MITCHELL PROPERTY
 AND ITS ORE SHOWING
IT IS ALTOGETHER ENCOURAGING IN VIEW OF LAST END OF
 WORK.
Accomplished on Ground in the Hua- chuca-This is the Opirsion of Those Who Have in Late Months Given Workings Thorough investigation.


 Some of the principal interests in the Mitchell Development company, which has been idle for several months on account of depletion of funds and uncertainty regarding the option ex- tension. says the Houghtnn Gazette. have been carrying on an investigation of the showing made before work was suspended. The result of this is a re- vival of interest in the property and the planning of an immediae resump- tion of work. A strong factor in the revival of hope for the property is an extension of options. which has just been secured.
 The No. 2 or main shaft of the Nit chell has attained a Gepth of S65 feet Three lateral openings were driven in this shaft at a depth of $50 feet. One was a crosscut northward which was driven 92 it. Another was a drift west ward. driven 116 feet, and the third a drift eastward driven 100 feet.
 In the shaft at a depth of $50 fee: body of manganese ore came in un- der an iron capping This manganese formation dipped at slight angle to the north, and a the present bottom of the shaft, 15 feet below. it is going out of the shaft at the northeast cor her. The manganese ore contains en- couraging copper values and is looked upon as the proper thing to follow to secure high grade copper ore
 In the north crosscut a diamond drill hole will now be driven with an incline of 60 degrees to the south carrying f toward a vertical line projected downward from the shaft It is expect- ed that the diamond drill will encount CT the manganese ore body after per etrating about 100 feet Two other diamond drill holes are projected from the same point, one dipping to the east and the other to the west. for the pur- pose of exploring the ground into which the manganese vein is leading.
 At the end of the west drift a dia mond drll hole was bored before the A core was extracted at a depth of 341 feet below the S5G-foot level. which passed through seven feet Of ore containing copper and silver val ues of s13.44, associated with iron In ths west drift at a point 3S feet from the shaft, some good ore was encount- cred but was never developed
 In the east drift three crosscuts have bee- iven one about haif way along fits length and the other two near its extremity. The one half way which crosscuts to the southward and the other at the extremity crosscutting to the southward show strong minerali- zation. The cro5Scut to the northward near the extremity of fhe drift is breasted in a very promising copper ore at present.
 The Mitchell interests who have taken up this matter propose that the property shall be thoroughly tested both with a diamond drill and by means of shafts. drifts and crosscut Particu-ar attention will be given tc the diamond dIIll in the north cross cut. which will search for the mangan ese ore body at depth, and in the east drif- where the crosscut is breasted il ore
 No 2 shaft is 205 feet from the Tex as shaft which lies to the east. anf therefore it is possible that the Texas shaft will be valuable as a point 0, attack after the mineraiized ground il the east drift is more thoroughly ex r'~ro1 T. is the opinion of stock hold CTS who are acquainted with the fact that the No. 2 shaft will be sunk an' drif-s run at greater depth to test th' shaft and diamond drill.
 At a recent meeting of the share boIders of the Mitchell. it was resoIy ed that all delinquent holders O stock should be given 10 days notic' to pay up their installment of s1 pc share which is past due and that al whirh remains unpaid at the end O that time should be sold. The mos of this install lment has been paid. 1 is planned that another installment o 50 cents a share shall be called forth with for the purpose Of carrying ol the diamond drill and other explors tory work.
 The company has capitalization o 3O.OOO shares, all of which is out ending. and therefore the installmen just called will yield s15.000 in add tion to the money which will be fortt coming from the delinquent stock
