Special to The Journal
Calumet, Mich, Oct. 6.-The most important
event in the Lake Superior copper district for
some time Is the striking of the kearsarge
amygdaloid lode this week at the new shaft ON
the Allouez property. The formation cut
by diamond drill some 300 feet below the bot
tom of the shaft, or at total depth Of 1850
feet as measured on the incline. While it
practically almost certain that the Allouez
would find the lode, the fact that it has struck
it will remove whatever doubt may have existed
in the minds of more conservative investors.
So far nothing bearing the stamp of anthem
ITCHY has been learned regarding the condition
Of the lode Little uneasness need be felt re-
garding the result, however, as the richly min
eralized ground opened in the Ahmeek mine on
the east and the Osceolas North Kearsarge
branch on the southeast, demonstrate clearly the
| value Of the Allouez propertq. AS as the
! necessary data have been secured the Allouez
| management will resume sinking operations in
| the shaft. 1t will probably require three
| months from the day sinking is resumed to bot
tom the shaft in the Kearsarge bed.
| Telegraphic adVices received at the main office
of the Calumet & Arizona Mining company il
| this city, from the superintendent of the mine
| at Bigbee, give the September production as
2612, 600 pounds Of blister copper, 80 per cen
fine.
| Affairs at the Adventure are improving grad
| ualy. The September product los tons
of mineral, which is 10 per cent larger than thu
previous months output While the Adventure
past Is not a glorious one, continuance of thu
| present improvement should bring the propert,
out Of the slough. Some excellent stopping ter
ritory has been opened recently and a suffcien
quantity of this character of ground would per
init Of large and profitable production
An important find has been made the sout
half of section 16, township 90, range 80, b.
the WyandOt Copper company. The outcro
of lode has been found in the bed of Miser
river, and the few charges that have been sho
off threw out some excellent rock. The forma
ton is anygdaloid, the rock being of dark
reddish appearance, associated with epidote, cal
cite and quartz. The lode has a width o
twenty feet. gang of men is engaged i
stripping the overburden prepare tory to the sink
ing Of shaft. The Wyandot company ha
l secured an option the north half Of tn
! section, which will give it length Of outcro
on this lode Of about mile.
| Steel for the twOhead addition to the mi
of the Champion Copper company. at Freda, ha
arrived and the work of erecting 1t will b
started shortly by the Wisconsin Bridge an
Iron company, which has the contract.
