Messrs. Hof, Morrison, Thomson. i S0mers, Burke, Stirret and Job II stockholders of the Standard Copper mines, spent Sunday last at the mines and were shown through the property by General Manager Rosecrans. They returned home highly pleased with the appearance of the property in gen eral, as well as the manner in which it is being handled at the present time. The new cage is now in operation which brings the large cars to the surface without the rchandling Of the ore as heretofore, which will permit Of larger tonnage being handled They also found the new tramwav working most satisfa :torily. As it was the first trip the above named sharehod- CTS had made to the mine since last sumner, they expressed themselves as greatly surprised at the vast amount of development work done since tbat time, and also at the large amount of ore now in evidence throughout the mine. It was the unanimous opinion Of all who visited the property that it is now showing more ore than ever be- fore, and also that recent equipment will enable the management to hand e the output more advantageou5lv than heretofore. The new 35 h.p. hoistine plant has arrived, but will not be placed in position for some weeks yet. as 1t Is necessary tO make connections from the point where the plant will te located to the workings, which work, however, is progressing rapidly They report the faces Of the north drifts, running towards San Jose ground as in excellent ore, as is also the nO-th and south drifts recently started from the bottom of the incline shaft. In the south drift on the third level at the point indicated, the solid glance ore will average from three to five feet in width. The incline shaft is being continued on down On higb grade glance. It is expected thas within two or three months the north dri ts Of the first-aud- second levels will pass the side lines of the Fire Fly and will enter the San Jose claim, owned by the Standard Consolidated c company. which will be opened and operated through those levels. the ore being brought to the surface by the Standard tramway. which will be of great al- vantage to the Consolidated company. as it will pu, it's property on paying basis from the ~tIrt.
