THE NEW CALUMET q PITTS
 ~ BURG PLAN.

The new plans or the Caiumet 6 Pittsburg incluoe an abandonment of the shaft recently started, and the en- larging of the original two and one half compartment to a first class five compartment working shaft
 This is the idea of the new man agement and so far as ordinary ob- servation extends is a good one. The work of raising on the new compart- ments will be rushed from four differ ent levels by 8 hour shifis and the company expects to complete the work in about 60 oays. In the mean time diamond drill operations will be in progress.
 When the contemplated improve ments are completed in the shaft, a pump of immense capacity will be in stalled and settle the water question permanently.
 Top improvement at the Junction would indicate that the company is preparing for heavy work. The two big boilers are in position and the new hoist will be ready for business in a few days. This is an unusual and most welcome spectacle down on the flats" of Lowell. The diamond drill was still in operation last Tues day in the draw between the June tipn hoist and the Baker townsite One day last week they made forty feet in less than two hours, indicat- ing the txistance of a cave at about 750 feet.
 The Calumet & Bisbee is nearing the 1000 foot level. When that GOV eted hour arrives the men will clear the decks and get, ready for drifting. The comparatively, close proximity of the South Bisbee wonder strike naturally creates a nervous anxiety in lead of in that direction. It is not known to the press as yet whether sinking y i'll be continued without in- terruption or not after drifting com mences.
 Houghton Development people will explore proposition with a diamond drill It will not be difficult to reach bed rock on almost every part of the property Getting down to solid for nation which is necessary before starting off drill, is a formidable undertaking in many localities, con spicuously on the flat country out in the direction of the Boie Hill. and doubtless explains the fact that nc prospecting with a drill has been at tempted Tn that part of the district. Drilling operations in the Copper Glance are progressing beautifully This is the particular occasion on which the lowly and despised conglom crate plays into the hands of the miner. It is well adapted to diamond drill work In the north. moreover copper ;s almost invariably found ir conglomerate and the prospects fo1 pulling up core one of these days resplendent with brilliant sulphurets are really bright at the Glance. MT Beckwith went to the scene of oper ations last "Wednesday.
 At the Modern all is noti yiiy .u the way of getting ca iy fer action. The boarding house will he enlarged and other accommoda ris pr1vi ed immediately A No. ' Cameron "b' pump will shortly ar..ve ara will te employed in s.rk;rs. The nld faile. will be employed in sinking. The old bailer will be laid aside. and work proceed in dead earnest. It is quite evident that the new organization means business for the Modern, and the probabilities are that Modern stock will shortly bob back" to it's old basis, and realize an improvement on what has formerly been its best days.
 R. L. Samuel. of the Bisbee Consol- idated and Colonel Foreman, superin- tendent at the Calumet & Arizona sil- icate quarry just below Glance. were in Bisbee last Tuesday. Colonel Foreman is congratulating himself On the fact that they have boiler and a smoke stack at the silicafe quarry, and he can get up in the morning and blow a real steam whistle just like his neighbors, while President Samu- el is on hugging terms with himself ir view of the fine prospects they are now enjoying at the Bisbee Consoli- datede. The shaft on that property dated The shaft on the property up all that could be possibly expected at that depth.
