 MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

uperintendent Stafford of the Ari- zona Pacific Copper company, has got his working force at the Woolly shaft well organized and is sinking the shaft at the rate Of two and half feet to the shift, which is excellent speed for hand work in a double compartment wet shaft.
 He has received new sinking pump and when it is installed he will be able to make still better speed in sink ing. The inflow of water is decreas- ing and his present pumping plant takes care of it with ease. He has completely overloaded the gasoline hoist and it now works without a hitch. He is tirst-class machinist as well as an accomplished mining en. gineer, and has the engine, air com. pressor and air pump working like clock work.
 The shaft is down about 320 feet and Mir. stafford expects to continue it down to depth of 300 or 500 feet be. fore crosscutting to the con tact where they expect to find their ore bodies Bunches of fine looking copper stained quartz are now appearing in the bot tom of the shaft.
