 The Copper Queen mines are in- creasing their output The old shelter is still running al full capa- city; considerable ore is being sent to Douglas. and several carloads each day to Globe.
 Their new smeltirg plant is not com. plete. but few of the furnaces are working. IL will be but few weeks. however. until 1t is ready 10 take all of the ore from the Bisbee mines, when the plant here will be torn d""n. The foundation for the large hoist of the Gardner shaft is reaiy and the steel gallows frame Acd machine shop complete. All of the machinery IS on the ground. and wsil he V pace by July 10. This shaft IS between the Hill. Ground has been graded Tor new shaft at the southeastern end of Sacramento Hill, and sinking will be gin immediately.
 The Calumet and Arizona is produc- ing it's usual tonnage of ore. A dia- mond drill was at work for some time in the bottom of the shaft. and another ore body was encountered some 300 feet below the ore being worked al present. Two drills are boring on l10O-foot level. The Oliver shalt or the Senator claim of this company IS now about $40 feet and has passed through 100 feet of good ore. Some has been encountered Drifting iS going on at $40 feet. This shaft has been connected some time with the Irish Meg shaft. and during the pro gress Of the work some fine ore was cut
 The Lake Superior & Pittsburg De velopment company became a mining company on the first of June lhs 40 01o shares of development stock were increased to 300.00 shares oi mining stock all Of the par value oi s1O. Each share of development stocS received in exchange two and one half shares of mining. with the prlVf lege of buying two and one-half more a, nar value The market value of .he new issue was s31. and it Is need. less 10 say that all of the holders oi Development stock exercised theii right of subscribing for the full issue. Owning a large acreage of ground. ana with rich ore deposits already exposed this company win be big producer of copper. A heavy flow or walS. was encountered on the 110o-foot level last month and all work below the 100 has been discontinued The drift connecting No. and No. shafs' 2.5oO feet long, is completed. An nm mense amount of high-grade ore was cut during this work. Drifting from No ? shaft 10 the Oliver is in progress and also an exploratory drift to inc northwest. The new four-compaft ment shaft will be about 200 rect northwest of No 2. 1t being more economical and satisfactory to slnh a new shaft than to enlarge NO. -' which is only one and one-half com partments.
 The Calumet & Pittsburg company have completed the enlarg.ng of 'nei shaft 10 one of five compartments. Al the lowest level, 500 feet, two sta 1000 gallons per minute are being in- 1000 gallons per minute are beino ln- stalled. Each will be connected wltn the surface by 12-inch discharge column, and either will handle the water now coming in. Four 5OO sar lon sinking pumps are ready TOT the sinking. which will commence about July l. A battery of five marine boilers of 500 horsepower each. and a new hoisting plant are now on their way from the east Some diai mond drill work has been done in the bottom of the shaft and the hole reached a depth of over five hundred feet. when the bit was lost A big lot of ore was passed through in this work.
 The Pittsburg and Duluth company encountered ore in the drift connect ing their shaft with the Irish Mag oi the Calumet & Arizona.
 The Junction Development company shaft is now 500 feet, and they are cut ting a station at the TAO No drift ing has yet been done Diamond drills have been at work on this prop erty for the past year and several holes one 1900 feet put down. new one has been started near the cemetery. One a portion of the June tion holdings, known locally as Baker vile. churn drill has been started, bu. 100 small time has passed to give any reliable data as 10 its work.
 It can be said. however that the dia- mond drill is not satisfactory in the Bisbee district In all of the work done here but one hole has reached any depth. The ground in places chips or caves, so as to seriously in terfere with the work. Other ground will swell, requiring constant roaming of possibly the loss of bit. When ore or leached ore bodies are reached away goes the drill water The drill runner may go 20 feet or he may go an inch during his shift. The daily progress of the whole is uncertain. Some reach a fair depth at a low cost per foot. others at a high cost It is said that the average cost Of all drill work here is s4.50.. A hole of course might be driven to an ordinary depth notwithstanding all these faults. but
