Calumet, Mich, Feb. 26-No. 20 shaft
of the Calumet & Hecla mine has pene-
trated the Kearsarge amygdaloid lode.
The shaft is a vertical exploration open
ing. The openings made in the lode at
No. 20 reveal a formation with good char
acteristics, and copper Is disseminated
thruout the entire measure. The showing
on the Kearsarge at the Calumet q Hecia
is gratifying. The lode has been pene-
trated for Its entire width at No. - shaft
and shows good stamp rock.
While the present showing Is encouraS-
ing and will lead to thoro exploration,
it will not result In such extensive opera
tons as were witnessed on the Osceola
amygdaloid lode few years ago. The
formation will be tested further by drift
ing, and later on permanent incline shafts
will be sunk on the dip OF the lode.
Great interest is manifested In the Calu-
met & Hecla's Kearsarge explorations as
they may add many years to the life OF
the great corporation.
Sinking in No. 2 shaft Of the Victoria
mine has reached a point below the
twenty first level, nearly 1000 feet from
the surface. The drifts below the fourth
level expose good copper bearing ground
There are about five miles OF openings In
the mine. Within a few weeks work on
a shaft, which will be the main
working shaft, Will start

improved mineral yield, and production
Is larger than ever before. The Atlanta
