Bisbee daily review., 1904-09-04

 already penetrated Calumet & Pitts burg territory and after crossing the boundary line it has shown copper values to an extent in leached ore.
 The Pittsburg & Duluth shaft has now attained depth of 1.200 feet. It it is in lime formation of an encourag- ing character, but has not disclosed pay ore
 A drift connects the Pittsburg & Duluth shaft with the Irish Mag shaft at the s50-foot level of the Mag At the same depth drift is being driven from the Pittsburg and Duluth shaft to explore the Hope and Wagner claims of the Calumet & Arizona These two ing portion of the Calumet & Ari- zona but are exceptionally well locat- cd and adjoin the Pittsburg & Duluth on the north.
 This drift has now passed 200 feet beyond the Hope boundary, but the results are not yet definite enough to give conclusive information as to the values of the Hope. The drift is now in a lime formation. If Developments are favorable it is probable that at some time in the future these two claims will be opened by means of shaft. But before this is done they will be thoroughly explored through the drift which is being driven from the PittsbuTg and Duluth.
 The drift which is running north from the No. shaft of the Lake Sn- perior & Pittsburg at the 700-foot level Of that shaft is headed for the Pitts burg & Duluth shaft. This level cor responds to the 9O0-foot level of the Pittsburg & Duluth. and a drift is driv- ing from that point to connect with the Lake Superior & Pittsburg.
 The drift north from the Lake Su- psIior G Pittsburg has been carried 1900 feet from the shaft and has been in Pitsburg & Duluth ground for two months. having penetrated that territory about 150 feet. There re- mains about 200 feet of ground yet to open in this drift before connections are made with the Pittsburg & Du- luth.
 No copper IS snOwlng ln this drift 700 and 800 feet from the Lake Su- pe-ior & PIttsburg shaft a stretch of copper pyrites was passed through for a distance of 14 feet
 This stretch of pay ground which was opened. shows how easy it is 10 miss the ore. and how uncertain are the results of development. In pass ing through the ore for a horizontal distance of fl feet the drift was not bottomed in it to depth exceeding IS inches at any time. In other words. if the drift had been carried on plane two feet higher, it would have passed entirely over the ore body and left is undiscovered. Num- erous other instances of the same kind are matter of record in the Bisbee district.
 No development has been made on the ore body thus opened by the Lake l Suprior & Pittsburg's north drift, and | its depth and other dimensions are eu- tirely unknown.
 A crosscut was started a short time ago from the Lake Superior & Pitts bu.g's north drift after it had enter. ed the P.ttsburg & Duluth territory It is the purpose of this crosscut to drive across the Pittsburg & Duluth ] group of claims and explore them to the extreme boundary.
 The Pitsburg & Duluth develop. ments are being carried forward very aggressively. The desire to attain definite results at an early period is i accentuated. in the case of this group by reason of the expiration of the op ton about the first of next year. Ii is hoped that before that time arrives i enough encouragement will accrue 1 from the development in hand to guar antee the organization of the Pitts burg & Duluth into a mining company and thus put 1t on a permanent basis permitting the exercise of the options
 The options on the Junction prop erty still have over a year to run be 1 fore it will be necessary to exercise them.
 The overthrow of the Fold theor, about the location of the porphyr,
 dike, which was supposed to mark tn,
 limit of the ore deposit, means a grea
 deal more to the Calumet & Arizona sisterbood than merely the includin;
 of the Junction claims in the limeston, formation. The Calumet & Arizon; |, Mining company individually own an other group which ties outside of thi old imaginary boundary line Thi group consists of the Angel, Old Re
 public and Washington claims. whicl lie north of the Copper Queens ney , shaft which was started during tn } present season and which will be tn , largest opening that the big compan
 will possess. Incidentally this new Col [ per Queen shaft is also outside of tn line formerly laid down as the bound i ary of the ore basin.
 9 The Calumet & Arizona's group ( F undeveloped claims are near what v known locally as the ''ice plant" g view of the present development of tn ; Junction and the Calumet & Pittsburi r the outlook is assuming a very favo
 able aspect for this group of claim j. It is not calculated that any deve e opment will be done upon them in u l immediate future. but their value f rising appreciably in view of the pre-
