 piAMonp DRILL Within Few Weeks
MACHINE HAS ALREADY BEEN
 SHIPPED FROM MICHIGAN.
Captain Piper Returns from East During His Visit he Made Arrange ments, as Predicted by The Review, For Carrying Out Plans for Ex- pIoratien by Drill Method.

Captain James Piper, superintend-
 ent of the Mitchell development prop
 erty. arrived in Bisbee Monday, and
 yesterday morning left for the Hua-
 chuca mountains to look after the op-
 erations at his mine after an. absence
 of about three weeks. MT. Piper
 went to Michigan with his wife to
 attend the funeral of a relative He
 was accompanied on his return trip
 to Arizona by his son, William, who
 will take a position under his father
 at the mine
 The captains visit in the east re-
 suited in the arrangements for the
 installation of diamond drill machines
 on the Mitchell property, as was
 predicted some time ago by The Re
 view would be dune in the rear fu-
 ture. One machine is now enrcute
 to this city and is expected to arrive
 it will be shipped at once to the pro- it will be shipped once to the prop erty. It is probable that another
 drill will also be secured by the com
 pany to aid in carrying cut the ex-
 ploratory work it is planned to do throughout the Mitchell claims.
 Captain Mitchell said yesterday be- fore leaving for the mine that 1t was the intention to place the machine, that is now on the way, in the shaft and the work of cutting a station for the drill will be commenced at once so that there will be no unnecessary 6a- lay in starting the explorations by the new method It is calculated that the time that will elapse before the machine arrives will be sufficient fer completing the cutting of the station so the drill will be installed so soon IS it is delivered on the grounds.
 Exploitation by the use of 6rill- holes will be carried forward at the Mitchell in a vigorous manner and the captain expects to accomplish as much work as will be necessary to prove the property, by the drill meth cd, within six months at the outside. Hoes will be cut from the under ground workings, as we1l as from different points from the surface The explorations win be thorough in every respect An expert driil setter l and operator will arrive from Michi- gan in time to take charge of the ma chimes and the work willbe conduct I ed most systematically as we'll as 
 Conditions at the Mitchell property l continue most favorable, and indica- l tons in the workings now look more |, encouraging than at any previous | time. Until recently ore indications | were encountered only in the north east drift from the bottom of the ! shaft, but now the southwest drift, | which is in about the same distance I as the one running in the opposite di- 1 rection, has run into a formation that l gives good promise. The mineral in !! the face of the drift carries good ! quantities of beth copper and iron and | +here are indications that would seem | to point to the locating of an ore body | near by.
 The two drifts from the bottom of ! the shaft, which is down 365 feet, are i in some eighty feet and with both | workings now showing splendidly the l company certainly has req | son to feel ercoursg ged and to look | forward to very satisfactory results 1 before many months
