plant and all the other necessary ma
 chinery for the Lake Superior and Ari-
 zona mine. It is expecsed that this
 machinery will be delivered at the
 property at an early date, and it's in-
 stallation will be pushed as rapidly as
 possible. The Lake Superior & Ari2o-
 na has now passed the development
 stage, and the showing at the mine
 fully warrants the installation of heavy
 machinery. y.-Calumet (Mich.) News.
 The Tucson Post states on the
 authority of John Brockman, of the
 Commonwealth gold mine at Pearce,
 that the main shaft of the mine has
 not caved in as has been reported, but
 that the supports in some of the cross
 cuts gave way. The mine, which has
 been big gold producer, will not be
 abandoned, but the company will
 spend about five months in doing de-
 velopment work. Mir. Brockman re-
 gards the property as good as it ever
 was, and expects it to be back on the
 old basis by the first of next June.
 We learned from Deputy Sheriff
 Mellin of Kelvin, Saturday, that James
 Elder and L. Citadina have made a
 new gold discovery within the vicinity of Kelvin that promises to develop into very valuable property. The vein is eight feet wide and the ore shows free gold and "horns' gold in large quantities. That section has not been half prospected yet and we are not surprised to hear that new strikes are being made in rapid sue cession.-Florence Blade.
 Tuesday last the Gold Road shipped q S20, 900 bar of bullion to the mint by way of Needles says the Mohave Mi ner. This brings the shipments of bull. lion up to $42, 2,000 in the past thirteen days. At this rate of production the mine is fast becoming world beater. With the addition of labor-saving de- vices this mill will be one of the larg- est producers of gold on the coast. It Is presumed that the management has decided to put in electrical transmits. sion lines from the railroad to operate | the mines and mill and at the same | time make many impor tant changes in the reduction and handling of ores.
 From one big body of ore into an. other has been the experience of the Lake Superior and Pittsburg company n the development Of ts property in ,he Warren district, near Bsbee. The first big strike was made few weeks igo in the southern drift from the 1000 foot level. The drift passed through 130 feet of ore before coming )ut into the country rock again. Of his l3O feet, 115 feet was high-grade ore while the remainder was of pro- itable character. The drift then pass Id fifty feet of lime and rock and is low into another body of ore for a distance of ten feet. This latter ore uns 34 per cent copper.
