Other Point Aside From the Calumet
 q Arixona-Captain Hoatson Says 1t
 Is to Make One of the Great Mines
 of the West.
 There is nothing particularly new to report from the BonaLza Circle group this week. Work is being pushed energetically al all points. and at every shaft the conditions are healthy and encouraging. Most in- terest centers at Lake Superior & Pittsburg. probably, as there has been more ore shown up at this point than at any other aside from Calumet & Arizona, which is an older property The water which came into the 1lO- foot level two weeks ago. and which the drift level, and drifting will soon be resumed. The water here met with was evidently surrounding the ore body a short distance south This is shown by the way the water has gone down in the winze. There was several feet of water in the bottom or the later before the miners cut the channel in the britt. but now it has disappeared and the sinking of the 'winze is going on. it having made 20 feet from the level with the bottom still dry This is a most encourag- ing sign, as it shows the ore is going downward as well as the water. This winze was started several months ago and was discontinued al about 40 fleet because the water came in too fast for the miners to care for it. The drift on the 1100-foot level will have to be pushed over 100 feet further to tap this ore body. and the manage ment is confident it will be found. The work in the winze assures it. Con- nection between the Cole and No. shaft of this property will be made in a few days. We expect news of the holeing any time This will be great help. The Co.'s shaft is a small, hot one. It was originally sunk by the South Bisbee company for exploration purposes, and the present owners continued it at the former size II will be enlarged in the near future and improved as the conditions an- derground warrant, and conditions seem to be of a very encouraging na- ture In the meantime ore could be trammed and sent 10 the surface through No shaft
 Capt. Hoatson says Lake Superior S Pittsbarg is to make one of the great mines of the west. and the cap tain is a pretty good judge. He hi' it pretty we'll in the Calumet Ari- zcna, and he does not hesitate 10 say that he thinks Lake Superior & Pitts burg has a better chance for great big mine than his old favorite, and the latter isn't anything very small. The ore thus far found has been of high grade and il also runs well in the precious metals With connection be- tween the shafts made. and with the bottom drifts into ore, there will be some thought given as to when to run a little ore to the smelters. l. is likely the Copper Queen company will be given 2 chance to treat the ore for a time at least. They have offered 10 do this at a very low figure, and it may be decided to let them have the business for a time. They have plenty of smelter room in their new plant at Douglas. Calumet & Arr zona has an extra smelter, but 1t will undoubtedly need this for its own mine as soon as the Oliver shafts gel fairly into commission, cs it soon will. People do not seem to realize just what the Lake Superior & Pittsburg possess. The only way to grasp its proportions and location is to pay it a personal visit It is coming along fast. and the half has not been told concerning it.
 Calumet & Pittsburg will not be ready to resume sinking its shaft for at least six weeks There is lot of work to be doae in placing the new equipment, and this is short time ip which to perfect the much that is now under way Nothing will be done in the way of sinking of drifting until the machinery is in place and operat- ing satisfactorily. Then. with the shaft down about POO additional feet, .and with drifts extended a few hun dred feet, there should be something good to talk about Mines are not made in a day, but when one is found in the Bisbee camp 1t well repays for the waiting. In our own Michigan field we have 10 wait at least five years for anything like a paying pro duct. and often this is not found even at the lapse of such time. Lake Su- perior & Pittsburg will come along fast because it has the ore and can ar range to have it sent to surface in the near future. And We wish to suggest th-.s the ore is a pretty goo thing to have showing in a mine.
 Piusburg & Duluth has been look ed after during the week several lots having been p.cked up at ridiculously low prices. This is a development stock that will have rights. etc. when transformed into mining company. it has a fine lot of claims. excellent surface conditions. and has cut very favorable rocks underground.
 Junction reports nothing new. Its shaft is going down and diamond drilling is under wag. It has the right formations, and is favorably looked upon--Newitt's Iron Ore.
