IRON ORE CORRESPONDENT.
Writes enthusiastically Concerning
 Bonanza Circle Showings.


 We are in receipt of a communica- ton, says Iron Ore, Published at Ish- peming, Michigan, from a Lake Supe. rior gentleman who recently visited Bisbee, and who thinks the Circle is being well handled. He knows a good ceal of mines and his judgement is considered excelkSt: Beginning, he says: Iron Ore is all right. Only a few can make the trip to Bisbee and come home with a satisfactory knowl- edge of what is being found there. Un- less one can have the facilities which were accorded me, one being an un- der-ground foreman who took samples between the different levels at my ei- bow and told me how they assayed. be would return not very much wiser.
 l first went to the Junction to see those green sulphides so Unexpected ly encountered in an exploratory drift along the contact They were cer- tainly good to look at, but I was fear full that from the action of the stock some of my friends right think they had struck some copper glance. I did mot dare to send any telegrams from DAoOCC as AANg ohANAl NOuA0 nav been misunderstood. I figured that if the stock temporarily advanced too fast, and surely would react, that some day it would sell higher, any way. I then went through the c. 6 P. and the following day visited the under ground workings of L. S. & p. and P. 6 D.,where they were also just getting into fine ore. After that I spent two days there, then returning revisited l.. S. & P. and P. & D. I have always had a favorable opinion of l.. s. & P, yon know. The ground to the north of No. 2, shaft, the Cole, passing through it. Leached ore did not mean much. But after having time to digest what I saw in the up- per levels of Calumet & Arizona, go- ing down on that leached stuff to big stopes below the 400-foot of teaching on No. ? crosscut, L. s. & P. looked good enough to eat the second time going through the property. The con- ditions with Calumet & Arizona are identical, and plain enough after one has been through both mines. I was very much su-ipNsed upon arriving here to learn L. s. & P. was selling below s4S. It must be some one has been selling it to buy either P & D. or Junction, as both seem strong. h. asmuch as the big ore body on P. & D. is encountered only 200 feet from the L. s. & P. line, do not see the wisdom of selling L. s. & P. to make exchange. It seems to be a more cer- tain operation to sink on ore if you desire to keep in 1t than to raise up in it at that camp. Both are fine prop critics.
 In talking about Calumet & Arizo- na I am careful to do so guarGedly as to what I saw there, to any but those who know me well enough to believe that would not put on rose-colored glasses in going through a mine
 The Bisbee camp as a whole i'm presses one with the courage eVideinc- ed by the directors of the Bonanza Circle. What other set of, men would have the courage to put down the c. & P. shaft in the face of that volume of water. One has to turn away from that pumping plant, take Q look at the Del Norte claim of the company and confidence is restored. The Del Norte, as you know, is located close beside the Lowell mine of the Copper Queen company, and soon to be one of it's greatest producers"
