 Lamar Cobb. a well known mining engineer. is now at work on a new map of the Clifton-Morenci district which will show all the surveyed claims in the district. It will be done to date, and of inestihable value to all who are interested in the dis trict.
 The Monte Cristo made another l shipment of high-grade ore 10 the Shannon shelter last week. which averaged close 10 30 per cent. This company has been almost self-suppor;- ing since it commenced development work on it's property.
 The tunnel on the Chase Creek com | panys property as now passed through more than 20 it. of lead mat ter, all of which carries sulphides. ,, Rich ore has not yet been struck. but Superintendent Stevens says that he expects to find good paying ore any day. He is really encouraged over the results of the past week.
 George c. Gill president of the shannon Copper company, spent ! | ast Heek at ;he Shannon mine. a71 | left for home Tuesday morning. He expressed himself highly pleased with | the way things were moving at the mine and plant. The mine is now outputting a better class of ore than | for some time past, and as a conse- quence the output from the shelter is also on the increase
 Rollo B. Watson. consulting engi- neer for the Shannon Copper com pany. in company with J. w. Bennie, manager of the shannon company, and George c. Gill. president of the same company spent Monday in the hills up the Frsco river, in a portion of the Greenlee district which they had not before seen. They returned well pleased with that section. and did not hesitate to say that they believed ! it had a very bright future before it.
 The secretary of the Clifton -Morenci mining bureau is receiving much en- couragement in his efforts to secure a big exhibit of ore for the Fl Paso ir- rigation congress. Several of the big companies have announced their inten- ton to participate in the exhibit, while nearly all of the smaller companies are already at work making their col lections. The bureau is now sending out regular weekly letters on the district to all mining papers in the United States, which will give the dis
 trict considerable amount of good ad- vertising.
 H L. Martyr, assistant superinten-
 dent of the Standard mines, who had
 business in Clifton this week. reports
 that the large amount of development work recently mapped out by Presi
 dent Ross, is being pushed rapidly and that some splendid new ground is
 being opened up. A new 25-horse power engine is now being placed in position at the mines which will take the place of the other two engines
 thus increasing the capacity and also
 cheapening the ' st of hoisting the
 ore from the mine The mines of the
 company are all looking well, and con
 siderable ore is being shipped, which win be materially increased later II
 the season.
 Charles Nelson, who is contracting with the Arizona Gold company or their mines up the Frisco, reports tha the work has been progressing rathei
 slowly during the past two weeks, bu
 as soon as the large ore cars arrive
 the work will be pushed with mor' , vigor. He says the ore is improvin; . as the tunnel penetrates the mountain l and that considerable free gold is nov : found in the ore. The vein matter il . also widening, and the indications ar most favorable for a good paying gol' property. The ore is now averagini between s15 and s20 per ton. Whei
 the tunnel was started the ore averas
