 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS

Ar1ZOna Mlnlng company, Cdpldlu James Hoatson was chosen vice presi- dent to succeed the late John s. Dy- mock who held that position from the organization of the company until the time of his death The vacancy on the board of directors caused by the death of MT. Dymock and filled by the elec- ton of Gordon R. Campbell as a. rector. Mir Campbell has been secre- tary of the company since its incep- ton, but heretofore has not been a member of the board of directors. The complete list of officers and board of directors at present is as follows: Charles Briggs, president: James Hoatson, vice president; Gordon R.. Campbell, secretary; Peter Rouppe. treasurer; Thomas HOatson of Calu- ment, George E. Tener of P.ttsburg, Thomas F. Cole of Duluth. Chester A. Congdon of Duluth. P. d'Autermont, Jr., of Duluth. This identical compile ment of officers extends through the entire Calumet & Arizona sisterhood, including the Lake Superior & Pitts burg, Calumet & Pittsburg. Pittsburg & Duluth and Junction.
 The development work troughout the entire group of properties in the Calumet {: Arizona sisterhood contin- ues with unremitting vigor There are probably 35 or 40 points of attack in this development. But the principal ones are the sinking of the Oliver shaft on the Calumet & Arizona prop erty; the driving of a drift from the function fn rr-s- l~,f from the Calumet & Pittsburg shaft; the sinking of the Pittsburg & Duluth shaft; the driving of a crosscut from the Pittsburg & Duluth shaft into the Hope claim of the Calumet x Arizona: i: the driving of drift from the Lake Superior X Pittsgurb No. shaft to- wards the Pittsburg & Duluth shaft the driving of a crosscut from this drift which will explore across the en tire property of the PittsbuTg & Du- luth.
 The Oliver shaft, which is the sec ond one sunk on the Calumet & Ari- zona property, has now attained a depth of 500 feet. The collar of the Oliver is approximately 150 feet lower than the collar of the Irish Mag shaft and 50 feet higher than the col Jar of the Copper Queens Lowell shaft. Therefore the present bottom of the Oliver shaft is equivalent to about the l. 050- foot level of the Irish Mag.
 Hence it is estimated that the shaft will have to go aat least another 100 feet in order to bring it to a depth corresponding with the depth of the Lowell shaft. which is now in perma- nent ore, as well as the depth at which the Irish Mag encountered it's perma- nent deposit The Oliver shaft at the present is bottomed in a mixed lime and pyrites of iron formation of an encouraging appearance, but not con. sisting of payable ore.
 However, the Oliver passed through a vertical stretch of 125 feet o1 pay ore which extended above and be low the S00-foot level. Therefore, the opening of this shaft has already de veloped ground which is much better than had ben expected at this depth No lateral openings whatever have been made in the body of pay ore through which the shaft passed Therefore it is impossible to know the extent of payable ground.
 The Junction shaft has now attained a depth of $50 feet. It has recently passed into a formation which show; radical change from that above The formation is much altered ant decomposed, showing a badly mixed condition, and is practically unidenti fled. The change is a decidedly fav orable indication, and better condi tions are looked for. A diamond dril is also in operation on the Junction property. It is probable that at leas six months will elapse before any def mite idea may be gained as to the out come in the Junction shaft. By tha time enough depth will have been at tained to bottom the shaft at leve which will approximately conform u the levels at which the other princi pal shafts of the district have encount cred pay ore.
 Therefore the next six to twelv months will be an interesting period il Junction affairs.
 The opening of the Junction shaf has changed the geological theory COT corning the Bisbee district Tins shai was opened at point which has bee looked upon until recently as 'on tn wrong side of the porphyry dike," thi dike being the line laid down as mari ing the boundary of the ore basin. Tn shaft has developed ground. however which shows conclusively that the lin laid down as the course of the dix was erroneous and consequently th Junction is in the regular limeston formation. The contact, therefor whIie not located is proved to be { least several hundred feet furths northeast than was formerly believe thus enlarging the circle of ''possibi ities" to that extent. It is safe to pr
 dict that for many years to come ne
 and unexpected conditions will found to exist in the district suTroun
 ing Bisbee and old theories will co
 tinue to fall.
 A drift is being driven from the 70
 foot level of the Junction toward u
 Calumet 6 Pittsburg shaft. This lev
 corresponds with the 900-foot level
