WISCONSIN MAN
 TELLS 0F VISIT

Mir. J. r. Jackson, representative ot the Wisconsin Bridge company, with
 headquarters at Marquette, and a gen.
 tleman well and fayorably known to the mining people of the Lake Superior
 country, has recently returned from
 an extended visit to the west and
 southwest, where he went to get a better idea of those districts and to see what might be done in the way of helping them out with steel structures. He is an engineer of much prominence.
 has taken orders and superintended an immense amount of steel construction
 for his comPany, and was anxious to conquer new fields.
 Mir. Jackson informs Iron Ore that he spent some time at Bisbee, Arizona, and became much interested in that camp. He was pleased with the man. ner in which the Bonanza Circle are doing things, and gratified by the re- suits being obtained. He says there
 has been more accomplished than those at a distance can appreciate. One has to see it to get a fair idea of what
 has been done. There has been a great ilustling on surface and a gratifying | cAAlOI14L Ol DpCA4EE Oi lAC QlluGl portions of the property.
 1 The mines most talked about by Bis i bee people outside of the Calumet & Arizona and Copper Queen, are the Junction Development and Lake Supe. rior & Pittsburg. Junction is the fav- orite of many of the mining men. The shaft shows some very fine ore and hthe bottom was in ground that was well stained with copper when Mr. } Jackson left Bisbee. He seems to
 think that it will prove valuable ad- dition to the Circle possessions.
 Lake Superior & Pittsburg is fast getting into shape for production, and ! 1t is looked upon as a very promising mine. Bisbee is destined to be a very active camp when all the new deserV- ing properties get to producing ore. There is need of more room and this will soon be available.
 | Mir. Jackson also took in the Tono- pah district where Lake Superior cap 1 ital is considerably interested. Ee | found it a wonderful camp. Within
 the past year much has been added
 that was not formerly known, the
 greatest gain being made in depth of
 the veins. The camp has a great fu- Eture. Tonopah Extension has proved
 the ore at depth. On this property the vein did not out crop, shaft 600 feet having to be sunk through the drift to locate it. It was found, however, and ! has proved richer than at points near
 CT surface. This is also true of sever al other properties. Montana Tonapah and few neighbors are doing excel lent work and with fine prospects for success.
 Goldfields is another camp where finds Of fabulous kind have been made 1 during the past six months. Sixty | thousand dollars worth of ore were
 taken from one little exploring pit, and
 many like cases are reported. Water Is scarce, but the necessities of life whisky beer. tobacco, etc, are abund- ant. One enterprising man running six
 automobiles with freight and passen-
 gers nets $100 per day for each ma
 chine.l The roads are excellent, the scarcity of rain giving hard surfaces over which the automobiles make fast
 time. Bullfrog is nearby camp that is also attracting attention.
 Like all such camps, there is plenty of wildcat concerns that are being
 worked for the gathering in of the dol
 lars of the tenderfeet who come in large numbers. The camp is played for all there is in it and many have
 been caught. It is the oft-repeated tale,
 and few pay any attention to it. There are few wonderful mines, many worthless that are legitimately operat- ed, and many more that never exsisted
 and which are being extensively ad- , vertised for the purpose of catching
 the money of the unwary.
