THE SAGINAW pEv. co.

Aioo lCdNuCu d ueplu Ol oVA feet HI AuN shaft, and the water is coming in a little stronger with each succeeding foot in depth There is no longer any doubt but what the water level has been reached in the Saginaw This has been conceded by the manage ment, but sinking will be continued just so far as the water will permit. When sinking is no longer possible in the shaft without the assistance of pumps, station will be cut at that point and drifting commenced. When pumps are ordered for the Saginaw. which necessarily must be done dur ing the present year if the company makes greater depth. it is the inten- tion of the company to sink shaft down in the flat which will be desig- hated as the pump shaft, while at the same time being of sufficient size to permit of hoisting. Like the Shat tuck &, Arizona the addition of heay- fer machinery is among the necessary improvements in the near future. The diamond drill hole which was started on the Saginaw property S70 feet southeast from the shaft is not mak- ing good progress. and has not made a foot for the past six weeks on ac- count of trouble experienced by the drillers with the casing. President Mershon of the company. who was here a few days ago, is at present in Los Angeles. and is expected to return here before leaving for Michigan.

 WOLVERINE AND ARIZONA.
 The addition of about twenty men to the working force at the Wolverine &, Arizona has added to the good tone that prevails in the atmosphere out that way. which has been decidedly brisk since the reorganization of the company. This better feeling is due to confidence among those now at the Dronertv that results are going to be attained by carryinP ont the plans that have been outlined for develop ment after careful study of the gruond and results that have heen attained by previous work. Confidence beeets enthusiasm. which is most desirable thing to have about the conduct of work of any kind. It is present among the Wolverine employees.
 Work has been started in the drift on the 900 coming north in the direc- ton ot the Georgia and Chicago claims. When the work is well un- derwav a total of thirty-five men will be drawing pay checks signed Wolver- inc a Arizona Mining Company. The second drift on the 500, which is in 12O feet, has also been turned due north in it's course. The shaft on the Wolverine & Arizona was sunk on the outer edge of that property for convenience. and the best ground be- longing to that company lies in the district to be traversed by the shaft drifts. The latest reports from the shaft yesterday was to the effect that the water in the shaft was steadily di- minishing. There is less water in the Wolverine & Arizona shaft at pres ent than at any period since water was first encountered. The manage. ment which had under contemplation the purchase of expensive pumping machinery. have decided to defer this purchase for the present.
 The main drift continues on the line that has lately been followed and is steadily getting better looking ground As President Daniell, of the company, stated during the week. however. formation is as yet all the drift has" This formation, in the opinion of the management of the company. and of the miners working in it. is all that could be asked in the way of promising showing.

 AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT.
 The explanation of the seeming tardiness of American Development to go about work, when so much that is good is showing all around its ground may find explanation in the report that the company is after additions to it's present holdings. There are sev-
