 The party of directors and stock. holders of the Lake Superior & Ari- zona Mining company compt sed of President John D. Cuddihy, John T. Reeder, Captain Thomas Maslin, pr. C II. Rodi and Dr. w. T. King, who recently visited the mine, made a very favorable report on the property nm their Ieturn to Houghton, Mich., aS noted by the Michigan Mining Gazette.
 "Above the water level highly favorable development has been secured in very promising ore de- poSit. and theoretically it should con tinue below the water level indet. uitely, since the characteristics pre- yaIent in the Lake Superior & Arizona mine have been thoroughly tested by solicitations elsewhere.
 "The shaft with which it is purposed tu develop the ore body at depth is at present filled with water. It is deemed uuadvisable under present coalitions to unwater the shaft, since The working conditions could scarcely he maintained as long as the rains last.
 .sThe shaft is now bottomed at a depth of 2S5 feet and in its sinking at depth Of 125 feet it passed through the vein which has been developed by means of tunnels higher up on the hillside.
 "On horizontal plane only few feet above the collar of the shaft is the Carlton tunnel. Above this, at ar altitude of about 100 feet or more, is the Anderson tunnel. Around the hill side from these two tunnels, and driv- ing in as croSscut to intersect the ore bodies npOn which the Anderson and Carlton tunnels are developed, IS the Holt tunnel. This is on horizon. tll plane a)Out midway between the Anderson and Carlton tunnels. Work at present Is being conducted at three points, viz: Crosscutting by means of three parties in the Holt tunnel, to test the size of exceptionally tiue gold aud copper bodies disclosed there; raising from the Carlton tunnel to connect with the Holt tunnel in ord,r tl secure better ventilation; sinking a winzs in the principal ore body of the property from the Anderson to the Carlton tunnel for the purpoSs of ventilation aud to test the character of the ore.
 'Iu high-grade ore body in the Carlton tunnel opened recently near the 0reaSi uf the drifJ, there is an IS inch pay streak of extremely valuable ore, the gold showing 5000 of better to the ton.
 "The visitors were strongly i'm pressed by the similarity of the for nation in the Bisbse region with that opened by the Lake Superior & Ari- zOna miue In both places limestone constitutes the hanging wall and quartzite the foot wall. The oxide and carbonate ores aO1ve the water level are identitical in appearance, and the fact that the Lake Superior X Arizona disclosed sulphide orc at the point where it's shaft passed through the vein leads to the assumption that depth will show the lower ore bodies of both districts tO be identical, namely Sulphides.
 "Ine shipments of ore are confined only to what the directorate considers iudicious to satisfy the stockholders concerning the va, les of the property. It is the desire of the management to retain all of the oxide and carbonate copper ore and its association of iron ore that is possible, in order to have 1t for nGx.Eg purposes after the s,lphide ore bodies are developed.
