Arizona silver belt., 1906-12-16

has reached a depth of l55 feet. Work has been temporarily suspended pending the arrival of timbers and the new hoist. The entire shaft has been in schist and iron since a depth of 93 feet has been passed, with copper values averaging II per cent.
 On the Schulze No. 2 (Cananea X Globe) the gallows frame is ready for the installation of a new hoist. A shaft had been sunk to a depth of 155 feet under the former ownership and this shaft has been extended to depth of 265 feet and the entire shaft retim- bered. A drift has been driven from the 130 level to cut the ledge and the crosseut is now in twenty eight feet of oxides which run per cent copper. A crosseut from the bottom of the shaft has been started to cut the ledge. which is expected to be in ore some time this week. and sinking of the ledge has also begun.
 The work on both Sehulze mines is straight development work and sixty five men are employed on them.
 North Dominion
 On the North Dominion Mitchell Mining) where the shelter is being con. structed, four tunnels are being driven into the hill and a shaft has just been started, just above the site selected for the shelter ore bins. The shaft will have three cage compartments and a water compartment and it is their inten. ton to sink 1000 feet All of the tun- nels are in ore.
 Tunnel No. is l50 feet long on the ledge and thus far there is a showing of eight feet of earbonates and iron run ming l3 per cent copper.
 Tunnel No. is crosscut tunnel 237 feet long with a drift along the ledge of so to 90 feet. No. 2 is l96 feet to the ledge with a drift along the ledge for a distance of 80 feet, most of the way in ore. From No. 3 winze will be sunk to tunnel No. { and raise made to No. ?.
 Tunnel No. 1 is the bottom tunnel and erosscut the ledge at a distance of 457 feet last Wednesday, and 5s4 feet from the apex of the hill. The ledge has not as yet been crosscut. Ore at the point of the ledge intersected av- erages II per cent.
 Five Points
 At the Five Points property of the Cananea & Globe sinking has been tenn porarily discontinued until the new hoist is installed, but three shifts of ten men are at work drifting on two levels and all of the drifts are in ore
 A force of one hundred men are now at work on wagon road from the Five Points to the shelter site, distance of four miles, and ore shipments will begin as soon as the shelter is in stalled and in operation.
 Scotty, Tarr and Haley
 Development work has practically just begun on the Scotty, Tarr and Haley group and a shaft which was started a short time ago on the Scotty claim is now down sixty-five feet. The shaft is three compartment 4x5x6 in the clear. A windlass is being used for hoisting until new hoist arrives. The shaft is now in two and one-quarter feet of l5 per cent ore.
 A tunnel driven higher up on the Ha- ley property cut the ledge at distance j6 feet and is now 200 feet long with a heavy showing of per cent silieate ore. A winze is being sunk to breast the tunnel. This property also belongs to the Cananea & Globe.
 The Superior
 At the Superior mine, adjoining the Lake Superior & Arizona in Pinal conn ty. a Cananea & Globe property, three compartment shaft is being sunk and is now sixty-fve feet deep. A tunnel is being driven from the bottom of the hill to connect with the shaft at dis tance of 520 feet, and which will be used for pumping out the water. The shaft is now in very rich ore, recent as says of average samples running thirty eight and one-half ounces gold, 415 ounces of silver and 25 per cent copper. This streak is about twenty inches wide but the remainder of the shaft is in iron sulphides which run about AZ per cent copper.
 On the group which has recently been acquired from R. J. Young and A. T. Hammons in the Aravapai district on the San Carlos strip, preliminary devel- opment work IS progressing very satis- factorily under the supervision of Mir. Young.
