 DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
Making Preparation for Sink ing Vertical Shaft to a Depth of 700 Feet-0fficerS of the Company Well Known.

With mining development being car
 Tied Cn at such a rapid rate in the
 warren d!stIlCr. and so many com | Fanie5 operating within a radius of
 two miles from Biscae, it is not sur pris-lg that during the past two years little has been heard Of any other dis
 ,Tict3 where the small mine owners and prOSpectors have been steadily
 working away, with limited means Il | is true, but with determination that
 knows no rest, and with every assur-
 rance that in time capital would come
 10 their aid and, with it's assistance, 1 prove in . short time that not all the
 big copper deposits of the county are | c-nfiGed Jo the Warren district.
 l The Johuson diS.rict. where is To- l cated the Republic. Copper Chief, Mammoth. Black Prince and P1arody i g. cups, ill ne northwestern portion Of 1 the county. about five miles north of ! DIagcon Summit station, on the line Cf the Southern Pac lie railroad, is at ?! esent attracting the attention Of Eastern investors. as well as local min ing men, who during the past ninety l cay $ have been making investigations in that locality. It is reported that thc e. & A. crowd" have had men in the district making an investigation and 1t will not be surprising 10 hear of bond being taken by these mining men in this district for the purpose of dolng deep development work, which in the opinion of mining experts who have visited the district, will prove the assertion that another copper produc- ing district lies within the boundaries Of CoChise County, the equal of any already developed.
 Thomas Higgins, one of the original owners of the Calumet 6 Arizona gICur, and several other claims in the Bonanza Circle district, who disposed Of his holdings to the Michigan crowd when they made their advent into this district five years ago, has been in B!sbee on a visit for the past month. During tha ttime he t"ok occasion to make 2 visit to the Johnson district.
 The district as a whole impressed me fayorahly," said Mir. Higgins.
 Of course, the formation is different from what it .5 here but 1 believe that with deeper workings we shall soon see a producing district in that section of the county. The surface showings are wonderful and the in- cline shafts that have been sunk, the greatest only having a depth of 400 feet, have followed the ore from the surface all the way down."
 Continued good reports come from that locality. The Arizona 6 Michi- gan Development Company is attrac- ting considerable attention, and the purchase of the Federal sme!lter at Ei Paso by Col. W. G. Greene, places the operation Of the Peabody group under his control, and it is the expec- tation that he will commence opera tions at the Peabody on large scale. The Peabody group adjoins the prop Crty of the Arizona Michigan Develop nIenI Company, and the company is sinking a vertical shaft on the eastern end of their group which. at depth of five hundred feet, will cut the incline ore body, which has been followed down from the surface for a distance Of 400 feet. On the dump at this group is stacked up several cars of ore, which will average ten per cent copper. and could be shipped at a nice profit, but the policy of the com pany has been to develop Q mine and not "gouge' around for shipping ore. The management of the affairs of this company are in good hands. A. J. Pid- eeon is president and general mana ger and Hon. Steve Roemer is secre- tary and treasurer. MT. Pidgeon is a well known mining man and has been mining in Arizona and adjoining states fer the past twenty years. He became identified with this property about four years ago.
 The Arizona and Michigan com pany proposes to profit by the, expe- rience of other small development companies, and before they commence the development work planned on large scale, there will be ample funds in the treasury to warrant its success
 This will insure every stockholder reasonable guarantee ,hat results will be otDained.
 The property consists of two groups of claims adjoining each other, known as the Copper Chief of four claims and the Deckerow group of three claims. The principal work so far has been done on the Copper Chief, which consists of an incline shaft tdip fl deg. east. depth 400 ft.l following the main contact all in ore from surface on inc fcotwall, from which depth two drifts ia the ore body have been run, each 150 feet A raise from this drift in the ore body was run some
