AIR BLASTS IN
 THE ATLANTIC MINE.

ances at the Quincy one man was
 killed and four injured to greater or less degree. In the coroner's inquest over the Quincy victims the testimony developed that the ground came up- ! wards. and that the man was not killed hy falling rock.
 Indications at the Atlantic are that the worst part of the troublesome aIr blasts is over. but it will take much l timeyto repair the damage. The shafts
 will need to be re-opened and re-tim- bered and ali the men will eput on
 this work that can possibly be ac- cGmodausd in the shafts.
 The Quincy Mining company is con cEcting tests of fuel economizing de-
 vice at it's smelling plant at Ripley,
 where il mas been attached to one of tie boilers. Another is being tried
 at the No. boiler house at the mlne. IL is known as the Hawleydown-draft furnace, designed to effect a saving
 Of fifteen per cent in fuel corsump- tion. The device is now introduced fer the first time in the copper coun- try IL 1t proves successful the
 Qunicy will use 1t in all Of it's power statioIfs.
 The diamond drill which the Rhode Island company is operating on the Kearsage amygdaloid belt is driving d hole on the incline of the formation.
 The results of the work or the depth
 which the drill has attained are not divulged by the Rhode Island officials. There is continued improvement in the ground being opened in the drifts north from No. shaft at the Mo
 hawk mine No. shalt also is pene- trating better grade of copper rock than was found in the upper levels. In the openings on the level south from No. . shaft, the southermost orening, the ground is uniformly pro ductive. The work of remodeling the Mohawk's stamps at it's mill on Tray eTss bay is progressing steadily. The nine will be able to supply the heads their full quota of rock, 2,500 to 2,S00 tons daily. when the work is finished. Work Cn the TamaracK mine has not yet been resumed, owing 10 the large volume of water which accumulated during the fire. The baileTs in Nc. , shaft are rapidly draining the work iEgs. however. and it is expected that conditions will permit the resumption
 Of work in the underground openings this week, or next week at the latest. While it may require some little time 1 to place the mine on a normal operat- ing basis, once the Tamarack does re- sume. the production will be increased to normal proportions as rapidly as possible owing to the length of idle ness many of the miners have ob- tained work elsewhere. This is not unnatural, as there is a great demand for experienced men in the lake cop per district at the present time, and many men are coming from the mines in Cornwall. ng., 10 take positions here.
 Nc. 5 shaft of the Tamarack will be the first to resume work. Nos. and will start up fews days afterwards.
 There Is barely any gas In the mine
 now and the water Is all that prevents
 men being sent to the workings. Work on the Medora tract of the heweenaw Copper company will be
 watched with interest, as it Is likely to be the scene of the first extensive
 operations of this corporation. The
 showing in the bottom of the old shaft 1 which was recently unwatered Is good. A test pit a short distance away has ] cut the lode and exposed copper
 showing. The shaft is being provided
 with the equipment necessary for more extended investigation of the lode. DiaNond drill work continues.
 but nothing of exceptional interest has been found lately at those points. l Operations on the Calumet & Hecla
 Mining company's Delaware property
 in Keweenaw county are quite en- ccuraging. There are three shafts being opened at that point and copper
 is in evidence in all. The old Della
 ware property was opened extensively
 upon what was known as the conglom-
 crate in the early days of the district
 and money expended upon a lavish
 scale The. present activity of the
 Calumet & Hecla company Is on the
 Montreal River lode, heretofore un-
 developed formation, which gives
 promise of making good mine. In the blacksmith, machine and car i porter shops of the Calumet & Hecia l cGmpany at It's main scene of opera i tens in Calumet, electricity has sup | planted steam as a motive power. h. dividual motors have been installed ir | the various shops and the current is
 received from the large new electric
 power plant a. the stamp mill location | In Lake Linden.
