and 11th levels to connect with the
main working shaft, and the 18th,
which is also blind level, will in all
proba bility be connected with the
shaft to facilitate and cheaper the
\ opening of the level On the 14th
! the crosscut is being driven to cut
the main sulphide vein. An impor-
tant strike of sulphide was made a
few days since on the 18th. When
the level was unwatered and cleaned
up seam of good sulphide was ex-
posed by a cave from the roof and
drift was started to the west and
the vein of sulphide is now over
eighteen inches wide. 1t is the best
sulphide yet encounted on that level,
assayfng 24 to per cent. copper,
about 80 per cent. sulphur and 80 per
cent. iron. The vein gives promise
of growing still larger.-Belt.
The organization of the Globe Con-
solidated Copper company was per-
fected August 18th at meeting held
in the Offices of the company in the
Lonsdale building, Duluth. The Of
ficers are: President, 81. B. Hovland;
vice-presideut, r. B. Whiteside; Sc
cretary, J. Uno Sebenius; assistant
secretary, T. T. Hudson; treasurer,
T. T. Hudson, The directors are
five in number, as follows: L. Rouch-
leau, H. B. Hovland, Hoval A. Smith,
r. B.'Whiteside and J. Uno Seben-
ious. The Duluth News says: "The
Globe Consolidated Copper company
is regarded as strong organization
with one of the most promising pro-
perties in the southwest. A vigorous
plan of development is to be inaugur-
ated at once. Work is now in pro-
gress in two tunnels, working toward
the Josh Billings fault, and three
compartment working shaft is to be
sunk at once on the Gem claim. The
Globe company is negotiating for the
services of d mining manager of
prominence and wide experience and
it is expected that announcement of
his name will be made in a few
days.
Chas. NJ. Clark, of the Globe
Power company, was in Globe re-
Gently from headquarters camp on
Salt river at the mouth of Cherry
creek, where he has been engaged
for the past two months with En-
gineer G. NJ. Bull and several assist
ants in doing the preliminary work
of the great enterprise, the purpose
of which is to supply electric power
to Globe and the great mineral dis
trict surrounding this city. Survey
ing for the canal, tunnel and reser-
voir sites entail great deal of work
which will not be completed for
probably two months yet. The pro-
ject has grown in magnitude as the
possibilities of the scheme have un-
folded and the works will be planned
to. develop far greater horse power
than was originally thought possible.
The plans contemplate a series of
storage reservoirs along the course
of upper Salt river, which will in
sure a fall of 300 feet and a COM
paratively even volume of water in
the power canal the year around.
The parties represented by Engineer
Bull are prominent inanciers of the
east, who are interested in large en-
gineeriug projects ir different parts
of the world. 1t is expected that
construction work on the Globe power
project will commence sometime
during the coming fall.
Another stringer or small vein of
rich ore has just been encountered
on the Sullivan in the drift on the
loft. level, 100 feet from the shaft.
The stringer, which is , or 3 inches
wide, was encountered running YER
tically down in the middle of the
breast of the drift. Like the several
other similar stringers previously
encountered in this drift, this one
seems to continue to go down. Ore
is in different copper sulphides, in
quartz, and will, it is believed, run
5000 to the ton. The veins on Capt.
DunCan's Santa Fe claim continue
the same. They are still working
along the hanging wall in a westerly
direction toward the old shaft, pre-
pairing to sink somewhere in the open
cut. The vein running along 1.-THE
hanging wall is Is inches in width,
while or inches of ore occur along
the lime footwall. M. M. Mills last
Monday made shipment from Rodeo
to the smelter at FL Paso The ship
ment consisted of Is tons of copper
silver ore. E. E. Cochreham is haul
ing ore to the southwestern from the
Clarence May property, which is un-
der bond to him. Three shipments
from this property have been made,
and the fourth will soon go forward.
