THE IRON CAP MINE
 OF GLOBE DISTRICT
A Promising Property in Which
 Phoenix Men are Inter- sted.

From M. J. Galpin. superintendent O.
 the company exploiting the Iron Cap
 mine in Globe and whose return
 here for a brie; stay was mentioned
 yesterday, some further details con corning the present conditions have been learned. MT. Galpin said
 that during his absence his son Will, is in charge and has developed into d
 very level headed young business man.
 His visit here was not only to look IaroUnd for a hoist, but for a pump and engine as well, but he will probably have to return 10 Globe and perhaps
 go from there to Los Angeles before he gets the machinery he wants. The shaft is down something over 15O feet | and everything is progressing splen- didly except that the water is com | ing in so fast that the whim hoist can hardly keep up with the procession and
 a good pump is needed.
 l Contrary to the intimation in a re- ! cent story, there is no ore to speak | of in the shaft nor is it expected that any will be encountered yet for twen- 1 ty-five or thirty feet at least, but at
 that depth they may strike and pass through a ledge that crops some dis tance away and pitches on an incline other ledges being cut lower down. The work however, is strictly development work and the shaft will be sunk to
 a depth of TOO feet before any effort will be made to develop the ore bodies. then levels will be run and the ore bodies blocked out. About that u-me it lis ev-ected there will be something GOing in the way Icf shelter building. BesiG ss
 the six men locally interested, Messrs Nj. J. Gaipin, A. W. Galpin. N. Golf of Phoenix, Judge Woy. Wint House and MT. Shope of Globe, the company con Isists of two Boston gentlemen. AIessrs i Woodward and Phillips, president and treasurer respectively, who are fur
 :i>' 'ng the shows Of war. Thee is
 no stock for sale and plenty of money
 lavaiiable for development and smelteI
 building.
 The plan here outlined. that of de- veloping entirely, removing only such ore as may be encountered in the sinking of the double compartment shaft. indicates the greatest confidence in the property but there is nothing blind a,5olj it for the development O the lI0poI ties or the four surround
 ing sides shows practically what is bound to exist in the Iron Cap. On the east and west sides of the group are the Black Rock and Copper Hill groups both owned by the Arizona Commercial company, and both taking out fin, ore which is being reduced at the OlC D"'i0iou smelte-. The levels in tl.
 Copper Hill have been run clear tC the Iron Cap end lines and are in goo ore. Presuma bly, about the first lev els to be run in the Iron Cap will b to connect with the Copper Hill giv ing fine ventilation to both mines These lodges run clear across the TrOr Cap from the Copper Hill 10 the BlacI ! Rock. or at least they are found a depth on each of the adjoining prop critics. which makes their contiuu0u s ! existence almost a mathematical cer
 tainty. On the south is the Buckeye 2 property, from which is being takeI
 ore that runs 9 per cent copper an' from S20 to S1c0 in gold. on a ledge tha l pitches into the Iron Cap ground. Or the north is the Brd group. which wa recently bought by the Calumet an,
