Dwight E. Woodbridge returned this morning from trip Of several weeks in the Southwest, during which he visited practically ail of the mines and mining districts in winch Duluth. ians are Tn e; csteh. Much 0f his time was spent in and around Bisbee-
 The change in conditions in the Bonanza Circle district since January l." said MT. Woodbridge this morning lis very marked and every week shows an increasing improvement. Mir. Pow ell, the new general manager, has made good beyond all expectations and Is one of the biggest men in the min. ing field who ever went to Arizona as a permanent resident in charge of large properties Ills personality is impressing itself upon the business men, the miners and everyone with whom he comes in contact.
 Mir. Powell has changed the whole method Of underground development and is going after the ore. One drift in the Junction was driven 25S feet in one months time and in leached ore aIl the way. The pittsburg & Du luth has been showing up immensely They started out to follow some string CTS of ore and went into some of tn, richest ore bodies in Bisbee. For {: week before l left there they were ir red oxide of copper running 40 to 50 per cent. This mine has for some reason been regarded as small one by most people, but today it has every appearance of being one of the bi. ones.
 "The Calumet & Pittsburg is being driven into from the Junction drift and work is in progress from d winze near the Briggs shaft. They may get ore at any time for both drifts have been in punches Of ore The water in the Briggs shaft is now down to 1700 gallons minute and the Hoat son shaft is not bothered by water to any extent.
 ''The Calumet & Arizona mine Is showing up greater than ever. Prac. tically all of the mining so far dont has been on five acres of the Irish Max claim They have just struck another fine deposit on the same claim which was entered on the line of the Howell, belonging to the Cop per Queen.
 The Lake Superior & Pittsubrg Is great mine. A fine ore body is now being developed on the l ,000 foot lev el. 700 feet north of the Cole shaft.
 The new Warren shaft is exciting much interest. It was not regarded at nrst as exceptionally promising but had not gone down sar when f ran into some ground that gives 1t the most promising start of any shaft sunk yet. It is located near che north end of the property about I50o feet from the northeast side and not far from the American property. Twt drill holes are being put down.
 The Shattuck has a fine body of very rich ore and Is now considering the building of a smelter. The Denn Arizona is also progressing. Its shaft Is down 1,059 feet, which is lower than the elevation where the ore wa: cut with the drill The shaft seem to be in the same depression in lime stone as the surface shows above, ana is below the horizontal level of tn limestone. They will drive three drifts from the bottom of the shaft A z.ooo gallon pumping plant has beer bought"
 Mir. Woodbridge went to the Black Mountain mine but did not spend very much time there and was not thers when the mill was running. He was there at the time the power plant started up. Everybody there was looking for fine showing.
