Double Compartment Shaft Soon To
 Be Sunk
Ground To Be Developed On A Large
 Scale
From Saturdsy's Daily.)

"We have opened up our ledge on ,be surface, in some places to depth of forty feet, in eight different places, in every one of which we have ore with assay values reaching from SIS to .lgG." said W. II. Reitcrman, sccre. tary and general manager of the Money Metals Mining company, to Journal. Miner man last evening, after arriving here from his mining camp in the Black Hills section.
 "Our new boarding house and other buildings are all about finished,' he continued, "and we are going, from now on. we will confne our efforts to the sinking of our new double compart- mrnt shaft, which is now down to n depth of forty feet, showing a vein cf ore two feet and seven inches in thick h,ss. which samples from SIS to s20 to the ton on the average in copper and silver X carload of mining timbers arrived few days ago. and everything is in readiness to push the work to good advantage. In another shaft, which is down to depth of go feet, We found nice vein of ore which assays as high as $l26 to the ton in copper. lead and silver, but the ore streak IS not as large as the one on which we are sinking the other shaft"
 Continuing further he said that the claims of his company extended along dioritc schist dyke. which traverses the country in northerly and south erly direction between n granite for nation on the east, and slate or the west. This dyke is in some places 300 feet in width, and the ore i' found in veins or stringers in different parts of the lead on the surface, an' widening out at times into deposits o' considerable extent.

NO SHEEP sHEARING AT C0RDEs
 THIS YEAR.
(From Fridays Daily)

"I do not think that any of the large hocks of sheep that are annually driven through this county to the Coconino and Apache ranges will be sheared this season at Cordes,' said II. J. Gray to n Journal Miner representative last cv- oning as he stepped from the south bound Diamond 10, on which he was a passenger to Phoenix.
 "There arc,' he continued "about 100000 head of sheep now being shear ed at Benrdsley, and about the same number at Houek's station oh Cave creek by machines, and l know of nc shcaring being done in the southern part of the territory by hand this year except at Peoria, n short distance north of Phoenix, and there arc only about 1 300 sheep in that band"
 When asked if there would be as large 9 number of sheep pass through tho ranges of this county this season as 1T former years. he said that he did no think there would be, for the reason that q number of the sheep rsisers o Apache and Navajo counties did no drive their focks south last fall on ac count of the feed being better on thei ranges than formerly, and also that very large number of sheep were ship ped and sold in eastern markets afte shcaring time last summer and fall O account of the high prices offered.
 He also stated that mutton was sti commanding n good price on the easter markets, and that sheep on the range found q ready market at from $6 A7.5O per head, and that eastern bu, CTS had already contracted for tl purchase of large amount of th years clip at prices ranging from Co % cents.
 The fact of the matter is, he explai cd, there are hardly any sheep left the Arizona ranges at the present tin except ewes; the wethers having abo ! all been sold.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN NEW COPPER
 COUNTRY.
(From Fridays Daily.)

VI note a very much improved con. dition of affairs in the new copper country since traffic was opened up as far as Wendcndale on the Arizona and California railroad," said Ben Blancb- ard, who just returned from that sec. tion, where he has valuable mining in. terests, to Journal.Miner man yestcr. day.
 Two can get our hauling done to Wendendalc now for s2O ton, when it formerly cost us $50 to Yucca," he continued, "and when the road is com. pleted as far as Bouses' Wells, which is only twelve miles distant from what we call our west camp, the cost will be a great deal less. It is certainly great country, and the completion of the railroad through it. insuring reasonable transportation rates, will assist the min. CTS and companies operating there, and enable them to open 1t up in good shape"
 Ii was learned from Mir. Blanchard that the shaft on his Orc Fino mine which had such n rich showing of gold and copper ore. was now down to q depth of over loo feet, and that q crosscut had been run on the vein foI D distance of 1j feet, which was al in ore of very good grade. The com panies operating under his manage ment have altogether eight shafts sunk to depth of 100 feet or more, anc about the same number of shafts sunl to depths ranging from 90 to 70 feet all with good showing.
