RoATSoN SHAFT IN ORE.
(Iron Ore.l


 Capt James Hoatson was in Ish- peming Saturday attending . meeting of the Chiricahau Development com pany and making arrangements for the future operation of tho claim of this organization. The company has sunk a shaft, found miner3i ar1 have recently been doing ve-y little pending ertain land deals under way. They have not discovered a mine as yet, and do not claim to have. Theirs is only a prospect searching for copper with some favorable indications that may lead to commercially profitable deposits. This has yet to be worked put,
 Capt. Hoatson has great faith in the Bonanza Circle group located at Bis bee. Arizona. It was he who first started the Calumet & Arizona enter prise, a concern that has made won dsfful showing in copper circles and has made many fortunes for those who l first engaged in the enterprise and re- ma!ned with it through its prospecting period. He is miner skilled iE cop per formations. He was fnr dozen years at Butte where copper ores are the principal output of lis great camp. He had previously recetvcl an excellent training in the Lake Supe- Tior copTer mines, and vas perfectly at home with mining in al it's forms and branches. He was at 'ac,ed 10 Bisbee or account Of what the Copper Queen company were doing. He be- liieved, after looking over conditions at that place, that there were other mines to be found, md, desircus of getting as close to the proven area as possible, he dealt wi;h Mr. Costello, who owned a favor ibls looking tract close to the Czar sh at 0. the Copper lQueen company. The story Of this transaction has been told many tunes and so well circulated that there is no need of repeating i: hc-s, but the cartain's analyses of Ihs rocks cf that lparticular section p.oge1 correct as numerous very healthy diyidenis is, and q surplus in the cornpanys treasury of about four millions dollars at this writing testify.
 After Calumet & A-izo:ia Iad been well started Capt. Hoatson and E's Associates loked about for other lands. That tract which is now a portion Of Superior t Pittsburg and formerly tCalumet & PittsbuFg was obtained at la very reasonable. price. In Capt. f1OdISOu Diiuu tiidi WdS IiiS hcAt bCot selection. It was close up to good things, the Copper Queen having work ,ings only short distance away, and lit seemed to be in line with the trend lof the coprer-5earing formation as marked by the operations of the active companies of the camp.
 The original shafts sunk met a great flow of water At least it was great for BisEee. The pumping was a long job as new equipment had to
 be procured. It took some time and money to get the engines and to re duce the water flow A second shaft
 known as the Hoatson was started
 near the Lowell of Copper Queen on
 the Del Norte claim. This shaft is
 now in solid ore of the very finest
 grade.
 Whether there was anything in its
 name to make it a success we do not insist upon, but it is today looked up on as one of the most promising oi all the Bonanza Circle group, this noi

 zona.
 Iron Ore takes a little qualification 1 in the fact, because it has always In sisted that this would be one of the
 most valuable of the properties em
 braced in the consolidation. That
 Capt. Hoatson is pleased because oi
 the finding of ore in this particular
 opening is certain He does not hes litate to say that it will make fine
 mine. He is content to let the diyi
