DIFFERENT SHAFTS UNDERG DING VARIOUS IMPROVE MENTs - SEVERAL LARGE ORE BODIES ENcoUN- TERED - OUTLOOK VERY PROMISING FOR THE
 DISTRICT -N NEW COMPANY ORGANIZED.

amount of water has been noted at the Hoatson, for the last thirty days,
 only one hundred gallons per minute | being thrown out. This is done by bailing in the shaft. At the Briggs
 the water has also decreased by sev- eral hundred gallons per minute, less being pumped at this shaft now than at any time during the past year.
 The pumps for the Hoatson are on the ground and work on them will be started this week on the HOO level. They will have a capacity of 500 gal Ions per minute, which will take care of all the water. The new hoist is geared engine will be put in during the week to be used in putting in the pipe work for the pumps.
 At the Shattuck & Arizona the work Of enlarging the shaft is being hurried along by three shifts and will be fin ished about the last of May. The new
 Corliss first motion hoist is on the road and will be installed as soon as possible.
 The aerial tramway will arrive the latter part of May and will be put ln operation at once. The entire new equipment will be ready for use about
 July l. Over one thousand tons of ere have been shipped up to date which show an average value of g per cent in copper. Commencing
 with August 1, daily shipments will
 be made putting the Shattuck & Ari- ZOnt among the producing properties l in the Warren district. . The Denn-Arizona property shows large increase in the development work. Diamond drills lave been in operation for some time past and have run through several ore bodies. They are drifting on the 1,000-foot level in a southeast direction towards
 the diamond-drill hole put down last year. A body of ore was struck here about coo feet from the shaIt ana
 will be reached by the drift in about | two months.
 l A drift has also been started to- wards the north to cut the dividend
 fault lying about 500 feet distant It | is thought that ore will be encounter | ed in this drift also.
 lfA The pumping station on the 1000 i level has been finished and the pumps
 will be installed at once. Two pumps
 with a capacity of 1000 gallons per minute, have arrived and two more,
 with the same capacity, will be on
 hand by July l. The pipe columns
 are in the shaft and the boiler plant
 has been put in, so as soon as the
 pumps are in, the plant will be ready
 for pumping, which will be in about | a weeks time.
 Seventy-five men are employed in three shifts at present and more will
 be put. on.
 The Cochise shaft is down 40 feet
 and the drift from the third level has
 been driven $50 feet. The forma- | ton in the drift is constantly chang ! ing to softer one, containing more
 naturalization as the drift progresses I The last round of holes encountered
 water seepage which is good in- | dication. Last month an average of | f20 feet was reached. which is high rate of speed in drifting. % In the bottom of the shaft the ore found recently has been passed, but l change in the formation Is looked
 for which will show good results.
 The North Bisbee Development Con- pany is the name of a new mining company, organized during the past week for development work on a num-
 Der of mining claims lying northwest of Bisbee. The ground owned by the company comprises eleven claims ad- joining the Mountain View property | and development work on a small scale has been carried on for some time past. This work has brought to light some very promising ore in a teEfoot shaft, where the vein IS rom te nto fifteen feet wide The whole property shows surface ore that will assay a high copper value and 1t is expected by the company to be ship
 ping some ore within the next three
 months. E. H. Clark Is in charge of the development work and will start force of men on a shaft in week
 or ten days time.
 The officers of the company are:
 H. s. Jones, president; w. E. Dacis, yicepresident; E. H. Clark, treasurer; Oscar Zapf, secretary, and the G-rec-
 tors of the comrany are H. s. Jones, CCnnard Smith and Frank Daniels.
