Bio Ore Bodq On Iron.

The sinking of the shaft on the Pc
wabic property is we'll under way. Two
air drills are being used and the shaft is
Gx12 feet in the clear. Rapid progress
is being made, forty feet having been
sunk during the past ten days, which is
good record considering the fact that
the drilling is being done in couStry
rock and only one shift is working.
The Iron mine, another Of the Pewabic
company's properties. continues to keep
up its good record Of production Of eight
cars OF ore day, Of the usual fair grade.
In the 800 west level, Manager Fleusch-
hutz states, the ore body which he has
been driving for has been struck, and is
beyond doubt the same that has been
worked out before IN the upper levels.
This is big pocket, about 200 feet in
length, and the ore gives higher values
than the average. 1t contains iron and
copper sulphides OF soft nature, which
makes it very easy to mine. The ore
shows free gold very literally in the pan.

Good Streak In kemp.CaIhoun.

The lifting of the water on the Kemp
Calhoun, which was started on the 10th
OF this month, is about completed. Water
was up to the 20Ofoot level and is now
down to the 400. About fifty feet more
will have to be raised before the bottom
of the shaft is reached. Three levels
above the 400 point have been cleared
and track laid and lessees are now COM
mencing to work. Welch & Co., who
have lease on the 250-foot level, and
who just started working few days
ago. have already opened up a good look
ing streak. Former lessees, working
across the shaft from Welch e. Co., took
out high-grade ore which gave returns
OF $4,000 to the ton. George McGregor,
a capable mining man, who has charge
OF the Kemp Calhoun, claims that as
soon as the mine is drained he will be
able to accommodate ten sets OF lessees.
