has been working large force for some
time past developing its mine on the
divide between Pinto and Mineral
creeks, has been amply rewarded for
the energy and good judgment Of
the management by opening up rich ore
in many parts of the mine
The company is now running two
tunnels and five drifts in the main
workings, in all of which high grade
ore has been encountered. The 400-foot
level, the deepest in the mine, is look
ing especially well. Sulphide ore run
ming q per cent copper was struck in
both drifts on this level close to the
shaft, much nearer than ore was found
ON the 3O0-foot level; and this rich ore
continues in the drift and has widened
considerably
In fact, the Gibson mine never showed
so much good sulphide ore before. Ship
ments for October will aggregate up
wards of 2ii0 tons and Manager S. l..
Gibson expects to double shipments
next month.
Superintendent j. C. Britt and AS
sistant Milo w. Porter of the Mitchell
and the Pennsylvania Cananea & Globe
mining companies, have been busily
engaged the past week starting work
on the properties recently acquired by
these companies in the Globe districts.
They have more than 100 men already
at work and have begun important
development work on the Banker,
Schulze and Five Points properties in
this district. HOSTS and other machin-
cry are due to arrive and the number
of workmen employed will soon be con-
siderably increased. The businessike
way in which these companies, of which
George Mitchell is the official head,
commence operation in this district is
certainly gratifying and an earnest of
their faith in the Globe mining field.
The Arizona Commercial Copper
company is working the us al force of
men at the Copper Hill mine, and de-
gelopment work is progressing salts
factorily. The Black Hawk is idle
pending the arrival of boiler shipped
from Denver and now due here. AS
soon as it is installed sinking will be
resumed and the sixth level opened.
The grade for the Arizona CONNER
cial railroad from the Old Dominion
smelter to the Black Hawk mine is
practically finished and also the bents
for seven bridges along the line. Rails
will be obtained from the G. V. G. &
N. R'y Co., as soon as needed. The
only hindrance now 10 the early COM
pletion of the railroad is the difficulty
of getting ties, but it is hoped that the
detention from this cause will not be of
long duration.
Lyman c. Woods, owner of the Cali
fornia group. expects to put force to
work within a day or two, to sink a
shaft on the property, which adjoins
the Big Johnny mine, owned by Phelps,
Dodge & Co. =
The Experimentation Development
company which has working bond
and option on the properties at Troy,
has force of miners at work under

has made contract with the Arizona
company at Humboldt for the
delivery of $1,000 tons of sulphide ore
from the Rather mine of the Troy
Manhattan group. The ore is said to
run 81 per cent copper, 81 in gold. 60
