RESEMBLES ARIZONA.
The Nevada Douglas ore deposits ro-
semble in many respects those char
uctcrstic OF some OF the big copper
producers of Ari2ona ana Etftklng
feature about them rs the amount OF
carbonate ores, In which instead Of be-
ing merely superficial has been found
to exist 10 dapth of LOO feet In an
adjoining property and to $50 feet
depth IN the Nevada Douglas ground
proper, with no indication of the de-
posits giving out at chat depth ur tho
value of the ore diminishing Another
feature The ore Is unusually homo
geuiuus, foE on breaking piece OF
Il the fact Is disclosed that the values
are Wcll dis amnatcd throughout
VIGOROUS DEVELOPMENT.
The company has carried on con-
tnuous campaign Of development for
the past six months and contomplatos
operating in the future upon very
broad scale. orders have been plac-
ed for extensive mine equipment which
viii be installed soon after the begin
ming OF the new year 1907. 4 railroad
to the mine will no doubt be con-
structed to the mine next year, by
which time plans for the install latlon
of treatment facilities viii have been
matured
Last year Mr.. Miller the locator of
the ground, shipped 1900 tons Of ore
from the Douglas mine which aver.
aged better than l3 per cent copper.
