 As a result of the development of its properties in the Cherry creek dis trict during the past six months, the Arizona Gold Lode Mines company has now under consideration plans for doubling inc capacity of the ten stamp mill and concentrating plant now on the ground, the addition of n cyanide plant, and the substitution of oil as fuel in the power plant. Estimates for these improvements as well as others have already been secured from manu- facturcrs and mechanical engineers, and the company is having a test made of it's different characters of ores in Denver, with a view of installing the character of machinery best suited for the economic reduction of its ores.
 The inauguration of these improve. ments and the placing of the new ma. cbinery will be commenced at an early date, according to the statements of R. II. Burmistcr, president and gen. eral manager of the concern, and Dr. ]. W. Powell, of Roscdale. Wis, \ di. rector Of the company, who returned yesterday from the company's camp, where they made n thorough examina. ton of the work being carried on there as well as perfecting plans for the inauguration of the work.
 "we are more than pleased with the condition of our mines,' said Mir. Burmister, " the values in the ores and the size of the paystreaks appear. ing to improve with every foot of depth gained.
 "The shaft on the Leghorn claim is now down to a depth of 34o feet, the paystrcak in the bottom averag' ing over 2 feet in thickness, while the ledge shows width between walls of almost c feet. The paystreak ha, been continuous from the surface without a break. while the gold and silver values in the orc has shown { decided increase. Ore of high grade is being mined from all three levels run from this shaft, and within th' past few days, while sinking a stump h the 330 foot level 2 foot body of sul phde orc was uncovered which is yer, rich in gold and silver values. h all of the openings from this shaft thu l LA.l h.a sAnx stronger in the face of some of th
 drifts than at the shaft. The or
 bodies are followed by a streak Q tale on the hanging wall side and h. mud streak along the footwai
 which makes the ground easily mined
 A force of men are now engaged II
 making upraises connecting the dii ferent levels so that the mine will D in good shape for the employment of n
 increased force as soon as the new ms chinery is installed in the mill, the C,
 anide plant finished and in running o'

 "On the Gold Lode claim the shaf is sunk to a depth of 2I4 feet, wit
 bodies exposed in all three of the le' els showing n thickness of { feet U the north drift from the 60 foot leve
 All of the ore bins at this mine a' now filled. and there is large amour
 of ore already mined and ready to ! " treated as soon as the mill is enlarge
 and the other improvements mad '' Some ore has been encountered carr. r. ing values in copper as high as 7.l 1T per cent, In addition to the usual go e and silver values.'

The imm '' diate vicinity of the camp is eover' '' by a heavy growth of pine. from whi' IT mining timbers can be secured at n ' minaI cost, while the water supply L. ample for all reduction and domc h lie purDOsce,
