The Live Oak mine, which has ad vanced rapidly during the past few months to a position among the large producing copper mines of Globe dis trict, has now reached a point where machinery is required for its luther successful development and operation, and Supt. J. C. Erman informs us that a first-class equipment has been or dered, consisting of a double drum 10X14, steam hoist, two 100-horse power boilers, Sullivan power drills and compressor of $50 cubic feet ca pacity, and a complete outfit of power pipe cutters, drill presses and timber framing machines
 The development of the property is going ahead. The double compart- ment shaft is down 150 feet and a sta tion has been cut at 120 feet. The lower sulphide tunnel is in 6s5 feet, ard for the last 125 feet in ledge mat ter carrying numerous seams of cop Der glance, identical with the vein formation in the Inspiration mine ad- jaeent to it. This tunnel will be driven about 76o feet further to inter sect the shaft at the 2S0 foot level. All the ore being shipped is coming from the silicate tunnel, which will be the first level of the mine. This ore body is of immense proportions, having been proven up for distance of 200 feet on the dip. 150 feet above the tunnel by upraises. and for 50 feet beneath by winzes and interme- diate levels. The stope in the tunnel is at present 40 feet wide ana the ore is clean and nearly all of good shipping quality.
 Ore has been shipped to the Fl Paso and Douglas smelters, but near ly all of it is now going to the Old Dominion, and averages five cars, or 15O tons. per day. There are about 900 men on the Live Oak payroll and more than 40 teams are employed hauling ore.
 r. A. Woodward of the National Mining Exploration Company that has undertaken the development of the Iron Cap property. returned lasl Thursday from a trip to Pinal County and 10 Phoenix. Mir. Woodward vii s remain here until the machinery CT ] slered for the Iron Cap is installed.
 Manager Faull informs us that the 1I5-foot shaft at the Globe & Pinto mines is now all in ore at the bottom and that the dump is growing quite perceptibly. Nearly the entire output is a good shipping product in the val ues of copper, gold and silver. Three men are employed now, and this force will be increased when there is room
 Conditions at the Copper Hill and Black Hawk mines Of the Arizona Commercial Copper Company are highly satisfactory. Shaft sinking is in progress at both mines and alsc = considerable development work or the several levels of the Copper Hill Shipments of ore have gradually in creased. and a night shift has beel put on delivering ore to the Old DO ninion, which company is now takini 1CO tons of sulphide ore daily iron the Copper Hill mine. Shipments o siiicious ores to Douglas $and Can anea have also been increased and arS now at the rate of 45 cars per month
 Professor Blake has been working in the museum at the University oi Arizona for the past two months ar ranging and classifying the mineral exhibits geographically Each county Of the territory is represented separ sSately by the ores from many Of it's principal mines. Prof. Blake would be glad to have all miners of the ger ritory and mining companies send samples of their ores that the coliec' ton may be kept complete. The Arr Zona mineral collection at the ST Louis fair is to be divided with the university and Phoenix.
 The Inspiration Mining Company put force of miners at work today taking out ore. and commenced ship ping 10 the Old Dominion smelter There are about 500 tons of glance ore on the du1ps. and the mine is capable Of considerable production. General Manager J. D. Coplen will leave O MOTION morning for Kansas City Mo, to confer with other officers oi the company with the view of pro yiding for the erection at the mine of concentrating and teaching works The Inspiration is one of the great mining properties of Globe district
