PARADISE Record
Though operations on the San ST.
mon, formerly the Chiricahua proper.
ty, are in the nature of required an
nual work, there is activity IN three
different places on the group az az
yantageous points and favorable re.
suits before the end OF the year are
not impossible. II looks as n The
company is not averse to striking ore
while accomplishing assessment work
and the general public is In homes
that ore will be struck and that the
result will be beneficial both TO the
company and to the camp.
One of the two new places where
work is being pursued is not far from
the 300foot incline on the Mars.
which claim is one of the best in the
group. Here a tunnel-just started
is being driven to crosscut the lead.
In the Mars incline referred to there
is ore all the way, running about ~
per cent in copper, and 1t was to in
| teToeist this ore body, at or near the
bottom Of the incline, that the north
drift from the 3S5-foot level of the
Planet shaft was started.
The most extensive work done so
far this year Is on the Planet claim,
between the company's office and the
powerhouse, and directly opposite the
portal of the 750-foot crosscut tunnel.
This is a new workings tnnel now
in about 100 feet. 1t is being driven a
few degrees TO the west OF south to
reach known contact. where ore Is
not unexpected. Two shifts are main
tanned here and the total number of
miners employed by the company at
the present time is ten
During the four years of the COM
pany's operations here work was CEN
tered on the shaft and tunnel on the
Planet, practically no work being
done in other places. And now that
operations are being begun at three
new and advantageous points, pro-
gress will be watched with a great
deal of interest. Operations are not
extensive, to be sure. yet with such
work as there is-to last for three
months, at least-some good results
may be obtained.
Morrow and Chamberlain.
Sinking the Morrow and Chamber
lain shaft has been discontinued for
the present at the l30-foot level and
a crosscut to the south is being run
from the bottom of the shaft Later

High grade ore is expected in both
crosscuts without driving far.
Eureka District.
w. K. Morrow and JACK Cross have
returned to Paradise after completing
the initial work on claims in the Eu-
reka district, New Mexico, in which
they are interested. Ed. P. Stone will
remain there, for the present, pros
pecting and doing a little work on
mining claims. Some of his time will
be spent on a homestead on which he
has filed in the Animas valley near
by, not far from the Maloney ranch
Mr.. Stone contemplates erecting an
adobe house on his ana.
liz a mining way, therefore, there
Is little doing in the Eureka district
Just at present, though that districts
possibilities are spoken of in the high
est terms by all who have seen it,
The ore when found is right on the
surface and some of it of high grade.
At times, too, it looks like it would
develop into a large deposit
Maloney brothers have considerable
ore sacked ready to ship. They are
unable to get it hauled and may have
to use their own teams for that pur-
pose. For some reason they are not
taking out ore at present.
