President of Company Interviewed at Houghton, Mich, on Return from Globe-Thinks Mines Will Be Second to the old Dominion.

On his return to Calumet, Mich, from Globe, President Chynoweth of the Su- perior & Boston was interviewed by a Mining Gazette reporter. In the course of the interview he stated:
 "I believe that the Superior & Bos- ten with proper development will be- come mine second only to Old Do minion in the Globe camp" said Cap tain Chynoweth in commenting upon the former company. Considering the short time which has elapsed since Lake Superior interests secured control of the property an excellent record has been made. We propose to do even bet ter in the future, and to so do we have increased our force and will continue to as rapidly as the work will permit.
 "The company owns property GOV ering 75s acres, every foot of which carries the underlay of the various faults which have been opened up in the camp and from which rich ores are being shipped daily.
 "0ur equipment is complete for inn mediate purposes. A new fre-drill com pressor has been installed on the Great Eastern claim. We have a boarding house 50 by 20 feet; bu k house 20 by 32 feet; and stables. the Limestone work has been slightly delayed through the failure of gasoline hoisting engine to arrive when expected. A pony en- zine has been installed to operate in the drifts at the Black Oxide in sink ing the winze The other equipment is also sufficient to meet our needs for some time to come.
 "When the Superior & Boston secured the Black Oxide claim prospectors had driven tunnel into the hillside 420 feet. We took up the work where it was discontinued and continued the tunnel to point 642 feet from the DOT tai, intersecting the fault known as the Buckeye or Black Oxide from the claim where it is located. A seam of ore which l had assayed showed l2.37 per cent copper, while the entire lode show. ed an excess of iron giving an addi- tional value of about $2.50 per ton. The character of the ore was such that there is every indication that richer ground will be opened up with depth.
 ''While at Globe we started cross was looking exceedingly well when I left, April 25. I have since heard from the mine that the ground continues to improve and as soon as a small engine shall be installed will order a winze sunk. In this l believe we will strike rich ores, for we are only sixty feet above the workings of the Old Domin. ions Buckeye claim where the fine ground is being broken. The Old Do minion is shipping from this Buckeye shaft at a depth of 200 feet, ores which assay from , to l6 per cent The ore comes from a point about fourteen feet from our line.
 North of the Black Oxide is the Limestone claim, also owned by the Superior & Boston company. A shaft is now down about 100 feet and has encountered the same characteristic as the other lodes in the Globe district.
 "When we attain a depth of about l50 feet we plan to extend drifts both east and west on the course of the fault.
 "When our company secured the Great Eastern claim, continued Presi- dent Chynoweth, "there was prospect  ing shaft sunk about eighty-fve feet. A short erosscut had been extended to intercept the Black Hawk fault of the Arizona Commercial property, and it was found to be sixteen feet in width, carrying copper values assaying about } per cent with an excess of iron.
 "We determined to continue work at this point and sunk shaft l62 feet deep. We started crosscut at this point and intercepted large iron and copper deposit, over thirty feet in width. This was split, the west branch being eighteen feet thick. This deposit undoubtedly will grow with depth, for it has been proven already to increase aft
