and a level pushed east to determine
 the course of the Blackhawk lead. This
 level will be extended for a distance of between 700 and 500 feet and the course of the big vein once located We will know exactly where Co sink our main working shaft This shaft will
 be modern three compartment shaft. fully equipped with modern machinery. Our reason for ascertaining the direc- ton of the Blackhawk fault before
 sinking the main shaft is that We may be spared all of the unnecessary ex-
 pense which would be incurred if We located a shaft without first knowing the course of the Biackhawk fault and were thereby compelled 10 crosscut for an unknown distance.
 "On the Limestone the smart. which Is now down sixty mine feet and bot toned in an per cent carbonate ore.
 will be sunk to an indefinite depth and explored from the bottom. This claim is directly south of and parallel to the Great Eastern one claim intervening There is an independent fault on the Limestone between lime and iron and I believe that further exploration will reveal large ore bodies in the vicinity.
 'The showing on the Black oxide claim more than favorably impressed me and I think that this will be one of the most valuable properties of the company. The principal working or the claim is a tunnel which has been driven 10 distance of 40 feet and this will be extended to a further distance of 125 to 15O feet at once. We believe that at this distance the Buckeye fault will be encountered. This fault has al- ready been opened to a considerable extent on. several claims Of the old Do- minion company and ! am informed by q reliable authority that nearly a mill lion dollars worth of ore has been shipped to the smclter frcm these claims alone.
 As to the outlook for the future I can say confidently that it could not be brighter. With excellent transportation facilities which we will have on the of the Arizona Commercial railroad, which will b, ing trains within seventy feet of our Great Eastern shaft. with experienced mining men in charge of the work. and. above all. the splendid shOwings on the various claims. 1 would ask for nothing better to make a most successful group of mines. Great ore bodies exist on ad- iacent properties and there is no geo logical reason why they should not on our property. and one Of lur group. the Great Eastern. has been proven to a depth of 800 feet by the the shaft of which is the oss of a coin distant from the Great | Eastern shaft.
