 Geo. H. Hewitt, editor of Iron Ore, published at lshpeming, Michigan, ac companied the Cole-Ryan-Greene par ty on the recent trip to Cananea. The following is the first article from his pen concerning conditions as he found them in this section of the mining world:
 Calumet and Arizona.
 The Ohver shaft of this company has today 35 drifts in ore. and ore of very high grade, running from to 30 per cent, and averaging as rich as the phenomenal deposits in the Irish Mag claim of this company.
 There Is being mined from the oli- yer about 400 tcns daily and about like amount from the Irish Mag. You may have heard the Irish Mag was about ready to So out of commission. as its ores were practically exhausted. The report was not true as this DOT ton of the mine has much more ore exposed today than was to be seen 0 year ago. The daily tonnage proves 1t.
 The Oliver shaft ore is coming principally from opening drifts and is showing on every claim thus far pene- trated by drifts and a very important find of rich sulphide was made 375 feet northwest of the shaft in cross cut on the 11th level the day we were underground.
 It should be remembered that all the millions taken from the Irish Mag were mined from one small claim, which is still producing a lot of cop per. The Oliver shaft Is opening a tract six times as large and fully as rich as the Mag.
 Rich Ores Not Being Taken. We can say to you, also, that the rich oxide stopes are being left prac- ucally untouched, and there is a big area of these very high values. They are awaiting the development of the I sulphide zones, which are rapidly be- ing developed, the Oliver being proli. [ fic in them, but with the oxides still l predominating because sufficient | depth has not been gained to reach 1 the levels where the ores of this class ! are more prominent. There have ] been oxides enough proved on one lev el in the Oliver to supply the needs of the present smelter for five years. And it should be understood that the | first level does not as yet begin to cover all of the area of the claims tributary to this shaft.
 A Very Low Cost.
 We can tell you. too, that Calumet and Arizona's copper cost is lower than ever and this despite a big wage increase, as well as the paying of a heavy construction account. Quite naturally the earnings are enormous i,, zF Ifxri dends that are being paid.
 We will tell you much more about it upon our return and after all our data has been obtained.
 | We simply wish to advise you to hold your stock and to say to you that it is easily worth $250 per share It's annual statement will probably present figures to support us in this
 advice.
 It is a wonderful mine, bonanza
 in all the naJue implies, and as we
 have told you bigger and better than lever. You will be surprised at its
 figures of production, it's cost for mak.
 ing the pound of copper, and the non'
 ey it earned last year, by all odds the
 best in it's history.
 superior-Pittsburg Looks We'll. You will be pleased to know that the Pittsburg and Duluth portion ot this property has made a great gain
 1n the past few months. You have heard little of 1t, but the fact is that
 splendid bodies of rich oxides have
 been found and the product is going
 into the smelters. The P. and D. is making money. We will tell you more about this soon, but we wish to tel you it looks good and better than ev CT. This property has large bodies ot
 low-grade sulphides and now they caT be nicely worked with the rich OK
 ides recently found.
 An Important Discovery.
 The Denn-Arizona people have , found what looks like a big body ot , oxide ore on their triangle claim. |
 you will look at your map of the Bo
 nanza Circle group you will see tha
 this claim adjoips the Maid of tho
 Mist claim of the Junction portion O.
 Superior and Flttsburg. The strike i! : only about POO feet from this June ton claim. The Denn people seem tC : be on top of the ore body and we saw samples that would give IS per cen
 copper and very heavy with iron. You will readily grasp the import ance of this find if you will draw { line between the Junction shaft on thu , Waddell claim to the line dividing tht
 function and Dem, you will see ths the distance is more than 2,000 feet l a the recent discovery proves al ] tH8 Intervening space to be mineral t ized territory, a great addition to for mer proved areas, as we consider thii new ore body to practically decide
 that all this fine field will hold ore de 5 posits of great value. Junction shaf f has proved ore of excellent grade. l 3 is to be sunk another level as vii the Briggs shaft of the Calumet anC
 Pittsburg. of this group.
 The Hoatson shaft is showing gooC | values and another level will surel! r exhibit the continuation of the Lowel deposit. one of the biggest ever founC f in the Bisbee basin.
