Enthusiastic Over The Arizona Gold Lode
 Co. Mines
Extensive Development Plan Will Be
 Inaugurated
(From Saturdays Daily.)

n Denver mining engineer, over the re suits of m expert examination mad' of the properties of the Arizona 6old Lode Mine, company, in the Cherry Creek district. in which hc has been engaged for the past week. that b"for' hc left here yesterday for Chicago, h' wired his associates that the property was all right from every standpoint and that he found it better than repre- scntcd.
 He expressed himself as being aston i.hcd at ,ht ;inioun' of development done m ihc different claims for inc amount expended and stated that there wls more than enough ore alrcady| blocked out and in sight to pay for all expenditures made on the claims, and the equipment on inc ground. This conclusion had been reached. hc said. after actual measurement and careful calculation of the tonnage of the ore bodies opened, only the lowest sample values being taken into consideration.
 AS a result of his examination of the properties the plan of development agreed upon. subject io his favorable report, will he inauguratcd at m early date. and R. IT. Burmistcr, president and general manager of the company, is authority for the statement that forty more miners will be added to the force now employed within the next two weeks. Sinking on the Lcghorn shaft. now 3GS feet deep, will bc | pushed until the l,000.fOot level is reached, and stations cut at every l00-foot level, from which drifts will be run on the vein. In the bttoom of this shaft there is now two feet of ore and the paystrcak at different depths has widcncd out in places to five and even six feet.
 A hoist will be installed at the Gold Lode shaft, now 2l4 feet deep. and sinking continued to the 50Ofoot level. Levels will Dc run from each 100. foot station and the vein will bc thor. oughly explored by cross cuts.
 The 520.foot tunnel on the Bugler vein will be continued through the mountain an additional distance of l.2O0 feet, and a 5O.foot winzc in this tunnel, in which there is a body of ore exposed four feet in thickness, will be continued down 900 feet more, where 1t is expected the water level will be reached. In the Bug,cr tunnel the orc body shows an average thick. ness of three feet, tho ore carrying good values in gold.
 In addition 10 the equipment, which now consists of hoist on the Leg. horn shaft. and l0.s,amp mill with four Frue.Vanncr cOpcentrators, new Wilfley tables will be added to the concentrating part of the plant and tho boilers will be fitted with oil burners it being the intention to disconiinu, the use of cordwood for fuel. Addi tional teams will be employed to haul ore from the different mines in tn, group to the mill, which will be kcp, on steady run, day and night, in stead of one shift, as is now the prac tice.
 The examination of the expert, Dick inson, developed the fact that the gol, and silver values in the ores show , decided increase as depth is gained and the discovery was made that whil, none of the surface ores showed m, copper values worthy of considcratio, there is now good copper percentage in the ores from the lower levels.
 The eompany's holdings, consistin, of fifteen claims, arc located about six , teen miles east of Dewey, the nearcs railroad station on the Bradshaw Noun tain railroad.
