GOOD SUlPH|DES
At 18TH LEVEL
OF GEM MINE
Great Progress Made In
Developing Orphan
Property

GLOBE. Oct 2.-Prohably no mine
IA Globe district has shown greater i'm
provcment in the past month than
Globe Consolidated has, and yestcr.
days news Of tho developments in
that property was the best that mas
yet been given out.
Manager Mccarthy says that tho
Gem vein in the west drift, 18th level.
has widoncd to five feet Of good ore,
the stratum Of chalcopyrite carried by
the vein and which nj first was quite
small, having spread until now il al
most fills the vein. Assay returns from
sample Of the ore taken from the
drift on Monday show il to be sui
phide of an excellent quality, carrying
90 per cent copper, 81 per cent iron,
and 80 per cent sulphur. The improve.
ment in the vein as the drift advanced
has been quite rapid. and IL is not un.
likely that the values may continue
10 increase.
The success of Globe Consolidated
now seems 10 he assured. A mineral
lied zone 200 feet wide on the Gem
claim is being exposed, and two sui
phide veins Of great promise have been
opened for more than n thousand feet
IN length. The Future Copper vein
is about eight feet wide and is ship
ping ore, while the Gem vein from
present Indications will prove very pro
iitable 10 mine.
The ore developments in the GEN
mine are of great importance to III,
camp.
the main shaft has reached 200 feet
in depth. At lSj feet the dip Of IA,
I vein carried il out of the shaft ant

B he again cut in sinking. At $50 feet
a station will he cut and n crosscut ruI
to cut the Iron Lode vein.
The machinery Is working smoothly
and three shifts of four men each are
driving the shaft down nj the rate o
about forty feet per week.
No stop will be made except 10 en-
I the $50 foot station, until the 500 i
reached, when crosscut will be start
ed 10 cut the big schist belt on ih'
south. This crosscut will cut four wei
defined lodges and considerable is ex
pectcd Of this portion of the propose
development.
Further improvement is reported II
the mine of the Pinto Creek Mimi,
a Smelling Company. The deep tun
mel which has been driven far into TIT
mountain, and has been in ledge mat
ter for some distance, is now openinl
ground that shows increasing mineral
cation. Chalcopyrite and peacock cop
per in larger seams are observable II
the face OF the tunnel. The formation
however, il undergoing still create
improvement AS IL nearly all show
heavy green copper stain and seems I
be leaving the granite, which leads tn
management TO think that IL IL neal
ing contact that may reveal an or
body.
The improvement is certainly yer
encouraging Superintendent Robt. /.
Reilly, who has been in the east fo
several weeks, is expected to retur
about October 10, and the force q
miners will then be increased and d.
velopment work pushed.

development has been done on d
property. A vein Of sulphide ore
opened by a tunnel li0 feet in lengt
and two feet Of the ore is high grs,
chalcopyrite, assaying about 20 ~
cent copper and sl7 in gold In add
