developments underground ON either
side Of the ground in which the new
shaft IS going down. Shattuck Al,
izona is still talking smelter. but has
not yet completed arrangements foa
one. II has some very rich ore, ant
should be converting it into copper.
Calumet & Arizona is operating III
n very quiet way underground, is taxi
ing all Of the low grade ore material
met with, and is extending present
ore drifts and other openings in con-
sentative manner. The showing of orr
reserves in the mine never lookeo
better. Indeed, the amount now de-
veloped is larger than at any other
time in the property's History.
At the Hoatson shaft of Superior &
Pittsburg the 1300-foot level continues
to show up very we'll In addition
to this, new ore is being found on the
1100-foot level. Drifts are being open
ed on the 1400-foot level. and they
will soon be ready 10 begin drifting
on the l500-foot level From this II
will be seen that Mr.. Powell is getting
the m ners well down in the rocks, ana
is after the big ore deposit found re.
At the Junction on the 1400-foot
level, Junction shaft sulphide ore is
now beng cut, ana a drift has beer;
recently started south from the shaft
the intention being TO try TO find q
continuation OF the big new deposit II
the Hcatson shaft.
: The new pump station being madf
at the 1500-foot will soon be finished
and with the work done, drifting will
! be started on that level OF the June
= ton. This level should prove q gooo
one N the light of what is being shown
at similar geological depth in the
: Hoatson shaft. Junction has a fine
territory, and it will be remembered
THAT Denn-Arizona found ore of high
| grade to the east, in which direction
Junction as yet has done very little
in the way of opening the ground.
The Briggs shaft, with the water
out of this opening, there will be &C
tive opening of the territory surround

occupies location upon as very fav

being needed.
Altogether the Superior & Pittsburi
land Junction present an appearance
underground that is pleasing TO tn
management of these properties. Tn
