THE LEADv|LLE
CAMP LOOKS
PROSPEROUS
Parties Coming In From There
State There Is Renewed Ac-
tiyity In That Section-lm-
provementS Under Way.

Parties coming in from the Lead
Vile camp near Gleason state that
there is renewed activity in that sec
ton and that there are at present
more men at work than at any tilIie
for a number of years. Machinery is
being installed and new boilers and
compressors are on the way to fur
Their add to the equipment of the
Calumet & Arizona company. Yes
terday some ten additional miners
were put to work on one of the new
shafts on the Casey property on
which work had been suspended Tor
a short time pending the installation
of new machinery. On this property
the company now has four different
shafts in operation and the work Oi
development is being rushed as rapid
ly as possible This is the property
that the Calumet & Arizona inter
ests recently secured an extension or
time on from Martin Costello, and
have from now until the middle OF
September before another payment Is
to be made, which then calls for
a payment d 5000. II is the IN
tention of the company to have fully
determined the extent Of the ore
bodies in the mines before thai time
so as to decide whether or not it VIII
Justify the payment.
On the Cowan property which was
bonded by the Calumet & Arizona in
terests a few weeks since for $4,000
on which a payment of $500 was
made, the company row has two
shafts in operation and have ordered
two SO-horse power marine boilers to
be placed on the property TO furnish
additional power. In this property the
company has already opened up an
extensive body of carbonate ore SINH
lar to that which was encountered
in the Leadyille group proper mat
was under bond a few months since
by the Calumet & Arizona, but
which was allowed to lapse on &C
count Of the owners refusing to give
an extension OF time on the bond IL
is stated, however, that there is still
some hopes of an agreement being
made whereby the property will
again be taken over under bond by
the same parties and negotiations TO
that end are now in progress. In the
event that this does not materiatiZe
Mr.. Holmes, president of the Leadyille
company has given out the statement
that they will operate the property
themselves.
At the Great Western property IN
der the direction Of Superintendent
W. G. Manwarriug, the company has
already started work on two ncT
shafts and is at work in cleaning
out the old one. The company has
Just completed the work of erecting
a number Of buildings, including an
Office. boarding house and number
of small cabins for the use of the
miners.
On the Casey property jIe Calu-
met G Arizona have recently built a
number OF buildings for the use of
the company and for the men in their
employ. A telephone line to connect
with the line of the Tombstone com
panies will then have communication
with the outside via Gleason.
The outlook for the De2dville dis
trict is very encouraging and 1t IS
the opinion of many that within six
months there will be at least 500
men at work in the various mines IN
that locality. The formation is very
similar to that of the Warren district
and the ore so far developed lies
in large bodies. A survey of the rail
road from Pearce to Douglas goes
within a few miles OF the camp anu
it is expected that in event it Is
built the line will be changed so as
to include Leadyille on the line TO
Douglas. A spur could easily be
built to the various shafts from the
point of the mountain wherein all
probability a new townsite will be
located
