that the stranger himself might

Arizona Mines

An event of importance has trans pired at the Gem shaft of the Globe Consolidated, says the Globe Silver Belt. It was the striking of the first ore in the shaft. where development work has been in progress for the last eighteen months A two foot vein was broken into and penetrated in two blasts at a distance of 330 feet from the shaft in the north crosscut on the 1900 level. The vein carries a good grade of sulphide ore with a copper value of about four per cent. The iron and sulphur contents are heavy. which makes it a very desirable smelting ore. The crosscut will be continued for a distance of 15G feet, where il is hoped to strike the Future Copper vein. This vein like the one just encountered, which is believed to be the Gem vein was barren on the 800 level but it was about 22 feet wide. Tn view of the recent strike, no doubt exists that a rich body of sulphide ore will be dis closed when the Future Copper is struck.
 A strike of rich copper ore has been made at the iron Cap mine of the Ma

THE LEAOVILLE STRIKE
 IN GLEASON DISTRICT.
New Property Bonded to the C. & A. is Showing up We'll With Develop ment.

From a reliable source it is learned that the recent strike made at the LeadVille camp in the property of the Leadville Mining company. now under bond and option 10 the Calumet & Ar izona people, is one of the largest strikes that has been made in the his tory of the Gleason district and prom ises to disclose one of the. largest bod ies of carbonate ore that has even been opened up in that section of the cOun- try. The ore has been uncovered in what is known as shaft No. 4 This shaft was started recently on one of the claims belonging to the company several hundred yards down the can yon from the other workings. The shaft was started in the lime. and af- ter going through a few feet of that formation the miners opened up a large body of leached ground. About seventy-five feet of this was gone through when the formation changed and went into a soft iron. carbonate formation. About seVenty-five feet of this ore has been gone through in the shaft and the extent of the body has not as yet been reached. A station has been started. and on Saturday three eight-hour shifts were put at work running drifts and cross cuts in all four directions of the compass, so as to determine the extent of the body. During the first days work ten feet was made in each direction, and as yet no sign of a foot or hanging wall has been uncovered. The ore is a soft iron carbonate and will carry from eight to ten per cent copper besides good val ues in gold and silver.
 The bond and option on the property expires about the middle of next month. and it is the intention of the present management to rush the work of determining the extent of the new ore body as much as possible before the time expires. During the past few days over thirty additional miners have been put at work in the shaft in the new drifts. and they will be kept at work until the option expires Douglas Dispatch.

est mining camp in the world within very short time" is the prediction made by O. J. Bose, a prominent min l ing man of that section. owner of the Bose group of claims to the Tucson Star.
 'I have mined all oyer the west. but I never saw as rich a country in my life. The ground is rich. and it is practically solidly ore bearing. Many places it runs to a width of forty feet Not only is the copper there in abun- dance, and not only does it grow rich CT and richer the deeper the shaft goes but it is rich in gold, well up into re- spectacle values. and there are i'm mense deposits of porphyry and iron. The formation is that of sulphides on a granite base.
 The thing which is delaying the de- velOpment of the district is its inac- possibility. But they are now cutting a road through Copper Creek, and it will not be many months until there will be a good wagon way between Pedro and Mammoth
 Mir Bose only a few weeks ago made rich strike on the claim of Julius GOldbaum of this city. and he expects to make the necessary arrangements for its development at once. He made the strike in road that had been travelled in wagons and where there had been some desultory prospecting twenty-five years ago.
 The. Mckenzie people are not doing as much as some of the other inter ests at Mammoth for the reason that they are doing too much top ground ing. The ore there lies deep and the deeper you go the more ore you are sure to find. This company is doing a good deal of surface work and in my opinion are expending their energies to no purpose.
 Temporarily the C. X A. have quit producing, and their stamp mills are now idle, but they expect to open mp some new leads within a short time that will make good. They are not laying off men. but are using them all in the prospect work.
 The Copper Creek are in the very richest ore in the entire district. They are going down deeper all the time and are now at about the 200 level They are taking out great chunks of the red ore, and it seems that the entire group of their claims is one big hulk of copper
