dump over 200 tons of ore that fire age of IS per cent copper, with some gold and silver. It was the purpose of General Manager Hull to ship several hundred tons of this ore, but he informed the News man that he had changed his mind regarding the shipping proposition and had con- cluded to start the Cleopatra shelter when he had 1000 tons of ore on the dump. or just as soon thereafter as he could get coke and coal with which to blow in. He had thor oughly looked into the shipping prop osition before coming to this conclu sion. The fact that he is now talk
 ing out ore daily to the amount of three to five tons and is preparing to in crease the output, means that the Cleopatra shelter will be turning out bullion within the next few months. At the Hull good progress is being made, and Mir. Hull hopes to have the drift from the 1888 shaft and the Dillon tunnel connected within the next ninety days. When this work is finished the drift north from the 1888 shaft will be continued through the Hull properties into the Jerome claim on the north border of the United Verde.
 J. E. Leeper, manager of the Ar kansas & Arizona Copper company. who at the present time is located in Memphis. Tenn, was in Jerome for few days this week, leaving on Thursday morning. While here Mir. Leeper said to a News man that there was lots of money in the east for investment in legitimate mining propositions, and that in the country over which he has been, Arizona, and particularly Jerome and Yavapai county. were the most talked of min ing sections. Jerome, he said. was receiving much attention from peo- pie with money to invest in mining; that he was finding no difficulty in getting money for development pur- poses, and that in fact the finances of the A. & A. company were never in better condition than at the pres ent time. At the mine work is being continued in the drift from the 600 foot level in the main shaft.

THE GLOBE DISTRICT.
The Miami Promises Big Things
 Activity West of Globe.

Mining conditions in Globe district. while devoid of any unusual fea- ture, are satisfactory, indicating good progress by all the producing com panies and those actively developing their properties, says the Silver Belt. Conditions here seem to be better than in almost any other mining dis trict in the southwest. There is more at any time in the past year. and with the early improvement looked for in the metal market, an ex- pansion of large proportions would undoubtedly take place. The section of which the Miami Copper com pany's holdings is the center, and embracing the Keystone, Inspiration, Eureka, Live Oak, Warrior and Montezuma properties. is attracting wide attention owing to the phe- nomenal ore developments at the Red Springs shaft of the Miami com pany.
 This shaft has reached a depth of about 700 feet and a new level is to be started at 670 feet J. Parks Chan ming, consulting engineer of the Mi ami Copper company, in a letter of recent date, to the president of the company, Adolph Lewisohn, says:
 My report as published in the prospectus, was written practically as of March last. Since that time de- velopments have been actively pushed and the tonnage has been rapidly in creasing. so that think by the first of July. at which time I will arrive at the mine, will see at least 5000, 900 tons of ore in sight. There is very nearly that amount now, and so far all the drifts which we were operat- ing last April have continued in ore.
 The Miami promises to be q very large copper producer. The grade of the ore holds up remarkably well. The results of recent samplings show that it is fully per cent.
 We have completed our line of ex- periments to determine the details of the mill construction and the design of the mill will soon be pushed to a conclusion.
 q am informed that the extension of the railroad will be begun by the railroad company on July 1, and should reach us in time to bring in the major portion of our construc- ton material. The compact and enor- nous size of the ore body more than ever confirms me as to my estimate
Arizona republican., 1908-06-28

of low costs of operation. The prox- imity to water and rail transporta- : tion will enable us to begin produc- ing much more rapidly than those properties which are handicapped in this direction
 The Eureka shaft of the Arizona is down 40 feet. A station is to be cut at 45O feet and a crosscut run to meet the drift from the old Black Hawk incline shaft. The Eureka shaft will be sunk to water level by the present contractors.
 Harrington and McIvers have es- tablished a new record in Globe dis trict for shaft sinking, beating their own previous record made in sinking the Gem shaft of the Globe Consoli- dated, which they put down 107 feet in a month. In the same length of time they sank the Eureka three compartment shaft 112 1-2 feet, and during that time they lost two shifts owing to repairs made to the gallows frame. Sinking for the entire month was done in exceptionally hard lime and quartzite rock. Although the Gem shaft is a trifle larger than the Eure- ka, there were eight more on a shift and four machines employed in sink ing the Gem shaft, while the Eureka record was established with six men and three machines. The record measurement was taken by Foreman ONeiIl and Engineer Kunke in the presence of six miners.
 The Gardner shaft of the Superior & Boston is down 200 feet, at which depth a station will be cut and sink ing continued. There has been some improvement at the Great Eastern. The winZe has been sunk 40 feet be- low the 420-foot level and is bottomed in the finest ore yet encountered carbonate and glance going II per cent copper and from to II ounces in silver to the ton. The ore body in the winze is eight feet wide. The Great Eastern stopes are looking well and the usual ore shipments of forty tons daily are being made to the O. D. shelter.
 The drifts on the 1100-foOt level of the Gem. mine of the Globe Con solidated are in the same grade of sulphide ore. The south crosscut from the Mallory shaft is in 600 feet and should soon cut the sulphide lead encountered m the Gell. IL VIII De necessary to drift 1900 feet to connect the two crosscuts.
 The Montezuma Copper company, which has been working steadily since September. has sunk it's shaft 175 feet. A crosscut was started at 150 feet and drifted 65 feet, showing all low-g grade sulphide ore. from top to bottom. The ledge is reported more than 200 feet wide. The property is composed of seventeen full claims and has a promising future. It is located about a mile due west of the Miami group. Lyman C.. Woods of Globe is president of the company and Charles Maybush is the manager of the works
 At the Iron Cap the headings are all in better ore than last week. The improvement is especially noticeable in the winze which is now IA feet below the 450-foot level General Manager Woodward returned from the Fumarole on Thursday and re- ported that values were improving in the drift and crosscuts. The showing is very promising.

THE KEYSTONE CONTROVERSY
1t Is Now on Trial in the District
 Court at Globe.

It is confidently believed that when the Keystone Mining company gets it's dirty linen all washed in the dis trict court at Globe and somebody gets a good title to it, with money to work it, the Globe district will have one more fine property in it's list of big mines. The Keystone, situated in the western part of the district, is believed to be big mineral deposit and has been favorably reported upon by many reputable men. But the promoters became indebted to the old Dominion and had to dispose of the property. Through Engineer Will fam Sultan of Globe a sale was made to N. l.. Amster, one of the condi- tions of which was the advancement of s65.OOO to clear up the indebted ness due the Old Dominion and per form other things. By the estime MT. Amster's money arrived, sale had been effected to Jack Newman, or, at least, that seems to be the question at issue. Anyhow, the company seemed inclined to do business with Newman rather than Amster, and the latter brought suit.
 In the justice court it was con tended by certain of the directors that Amster had shown a disposi- ton to keep the Keystone hanging until the very last day, when he could dictate his terms, and that it was for this reason that his propO sition had been turned down and the company had gone over to New man when he sent a certified check for s65,OOO by Attorney Hill to the meeting of the company's directors, May 26, last.
 The allegations of the Keystone company, in brief, are to the effect that it found itself in situation where the money must be obtained within a specified time. The Old Dominion Commercial company had foreclosed the mortgage on the Key stone company and the property was sold, but the Keystone had six months in which to reclaim its property. The time expires August 1.
 The case came up before Judge Nave for trial in Globe on the 18th, and the forenoon was spent when court was adjourned on account of the illness of the judge, but it was expected he would be able to pro- ceed with the trial on Friday.

THE SULTANH> ARIZONA.
Progress of Development Work on
 This We'll Known Property.

Financial Converse, a monthly min ing journal published by Geo. P. Bald win of Chicago, in the issue of June 15 gives an account of the annual meeting of the Sultana-AriZona com pany which owns the valuable cop per mines across the river from Kel- win. Speaking of the report of prog ress at the mine, Financial Converse says: "Supt. Harrington is still driv- ing north and south from the 100- foot level in the working shaft to tap the veins, and is greatly helped in his work by the advent. some weeks ago, of the steam hoist which is dO- ing splendid work. He expects at any moment to break into the veins, and as soon as he has done so. every thing will be ready to feed the con- centrator or smelter, whichever is se- lected to handle the ores.
 "A treatment plant will then be fed from No. shaft. from the big shaft and from a number of surface workings, including the Nos. and 3 tunnels.
 "Once a concentrator is installed, development work can be done more

ARIZONA MINES


Pursuant to a call issued by Presi- dent J. J. Shaw of the Mazatzal Cop per company for a meeting of the stockholders of that company to be held in the Bank of Jerome on Tues day night last, all of the stockhold CTS residing in Jerome who possibly could get out met in the directors room of that institution, says the Mining News. The meeting was for the purpose of hearing the report of President Shaw, who returned a few days before from making an exam ination of the property. in company with Alex H. Lyons and the editor of the News. The report of MT. Shaw was received with much en- thusiasm, so much so that the orig inal stockholders, in almost every case, then and there increased their holdings in the company, and the original push still remain the own CTS of the mine--and we use the word mine advisedly, as development to date has exposed thousands of tons of pay ore. The success of the finan- ciering and working of the Mazatzal under the management of the presi- dent and general manager, Mir. J. J.
 
 enal Local people alone almost all of the money so far put into the enterprise has come from local peo- ple-have subscribed in the neigh borhood of s35,O0O This money has come from the business man. laborer and miner alike. Mir Shaw is the mining man who is now and has been for the past two years remov- tha l,a in the United Verde mine in Jerome, feat which it was thought could not be accomplished until the fire in this great mine had burned itself out, which meant that the great wealth contained in these ores would have remained underground for another generation. As mentioned in the last issue of the News, sinking on the great ore bodies exposed in the MaZatzal has been commenced and to expedite the work, President Shaw on Thursday ordered a power hoist which the builder has promised to put upon the ground in the shortest possible time. In comparison with the MazatZal, the surface showing on either the United Verde, Copper Queen or the Cananea mines is not so large nor the values so great, and now that development has demon strated that the ores on this great property go down, the prospects are that within the next two years the Mazatzal will be classed with the Queen, the Verde and the Cananea. Two shifts are now at work sinking, and when the new machinery arrives it is proposed to put in another shaft.

rapidly on the veins lying farther south and in all probability another working shaft will be put down to tap the veins on that part of the ground.
 Mir Harrington has been making regular smelter shipments during the last few weeks from ores of No. , shaft and states that the ores are as fine as anything that ever went out of that section of the country.
 These shipments are being made to shelter at Fl Paso and checking system has been established by which the Sultana company has a repre- sentative assayer at Fl Paso who as- says the pulp and checks up with the smelter's assayer before the reduc- ton of the ores"
