WORK IS PROGRESSING
 ~ AT SUPERIOR.
572 Feet of Tunneiing Already Com pleted on Property Worked by
 Denver Capitalists.

J. J. Mackey and J. O. A Carper. mining men formerly of Denver. Colo, passed through Mesa Friday last on
 their way to the Superior country, where they are engaged in tunnelling | in the E. & K. Pomeroy group of claims located near the Queen proper ty.
 These gentlemen have bonded this property of the Pomeroy brothers and have been working both day and night shift since they took possession several months ago. The ledge con- Itaining the ore body has been. esti- mated to be SIP feet from the mouth of the tunnel. which has been opened Ito within a distance of about forty
 feet of the ledge. and work has been carried on steadily all during the dull period which has recently prevailed in many of the mines throughout the southwest This same ledge also ex- tends through both the Queen and Su- perior properties, the former joining the group bonded by Mackey & Car per and runs high in both copper and gold. the gold being a free-milling proposition. The Superior mine has produced many tons of ore which has averaged from s3,OO0 to s30.O0o per car As soon as the few feet of earth be- tween the end of the tunnel and the ledge is removed active mining opera tions will be begun and the ore pro-
 duced rapidly. The owners of the Su-
 perior properties are contemplating
 the erection of a large stamp mill at an early date which will treat the ore produced from the three groups of mines Messrs. Mackey and Carper are very sanguine regarding this pro position and believe that the Superior district has a great future. Both are expert mining men of considerable ex- perience and have made thorough investigation of the ore formation in this section
