BIG COPPER

Gem and Globe Boston Ores

The series of remarkable copper
strikes made in the mines OF this dis
tricti during the past few months nave
kept Globe in the lime light wherever
interest is taken in mining. says the
Silver Belt Very recently tAe ore
discoveries have been more frequent
and almost sensational IN their i'm
portance The Silver Belt has fotlnn
great satisfaction in recording these
favorable developments and in trans
hitting the good news to every sec
ton OF the United States, and boost
ing for Globe, which has been its chleI
mission since the paper was estab-
lished over thirty years ago.
1t is especially gratifying TO report
continued Improvement of the ore bod
les in both tae Gem and Globe-BOston
workings. The Gem vein shows steady
Improvement in size as well as in the
quality of the ore. The snlphides
have widened to nearly four feet and
the average grade of ore shows further
betterment. The striking improve
mept. however, is in the richer sec
ton of the vein. which has widened to
eight inches and is now solid chalco-
pyrite assying 20 per cent copper.
The Future Copper vein, where cut

also looks better, howing more chaIcs
pyrite. The vein is so wet and soft
that it has been found difficult to
maintain the opening, and the manage
ment has decided to drive an extrac-
ton drift in the footwall and adopt
the same methods, drifting on the
same vein from the Gem workings.
and prosecuting into the ore every
fifty feet.
Encouraged by the recent improved
showing, the management is pushing
development with the confidence born
OF success.
Ground will be broken today for a
three compartment working shaft u

Eastern ore body and also to explore
the vein-belieyed by some to be the
Old Dominion fault-on the Collins
and Doyle ground, and the site Sc
lected by Engineer Frank H. ProbeTt
is said to be an ideal one, affording
an almost level grade for the exten-
sion to it OF the Arizona Commercial
railroad, ample room for the machin,
cry and building appurtenant TO a
plant of sufficient capacity, plenty OF
dump room, and what is of greatest
Importance, especially well located for
the rapid and economical development
OF contiguous ore bodies. The Great
Eastern croscut on the 430-foot leYeI
is being driven toward the site of the
new shaft at the rate of five feet q
day, and within very few months
should reach the point directly be
meath the new shaft from which o.

Great Eastern woI king shaft will be
matter for early consideration and

The ore was encountered several fee
