Claim Worlds Record
For Development
Work
(From Saturdays Daily


the Globe district has been the an.
nounccment Of the hotation Of tne
Miami Copper company and for the
first time detailed information Of the
future plans Of the company as well as
what development work at the prop.
er,y has yielded, is given to the pub
lie.
When a little over a year ago, the
bonding OF the Oates. Newman and 9th.
er groups situated near the Inspiration,
Keystone and Live Oak mines, was ef.
fce:cd, /: was generally understood that
the General Development company,
composed Of Adolph Lewiston, J.
Parke Claiming and other well known
factors Of the copper world, was behind
the deal. The work of developing the
property centered in the Red Springs
claim, where at depth of 220 feet,
low grade sulphide ore was encounter
cd. The ore remained for n depth OF
40 feet, where sinking was suspended
pending the installation Of new hosting
equipment. In the short time which
the company was at work, 100000
tons Of ore which contains an average
Of 3P6 copper, nas been blocked out.
II is doubtful IL this record has ever
been surpassed in the history Of cop
per mining. The General Development
company has partially opened up, what
promises 20 be one Of the greatest
bodies Of copper ore in the country,
and the fotation Of Miami Copper was
decided upon as "A means of raising the
large amount required for the extrac.
ton Of it's ore and it's reduction
The company proposes TO erect AS
soon as possible the first unit Of con
centrator which will have daily ca
pacity Of 1000 tons and as develop
ments advance a second unit Of equal
capacity will be added. The first unit
will give an annual reduction Of H..
100000 pounds of copper, whicn ae-
cording to the estimates of Mr.. Chan
ming can he produced at a cost, sold in
New York, of o cents per pound.
The company resumed operations dur
ing the past week on larger scale than
heretofore, owing TO the fact that "a
new hosting plant and additional
equipment have been installed. Sinking
has been resumed and win be vigor-
ously pushed to the 1000 foot level,
with levels run at every hundred foot
stage. The pumps recently installed
are handling the water without trouble.
At the 500, or more correctly, the
470. foot level, work has been resumed
in developing the ore body and three
crosscuts are being pushed, all Of them
In ore, from the shaft to their present
extremes. One Of these is now 400 feet
in length, another so feet and the
| third go feet A force Of 20 men is
employed at present in the mine.
The strongest feature of tne new
company is the character and standing
of the men connected with IL. The fol
lowing list of officers needs no further
comment:
President, Adolph Lewiston, presi
dent United Metals Selling company
Vice president, j. Parke Charming
president Of the Tennessee Copper com
pany.
Treasurer, Julius Susmann, treasurer
of the Tennessee Copper company.
Secretary, Herman Cook,
Old Dominion.
The production at the Old Dominion
for March will probably be lower than
for February and the output Is expect
ed 20 be in the vicinity Of 2,O00,00t
pounds. Two furnaces were in opera
tion yesterday one Of them being saul
down for repairs, owing to n leakage
II Is believed that the company con
templates blowing In the idle furnaeei
in the near future, and Superintendent
Hegardt, who has been absent from
the city for week, is said to be II
California making arrangements 10
the purchase Of sulphide ore.
Water was struck on the 18th leve
in the west end Of the Old Dominion
during the last week, considerable
flow being encountered. There have
been no important Developments il
