THE INSPIRATION DEAL

A MONO the many mining deals made A for property in Globe district this year, none has created such geperal-in- terest locally as the negotiations for the sale of the Inspiration mine and group of claims. One reason for this is the public appreciation of the great value of the property, and another is that the stock of the Inspiration com pany is very largely held in Globe.
 The directors and controlling stock holders have held the property at a stiff price-sl ,500,000 cash--in which they were fully justified, and negotia- tions were several times entered into with different interests, but not until last week was an agreement reached the terms of which were mutually sat isfactory to both the buyer and the seller. Vim. B. Thompson of New York, and Geo. E. Gum of Salt Lake City, both we'll known in mining circles, are the parties to whom an option was giv en by the directors of the company, subject to ratification by a majority vote of the stock, and as considera- tion for such option Messrs. Thompson and Gum paid into the treasury of the Inspiration company s9,700, and in the event of the ratification of the deal by the stockholders, of which no doubt is entertained, Messrs. Thompson and Gum are to pay the further sum of $240,300, or failing to do so, forfeit the money already advanced.
 The agreement calls for further pay ments by Messrs. Thompson and Gum. at stated intervals until the payments amount to s4,OO0,O00, for controlling interest in the property. Stockholders have been fully advised of the terms of the agreement. It is the intention of the purchasers, after the agreement has been ratified and the first payment of $250,000 has been completed, to i'm mediately start development work on the property. There is already a large tonnage of sulphide in sight in the In spiration mine and it is predicted that ore will be as rapidly opened up in the Inspiration as was the case on the ad joining property, the Miami.
 The Inspiration company is indepted to J. D. Coplen, the general manager, for the success of the deal and the ad- vantageous terms secured from the pur- chasers.

THE MeMillen- -StonewalI Mining
 A company has been developing the Stonewall Jackson mine at McMillep for the past year. z. Y. Smith, manager. ha. sunk a working shaft 300 feet and is no V crosscutting at that depth. Two impor. tant strata have been cut by the shaft and the ore has also been interseeted in the crosscut, although the main ledge Nas nt yet been reached. The Stonewall Jackson was one of Globe s famous sil- yer mines thirty years ago and is known to be a rich mine today.
 E. T. Satchell has organized a com. pany to reopen the old Fl Capitan mine nine miles south of Globe and the initial work has developed some high grade silver ore such as the mine produced during the early days of the camp.
 There are number of other deserv- ing mining projects which have been set on foot this year, which from lack of information and time We are com pelled to defer mention until later date.
 Mining is growing in Globe district with such rapid strides that it is diff. cult to keep abreast of the rising tide. but the Silver Belt will do its best to keep the reading public informed.

lower level where stripped is fourteen feet wide, and the ore higher grade than on the level above
 Engineer Frank II. Probert estimates the ore in sight in the Great Eastern mine at 20,000 tons and predicts that every foot sunk in, the next 100 feet will put an additional s7,000 on the gross value of the property. The value of the ore now developed in the Great Eastern mine is placed at $500,000. The ore shipped to Fl Paso in September, which was unusually good, averaged 7.24 ounces in silver to the ton and l0.64 per cent copper
 The Gardner shaft, started April 1, 1908, and which was sunk 435 feet, is intended to develop the Black OK ide, Iron King and other veins near the south end of the Superior & Boston ground. It has three compartments and is one of the best constructed shafts in the district. Crosscuts are being run north and south from the Gardner shaft at the 40ofoot level.
 The Limestone shaft, situated nearly midway between the Great Eastern and Gardner shafts, is SIS feet deep with three levels at intervals of 100 feet. The Assure vein opened by the Lime stone shaft shows commercial ore on the footwall for an average width of four feet. Each level has shown an improvement both in width and char acter of ore. over the one above. No work is being carried on at the Lime stone at present, but it is the intention of the management to resume work there later.
 A new three compartment shaft is being sunk north of the present Great Eastern shaft to intersect the ore body at a depth of 950 feet, and crosscut has been driven from the 400-foot lev new shaft. -
 The financial statement shows that the Superior & Boston company had 8 balance on hand October I, 1908, of $292, ,s4276. of which $27s,69O.11 was cash, the remainder being made up of ore sold, supplies and bills receivable. During the fiscal year ended Septem Der 30, 1908 the company realized $4s,341.61 from copper shipped to the smelters and the value of the ore shipped in October and November was about 5000, making the total for the calendar year $73,000.
 In all, 6,374 feet of work has been done on the Superior & Boston proper ty at at the date the annual report was written, and MT. Probert says, "When it is considered that every foot of the work done has given us approximately $100 worth of ore, the company has surely reason to be proud of the rec ord.'

show sl25,OOO on the profit side oi the ledger.
 For the first ten or twelve days of December the full battery of six fur naces were operated and five are now in blast, treating 800 to 1000 tons of ore from the company's mines. In con, sequence of the increased tonnage be. ing treated, the output of copper for December should be fully 4,0O0,O00 pounds; and we understand it is the in. tention of the management to main tain that rate of production next year.
 Old Dominion resumed the payment of dividends this month at the rate of fifty cents quarterly, which can be easily maintained on l3-eent metal market, and which the company would probably increase to $l.50 quarterly should the price of copper be advanced to IS cents. All things considered, the future of Old Dominion is very bright and it will undoubtedly continue to grow until it ranks among the leading copper producers of the world.

OTHER BIG DEALS

THE rush of big people in the copper l world to invest in properties in the Globe district has resulted in several other deals, all consummated within the last few weeks, among the most i'm portant of which should be mentioned the bonding of large group of claims on Pinto crock, including the Arizona National and Pinto Copper companies holdings, to w. A. Eaton and J. c. Her shey of Duluth, and their transfer to the Cactus Development company; the bonding of the Live Oak and Eureka properties by Hovland and Smith and associates, at nearly three quarters of million dollars in the aggregate; and the highly successful Notation of the Arizona Michigan Mining company, with Capt. James Chynoweth at its head, to develop and operate a large group of promising claims adjoining the Arizona Commercial and Superior & Boston properties. MN
 The Globe Mining company, J. F.. Hechtman, manager, has also resumed development on the Mineral Farm group, a property of great merit.

Both breasts of the Gem vein are in sulphide orc, as are also three raises, and on the Future Copper vein stope is being opened that shows eight cen to twenty inches of 2l per cent sulphide. Ore shipments are being grad ually increased and this month will aggregate about 700 tons.
 With better facilities for handling the ore, which are to be provided, Globe Consolidated would very soon become one of the large producers of the camp, and there is every reason to believe, al so, great mine.

THE GIBSON MINE

THE Gibson mine, noted for it's large
 \ output of high grade sulphide ore, has not been very actively operated for the year past, only small shipments being maintained during the depression in cop per. Quite force of miners was em. ployed the greater part of the year on development work, principally in open ing the 9th level. A large amount of dead work was found necessary and while the drifts have encountered ore, they have not yet reached the point in the ledge where it is expected the ore shoot that was so rich on the levels above will be encountered. The Gibson mine has been a phenomenal producer of rich ore and has gained more than a local reputation.

The vein IS opened by shaft following the dip to depth of 60 feet, in which distance the vein has widened from few inches to five feet averaging SIS per ton. There IS one foot and half of ore in the bot tom Of the drift 50 feet in depth, which assays $27.40 gold, 31.65 per cent iron, and 3s.77 per cent sulphur MT.

THE Globe Consolidated has reached
 Il the stage of development where the management feels confident they have a mine that will become large producer of copper. With well equip ped shaft nearly 1,200 feet deer. and ex- tensive levels opening the sulphide ores in drifts and crosscuts, the period of uncertainty and heavy expenditures is at an end, and Globe Consolidated now should be classed among the regular producing mines of the Globe district.

 x made great progress since the be ginning of the year in developing the Montgomery mine and has opened on the 250-foot level an ore body over 450 feet long and from B to so feet wide, that will average l2 per cent or better in copper. This is undoubtedly one of the best showings for the amount of development, in Globe district. The mine has been steady shipper for two years or more, and has recently in creased the amount of ore delivered to the Old Dominion shelter to upwards of 60 tons daily. Superintendent E. M. White has accomplished much in the way of development and with very lit tie expense to the company, the returns from ore shipments practically paying for the work.

It is a big,strong vein'fand portions of it carry high percentage of sulphur and fair values in copper. No drifting of consequence has been done on this vein. Oxidation is still present at that depth and the formation carries very little water. It is probable that greater depth on the vein will have to be reach ed to find the true sulphides, and the

NATIONAL MINING
 EXPLORATION

T WO properties have been under
 l development by the National Min ing Exploration company during the year, the Iron Cap located on the Black hawk lead and adjoining the Arizona Commercial and Superior & Boston, and the Fumarole mine, situated about nine miles from Stafford, in Graham county. The development on the Iron Cap this year has been confined principally to drifting and crosscutting on the 450 foot level and sinking winze to wa ter level, where some drifting was done in very good hematite ore carrying cop- per carbonates, ore very similar to that found in the Blackhawk vein on the Arizona Commercial and Superior & Boston, but not of so high a grade. tered in drifting on the 450 level and in an upraise. The management is now planning to sink three compartment shaft some distance north of the pres ent shaft, which is too small and too far from the veins to be economical.
 The Fumarole mine has been opened by shaft to depth of 700 feet and on the 500-foot level the ore body is opened by drifts and crosscuts and a large amount of ore blocked out which the management claims carries gold values running from about s4.50 to $15 per ton. A level will now be opened at 700 feet and if the values in the ore are satisfactory, machinery for recov- ering the gold will be installed. There is also vein of copper on the Fumarole property, but little has been done in the way of prospecting it.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-12-20

com pany has planned to sink the shaft 200 feet deeper and open another level. At present Superintendent s. c. Phil lips is continuing the crosscuts to the north and the south. Another small vein was cut in the south crosscut. There is no question but that the Arizona Colo rado Copper company has property of large value, but it will require consid- erable capital to develop it into a mine.
