GREAT TONNAGE IF ORE OPENED ON
 LIVE OAK
Churn Drills Have Been Or dered for Prospecting
 of Property

At the Live Oak mine, located in the Miami district, the tonnages of low grade sulphide concentrating ore are being added to each week. During the past few days drift No. 207 has been extended to a length of 45 feet and has been constantly in chalcoeite con eentrating ore, running two and a quar- ter per cent or better in copper. On the 300 level drift No. 30S is now out 92 feet from the virgin shaft and this drift also is in chalcocite ore averaging If per cent copper.
 An extension of drift No. 8O6. which runs north from the shaft on the third level, has been started and designated as drift No. BIO. This extension bears slightly to the west and is expected to open up still further the large ore re. serves of the Live Oak company. Drift BIO is now ten feet long. During the past week an advance of thirty feet has been made in drifts No. 306 and BIO. Drift No. BIO is in chalcocite ore running 2.6 per cent in copper on the average and that part of drift 3O6 which was driven last week has been constantly in this grade of ore. The total number of feet which drift 3O6 now measures is 430.
 As ehalcocite ore of good commercial grade prevailed in the sulphide tunnel for 90 feet south of the vertical shaft of the Live Oak mine and the present drift No. 306 IS 430 feet long north of the shaft, the total length of the proven ore body of the Live Oak prop erty is 4S0 feet. The depth of this ore body has been shown to be at least 100 feet by operations that were ear. ried on in the vertical shaft. The ore still prevails to the bottom of this shaft, however, so that no limits have been set vertically to the extent of the ore. Development work, up to the pres ent time has proven the width of this ore body to be at least loo feet. The management s estimate that the Live Oak has developed at least 500,O00 tons of low grade commercial ore, which was made few weeks ago, could now be set at a much higher figure and still be conservative
 One of the most encouraging fea- lures of the present development of the Live Oak mine is the fact that all of its workings are in ore of good com. mercial grade. Given few more weeks of such results as the manage ment of the Live Oak mine is obtaining at the present time, the ore tonnages there will make it compare favorably with any mining property in the Miami district.
 The two churn drills which have been ordered for the hastening of develop ment work on the Live Oak property are expected to arrive on the ground soon and will be put to work at once, prospecting the land of the Live Oak Development company in 200-foot squares.
 Altogether the management of the Live Oak Development company IS more than pleased with the manner in which their efforts toward development have been rewarded.

NEW ORE RESERVES
 OPENED UP AT WARRIOR
Slopes at Various Levels Producing High Grade
 Shipping Rock

The work at the mine of the Warrior Development company during the past week has been very similar to that ear ried on for some time past, in that ii is record of continuous prosperity. The shipments of from sixty to seventy tons of 10 per cent copper ore daily are being maintained All the main work ings in which the mine force is now employed are opening up new ore re- serves, all of which have high copper percentages. Several raises are being put up and drifts are being driven on the 200, 300 intermediate and 300 lev els, with most encouraging results in practically every instance. Much of the ore that these drifts and raises are opening runs as high as 20 per cent in copper. Several of the main drifts are exploring new territory and in no case have they run out of the ore.
 ~ On the 300 intermediate level raise No. 36 has continued in 20 per cent copper ore during the past week and is adding daily to the tonnages of this high grade material from that part of the mine. Raise No. 37, which is locat- ed 100 feet west of raise No. 36 is still in ore averaging about 10 per cent cop per- The ore body in this part of the mine also is proving to be very exten. sive.

 Mir. Coplen is the holder of large interest in the Barney group of about thirty claims located in the Miami dis. trict of the Globe quadrangle. It is the expectation of the owners of this prop erty that development work will be con. menced there within the next few weeks but the plan along which this work will be done is not yet fully de termined. The Barney group is, beyond question, one of the most valuable un' developed mining properties near Globe and with reasonable amount of pros pection should become producing mine capable of ranking with the mum erous valuable developed properties ly' ing near it.

FINE CHALCOC|TE IN WORKINGS IF
 CORDOVA
New Shaft on Eureka Group Has Reached a Depth
 of Thirty Feet

The results obtained at the Cordoya mine during the past few days have given ample foundation for all the con, fidenee which many local people have placed in this mine since operations first began there. The eross-cut running east from the Sullivan shaft is now out l56 feet and is in chaleoeite ore of such high grade that it leaves no doubt as to the future of this proper ty as low grade producer.
 A repetition of just such results in work has occurred in the case of the Inspiration mine last year is virtually taking place in the Cordova mine today. The grade of the ore there is steadily increasing and at the pres ent rate excellent commercial values for the Cordova ore body should be as sured very soon. No doubt now is held by the management of the Cordova Copper company as to the ultimate proving of it's property as mine cap. able of yielding splendid returns in a financial way It is not exaggerating to say that the CordOva mine will soon take rank as one of the substantial properties of the Miami district. A force of about thirty men is being em. ployed in the underground and surface work at the Sullivan shaft.
 In addition to the work being car ried on at the Sullivan shaft, a new shaft which was started during the past week on the line between the Jennie and the Osceola claims of the Eureka group, belonging to the Cordova com pany has been sunk to a depth of thir- ty feet and rapid progress is being made there daily. This shaft is still in the oxidized zoney but it is expect ed that there will be a change in ground before long, as the eapping in that region is not, as rule, over 90 feet. The new shaft is only about 250 feet from the drill holes put down by the Inspiration Copper company. This churn drill work on the Inspira- tion property has developed 200 feet of excellent concentrating sulphide ore and the limits of the experiencing body have not yet been determined. There is every reason to believe, there fore, that equally encouraging results will be obtained by the shaft work on the Cordova property in this vicin- ity.

MAKE FINE SHOWING ON OLD
 CENTENNIAL
Wagonloads of Rich Ore Be ing Shipped to Old Do
 minion Shelter

At the Centennial, where Harry Zschosgner and w. M. Davis are leas- ing, a showing is being made that makes glad the heart of the mining man.
 Thursday noon another wagon load of rich ore came from the Centennial to the Old Dominion shelter.
 Although the high values in copper in the ore from this property are ap- parent to the experienced eye, its heavy percentage in silver is surprising equation amounting to 450 ounces in the richest portions of the ledge This grade of ore is being shipped regularly.
 A 400-foot drift running norrheaster- ly from the 300-foot level of the shaft is the channel from which the ore is coming. The vein is being worke k by the leasers at point about 300 feet from the shaft, where win1e has been sunk to open the vein. Drifting from this winze a drift is being driven through older workings and the result in shipments show that the method of cutting the ore bodp is scientific in it's application. The ore encountered nc- CUTS in two parallel veins, the nigh grade ore that is taken out being de- composed by larger vein of lower grade that is also of commercial value. The latter is considered too low in min eral to be shipped by the present opcrt- tors, although it would be of com mercial value if the mine were being worked on larger scale.

PLANT IF GIBSON NEARING
 COMP PLET|ON
Fifty Men Continue Devel- opment of This Promis-
 ing Property

At the mine of the Gibson Copper company, located in the Gibson district, force of fifty men is at work con tinuing the development of the mine on systematic principles. Most of the drifting, crosscutting, raising and sink ing of winzes is being done on the var ious levels from the third level down. On all of these levels the veins of high grade ore such as the Gibson mine has produced in large suantities for sever. al years are being opened up so that the management of the mine can today say conservatively that at no time in the history of the Gibson property has a greater quantity of ore body been in sight.
 The inclined shaft of the Gibson mine was, as is we'll known, put down on the Summit vein and at the third level crosscut was run north about two hundred feet to open up the Pas quale vein. Both of these lodges have proven rich in copper deposits and other smaller leads that have been encounter ed from time to time have contributed toward making the Gibson mine one of the most lucrative high grade propo- sitions that has been developed in Ar izona. The continuance of the develop ment work along the present lines will put the mine in such shape that the ore can be extracted much more quickly and cheaply than has been the case in the past
 At the vertical shaft which is PA feet deep the construction of the new plant is progressing steadily. For the past few weeks the machinists at work on this surface plant have been await ing the arrival of the piping and other materials necessary for completing ;he work. This material has now reached Globe and will be sent out to the mine at once. As soon as the boilers are connected with the hoist, and the com pressor the plant will be ready to be put in use. Eventually, the vertical shaft will be the one through which the supplies will be sent into the mine and the ore taken out.
 The present policy of the Gibson Copper company in making a definite plan for working its mine along the most approved lines can not be too high ly commended and when the mine again begins production its large shipments of high grade ore should add material ly to the total copper output of Globe district.

 Copper Hill Property
 The Arizona Commercial s next most valuable property is the Copper Hill, whence steady shipments have been made since the smelling plant near the Eureka shaft has been blown in. It's ore bodies have been easier of access but whether it is as extensive an ore deposit as the Eureka remains to be seen, its exploration thus far being but small integer compared with the lat ter portion of the eompany's holdings, The character of its ore is the same as that usually encountered in the east ern, or Assure portion" of the quad rangle, and has been of surpassing rich ness. At one place near the surface, the face of the east drift was solid front of ore that Foreman Tom Stafford said averaged over twenty per eent,- and it's solid and green appearance bore out his statement From this prop. erty's surface workings, much ore was shipped to the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas. This, however, was before completion of the Arizona Commercial $ own reduction plant, and was from only low grade bodies. It was shipped main ly because of the high rate allowed by the southern smelter for silicious ores, the surface ore of the Copper Hill be- ing unusually heavy in silica.
 The Arizona Commercials s two main workings-the Eureka and the Copper Hill--are moving along steadily and the shelter is gradually building a slag. dump.

 This aggravating feature of dAvel- opment work is being met by the Su- perior & Globes Foreman Pete Wag- ner, with the stoicism that character izes the veteran miner. Until the shaft has reached depth needed for drift ing southeast to the Big Johnny vein the work will be of the usual monoto nous kind that must be borne by all companies situated in the copper couu. try and just beginning. The stringers of quartz and general impregnation of low grade ehalcopyrite in the sha tt show the heavy naturalization of the vein, even at that distance from it's greatest development on the Old Do minion property. The shaft of the Su. perior & Globe is being sunk in the sol. i'd formation several hundred feet from the vein and the naturalization men. toned has been welcome surprise all though a welcome assurance to the managers of the property.
 Superintendent H. V. Shell says the Superior & Globe will not crosscut the vein until greater depth has been reached, perhaps $50 or 700 feet, de pending for the exact depth upon the nature of the faulting to be encountered in that region.
 Being in the Big Johnny and Yuma veins this property is not wholly an m. known quantity, but it must necessarily traverse much ground yet before the ledge matter is disclosed. Its surface croppings show that it is not a mere venture on the part of its projectors
