WARREN DISTRICT MINES
 HAVE 4OOO MEN AT WORK

 past.
 At courtland.
 TAe Courtland district continues to hold the attention of this section and according 10 report the development work beng carried on there con tinues to be of the most encouraging character. The Southern Pacific has completed it's grade to where it win have it's yards and has laid steel to the end of this grade, so that it is expected during next week freight de- lYeries will be made by this com pany at Courtland. The Southern Pacific depot win he south of the Great Western townsite, about if teen hundred feet from it's southern Emit. The depot of the Mexican Colorado railroad will also be on the south side of this towns.te and 1t is not unlikely that both roads may arrange to use the same depot though there is nothing more than faint Tumor to substantiate such predic- tion
 It is known that the Great Western and Calumet & Arizona have already developed important ore bodies in their Courtland properties and it is expected that shipments from this district will go forward to the smelter in Douglas as soon as the railroad IS ready to haul it.
 A number of important buildings are now under construction at Court land and t is expected that the build ing industry will increase here now that material can be shipped in by rail. The streets of the Great West ern townsite are being graded and this work will be completed during the present month. A water supply for the district is being provided by Bisbee company and soon the Ccurtland district will be supplied with every public utility. It now has telephone system to connect IL with the outside world.
 During the year the development work on the Superior & Pittsburg ground has shown good results from all shafts. The Cole shaft develop ment has shown considerable exten- sion of the old south ore body on the South Bisbee claim on the 900-foot level and also of the ore body on the Sunnyside claim towards the north and the east. On the 1000-foot level we have recently opened up on the Granville claim some promising ground which is making considerable oxide ore and we are looking for gooi ! results on both ths claim and the i Unknown No. 1 claim during the pres ent year. On the Supplement claim | 1000-foct level, we have opened up | large oxidized area from which we | have mined considerable good grade oxide ore This ground has not as ! yet been developed at depth. On the ! northeast end of the Sunnyside claim along the line of the Gibraltar, belong ! ing to the Calumet & Arizona, We have developed a fine showing of oxide ort and leached material which seems tC be dipping into the Unknown No | claim of Superior & Pittsburg. The latter part of the year we started { drift east from our 1400-foot level tC explore an absolutely new section. il the general direction of the Brigg shaft This drift has cut lime, som' of which was highly altered.
 '-The Briggs shaft was not worke' during the year 1908 The pumping a the Junction has drained the shaft which IS now entirely dry. The Juno tion shaft waz sunk during the yea 206.5 feet, or to a total depth of 155 feet and we are opening the 14O0 an
 1500-foot levels.
 \ Our principal development wor
 during the year has been our 130
 and 1400-foot levels. On our 150(
 foot level the station has ben GU
 and also a pump room and a neN pumping plant has been installed. O
 the 1900 and 140o-foot levels north c the shaft We have opened up sulphid
 ore of good grade. The ore occurs i
 lenses up to 30 feet in thickness na
 1S0 feet in Ssngth. These lenses mak
 up an ore body extending from tn
 I2G0-fOot level down through th
 1400-foot level. We have not as ye
 drifted in these ore bodies on ou
 1500-foot level
 We started drifting southwes
 from this shaft on our 1400-foot levt
 with the view of cutting an extensio
 of the large ore body existing on tn
 Del Norte claim, and at 300 feet froI
 the shaft encountered a body of su
 phide ore similar in nature to that o
 the north side. We drifted in thi
 about 35 feet when we cut such a fio'
 of water that we have temporaril
 stoped this drift The sulphine or
 cut in this drift is. in our judgmen
 from TOO to 1000 feet north of wher
 We might expect to encounter the el
 tension of the Del Norte ore body. The Hoatson shaft was sunk 252
 feet during the year and has reache
 a total depth of 1880 feet. or 25 fee
 below what we term the 150O-foc level.
