K Hecla. The most important consid-
Grafton at the present time, with re-
gard TO the Keweenaw is the showings
i'm the two openings on the Kearsarge
formation. These are both I'm good
copper values and the continuance OF
the work brings further hope for flu
turc success There is a pronounced
public sentiment i'm favor of the Ke-
weenaw and everybody in Boston and
in Michigan, with the copper interests
at heart, would be delighted to see the
Keweenaw succeed, having nothing but
commentator for the enterprise OF the
people who have contended against
such odds in going ahead with explor-
atory operations on the Kearsarge lode
after their failure to open up a paying
copper formation at the Medora.
Adventure
This property has some openings on
the new Mass lode which disclose very
fair copper. The formation differs
little from that shown at the Mass in
that the nedules are much larger than
at the Mass The disclosures are in
two crosscuts which are extended east
ward from the Evergreen workings on
the Knowlton. one of the crosscuts
il at the sixth level of No. 3 shaft and
the other is an extension of the adit
drive from No. l shaft into the bluff.
No. shaft is sunk on the Knowlton
lode and the crosscut at the sixth level
was originally driven back southwark
across the formation to the Evergreen.
From that point a diamond drill ex-
ploration was made i'm which promis-
ing copper bearing ground was dis
covered, including the No. / New Ad-
venture lode, for which a vertical shaft
is now sinking. This drill also passes
through the lode that was afterwards
! opened by the Mass and is called the
! New Mass lode. After the Mass open
ed this lode by crosscuts, the Adven-
| ture began extending its crosscuts at
| the sixth level on southwark beyond
the Evergreen lode and recently came
I into copper bearing lode. After this
sixth level crosscut was under way the
extension of the adlt near No. / shaft
which originally was opened across the
500 feet that separated the Knowlton
from the Evergreen was begun, will
results similar to those at the sixth
level crosscut. The adit crosscut. IN
which better showings have been made
is about 1900 feet from the nearest
point where the lode is opened by the
i Mass underground. The adit enters tn,
lode from the hanging wall side and
copper is i'm evidence from the tim,
the lode first makes it's appearance al
though it is not commercial until some
distance toward the footwall.

Ahmeek-
Shaft sinking on Ahmeek's two new
shafts is now progressing with mucl
better speed than formerly. These
shafts are now below 300 feet i'm deptl
and the skips have been i'm commission
for several weeks. Shafts Nos. 1 anC
are down over 500 feet and the lat
teral openings are all in very good
looking rock. All the rock hoisted is

We have it from a competent author

stock pile aggregates over 10000 tons
and that this rock ought to show bet

is sent to the mill for treatment which
/ will be within a month.
Calumet & Arizona
Local officials of this property have
returned from their visit to the south

condition of the Calumet * Arizona

and are constantly opening new bodies
