here as at any place east of the main
ore body. so that on the 600 foot level,
which will be the first to be de-
veloped from the McGaw Shaft, there
is every reason to anticipate a body
of commercial ore 600 TO 200 feet
long.
The intermediate level was advanced
151 feet on the ore shoot and the east
y mineralized; the west end connect
ing with the Black Hawk workings
OF the Arizona Commercial Copper
Company.
From the intermediate level the two
compartment winze .continued in ore
where a drift 46 feet long was run in
ore, shown by actual liquidation sheets
from the FL Paso smelter, to average
14.S7 per cent. copper. This ore has
continued to the bottom of the wlnze
now ia feet below the 400 foot level.
Short drifts AZ and 81 feet east and
west respectively were run on the vein
before it was decided to centralize
work at the McGaw Shaft for the more
economical working of the ore body.
These facts and figures are given as
justification for the purchase of the
Collins Doyle group of claims and the
sinking of the larger shaft. In a
special circular letter under date
March 29th, 1909. / advocated. that the
options then held on these claims be
exercised and outline plans for the
further development of the property.
The McGaw shaft, three compart-
ments, was 52S feet deep at the close
of the fiscal year. Recent advices from
the mines are to the effect that the
GOO foot level station is being cut and
prosecuting to the Great Eastern ore
body will be diligently pushed for
ward, which will enable us to MAIN
tain n steady output On this level
the vein will be thoroughly exploited,
and firmly believe that a much long
er ore shoot will be continued to the
Sth. 10th and 18th levels so that larger
ore reserves may be blocked out. The
oXidized character of the vein filling on
the 9Th level indicates that we are but
richment and high grade ore will be
mined to a greater depth than antici-
pated in my last annual report. AS
corroborative evidence of this fact,

pany who are down 100 feet deeper

the oxidized zone carrying secondarilly
enriched ore. 1t is highly probable that
even at 1000 feet, the transition from
the oxidized to the chalcocite zone will
not be complete. This promises well
for the future of Superior and Boston.
! on the 400-foot level a crosscut was
run to cut the so-called old Dominion
vein. At this level the vein is % feet
wide but completely leached. / anti

will carry concentrating pyrte ores

development of this vein will be carri-
ed on at the 6O0-foot level, where it is
hoped additional ore reserves will be

To the Directors,
Superior and Boston Copper Co,
Houghton, Michigan:
Gentlemen:
| respectfully submit for your con-
sideration the following report of pro-
gress in the development of the proper
ty of the Superior and Boston Copper
Company, for the fiscal year ending
September 80, 1909. Much has been
accomplished many problems solved
and knowledge gained since the issu-
ance of my last annual report; the
Black Hawk vein has been further
developed both in our property, and
at greater depth, in the Arizona Com
mercial Copper Company's mines I'M
mediately adjoining with most salts
has steadily increased in value to the
lowest workings of the Great Eastern
Mine
1t was not considered advisable to
continue shipments of ore from the
Great Eastern Mine. even though rea-
sonable freight rates and treatment
charges were obtainable, because OF
the unavoidable high mining cost when
working through the Great Eastern
shaft and the possibility of obtaining
letter rates from the new smelter OF
the Arizona Commercial Copper Com
pany. A broad plan of development
was outlined and has been pursued
whereby we shall be able, shortly, to
handle a larger tonnage more economic
caly. The sinking OF the McGaw
Shaft has been carried on expeditions
ly; 1t has been well and fully equipped
with modern efficient machinery and
on connection with the Great Eastern
workings, lower grade ore than that
already mined can be handled at
profit. The sinking OF this shaft has
necessarily delayed production on
+ larger scale, but with the prices Tor
copper prevailing during the past year
the policy has been a wise one. In
three years the Superior and Boston

take rank among the important pro-
ducers of the Southwest. Plans for
the early development of the Old Do

approach to the ore body in the Gard

of new ore bodies i'm either or both the
