(From Iron Ore.D

Superior & Pittsburg has been at tracting considerable attention of laCe due to the fact that it has shown it's ability to make dividends, the equiys, lent to putting it in the dividend clas..
 By the first Of next month the com, pany's assets will equal it's indebted ness.
 It is now earning at the rate O. about S100e00 monthly.
 And this in the face of a low cop per price.
 It is making it's pound of metal at about cents.
 It is in addition carrying on an i'm. mense work both above and below ground.
 It is developing new ore bodies as operations progress. and it has shown that it is legitimate, successful ell. terprise.
 Some people hase so consistently insisted that the company could not win that even now they are trying to discredit the true condition at the mine and on the books. That makes very little difference with the con. ducting of the enterprise, as the lat. ter is going forward forcefully and intelligently, all those connected with it being in accord, and all feeling ju- bilant that such an excellent perform ance is being achieved.
 Iron Ore has always maintained that Superior & Pittsburg would make one of the greatest copper mines in the country and We have no reason to change that opinion. It couldn't very well help being such. Any person with ordinary intelligence could have made similar prediction, and would have meant it, had he noted the location of the property with reference to the big producers of the Bisbee camp. 1t had every char acteristic of great property. It was directly in the track of the big, rich ore deposits of the camp. was near enough to insure high mineralizatign by the same forces which had place d the treasure in the Copper Queen and Calumet & Arizona ground, it had all the surface indications, the same rocks, with the same strike dip and pitch: the same leached ore areas. There was nothing to it but to open uP the rocks. That wasn't so easy as to guess about the mineral But the company had the right sort of timber in the people who were at the head of its affairs. They made the greatest fight of the camp in proving their diagnosis, and only for them Superior & Pittsburg would long ago have given uB the struggle and pulled away from Bisbee. 1t not only took cour- age. but dollars. No poor outfit could have conducted the work fer thirty days. It proves the value of associa- tion with men of grit and who com mand capital enough to carry theIr plans to finish. It is conceded they are miners. They are excellent judges of locations, and they make every move count There is a great satis- faction in being connected with such people for those who desire to as sociate themselves with real miners. and it is the real miner who viii count in the struggle for success.
 Superior & Pittsburg. as We have recently stated, has not yet fairly commenced the opening of it's mineral lands. Thus far it has been spending it's money and time in the task of preparation. First. the water has been lifted from the great basin. This mas been done to such an extent that m q. ing can now go ahead freely. Thl shafts may be sunk and new levels opened. Heretofore this could not Sn accomplished due to the great local lake which occupied a considerable extent Of country and was located in the heart of the ore-bearing rocks uf that section. Where the rocks per mitted the storage Of water they also made place for the solutions which carried the copper. In our Lake Su, perior country we often meet very heavy water flow when large deposits of hematfte are tapped, and the ore occurrence here is not unlike that at Bisbee, both being the product ,f dispositions from percOlating waters.
