SHOWING MADE ON GLOBE
 PROPERTY PLEASING

GLOBE, Ariz., Nov. 16.-W. G. Rice of Houghton, Mich, president of the Superior and Boston Mining com pany, arrived in Globe Thursday and made a thorough inspection of the various workings of the Superior and Boston properties Friday. He seemed sighly pleased with the showings made at the mine both in the surface works and the underground developments.
 The station is now cut on the seventh level in the McGaw shaft, and crosseutting to the Great Eastern vein will be started at once. At the same time they will crosscut from the winze of the crosscut on the 400 level which also cuts the same ledge. This will result in the connection of the two crosscuts. At the present time the company will not drift north to cut the Old Dominion foult which lies in close proximity to the McGraw shaft. They will begin hoisting ore within the next week which will be stacked upon the dump, pending the completion of the new Arizona Com mercial line, which is now building, or they may perhaps extend the line now going to within a few hundred feet of their property, and ship their ore to the Arizona Commercial com pany shelter. It has not as yet been decided upon which plan will be adopted. In addition to the work in the McGraw fourth level of the Gard ner shaft, and from the rapid change in the character of the ground it is thought that there will be important developments of ore very shortly.
 Considerable water is expected in the near future as the crosscut is pushed farther, and to that end prepa- rations are now being made to install 1000 gallon station pump on the 700 level. The new change room which was started some few days ago, is now completed and has ample &C., commodations for 100 men.
 The latest advices from the Du- quense mine is that the ore is becom- ing richer in values with develop ment, and the occurrence of eommer- cial sulphide copper ore is also be- coming more frequent. An examina- tion was made of this property a few days ago by engineers and in their report, they state that the entire strata of dacite followed by an oxi- dized formation is overlaying a body of copper. A tunnel is now being driven west from the bottom of the gulch to cut into the ledge of gold bearing ore, and it is the intention of the management to upraise to the upper tunnel where the ore has its best values so far as has been de- velOped. The ore in this tunnel runs an average of $3O per ton, and values much higher than this have been taken out. The ledge in the upper tunnel is about two feet wide, and gives every indication of widening with depth, and the values have are higher and it is very reasonable to believe that they will continue to increase. At the point where the up- raise will be started the tunnel will have reached a depth of 200 feet. So far in the development of the lower tunnel no ore of any great value has been encountered, but the formation is that of highly mineralized forma- tiOn, and is getting better as the tun- mel goes in.
 Several surface improvements are being made. Three new cottages have recently been erected and several more are under course of erection in addition to the houses for the men, a boarding house has been built and the ground cleared for other improve ments. The mine is now shipping ore to the smelter and the mine is paying the expenses of development from its own reSourees
