PINTO COPPER

Work has been commenced on the new 300 foot shaft on the property of the Pinto Copper company, by the Cae- tus Development company, which holds an option on that property, and satis- factory progress is being made in the shaft.
 The new shaft, a double compartment affair, is now down to depth of about seventyfve feet. As the ore body in that section of the country lies at a considerable depth, nothing in the way of strike is expected for some time.
 The property is considered to be a very promising one as is shown by the performance of the stock on the local market, which has advanced from 10 cents to p cents within the past few months.
 Copper glance of good quality has been found on adjoining properties and it is predicted that the stock will see a much greater increase in the near future.
