Arizona Southwestern Copper Com

1 A large number of stockholders of the Arizona Southwestern Copper con- pany were in Kingman this week from Kansas, Pennsylvania and Colorado, having been brought here by the an- nual meeting of the company, which was held at the Commercial Hotel last Wednesday afternoon. The gentle men, with the exception of c. Hoff- man, visited the company's mines at Copperville and Holy Moses mines, south of kingman. They all appeared to be pleased with the condition of the mines and have agreed on an aggress. i've policy of development. At the meeting of the stockholders the fol- lowing gentlemen were elected on the board for the ensuing year: E. J. Mischler, Pittsburg, Pa.; w. G. Laid ley, Uniontown, Pa.; R. H. Weber, Kansas City, Mo-; Fred Hessel, Kear- ney, Mo-: J. H. Hoffman, Pueblo, Col. C. Hotfman, Enterprise, Kas.: L. Hotf- man, Kingman, Arizona. After the adjournment of the stockholders meet ing the newly elected directors met and elected the following officers: Fred Hessel, president; L. Hoffman, vice president and manager; J. H.. Hoffman, secretary and treasurer.
 During the past two years this con- pany has done large amount of work on the company's mines at Copper vile. A three-cOmpartments shaft has been carried down 300 feet under great difficulties: large holster and pump ing plant has been installed on the mines and the property exploited to a large extent on each of the three lev els. A tunnel was driven from the surface of the canyon to the main shaft, which it tapped at depth of 80 feet below the collar after driving in POS feet. This drift was carried in 476 feet beyond the shaft, making a total for the adit of 6S4 feet. Numer- ous crosscuts were made across the vein in this drift and some nice ore bodies were encountered. One of the ore bodies showed an unbroken length of 100 feet, while there were many smaller streaks throughout the level. This ore returned high values in gold, silver, lead and copper. At the POO lnual lpift ,tf It was at this point that large flow of water was struck and d larger pump had to be installed, During the in. stallation of this plant the miners were put to work on the Pittsburg shaft, which was carried down 100 feet. Some good lead ore was found in this work At the completion of work on the Pittsburg shaft the new pump was installed and the shaft on the Siamese carried to the 300 The drift from this level is now in 112 feet south, where a How of water was encountered that taxed the capacity of the pump and an accident to the pumping gear caused the suspension of work until repairs can be made. The breast of this drift was in excellent copper ore when work was stopped, the shoot found on the 80 foot level having just been entered and from which the heavy flow of wa ter came. It is expected that the wa. Ger will be overcome in few days and the work of driving ahead on this level will be carried on with vigor. The mine is under charge of Thomas McGraw, one of the best managers in the county. The vein is one of the largest in the Cedar district and shows wonderful large outcrop of mineralized quartz. The district is copper bearing, many large veins showing throughout that section.
 Wednesday evening the stockhold- CTS departed to their homes by way of Los Angeles and other Pacific coast points.
