MAKING THINGS
HUM At GIROUX
Men in Charge of This Ely
Property ECIipSing Records
for Quick Work.

Ever since identification Of the Cole
Ryan interests with the Giroux be-
came known, the habit of these people
of doing big things quickly and thor
oughly has been large factor IN en-
tHuSiasm concerning the future of the
property North Butte, Calumet &
Arizona and Greene Cananea have been
referred TO as showing some OF the
latest and best mining and smelling
operations in the history Of the copper
industry. and those familiar with this
work have had no hesitancy in deciar-
ing the COle-Ryan management in
GirOux would bring about no less mar
velous records in this camp, says the
White Pine News.
To these there will unquestionably
be much satisfaction in the record
made during May by Captain Hogan
formerly of Butte, who is now in
charge of the underground work for
General Superintendent Mills. Cap
tain Hogan in May made 353 feet IN
lime in the south drift from the LOO
level of the Alpha shaft. a record that
distances anything ever before made In
the district in similar ground, and that
is believed to stand at the top in cop
per mining in the country. If there Is
another camp with a better record II
Is not known here. And il is the sort
Of work that has been going on in ali
departments at the GirOuX, and that is
TO be kept up straight ahead. 1t means
a great deal 10 the district. and a great
deal 70 Giroux stockholders. for it will
bring a producing, dividend-earning
mine in minimum time.
New Shaft Work.
The 353 feet of work on the 1000 in
May put the drift in $50 feet from the
station, where il stands in barren
ground and far enough removed
from the ore zone to make it certain
that the big main working shaft can
be located here without danger from
future injury by movement Of The
ore. In consequence they are TO COM
mence raising at once. and today or
tomorrow Will be going upward from
the drift with the big work which
five large compartments means. Very
fortunately they escaped cutting 2
water vein in the drifting and are
consequently free from the prospect
of wet work I'm making the raise. II
is expected that the capacity of the
Alpha shaft will be taxed TO the limit
| in taking care Of the dirt from the
upraise from the 1000 and the work
from the 700 level, where the drift is
/ being crowded to the barren ground

matter of water look much easier.
Six Drills Going.

these are locating the ore around TIL

there is a great deal more in this prop

by the workings from that shaft. Thes
drills are practically blocking out tn
ore bodies. and they are meeting witt
