Doubles the Yield

Tennessee Valley Fertilizer Co.
Florence, Ala.
I used fertilizer bought Of you on
my own land, and it has given the
best satisfaction. l can say it will
pay any one to use it, whether the
land is rich or poor. When prop
erly used it will pay for itself several
times ever, and on thin land it will
double the yield.

Some ludicrous experiences were

The daily newspaper there is about
three DAYS late. A railroad, the

i, trains on this road are the SLOW

hours time is required to run a train
from Helena to Snow Lake, a dis

It would have perhaps amused al
most any spectator to have observed
1.-The writer and Mr.. Brown preparing
q to get into a Skiff to cross the mighty
mississippi. Undoubtedly the in.
sNterogatories propounded as to the
:. safety of the boat, the experience OF

interesting. There are many places
that furnish a greater solace of mind
than to be midway on the MissisSiQpi

ZINC NOT HURTFUL ID FLUX|NG OF
 ORE BODY
Arizona Colorado Is Rapid ly Preparing to Go on List
 of Producers

The Arizona-ColoradO Copper Belt & Gold Mining X Milling Company, whose property lies about two miles north of the Old Dominion smelting plant. is di- recting its energies toward placing its mine in position to produce ore Pres
 dent Homer Crumrine is making an ex. tensive visit in Globe, with view to outlining future policy and to putting the Arizona Colorado upon sound oper. ative basis. A few weeks ago, after the crosscut leading south from the shaft on the 900-foot level had been run for distance of 300pfeet, drift was driven at that depth on the same vein which was opened by similar workings on the S00-foot level. This drift is about sixty feet long and has opened the vein sufficiently to show that prac- tieally the same copper values prevail there as have already been developed on the level above. It was formerly sup- posed by the management of the Ari- zona-Colorado mine that the eighth level ore contained enough zine to make its smelting difficult. The recent operations at a depth of 800 feet, however. have opened the ore body more fully and have revealed the encouraging fact that the zine first encountered was simply

ries more copper and sulphur. The teamss notwithstanding the muddy con. dition of the roads in that district, are hauling the usual tonnages of ore to the Miami railroad station for shipment to the Fl Paso shelter, where the com. pany has its ore treated.
 During the next week two Star churn drills will be set at work on the war rior property for the purpose of pros pecting certain portions of the ground hitherto unexplored. With the help of these drills, the work of determining the extent of the ore bodies on the War rior property will be greatly facilitated and it is likely that the present daily shipments of about seventy-fve tons of ore will be increased in the future.
 The exploratory work, which has been of principal interest to the management. has blocked out considerable ore that could be mined if the management so desired. Superintendent A. Bell has charge of the work at this mine and also of that at the Cordova and Live Oak properties in the same district, but lying to the west. Shipments averag. ing seventyfve tons daily continue to be made from the Warrior mine to the Fl Paso shelter.

INSPIRATION MAKES

Will Soon Begin Crosscut on 675-Foot Level of
 Scorpion Shaft

The development work on the propor. ty of the Inspiration Copper company IS being carried on as vigorously as usual. Crosscutting at the 275-foot ley. el of the Scorpion shaft will be begrp in "a few days, upon the completion of the station cutting at that level. Tho 'new lS5 H. P. Sullivan eompressor to be installed in Keystone gulch for rss in connection with the tunnel work there is expected to arrive soon and will be installed immediately upon iii, arrival at the property. The two Star churn drills which have been used since early last spring are still being em. ployed in prospecting the company, property. More than twenty of tbesa drills have been put down to depths ranging from 400 to 900 feet below tba surface. These drills have been pro,. pecting the copper belt lying between the territory being developed by tbo Scorpion shaft of this company and the property of the Cordova Copper com. pany to the southward.

WILLIAMS SHAFT |S STILL IN LIME
 FORMATION
Same Character of Rock as Preceded Ore Discovery
 in Eureka Shaft

The -magnesia formation encoun- tered at the depth of 3s5 feet in the Williams shaft of the National Mining Exploration property at Copper Hill still prevails at the present depth of 432 feet. The 40 feet of this formation through which the shaft has been sunk have shown fairly uniform texture, but of rather impure limestone The continuance of the copper stain in the shaft work is encouraging for the de- velopment of copper ore at greater depth and this is expected within the next few weeks. Superintendent II. w. Woodward of the National Mining Ex- ploration property has force of about twenty-five men engaged in the under. ground and surface work. Sinking is going forward at the rate of fully twen. ty feet a week on the average.
 An interesting fact in connection with the development work now being done at the National Mining Exploration mine is the nature of the formations through which the Eureka shaft of the adjoining Arizona Commercial property passed before encountering the two sep. arate ore bodies which have yielded commercial grades of copper to supply the shelter during the past few months. An examination of the Eureka shaft shows that previous to the finding of the first ore body, caleerous formation was encountered and that after the shaft had passed through this first ore deposit a second stratum of limestone was pen. etrated and under this the second ore body was developed.
 It IS not unreasonable to suppose that the Williams shaft will develop very much the same conditions as those pre-. vailing at the Eureka shaft, and, of course, if such is the case, Globe dis. trict will number one more producer among her already proven mines.

STAR CHURN DRILLS ON THE BOSTON
 MA|MI
Twenty Men in Charge of Superintendent Hoar Now
 at Property

The prospecting work at the Boston.
 Miami property in the southwestern part of the Miami district is being satisfactorily accomplished by means of the two Star churn drills which have been employed for the past month. These machines are boring into the schlst formation of that district at the rapid rate of forty feet per twenty four hours at both scenes of activity.
 Four holes have been put down so far to depths ranging from four to six hundred feet with pleasing results. al though the exact condition of the un- deriving formation has not been made public as yet. The fifth drill hole will be started in few days, all road work having been completed to the new posi- tion of the drill now located on the fourth hole. The rapid drilling being done on this property is very gratifying to the management, as the best location for working shaft must be determined before the development work by means of shafts and tunnels can be begun.
 About twenty men are employed on the property doing the necessary prelim- mary work for the actual sinking oper. ations. F. w. HOar of Globe, who is experimenting this work, is watching the developments of this property with the keenest interest.

ASSESSMENT WORK
 COMPLETED
Crosscut to Telfair Lode on Arizona Michigan Now in
 Softer Ground

The development of the Arizona Mich igan property has been going on at the usual rate during the past week. The south crosscut which is being driven to develop the Telfair lode has reached the 3iO-foot mark with litle change of the ground other than a softening of the diorite which, for the greater part of its length, was of unusual hardness. As has been the condition since this crosscut was first started, considerable pyrite is found in the rock, and since passing through the oxidized zone en. eountered two weeks ago, the work has been in this formation. The north cross. cut, since reaching the distance of 3O5 feet from the shaft, has been in con. glomerate containing quartz boulders.
 Superintendent N. A. Nelson has twenty-five men employed in the cross cutting and assessment work. The lat ter work, which has been going on for several weeks, will be discontinued in few days, the amount required for the group of twenty claims having been completed

has had from four to six men steadily employed in extending a tunnel which, at the time the property was taken un- der lease, was 330 feet long. The tunnel now measures slightly over $50 feet and at the S50-foot point has struck the hematitc mentioned above. A consid- erable quantity of this material has since been taken from the tunnel work ings and the dump has assumed de- cidedly reddish appearance as result.
 It is believed by the owners and oper- ators of the Mineral Farm property that the ledge just encountered by the tun- nel IS the Yuma vein, which the Old Dominion Copper Mining X Smelling company has already opened and mined at decided profit on it's mineral land adjoining that of the Globe Mining com. pany. lt was the prevailing belief un- til recently that the Yuma vein lay farther to the southwest, but the tun- mel work of the past two weeks seems to indicate pretty conclusively that this well known copper bearing ledge tray. erseS part of the Mineral Farm. Should this prove to be the case, the Globe Mining company's property un- doubtedly will soon assume the status of proven mine whose period of pro. duction should be long and lucrative. Needless to say, the developments in both the tunnel and the shaft work on the Mineral Farm during the next few weeks will be watched with keen inter. est by local mining men.

SEEKING BED ROCK FOR FOUNDATION
 IF BIG MILL

The foundation work for the concen trating plant at the Miami property is going rapidly forward. with the excep. tlon of part or that for the power house site. where the bedrock upon which the concrete work is to rest is at a greater distance from the surface of the ground than it is at other parts of the site. When the third churn drill has arrived, it may be put to work on this site to ascertain the depth and charac- ter of the bedrock at this point.
 The two Star churn drills which have already arrived at the property are in position for drilling the first holes and the management is anxiously awaiting the arrival of some of the tools which were delayed in shipping, so that the prospecting work can be begun. The first two drill holes will be put down m north and south line and only q lew hundred feet from the line of drill holes which the Inspiration com pany' s drills put down on it's property which adjOins that of the Miami Con. per company on the northern end.

SDPER|OR B GLOBE SOON ID BEGIN
 CROSSCUT
Development of Yuma Vein on This Property Is
 Watched With Interest

The station cutting on the 65O.foot level of the Superior & Globe shaft has about reached q point where crosscut ting can be begun. The station is about thirty feet long and with the force of twenty-eight men employed at the mine 1t probably will be possible to begin crosscutting soon. The station will be nine feet high. Up to the present time, the station has been cut for practically its full length and the initial work on one of the crOsscuts has been started. It IS not probable, however, that the eros cutting will be actually undertaken un- til the station is fully completed and the twenty-five foot stump contemplated is made.
 The driving of the south crosscut from the shaft of the Superior & Globe property will be watched with great in. terest by those interested in the deveI. Opment of the mine and also in the general geological formation of the sur rounding country, for among the things which it will very conclusively tell will be the productivity of the Yuma vein which has been traced in very satis- factory manner from the point where it has been prOfitably mined on the Old
  Dominion land to the vicinity of the Superior X Globe shaft. Should this vein prove rich in copper on the Super. TOT X Globe land, therefore, the owners of neighboring properties will have definite to guide them in de. velopment work.
 It IS considered not unlikely by some local mining men, also, that the cross cutting north and south from the Super l for X Globe shaft will open other lodes copper in commercial grades and quantities Two such lodges are dearly defined by surface outcroppinps north of the shaft at distance of a few hundred feet.
 The presence of chalcopyrite in the quartz veins found in the diabase in which the shaft was sunk seems to in. licate a considerable degree of minerali. .ation at depth and may presage the 'ncountering of q copper bearing ledge lear by.

MINERAL FARM HAS FORGE OF MEN
 AT WORK
Crosscutting from Fourth Level Will Be Started
 in Short Time

Judge J. r. Hechtman, president of the Globe Mining company, has had a small force of men at work bailing wa ter from the vertical shaft on the Min eral Farm property for the past two weeks and now has the shaft entirely Unwatered The shaft is 4l5 feet deep and at the 4OOfoOt point a level has been established. Crosscutting on the fourth level will soon be commenced. The crOsscut on which work will first be undertaken runs northwest from the shaft. The management plans to drive the crOsscut from fifty tO seventy five feet further, and it is believed that at this distance a copper bearing ledge will be opened. Several veins cut the country at distance of few hundred feet from the vertical shaft and. mdging from the surface contour of the country and the occurrence of the various out croppings in evidence of that part of Mineral Farm in the immediate vicinity of the shaft, valuable copper deposits should ultimately be encountered and prOftably mined.
 A development calculated to arouse more than ordinary interest in the oper- atOns now under way on the Mineral Farm is the striking of a lode rich in hematite on the Mineral Farm claim which, together with the Breach, frac. tional claim, is now being worked under lease by w. F.. Carter, we'll known local mining man. Farm over two weeks ago, Mir. Carter
