Tramway Shaft in Operation.

A Butte, Mont, special says that the Butte Coalition company has be- gun the use of the new Tramway shaft and hoist for mining operations in the Minnie Healey and a portion of the Rarus mine. The Tramway vein will also be mined through the new shaft. The shaft is something more than l,6OO feet deep, and will be sunk deeper, while mining is going on in the 18th, I4th and 10th levels. The l6th level is being opened from the Tramway through Tramway ground and into the Minnie Healey.
 With the operation of the new hoist the output of the company, which is now from 1000 to 1,200 tons of ore per day, will be increased gradually until, a few months hence, at least 2,5OO tons will be hoisted daily.
 The new surface plant at the Tram way is one of the largest and best in the Butte district and was designed to serve largely for all the operations in the Rarus-Minnie Healey group of mines, including the Tramway and | Snohomish mines, in which the COali- tion owns controlling interests. The new engine is capable of hoisting the seven-ton skip load from a depth of $500 feet. It is equipped with drums | I2 feet in diameter, and one and half ] inch steel round ropes are used. The plant includes a large boiler house with equipment, carpenter shop, hoist ing engine building, miners change house, sanitarily constructed, with hot and cold water aud shower baths, cap able of accommodating 1,50O miners machine shops, warehouses, office build ings, etc.: steel head frame 92 feet high to the sheaves, etc, In addition to the large hoisting engine, another engine of good size is in use for sink ing and lowering supplies and hand ling the men through the third com partment of the shaft.
 Some wonderful results have beer brought about by the development O the 18th, I4th and 10th levels, and vii be duplicated on the l6th. They have practically made new mine out O the Minnie Healey. The 18th level i: 60 feet below the lowest of the olC workings on the 1, ll0 foot level, anC that 60 feet of ground will be left there as a barrier against the fire and ga' prevailing on the upper levels.
 Much ore has been opened on tho 18th level. and fully 50 per cent of i is first-class. The vein is said to b' more than B feet wide there, bu more than dozen other veins of vary ing sizes have been opened on tha level, the smallest being about foul feet wide and full of ore assaying 7 per cent copper. Similar conditions prevail on the l4th level, where th' veins have been opened extensively b, crosscuts and drifts. On the l,5OO foo level the largest vein opened Is more than 50 feet wide and B feet of it i of fine grade of ore. Another veil is ? feet wide and carries considerable . glance. On the l6uh level the frs good ore has been found in the Tram way vein, there being more than x feet of good commercial ore In It.

cananea Smelter Resumes Full Work.

A pleasing and surprising sequel to the driving of the gold spike on the con pletion of the Cananea-NOgales branch If the Yaqui River road, was the blowing in of the two idle furnaces at the Cananea shelter, which put the entire plant into operation for the first time in about year. After driv- ing the spike in the railroad track, Gov. Torres proceeded with officers of the mining company and few invited guests to the smeker, where the gov ernor formally blew in the two fur naces by pressing button which had been prepared for the occasion. The starting of the two additional furnaces at the smelter was wholly unexpected by the public, as with characteristic secrecy, the officers of the company had not made their intentions known. This will add almost 90 per cent to the output of the shelter and will be of great benefit to Cananea and all the -South-Western Mines.

F. s. Hoyt, of F. s. Hoyt & Co.,, now operating a cyanide plant on the tailings of the old Silver King mine, was a visitor at the Blade Tribune sanctum Wednesday. They have been successfully operating the plant for several months past and are now pre- pairing to increase the capacity of the plant from 30 to 50 tons at charge. Mir. Hoyt stated that he is making an extraction of 9S and 2-1O per cent of the silver values of these old tailings, and is making a good profit. The tail ings average about los per ton and there are nine thousand tons to be treated yet. Different persons have tried to successfully treat these tail ings during the past, by various leach ing processes, but all failed till Mir. Hoyt took hold of the matter. He Is master of the cyanide prOcess.-Flor- ence Blade.

A fine specimen of sulphide ore, as- saying about 20 per cent copper, and weighing about one hundred pounds. was brought in last night by Frank Ewing from Lyons canyon, about tif- teen miles southwest of Globe. The ore is from a recent strike on the Copper Sulphide group, owned by Ly- man C. Woods and Ike Elliott, the strike having been made in a tunnel following the ledge, at depth of about 8 feet. It is one of the finest speci- mems of sulphide ore brought to town for several months, being very similar to the sulphide from the Gibson mine, and shows considerable peacock copper. The ledge is a strong one and at the surface shows width of fully twelve feet. There are five claims in the group, which is situated about one mile and a half southeast of the Inde- pendence mine, and two miles south east of the Cole mine.-GlObe Silv r Belt.

The Shannon Copper company, which corporation recently secured the Weaver mining claim, situated in the Greenlee district above Clifton, has established quite a camp and is now working a good force of men on the property. Several years ago Mir. Wea- yer struck some good ore on the prop- erty, but the grade of the ore was not high enough to work on a small scale. While there is no big showing ye', the Shannon company is almost certain to develop a good property. Sever l mining engineers have reported on the property and the company is doing it's work upon firsU-class advice. The entering of the Shannon into that sec tion of the district means a great deal for individuals owning property in that neighborhood and if development work on the Weaver claims proves success ful, there will be considerable activity in the upper country.-COpper Era.

Our Large Territory.

A White River correspondent of southern Arizona paper says that: Hundreds of people living in Arizona do not realize the extent or size of the territory. A few comparisons will suffice many of the old settlers. The eastern border is 399 miles long, and the north boundary 2s5 miles. The longest line running east and west across the territory just north of Pima county and terminating at Yuma on the Colorado river.
 The territory contains 113,02O square miles. Arizona would make ninety four Rhode Islands, or fifty six Dela- wares, or nine Marylands, or three h. dianas, or two Illinois. It is larger than England, Wales and Ireland com bined or greater than the combined area of Denmark, Greece, Portugal and Belgium, with enough land left to make two and one-half Rhode Islands.
