(Paradise Record.1

Capt. John A. Duncan, who not long ago purchased J. A. Cardwell $ interest in the Taylor copper prop erty near Wood canyon. visited that property last week.
 The the Record man he stated lat CT that within ten days the neces- sary material would be shipped m to the vicinity of the property for the establishment of a camp there This camp will be used for his own and for the entertain ment of mining men and others who may in the future be his guests while visiting the property.
 This is taken to mean. as, in fact 1t does mean. that Capt. Duncan ex- poets soon to show over the propprty capitalists who are to come for the purpose of making investment if leased. It Is his wish to develop the property thoroughly. and such work would require more capital than he desires to expend in addition to the requirements of his other hold ings here. which are very large. So although he has the greatest of faith in the group. it is his intention to interest others in the proposed devel opment work. Hence the establish ment of the camp near Wood canyon.
 Development will be done. but not for some time as certain preliminar. ies must be accomplished first.
 Duncan.
 Following the arrival Of Cant. John A. Duncan. who came Saturday. two more miners were put to work on his property Monday morning by Super intendent Mcclellan. There are now three men at work.
 Two miners will work in the tun- mel on the Comanche Chief claim where the rich lead strike was made about two weeks ago. and the .nird will do assessment work on an ad joining claim.
 The ore at the scene of the strike continues to look about the same as ever. Evidently the drift is being run along the ton of the ore. for, though the face is still in ore. the vein now does not appear to extend above the top of the tunnel. But the ore still continues to extend down ward and as the face is yet all in ore. 1t is plain that the vein or de posit is promising as to size.
 It is planned to continue the drift to a connection with a 112foot in. clined shaft. some 40 feet distant and thus secure better air than the tunnel has at present, and at the same time develop one dimension. at least. of the vein or deposit-length. By that time some decision as to a future plan of work may be made. It is probable that a wirze will be sunk on the ore.
 So far as surface indications 20 it may be said that this ore was not expected. But there are some iron croppings fifty feet distant. and it was towards this point that the drift was being run Ore was hoped for but was not expected so soon. And copper was sought-not lead.
 Capt. Duncan stated thv the strike would be thoroughly developed by him.. as large force as necessary be ing put on for the purpose. He was much pleased to learn of the strike, as are all Of his friends here. who know how faithfully he has continued work on this group for several years.
 When last heard from the drift was still in full face of ore. As the tunnel is being run on top of the ore. there is no telling how much ore there really is, but the strike is daily increasing in importance and there is a chance that 1t will prove to be sonething big. the depth fI00 feetl being sufficient it is thought for a good sized deposit of this class of ore.
