Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-04-20

one of the best mines in that part of the district, having large and high grade ore body partially developed.
 West of the Inspiration, J. D. and J. B. Coplen of Globe and E. T. Wilder of Kansas City own a large group of claims, which will be developed. A shaft has already been started and is down about 50 feet.
 The American Banner Copper com pany and Rose Consolidated Copper company have good properties near the Miami.
 Gibson Mine Has Rich Ore
 News was received from the Gibson mine Saturday that the ore struck week ago on the 400-foot level was growing in size and richness. Drifting and crosscutting has disclosed the ore along the footwall for Is feet and for 12 feet in width. Two feet of this ore (which is chalcopyrite) runs from 25 per cent to 30 per cent copper, and ten feet averages about per cent. This is different orc body from that opened DN iut NiuLc bNiON tHt fOO-lOOJ lCNCl. With two high-gradc ore bodies to de velop, the Gibson mine should soon again resume the phenomenal produc- tion for which it was formerly noted.
 Arizona Commercial
 At the Eureka shaft the big station pump is in place on the 600-foot level and the work of putting in the water column was to have been finished yes terday. The unwatering of the shaft below the 600foot level will be the work of only few days. At the Black Hawk the winze has reached a depth of 110 feet below the 450-foot level and is in a very good grade of carbonate ore. This ore shoot is known to extend eastward 300 feet to the line of the Great Eastern claim of the Su- perior & Boston and in all probability will be found to be continuous in the direction of the Eureka shaft, and with in very short time drift will be started from the Eureka shaft on the 600-foot level to connect with the Black Hawk winze. The developments of the next few months on the Black Hawk mine should prove very impor tant.
 Superior & Boston
 The Superior & Boston is making good progress with the development of its fine property. The McGaw shaft is being rapidly opened and will be com pleted to the 400-foot level by July l. The Great Eastern winze is down l50 feet below the 100 level and is still in ore that rans II per cent or bet ter in copper and about l2 ounces in silver to the ton. Ore shipments to. the Fl Paso shelter continue. Consulting Engineer F. H. Probert arrived from Los Angeles Saturday night and viii remain several days.
 The Arizona Michigan is making good headway in sinking its shaft, which has reached depth of 250 feet General Manager s. W. Clawson has returned to Los Angeles.
 The Superior & Globe is down 150 feet with their shaft and stringers of iron are beginning to come in.
 Castle Dome
 Work on the Castle Dome property, lying just southwest of the Continental in Gold Gulch and on Porphyry noun tain is progressing nicely.
 A cross cut from the bottom of two hundred foot shaft on the property shows fifty feet of good mineralized ground with good grade of concentrat- ing ores.
 The contact with the porphyry has been reached with the cross cut at Q distance of over sixty feet from the bottom of the shaft, and has disclosed a sulphide ore carrying good values in copper, iron and sulphur.
 From the end of the cross cut, at the contact, drifting is being done along the contact and is developing large. body of concentrating ore
 From the developments on this level, it is demonstrated that with depth the property will produce an immense ton mage of good ore.
 Mir. O. C. Scott who is in charge of the work on the property is highly elat- ed over the showing and recent devel- opment
 MT. P. II. Finnegan of Calumet, Mich igan, the fiscal agent of the company, was on the property few days ago and is well pleased with it and plenty of capital will be furnished to exploit and operate the property on large scale.
