ARIZONA MICHIGAN.
Prospects Better With Completion Of
LARGE Volume of Work.


Large Volume of Work.
Development work AT the Arizona,
Michigan property for the past mont
has been very satisfactory both from
the standpoint of speed and of exploi.
tation, says the Globe Silver Belt. II
must be remembered that no machinC
drills are used on the property. That
all the work is done with hand steel
that gasoline is used for hoisting
purposes, and that i'm the case of the
Telfair crosscut workings, the dirt
has TO be trammed a distance Of 1900
feet. This crosscut has progressed a
distance Of IL feet i'm the past thirty
days and is now 1.246 feet from the
shaft
During this period development
work has been started i'm three sepa-
rate places besides being continued in
the Blackbird shaft and the southeast
Telfair crossuct on the foot wall
side of the vein in the Telfair cross
cut a winze has just been started
which is down at present a distance
of thirteen feet For this il was nee
essary to cut a station and this work
has been completed and is well tim
bercd. The Wine is inclined with the
dip OF the vein. about sixty degrees
and will be continued in depth for at
least 100 feet. II is to be thoroughly
timberod and Jagged and put in a con-
dition that would allow of ore extrac-
tion If it should become necessary i'm
the future. a small hoist will be in
stalled in the future when a depth is
gained TO warrant it,
At the same time II was decided 10
sink this Wine, the management |
thought II advisable To- drift both |
ways on the foot wall side of the vein |
from the crosscut. These drifts are |
now well under way and have pro- |
crossed a distance of twenty feet or
so on either side of the crosscut. In
the east drift a few feet beyond the
shaft several punches of carbonate
ores were discovered and present in
dications seem to point TO this drift
as being more favorable to the speedy
discovery Of copper values.
All of the development work at the
Telfair shaft is being done under
contract which amounts to from Sc
TO IS a foot for the prosecuting and
drifting and S12 foot for the first
ten days work on the winze.
In running the crosscut the formation
changed at a point 1874 feet from the
shaft and it was thought this was the

the crosscut has progressed through
the vein and clear cut foot wall is
in evidence 1924 feet from the shaft
the width of the vein may be traced
back and found to amount to about
thirty five feet. The ground beyond
the hanging wall is very much shat
.tered and this eonditisn-led- to the be-
lief that it was vein matter. The
hanging wall side OF the veins Is a
very siliceous shale the bedding
planes of which dip into the vein. The
foot wall side is badly broken and iron
stained quartizite and the face of the
rrosscut is in this formation.
At the Blackbird shaft the monthly
progress has amounted to thirty
three feet and work has been discon-
inucd for twenty days The cross
cut north at the 400 level has pro-
crossed a distance Of thirty three feet
N the past month and the south
.rosscut which has been running for }
he last twenty days only ISL at a
distance OF thirty-four feet from the !

lone under contract.
There is little doubt now but that
