Eleventh and Twelfth Drill Holes Being Sunk on the
 Captain Claim
PUSHING PROSPECT
 WORKINGS RAPIDLY
Concentrator Frame Nearly Done and Machinery Be-
 ing Installed

As virtually all of the work on and above the 420-foot haulage level has been completed at the Miami mine, op- eratons are now being confined largely to the 570-foot haulage level, which is the second one to be established. At this depth, station has been cut and the driving of drift from shaft No. 4 to the ore body 700 feet distant has been begun. The equipment of this haulage level will be similar to that of the level already established at depth of APO feet. On both levels motor car system will be installed for hauling the ore from the various stopes to the shaft. Above the 420.foot level, the final work of blocking out the ore is being done on a couple of the sub-lev- els. The management s records show that during the week ending May ', 722 feet of drifting were accomplished. ably swift progress in development maintained by the Miami Copper com pany since the beginning of operations IS being sustained.
 On the northwest part of the proper ty, the churn drills are sinking the elev- enth and twelfth holes on the Captain claim. As has been the case in the un- derground work, the company, by means of the thorough working system it has evolved, is furthering the work of prospection at rapid rate.
 ContemporaneOus with the under ground and churn drill work, the man. agement is carrying forward the con struction of its large plant at pace which gives assurance that all will be in readiness for treating large tonnages of ore before the end of the present year. The steel frame of the concentra- tor is practically done and some of the machinery for its interior equipment has arrived. The long line of eighteen inch pipe, which will conduct the water from the pumping station at the june tion of Pinal Creek and Miami Wash, where the company owns the McLain ranch, has been almost wholly laid, but it is not likely that it will be put into use until the concentrator is ready to operate.
 Nearly all the machinery needed for the equipment of the new power-house and hoisting plant is on the ground, ready for installation. As enough cottages have been built to accommodate the present force work. ing for the Miami Copper company, most of the carpenters formerly en. gagged in this work have been laid off A recreation hall, however, is now un. der construction on the summit over. looking Miami Flat. This hall will be constructed at the company's expense to enhance the social advantages of its employees. The hall will be thor. oughly provided with reading matter and pool tables, and when completely furnished will probably be turned over to the Young Men s Christian associa. tion.
 The headquarters of the company $ management, the general mine offices and the engineering and drafting de, partments have been established in the new, two-story office building erected just east of the officials mess house The management and the general office force is occupying the ground floor while the engineers and draughtsmen have been given occupation of the upper story. The building is handsome ly finished, both on the outside and in the interior and is notworthy addition to the company's camp, as there is no mine office in the district equally we'll constructed and equipped.
