ORE OUTLOOK AT
5. & B. PROPERTY
BELIEVED BIG ORE BODIES WILL
BE FOUND ON THE EIGHTH
AND TENTH
LEVELS.

The continued development on the
Sth level OF the Superior q Boston
mine is obtaining showing which is
regarded as extremely favorable 10 the
existence OF a valuable ore body with
IN 1i0 feet of the present surface OF
the drift The figure mentioned has as
the basis for its use the fact that the
ore shipped so prohtably from the
sixth level above had its limit about
140 feet west from tho breast of the
DRIFT ON the eighth level and there is
no reason TO expect ore before the vein
is followed 90 that distance 10 the
westward The finding OF heavily cop
pcr-stained material associated with a
lenze of ore In the vein last week
came very much as a great surprise
90 the management which did not an
ticipate such a promising showing at
such an early stage
BY prosecuting. the vein has been
shown 10 be about 81 feet wide but
the copper stained material contain
ing some ore specimens running as
high as &c per cent copper has a width
Of approximately % feet, the rest OF
the 81 feet mentioned being taken up
the vein az the place where drifting is
now under way. BY this horse" the
vein is apparently divided into two
parts but evidently the horse" is
simply a lenz-shaped body which will
disappear as the work advances and
thus permit the two mineralized parts
OF the vein SO far developed 20 con-
verge into one. The lenze of ore from |
IA. Hs. g.F4 fr,a. 4
occurs on the foot-waI Of the Great !
Eastern vein. The finding Of such ma
terial consisting chiefly of oxdized /
ore containing some glance disproves /
the theory which some people have \
chosen TO entertain that the eighth |
level of the Superior & Boston mine /
must necessarily be barren for the rea-
son that prospecting at the Arizona T.
Commercial property has disclosed lit I
tie or no ore at that depth. II will 7
doubtless be remembered that the /
sixth level Of the Superior & Boston |
mine proved far more productive than I
did the same level OF the Arizona /
Commercial mine and that the SUI
perior q Boston Ore was of much high
er average grade. a geological cir
cumstance which somewhat upset any
cut and dried theories as To the COM
parative formations Of the two prop
critics
The drift on the Great Eastern vein
at the 500 foot level has now adj
Vanccd 50 feet from the intersect ton of 4
the crosscut from the McGaw shaft
with the vein. Drifting viii be con- /
tinuod rapidly TO explore further west I
ward.
The second drift being driven on the /
eighth level follows the Iron Ledge 1
fault. and with about l2O feet more Of /
driving, will reach the place above
which on ore body Of good commercial I
value was mined on the fourth level
This drift is already l7O feet long,
Perhaps the most important era OF
development that the Superior q Bos-
ton mine has entered upon thus far
will soon begin when the McGaw shaft,
which is now $50 feet deep, VIII reach
the 97O-foot mark at which the So
called tenth level will be established.
This level will correspond with the
tenth level of the Arizona Commercial
property where the collar of the Eure-
Ia shaft is some 80 feet higher than
is that of the McGaw. AS soon as the
tenth level IFS started. prosecuting To
the Great Eastern vein at that depth /
win be commenced and no reasonable \
doubt whatever can be entertained as /
To finding an ore body Of greater ex-
tent and richness than has been dew
elopcd anywhere on the property here
toforc Thus it seems that the Su-
perior Boston Copper company after
a period of construction and develop /
mcnt unsurpassed in intelligent man
agement and effective working meth
DDS by any other company in the /
Globe Miami district. is on the eve of /
acquiring greatly augmented prestige |
as producer Of copper ore among the /
various other properties of merit with |
in radius of ten miles Of Globe.
President William G. Rice and con-
sulting engineer Frank II. Probert are
now I'm Globe and are watching the
new development with interest. Both
are very much pleased with the en-
couraging trend Of the exploratory
work being carried on.
