Globe, ARK, Nov. 2-Recent devel-
opments in connection with the Inspi-
ration Copper company's affairs indi-
cate that plans for a 50Oo-ton concen-
traitor and for increased mining opera
tions are being made.
Several engineers from Denver have
just completed an examination of the
property for Hayden. Stone & company.
of Boston, Mass. in whose name 20o.-
900 shares Of treasury stock sold at par
value, or SO each, were recently pur-
chased.
One of the engineers Who made an
inspection of the property in the inter
est of Hayden. Stone l& company saws
that there is little question as TO the
erection of a mill capable of handling
5000 tons of ore every "a hours He
said further that the mine is apparent
" of sufficient magnitude and SO stu
ated for development that no trouble
should be experienced in making it
produce ample tonnage TO supply such
a contractor. He made the statement,
however that the building of a mill
will probably not be commenced until
late IN the winter or possibly early
spring
The location Of the concentration, a
mattor eff interest to the people Of this
district. has not so far as known, been
definitely decided upon
Development Continues.
Development work continues at the
Joe Bush Scorpion and Colorado shafts
and the churn drilling now under way
is constantly throwing more light on
the extent and nature of the ore body.
conservative estimate as to the total
tonnage which the company may be ex-
pected to have in readiness for extrac-
ton by the time the mill Is erected,
ranges from 100000 to 40.000.00e
tons, but at present such an estimate
must of course be predicated largely
on the results obtained IN prospecting
with churn drills.
Await Orders to Resume.
Although all work on the two groups

It has been virtually decided that the
first work will be done on the Cole
