Best Rock Encountered in Drift 100 Feet from
 Main Lateral
RICH STREAK IS
 OF GOOD WIDTH
Returns from Test Shipment Made to Fl Paso Will
 Attract Interest

The results of the development work at the Arizona Colorado mince since the new drift on the S00.foot level en- countered high grade ore last week have continued to be favorable. The point where the best ore was encoun- tered was in drift at distance of about 100 feet from the main crosscut on the S00.foOt level. This drift runs along a vein almost at right angles to | the main drift which follows the foot wall, and at the present time measures about twenty-one feet. The rich streak from which most of the high z ade ore has been taken in this short d.ift is between fifteen and eighteen inches wide and is showing greater width as the work progresses Praeti- cally all the work at present is being confined to the S00-fOot level. A cOntin- uance of development on the 900-foot level, however, is expected to bring ex- eellent results, as the drift from the | main crosscut there at a distance of 225 feet from the vertical shaft, is in ore. This drift measures about sixty ] feet.
 | Early last week q test shipment of ore from the drift on the s00-foot level was sent 10 the Fl Paso shelter. Need. less to say the returns from this ship. ment will be watched with intense in. terest by large number of people who have great confidence in the future of the Arizona Colorado property The re, suits of the shipment will, also, in all probability, largely determine the flu. ture policy of the management in re gard to the development work.
 An engineer who recently examined the Arizona Colorado property declares that the vein in which the ore is now being mined is a true Assure vein and may extend to great depth. The gen eral strike of this vein is northeast and southwest
 developments at the Arizona. Colorado mine in the course of the next few months will be attended by great sue cess. During the year 1909, many i'm portant results have been attained in developments on the Arizona Colorado property. Sinking of the shaft to the 900,foot point has explored the ground to a depth which is probably the great est attained by any workings in Globe district, geologically speaking. The lat eral work on the 900fOot level, con sistng of 300-foot crosscut to the southward and sixty-foot drift, driver east, has shown pretty eonclusively tho general position of the ore body. Muet credit for the good results now mani fest in the Arizona Colorado mine is due to Superintendent s. c. Phillips who has consistently and intelligently directed the operations of the Arizona Colorado property for the past tlreC years.
 | With a reasonable amount of explor atory work between the eighth and ninth levels, by means of winzes ol raises, the Arizona Colorado mine should prove to be a paying proposition, as much of the ore taken out has been of exceptionally high grade.
 President Homer Crumrine of the Ar. iZona- Colorado mine, who has spent Che past five or six weeks in Globe, left for his home in Washington, Pa, yes terday. MT. Crumrine expressed him self, before his departure, as being very much pleased with the recent favor able returns from the underground de velopment at the mine. Mr. Crumrine will probably return to Globe in about a month.
