Globe-Superior and Boston is con-
tinuing to make shipments of ore, av-
eraging per cent or better I'm copper,
at the rate of so tons daily. Nearly
all this ore is stopped from the Great
Eastern vein on the 600-foot level, but
some of ii is obtained from the Black
Oxide tunnel near the Gardner shaft,
where leasers are extracting material
averaging about per cent copper and
having o high iron content. AS the
Arizona Eastern II. r. is now building
a spur to the McGaw shaft, the 5. &
Il. mine should be equipped with eX-
celent shipping facilities within two
months. There is a great deal of tres
tie work to be done. so it is not likely
that the spur will be completed until
July. At present the S. & b. is ship
ping its ore to the Old Dominion
smelter by the way of the Arizona
Commercial railway.
The McGaw shaft, which will be the
main warking shaft of the $. & B.
mine. from which the various levels
will be established has been sunk 13O
feet below the sixth level At a point
112 feet below the sixth, station sets
were put i'm preparatory to establish
ing the seventh level at that depth. 1t
have reached the eighth level by July
first, and at that time the ore body
will be opened at that depth. The west
winze at the Gardner workings has
been sunk 95 feet below the 400-foot
level. where drifting first developed
an extensive body of high grade ore.
This winze has been continuously in
ore from its starting point to the bot
tom, thus indicating the vertical ex-
tent of the ore which makes the future
of this part of the mine most promis-
ing. In sinking this winze a small
hoist is being used and as soon as
this winZe is sunk to sufficient depth
the hoist will be removed to the east
winze already put down on the vein
to depth of 46 feet, 125 feet distant.
Ely, Nevada-The Nevada Cons. is
having its banner month in the output
OF ore, which is being easily handled
at the concentration 1t is now expect
ed that the output of copper will be
the best since the company commenc~
ed operations. For two months past
the company has been doing churn
drill work on its Sunset claim, south
of the Hidden Treasure group, and the
report has been made that the sulphide
zone was struck at a depth of from 60
TO 200 feet and that the ore will aver
age about Z per cent i'm copper con-
tent The holes have been drilled from
20 to 80 feet apart over considerable
section of the claim.
Recently another drill has been put
TO work on the Jupiter claim still fur
ther south and east. Three holes have
been put down and IL is said that they
are all in ore of high grade. The
ground on either claim is ideal for
stripping for steam shovel work. Steel
has been laid to tho liberty claim on
the western end of the company's es-
tate. and the ground cleared ready for
the steam shovels to commence strip |
ping the ground. but the shovels have
not yet arrived. II is understood that
this work will not commence until lat |
ter i'm the season.
The News Bureau says: The dec
laration of the quarterly dividend of
the c. & III. company Is little over |
due. but until the return of Messrs |
shaw e. AggaIsslz, who are now at the
action on the dividend will be deferred |
on February % the directors ordered n |
of So per share, but in
Wow OF the decline in copper. IL is not
at all impossible that n smaller dis
trihution will be ordered at this time
