The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1910-02-25

or blowing OF trumpetS, the subsidiary |
companies are proving their right To
be reckoned with. First comes the
Osceola, in a class by ITSELF with the
ability to produce copper up to any
reasonable amount and at a fair cost.
This mine made good as soon as il was
given the opportunity. To appreciate
the richness of Tamarack you need
only go into the Calumet mill, where
the rock is now being treated under
improved methods. There you will find
evidence that the copper is i'm the rock
and lots of IL, and that IL is being
kept i'm the MILL to a greater extent
than ever before. The Tamarack will
be a winner
Globe.-Two furnaces at the old Do
minion smelter are treating between
900 and 700 tons of ore daily. Nearly
all of this ore is being hoisted through
the "A" shaft. The average percent
age of copper is between 6 and Z. The
hoist at the "B" shaft and the Grey
shaft will be prepared for electrical
operation and eventually wires will be
run from the power house to the Buck
eye and Big Jennie claims, the Key
| stone shaft and other outlying ore pro-
| ducing claims of the United Globe
property adjoining the old Dominion
lands property.
| 1t is said that the Nevada Cons. Co.
has ordered three more steam shovels
from the Bucyrus people and that these
shovels will be put to work on the Lib
erty group, west of the present pile at
Copper Flat, as soon as received.
The sinking of two compartments of
the Giroux shaft has reached a depth
of so feet below the 1,000-foot level.
The shaft is still i'm hard lime and is
entirely dry.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Osceola will be held at
1890 a. m. on March 10.
North Butte has recently been acting
very much better. The public seems
, to believe that it has seen its worst
days and are willing to step in around
these levels.
Salt Lake.-The feature of the week
i'm Utah mining circles was. the action
of the Utah Cons. stock on the eastern
markets and the consequent gossip in
regard to it. The company during the
past year has been making ore ship
ments to the American Smelling COM
pany at Garfield at the rate of 500 tons
a day and no one for a moment stopped
to question the earnings of the com
pany. 1t now appears, however, that
the contracts under which the ore was
purchased was by no means a favora-
BILE one and there has been consider
able loss occasioned the company as a
consequence.
The Chief Cons. shaft. is now at
the 1,700-foot level, en- route to the L.
500.
Butte.-Wth the majority of mines
of this district either hosting ore OIL
y preparing to do so. operations which
were seriously crippled by the walk
y out of the striking hosting engineers
are rapidly approaching normal.
Globe.-The second churn drill hole
on the Eureka group of the Cordovs
, property has struck sulphide copper a
a depth of 60 feet. This hole is 55(
feet east of the first churn drill loca-
ton where about 800 feet of sulphdC
> ore was encountered.
The force of approximately 500 mer
employed by the Miami Copper com
pany is advancing the underground
and construction work at a remarkabl!
rapid rate. The advances in evidence
: there week to week are surprising
:, The results obtained by the well regu
- lated working system of this compan!
are nothing short of phenomenal. Shat
No. 4, through which all will be re
; ceived in the future, has been sunk t
=. depth of SAC feet i'm a conglomerat
formation. Sinking is progressing a
the rate of about 20 feet weekly. TIL
" main foundation of the new hoistinl
plant at shaft No. has been begun.
The Williams shaft of the Nationa
: Mining & Exp. Co. is 557 feet deep AM
for the last six feet has been i'm blacl
y shale. formation similar to that en-
countered in the Eureka shaft of tn
:, Arizona.
