ARIZONA MICHIGAN
Possibilities for Future Ore Bodies
Are Generally Brighter.

The situation at the property of the
Arizona Michigan people has improv-
ed greatly i'm the past week as far as
the probabilities of future ore is con-
cerned, says the Globe Silver Belt. A
then continuing in five places was cut
down to the sinking of the winze on
the 500 foot level of the Telfair shaft.
This cut out entirely the workings at
the Blackbird shaft and left the cross
cut north on the 400-foot level about
ninety feet from the shaft and the
south crosscut on the same level about
sixty feet in length.
The Blackbird shaft is now at a
depth of Asa feet. A contract was
then let for the sinking of a winze on
the foot wall side of the vein at the
500 foot workings of the Tefair shaft
and this winze is now at a depth of
has been in ledge matter with about
twenty-five feet of the same material
between IL and the hanging wall The
ground has been heavily iron stained
throughout and at a point about fifty
feet from the collar n small Offset
fault occurred throwing the vein four
or five feet to the north. At this point
a bunch of copper carbonate ore &C.
Cured mixed in with the iron and
from this point to the bottom of the
winze to date the same patches of car
Donate have continued.
To say that the situation never looks
better for future ore is to call down
the wrath of a weary lot of investiga-
tors but it must be remembered that
at no point in the development of the
Arizona Michigan property has before
shown copper naturalization and the
specular hemitite that is supposed to
be a forerunner of lower copper sui
phides. In the drift east on the vein
the same conditions obtained for the
last ten feet. The foot wall of the vein
makes one side of the drift and this
wall shows considerable movement
and 1t is here that the carbonate ores
have been found. punches of speculai
hemitite, almost pure occur plastereo
between the layers of shattered shale
and the conditions as a whole are very
aptly comparable to those obtaining
| in the upper and lower workings of the
National property. 1t will be remem'
| bered that those conditions did mo-
lead into a lot of shipping ore on that
| property. 1t seems scarcely probable
in the light of past development and
according to geological logic that an,
ores of commercial grade and quaint
| ty will occur above the water level IN
the Arizona Michigan property. Thu
phenomena of secondary enrichmen
has a chance to take place and the
ore will naturally If found be of the
| oxides and carbonates. The VIM
above mentioned Is just getting dow
to the point where a little water !:
beginning to seep in and in n few fee
IL is probable that water level will b
reached. When that point comes tn
indications are such above as to max
the occurrence of copper ores reason
ably certain.
The winze is at present being sun
by means of a windlass operated b
hand. 1t is the intention OF the man
egement to install electric power fror
the Arizona Commercial or to max
some arrangements with the Superic
and Boston people for the furnishin
of enough air to run a small hoist a
this winze. BY the aid of good siz
bucket the water encountered 1 ndept
