SUPERIOR B GLB0E DEVELOPMENT
 EXTENDED
Exploratory Drifts Driven 400 Feet on Level at
 $50 Feet

The usual exploratory work is con stantly extending the underground workings of the Superior X Globe min eral land and adding to the understand ing of the general formation. The spec ial feature of the development work consists of that which is opening for inspection the fault vein north of the shaft, at which location the work is be- ing concentrated.
 Since encountering the fault several weeks ago, the exploratory drifts have been extended for a distance of over 400 feet at the 65O-foot level. Al though the fault is flied with an OK idized naturalization, the iron content has prcdominated throughout, while no copper naturalization occurs in the faulted ground. In the country rock, however. more or less copper sulphides were discovered during the earlier stages of development work, both in the shaft and at the level. This fact, combined with the OXidiZed condition of the fauitcd ground, appears as a suggestion of a deeper copper deposit, the iron oxide of this being the gossan or capping of the underlying ore body. The management has drilled to explore the fault at greater depth, and a wirze from the 650-foot level has been sunk for several feet, with the idea of ascertaining the nature of the fault filling below. Although sinking has not been resumed in the shaft, this will probably follow at later date, as the shaft at the present depth appears to be in the leached zone and therefore is not likely to be productive of cop per naturalization. The surface plant IS ample for deeper sinking, a new hoist having been recently installed with sixty horsepower. A compressor Oper- ates the air drills

LOUIS bERNDT OUT ON STREETS But Litte Worse for Fiery Ordeal of Number of
 Weeks Ago

With skin like that of new born babe adOrning his features, yet without disfiglIrement from the terrible ordeal through which he passed, Louis Berndt of the Globe bakery, who was badly burned by blazing roofing paint sever al weeks ago, made his appearance on the streets yesterday.
 Berndt s wounds have healed to a great extent, although his hands, lips, eyebrows and other portions of his body are not as yet entirely covered with a growth of new epidermis. His eyes were uninjured by the flames and with in a short time he will have completely recovered
 Berndt was burned by falling into the contents of can of blazing roofing paint, having fallen with the fiery mix ture and into the mass of flames when he ripped over the door step as he was carrying the burning paint from his kitchen. His burns were at first con sidered fatal but after many weeks of suffering in the hospital he survived the effects of the accident.
