Enough Ore Development Work Has Been Done AN ENORMOUS TONNAGE
D. c. Jackling Says There
 Are 10000 Tons on the Stock Pile Awaiting Com pletion of the Shelter at Hayden-Globe District.

That the Ray Consolidated property | with it's SO.000. .O00. or more. tons of 1 copper ore, is now in a position to | ease up a bit from an ore develop | ment standpoint. is vouched for by | D. C Jackling. general manager Of ! the company, who has returned to | his Salt Lake headquarters from his | regular monthly visit of inspection : to the mine. No new churn drilling, ! therefore. is being done. the manage ment confining it's drilling operations ! to the ground containing what is termed practically developed ore to | bring it into the actually developed ! or blocked class.
 ! The Ray management. says Mir | Jackling, is doing over 1000 feet of | underground development work per | month. which results in the steady | extraction of approximately 1000 tons
 or ore a day which is added to the
 stockpie. where about 12O.000 tons of
 ore await the completion of the con 1 centrator. This ore is extracted with | out the permanent mine equipment. | and the temporary mine equipment
 may be called upon to provide the ! food for the first section or two of the mill. although the officials hope l that the permanent mine equipment l will be installed by the time the mill is ready for operation.
 In development way. splendid ! progress is being done. and much Of the equipment is arriving. The main
 mill building is completed, one-half
 of the concrete floor is in. and the machinery for the initial two sections ! is now being set into position. The power plant building has been com pleted. and at least two engines will be ready for work by January 18th ! or February 1st.
 The Ray officials are to resume construction work more actively at the company smelter. the equipment ! for which is now in process of con struction There is no disposition. however. to hurry the smelter work to completion. The company figures that the mill will hardly be produc- ing a sufficient quantity of copper concentrates at first to justify the blowing in of the smelter, but this
 shelter should be ready with at least two reverberatOry furnaces by the middle of 1911
 Superior 6 Boston.
 The developments on the property of the Superior X Boston Copper company during the past two weeks have been probably the most inn
 portant for some time. says the Sl- yer Belt. The continued development
 on the eight level in the drift par alleling the Great Eastern vein has
 resulted in obtaining showing that
 is regarded as extremely favorable
 for the developing Of a large ore
 body. The first encouragement was
 given when two weeks ago a vein of
 ore from six to eight inches wide
 was encountered that assayed from
 four to six per cent copper. During
 the past week the face of this drift
 has been almost continually in ore.
 the last round of holes showing the
 full face of the drift in a rich iron
 matter containing considerable copper
 glance and cuprite From every in
 dication it would seem that with a
 little further development along this
 vein a permanent body of ore VIII
 be found. The drift in which this ore is being encountered is almost
 directly beneath the place where the
 high grade ore was found on the
 level above.
 Gold Road Mines to be Sold.
 The united States Mining. Smelt- ing and Refining company has taken an option to purchase the great Gold
 Road mine and mill. and Wednesday last A. W. Hewitt and assistant. D. D. Muir. and twenty men arrived in
 I.
 where the work of sampling the property will be entered upon. ac- cording to the Mohave County Miner
 MT. Hewitt is chief of the field di- vision. having charge of all new work Of the company. It is estimated that 1t will take more than a month to complete the work of sampling and testing out the great property and should it hOIu up to representations it will be taken over at a price ap- proXimated at S5.000,0 The mine is said toghave over 5000. GOO tons of milling ore in sight and that a small amount of work will add largely to this tonnage. The mill has q capac- ity above 20 tons of ore daily and 1 the average monthly output is above ] S6O.000 In the event of the new l company taking over the property it ! is more than a probability that a | new plant will be put in to handle | tonnage of one thousand or more | tons daily. The option runs for but 1 short time and the United States | people will rush the work of sam | bling. Mir. Hewitt is understood to | he one of the best men in the busi- ness and when ba Oatc fhrottUh uritI, the work his company may be as- sured of correct report on all that | there is in sight in the mine.
