ACTIVITY IN GLOBE
DISTRICT INCREASES
Underground Workings in
Miami Shaft to Be Ready
When Mil Starts.

OlODe, AIlZ.s JAN Z0-"1ne unQeI-
ground workings of the Miami Copper
company have reached a point where
with a very little more work the mine
will be in readiness to begin production
and as it seems improbable at this time
that the concentration will be finished
for at least. three weeks there will not
be any delay from underground when
once the mill begins operation. It is
estimated that when the mill starts
about 400 tons a day will be hoisted
from the main haulage level, the re-.
naming 1900 tons, to make up the dali
" capacity, will be taken from the
stock piles at both the No and No
4 shafts. This stock accumulated in
the course of mining operations attend
ant upon the blocking out of the ore
and the preparation of the mine for
production.
Activity at Inspiration.
In the sinking of the Joe Buch shaft,
on the property Of the Inspiration Cop
per company, the 500 foot level was
reached during the past week and
work was started at once in cutting a
large station. The Colorado shaft of
this company is down 5S5 feet. It
will be necessary to sink this shaft 80
feet further to reach a. depth CORES
ponding to the 500 foot level Of the
Buch shaft, as the Colorado shaft is
on much higher ground. Large sta
lions will be cut on this level in both
shafts, as it is the intention of the
company to install its main haulage
system on this. level
New timber framing shed and car
penter shop are being erected close
to rne mouth Of the Joe Buch tunnel
Work is also being started on an adj
dition to the power house The Arizona
p ocxo
building an extension of its road from
the town of Miami to the Inspiration
property.
OF the five churn drills employed
on the property Of the Live Oak De-
velopment company, four started drill
ing new holes the first of the week
Churn drill hole No. A, which was
started last week, is down 225 feet
and is still in the surface Gaping Hole
No. 35 was discontinued at 400 feet,
the drill having gone through the ore
body. In drill hole No. AZ, which was
sunk 1900 feet south Of the shaft, the
drill went through 800 feet Of ore,
striking the main ore body at As feet
and continuing to 345 feet. Drilling was
stopped in hole No. 43 at $40 feet and
in drill hole No Al at $50 feet. The re-
suits in both of these holes were very
satisfactory. With the exception of
hole No. SS. which was sunk to
depth Of 900 feet and in which the
drill was still in ore when drilling was
stopped, hole No. Al is the deepest hole
that has been sunk in the Miami dis
trict-
Ore Shipments Increase.
The shipments Of ore from the War
rior Development company have been
increased from 100 tons to 125 tons a
day Since the first Of the month the
Warrior company has been making
shipment to the smelter at FL Paso.
1t is expected that churn drilling
will be started in the very near future
on the property of the Arizona Cana
nea company, the churn drills having
been moved to the eastern end of the
Montezuma group. adjoining the Live
Oak company. This property was
formerly owned by the Boston Miami
company. and is located a short dis
lance west Of the Miami townsite.
Arizona Michigan Company.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Michigan COM
pany will be held in Globe shortly and
it will then be determined what further
exploration work will be carried on. It
is expected that drilling will be start
ed. as bids have been received for the
sinking Of diamond drill holes.
Exploration work by the use of dia-
mond drills is being done on the prop
erty Of the Superior and Globe Cop
per company. The drills are working
on the $50 foot level and one hole is
being driven downward and the other
horizontally northward
1t is expected that the north and
south stations which are being cut on
the 1000 foot leved, in the McGaw
shaft Of the Superior and Boston Cop
per company. will be completed about
the middle of the month. AS soon as
these stations are completed, cross
cut will be started to the west to get
into the ore body that was found on
the sixth level, and in which the drift
on the eighth level is just getting into.
The cutting of a raise 425 feet directly
west Of the McGaw shaft. on the 500
foot level, was started during the past
week.
