Globe. Ariz., Oct SIN September,
the Miami Copper company mined and

concentrates that will yield about p
100000 pounds of fine copper. The
mill recovery was about 20 percent

The main east shaft at the Inspira-
ton Consolidated mines was 800 feeC
deep on October l and the main west
shaft 435 feet deep and sinking con-
tinues steadily. Development work at
the Inspiration mine IS confined al
most entirely to opening up the first
haulage level and $500 feet were done
in September comparing with 1900 feet
for August, the decrease being due
to the fact that much of the Septem-
Der work consisted in widening to
working size and timbering the drifts
previously driven. There was an
actual increase in the amount of work
done, there being now 240 men work
ing underground. At the Live Oak

$40 foot level continues, No. 1 shaft is
being sunk, and the Sulphide tunnel
is being Widened for electric haulage-
