Inspiration Go.
 Awards Big Contract.

A Globe dispatch says:-The con- tract for the railroad construction at the Inspiration Consolidated mines has been let to McArthur Brothers, one of the foremost firms of contractors and railroad builders in the United States, and work will probably be started within the next two or three weeks.
 The rate of development work at the Inspiration mine is continually in- creasing and IS now about 45OO feet per month.
 The two main working shafts are being sunk at the rate of about i've feet day. The first haulage level, 90 feet below the tunnel level, is being opened up by drifting at many diff ferent points, the ore being hoisted through the Joe Bush shaft, and stations and ore. pockets are being cut at this level, in the Scorpion and Colo rado shafts, after which development of the ore body will proceed through these shafts also.
 An incline is being driven from the main tunnel to the surface and after the surface is reached a hoist will be erected and the incline sunk to the haulage levels. It is designed to be used exclusively for men. tim Der and supplies, which will be taken through the main tunnel and then down the incline shaft to the haulage levels.
 The Arizona Eastern railroad will be extended from the town of Miami up Keystone Gulch to the new steel warehouse at the portal of the Inspira- tion tunnel and all tim Der and supplies for use in the mine will be conveye d over this road and enter the mine through this tunnel, so that the shafts may be used exclusively for the hoist ing of ore.
 At the Live Oak mine. a pumping station is being cut at the ll60-foot level in No. shaft and steel head IS uCluS CICCtCu dU 1NO. 1 SIdII after which the sinking of that shaft will be continued.
 After these shafts are equipped, the blocking out of the ore body by drifts and raises will begin.
 The Sulphide tunnel is being wid. ened to ' l-2 feet and will be double- tracked and equipE ed for electric haulage.
 Summarizing, the ore bodies are being attacked through nine openings, namely, two working shafts, five de. velopment shafts and two tunnels. The task of bringing the mines to the point where they can produce 5000 tons of ore per day is an enormous one, and is now fairly started. Many miles of drifts and raises will have to be driven and during this period there will be ample time to finish the con- centrator and other construction work, so there is no need of haste in that direction.

Precious Metals Mines.

It is reported that the Wallapai
 Precious Metals mines company is
 soon to begin active work on its prop
 critics, situated between the Golcopda
 and Tub mines, on the north, and the
 De la Fountaine mines on the south.
 The group consists of five claims.
 known as the Western Scene, Noun.
 tain Top, New Comstock, Side Hill,
 and Hill Side View. These claims es-
 pecially the Hill Side View, carry the
 great veins that have made the Col conda and Tub mines famous as the
 producers of the most ideal zinc ores ever shipped out of the southwest.
 The veins that make the Tub, Col conda and dc la Fountaine mines are among the largest and most prominent in the county, being traceable from the Wallapai valley to far north Of the Gro Plata, miles in distance. At no point on the great vein is there barren spot. so far as can be ascertain. ed, but on the other hand lenses of ore in places run high in silver, while at other points is to be found exception. ally high grade lead and zinc. On the Golconda are three veins, one carry- ing rich zinc, the other lead and the third carrying values in gold and cop- per. As these veins run to the south of the Golconda they pass into the group owned by the Wallapai Precious metals company, and practically all have been opened by shaft, open cut or adit drift. The Hill Side View has been opened to depth of over fifty feet and exposes the big vein of the group, which carries values ia zinc, indicative of the Golconda vein. On the mountain, to the east crosscut has been started with the objective of cutting one of the rich gold and cop- per bearing veins. Along the out crop shafts have been sunk and some wonderfully rich gold ore was extract SN SouhO yodio dSo. DoGWe0u tne | Western scene lode on the east to the Hill Side View, on the west, the country is gridironed with veins, and all carrying values in various metals. The company has large gasoline holster that is to be placed on the mines right away and the shaft of the Hill Side View sunk to considerable depth below the water level. The other veins are also to be developed according to their merits by shafts and crosscut tunnels.
 The group of claims is one of the most promising in the district and | with the development carried to a point below the water level it is to be reasonably expected that it will be- come large shipper of zinc, gold and silver. The management of the con- pany has been in the hands of George w. Gibson, d we'll known Denver min. ing engineer, who will probably as- sume the future management of the property.

Made One of Most Beautiful and
Spectacular Descents in His

The directors of the Rock Island
Exposition company in meeting held
last night in the Rock Island club,
completed a lease with the Belgian
aviator, ". DeJonckheere, for a two
days exhibition Of flights 10 be held at
Exposition park May 1919, or in event
the flights can not be arranged for
that date, week later, May 1926. De
Jonckheere is the only Belgian in the
aviation field and flies in a mono
plane. All other aviators who have
made flights in this vicinity have used
either biplanes or hydroaeroplanes
and the new type of machine TO be
used here should prove novel and an
attraction of interest The aviator has
been flying in a monoplane for two
years, and is famous throughout Eur
ope. His appearance in Rock Island
will be his third in this country. He
made a series of successful flights at
the navy yards in Philadelphia, and
week ago at I4aSalle. His altitude rec
ord is 5000 feet
The enterprise is not fostered by
the exposition company. but the park
has been leased outright to the aviator
and his manager. The flights should
prove unique and exceptional. De-
Jonckheere is regarded as a hero, par
ticularly among the people of his own
nationality. He has won fame through
his wonderful achievements in the air
Is BEAUTIFUL SIGHT.
Possibly the most beautiful and
spectacular flight recorded in the his
tory OF aviation is that which DeJonck-
here made at Philadelphia when he
circled over the navy yards to an alti-
tude OF 5000 feet just as dusk was en-
shrouding the earth in it's cOlors. AT
ter he had been lost 10 sight, the avia-
