Inspiration Has Big Force.

Inspiration Consolidated is employ ing over 800 men in and around the mines and contractors under McAr- thur Brothers are employing about 25O men in railroad construction.
 Development of the Inspiration mine continues at the rate of nearly mile a month and new inclined shaft has been started which will connect with the Inspiration tunnel and will be used for lowering men and timbers below the tunnel level. The tunnel will be the means of ingress and eg- ress for the miners and all supplie s used in the mines.
 At the Live Oak mine, sinking of No. shaft continues, and the shaft is now about 5SO feet deep. At No. ? shaft drifts are being driven east and west on the 57O foot level. The east drift will connect with No. l shaft, over 2,OOO feet distant. The widening of the sulphide tunnel has been finish ed for over 575 feet from the portal.
 A steam shovel and large force of men are at work on the spur to the millsite and main shafts, and another force is engaged in building the ex- tension of the main line up Keystone Gulch to the Inspiration tunnel and the Live Oak mine.-Copper Era.

Big Ore Bodies Being
 Opened Up.

w. J. Rouse of the Marion mine is in town this week and is feeling very much pleased with the showing at that property.
 The hoist has been set up at the No. shaft, which is located in about the center of the ledge. The shaft is double compartment and is down about 55 feet. A drift has been run in a northeasterly direction on the ledge for 60 feet, and a crosscut from the bottom of the shaft, which is in about B feet, has not gone through the ore as yet. The workings are all in ore. An average sampling across Tn the older workings gave values of 7$ per ton. Values in the workings at the new shaft gave from 3.5O$ to 7S aver age, with occasional samples of higher grade, some running 9O$ per ton.
 The work is being pushed ahead very rapidly, power air line having been carried a distance of 800 feet to the new shaft, and large machine drills are used, breaking ahead about four feet shift. It is proposed to continue the lateral work at the present level until the extent of the ore body is de, termined, and then sinking will be re. sumed, with laterals at proper inter- vals to open up the ore in good shape. This property is opened up by four shafts, the deepest of which is 300 feet. The showing in the new work. ings is improving rapidly, although all the workings show an immense body of ore. It is expected that the work in the new shaft will open up good sized body of pay ore. The ore is free milling. Water has been encountered in the new shaft, although not large amount.
 Mr. Rouse is at the present time sampling the mine Tn a systematic manner, and the nature of the work in the future will depend upon the re- suits of this sampling, but there is no question that development work is going to be carried ahead on this prop. erty in the vigorous and intelligent manner Tn which it has proceeded In the past, and it is believed that before long there will be enough ore in sight to warrant reduction plant and put this property in the producer class Searchlight Bulletin.
