creek box canyon, mile from superior.
As the concrete foundations for the
towers are laid a road gang carries
along a four foot trail, building IL at
a wagon grade; and slight widening or
the trail in the future viii transform II
into an excellent wagon road 1llllng
in the gap between Irons ranch ana
the town of Superior and thus placing
Globe. Miami, Superior, Florence and
all the intermediate towns and min
ing camps on a direct line OF cOmmunl-
cation, beside bringing Kay and VI
cinity into closer relation with the Nj
ami mining district When the electric
transmission line reaches Superior II
may be considered feasible to build a
branch line to the Calumet and Arl-
iona property, two and One-half miles
south, whence a Transmission line LEADS
to Winkelman, where the power is gen
Grated With such arrangement tenn

c. & A. Gets Water.
At the Calumet and Arizona south OF
Superior, the shaft is now below the
400 foot depth and a station is being
cut at that point for the installation OF
q pump, the shaft having developed a
flow of 10000 gallons of water every
q hours during the past month Light
er drills have been abandoned and pls-
ton drills installed IN their place
The tunnel is now $50 feet long The
shaft and tunnel viii be connected IN
a few days by drifting now in progress
The power transmitted from Winkel-
man Is Steadler Of late, the Original
difficulties OF transmission being
gradually overcome by constant watch
fitness and adaptation to original con-
ditiOns- The line includes 81 towers,
the longest span being over 1900 feet
Rich Silver King Ore.
At the Silver King. north of Superior,
Vol I'm % Hsa
taking out some excellent silver and
copper ore, the latter mainly in the
form of tetrahedrite- Because of lack
of pumping facilities they are limited
to work above the water level, 20 feet
from the surface. Recent assays from q
depth Of 20 feet went as high as 100
ounces Of silver and % percent copper
Although unusually rich the ore occurs
in narrow veins, but several feet be-
low the present water level the veins
ore Of much greater width, and are eN-
pected to furnish a fair output of metal
once arrangements for partial unTa-
tcring of the mine have been made
Near the Silver King the old Fortuna
is being worked on a small scale and
yielding small shipments of ore OF a
nature similar TO that of the former.
Magmn Receives Truck
The Magma is working about 40
miners and is still keeping its bins
filled with high grade chalcOcite ore,
but maintains its usual taciturn policy
except as to shipping receipts One or
the two trucks ordered by the COM
pany has arrived, and is being used in
the haul between here and Florence.
Powers GuIch Strike.
A recent report of a strike of great
richness in Powers gulch seems not to
be borne out by subsequent investigation
Beaudelaire. who brought the ore to
Globe where assays showed values OF
100 ounces silver and about $500 gold,
did not claim, as reported, that he had
any quantity of the ore, which was a
small picked sample.
