NEW DRIFTS ARE
BOTH IN GOOD ORE
Inspiration Development Is
Pushed; $50 Men Employ
ed; Strikes in Iron Cap

Globe, Ariz.. March 22.-At the Su-
periOr and Boston, two drifts are be-
ing driven east and west on the sixth
level The drift west Is in 80 feet,
the one east IS feet with full faces
OF ore IN both drifts The vein is over
40 feet wide and is ore bearing for
the entire distance with IS feet of
ore that averages better than seven
per cent along the fOOtwau side, and
% feet Of ore on the hanging that will
probably run two and One-half TO three
per cent copper. The ledge is a big.
strong, wide, permanent ledge. The
sixth level east drift will connect with
the raise from the eighth level in
about so feet. The ore still continues
in the raise and will average better
than seven per cent copper.
A car or ore per day from the raise
and the sixth level drifts is being
shipped to the FL Paso shelter It is
proposed to continue the cross cut on
the. fourth level to strike the ledge
This cross cut will serve mainly the
two purposes, first the determination
Of the height OF the ore body, and
second to provide ventilation.
The cross cut on the 10th and 18th
levels should encounter this vein with
in the next two or three weeks Min
