Miami. Ariz. Oct. 1.-THE Inspira-

a number of raises in underground
workings and sublevels have been
started in the Colorado orebody, max
ing it seem certain that this will be
worked in the same manner as the Joe
Bush orebody, which is being blocked
out on the Ohio caving system. Work
is being rushed in the drift on the sixth

amount of ore that will be lifted
through them when all the Inspiration,
and maybe the Live Oak, will be drawn
on through the two main hosting
shafts.
Rapid progress is being made with
the concrete pouring at the coarse
crushing plant site. All of the ma
chinery for the crushing plant that will
supply the test mill with its 500 tons
daily is now at the Scorpion shaft,
whence the ore will be taken. The
test mill is nearing completion.
Superintendent Webster, of the Amer
