inspiration Copper Company.

Tn order to determine the exact limits of it's ore body the lnsplration Consolidated Copper company has started two more raises on me lhlrd ! level of the Scorpion. This company Is trying to do as much development work as possible in waste until such lime As the new test mill is put into operation and it expects to then work In ore and thus feed the test from de- velopment work At the present time there is no connection between the Incline and Scorpion shafts on the 9th level However, d haulage drift Is being rapidly driven and as soon as completed all waste from the 6OO' foot level of the Scorpion will be hauled to the Incline shaft. dumped into the pocket and hauled out through the tunnel on the third level, the reason for this being that on account Of the fact that as soon as the fill between the railroad and the dormitOry in h. spiraton camp has been finished. there will be no more room around the Scorpion shaft for waste, and besides, this waste is vary badly needed at the portal of the tunnel for the purpose of filling in around the machine shop and saw mill. Filling around the latter place has been in progress for several months. but is in no way near com pletion at the present time.
 Drifting continues in 90 ? east to the south, and also in drifts II } north. and 46 l-2 north to the west. Work is also in progress in drift 3s l.4 north, S9 east, to the Southwest, Raise 30 l-2 north 93 east, went into ore 65 feet above the fourth level Drifting continues north toward che main shaft on the fourth level. There only remains about no feet to bt driven, and this connection should be made about the middle of October This drift will be driven directly tC the north until it reaches the centeI line between the main east and yves shafts, being fifty feet from each shaft and then a station will be cut for eacl of the main shafts.
 On the 9th level progress in tn drift to the main shaft is exceedlngl slow on account of the soft and shattel ed ground which, Tn it's present ur drained condition, is exceedingly di tcult to support when an opening
 made through it. The station drift the 9th level of the Incline shaf which at the present time is two se wide, is advancing at the rate of abo' five feet per day. In the Colorado ol body good progress i, being made wit the haulage drifts and sub-levels, ar as soon as these have advanced su ticiently large number of worklr raises will be commenced.
 There Is such scarcity of hous around the Inspiration property tn the American Bridge company h bought number of the portah houses. winch will be set up in u Warrior Camp and will soon be cupied by steel workers. The actu erection of steel on the warehouse ar rachlne shop at the concentrator si was started on the 24th instant. T last of the concrete work on | storage bins near the main shafts W finished on the evening of the 23 instant, and already steel is on | ground and it is expected that er' tion will be started about October fir This steel is being unlOaded ve systematically, each column bel numbered and same, together with sheet steel is being placed on ground opposite the point where
 will be used on the bins and, wf hoisted. will be convenient for placil Globe Record.
