WIDTH OF H0ITSON
ORE BODY 50 FEET
Is One Of the Richest Of Re
cent Discoveries in the
Bisbee District.

Bfsbee. Ariz-- March The width
Of the recently discovered ore body In
the HOatsOn shaft Of the Calumet and
Arizona has been determined and has
been found to be s. feet running into
the waste at that width The ore body
one Of the richest discoveries me dc
recently in the district, is located on
the 1900 foot level The company is
now cross cutting the body and has
gone 25 feet without finding a sign OF
the end Of the ore. This ore body IS
nigh grade and is a valuable find as It
stands.
In the Briggs shaft work is now go
ing on so feet below the 400 foot
level with the new sinking that is
taking the shaft to the 1900 foot level
The work has progressed sufficiently
on the 400 foot Level to 90 under the
great ore body developed on the 1900
In Deep Work at Irish Mug.
The deepest work ever conducted at
the Irish Mag shaft is now proceeding
in research at the 1850 foot level a
few small shOwings have ben opened,
which may lead to sufficient ore lndl-
cations to continue the work The
Irish Mag is an old working and SUI
ficient work has been done previously
TO give a good line on what is TO be
expected, and If there IS anything
picked up in addition il is to be cred
tied TO freak formation rather than
TO any other cause. At the Cole shaft
some ore is being cut on the 1000 foot
level and the development is encour-
aging.
Work is well under way on the fOun-
datiOn for the new change house Of the
Southwest shaft of the Copper Queen
The work was somewhat delayed, as
the shaft comes out directly on the
side of q hill and a level stretch had
to be dug Now that the foundation
work is completed it is expected that
the house will be built in a short time.
COncreting is Demonstrated.
COncreting in mine work is getting
excellent demonstration in solid ground
at both the Calumet and Arizona and
Copper Queen properties The Calumet
and Arizona has its Innings in the
junction shaft up 800 feet from the
1900 foot level which is considered eX-
cellent progress when taking into con-
sideration the character Of the ground
and the excellence Of the work. The
junction is down in the fiat and is away
from the possibility OF shifting ground
In the mean time the Copper Queen
IS following the same line and, Wher-
ever permanent workings are in solid
ground concrete is being put in, thus
adding greatly to the safety of the
shafts
Incorporation papers for the Cana
nea-BostOn Mining company have been
received in this city. The company is
capitalized at 100000, with $4,000

D. Nicholas vice president, and Joseph
I Cohn, secretary and treasurer.
Rescue shields Received.
Five of the latest Draeger rescue
shields have been received by the Cal
umet and Arizona and are being tested
at the mines. The new machines diff
fer somewhat from others in that they
can be more easily fitted to the body
and can be attached in from one and
-one-half to three minutes
