COPPER BASIN IS
 INACTIVE DISTRICT
Showing Made at the Commercial Is The Inducement for Much
 Development Work.
Special to the Journal-Miner.

AhS AA biS SdhipS dOJdSSul lO tlllS
 place are taking on renewed activity
 since the first of the year. Many
 miners who were doing assessment
 work at the end of last year are con
 tinuing their work and making a de-
 termined effort to prove their claims
 SO that they will be salable. The
 shipping of fifty tons of ore per
 day by the Commercial Mining Com
 pany of Copper Basin is the main
 incentive for others to get to work
 with their properties.
 Only recently. as published in the
 Journal-Miner, the Commercial peo-
 pie added two new boilers to their
 equipment and are now in better
 shape to develop their holdings to
 depth. The continuance of good ore
 in Garbarino Hill is gratifying to
 the management, no doubt, and oth-
 CTS owning claims in the district arc
 also well pleased to feel that this
 ore body is proving to be of such
 great importance as to warrant the
 Bisbee people in taking over the ad-
 joining ground of Jackson and
 Clark This is taken to mean that
 larger operations are planned for
 the future of this camp.
 Adjoining the Commercial Hold
 ings is a large group of good ground
 owned by Al Finch and Bob Grif- ith. They have 25 claims, some of
 which are thought to lie on the con glomerate belt in which the Com mercial company has found the beds of conglomerate which are becom- ing known as the Glory Hole. 9th CTS of the Finch group are on gold bearing quartz veins and have, good showings for ore.
 Herman Boehm who has been in the basin as long as most of the miners there, has group of good | claims lying adjoining the Com mercial holdings, and it is under stood that he Is much encouraged ! after many years of mining in Cop per Basin and he hopes to be able to get his property under operation, as he has some high grade ore in evidence on his dumps and in his workings He has done a great deal of surface development. but on account of water, has been unable to attain enough depth to properly prove his ground
 Martin Shuber with nine claims northeast of the Commercial hold ; ngs has a good copper showing and 1 is continuing development in a prac- 1 iical manner and putting ore in sight. t
 Dick McNary and associates are a developing the old E. B. Gage gold { on the spurs southwest of [ he Basin proper. Besides having c | history as a shipper of high grade I ore recent work has opened up a arge body of low grade concentra- V ing ore The plans of the owners s Ire now to develop for a large plant il nd the mine a big producer. In s he meantime, if they find other bod u es of shipping ore, which they con t ldently expect to do, they will be y hat much ahead.
 Joe Sherer has a large area of e .ood looking ground consisting of O 3 claims on all of which there are e vidences of possible copper depos- e Is as well as many veins carrying D old and silver He is doing his I est to develop this splendid group fc y concentrating as much work as sl ossible in a few places to make k ood showing. and is succeeding ad- al lirably. D, The United States Navy mine is quipped with a hoist and has a pr haft down 800 feet deep with ci plendid showing of lead and zinc re C. C. Miesse and associates pI -om Joplin, Missouri, did the great NJ r part of this development and ol 1ipped considerable of the better fiji rade ores. W Ben F. Sweetwood of Williams. rc rizona, and associates have done CT considerable development on the to lint Gold Mining property wester- m ' from the Basin and it is said pl ave a splendid showing in a 230 to pot shaft. The property is equipped B ith ten stamp mill and wise min di -s of the district wonder why the O, inc is not on paying basis, as Ina ie property has good ore and all cl ther conditions that ought to make gc mine, so they say.
