The Inspiration Consolidated Cop per company is now driving all of it's underground headings fin ore in. stead of waste as heretofore. This being due to the fact that the new 600-ton Notation test plant is now in operation. says the Globe Record. But drifts to the main shafts on the sixth level have. been driven for a i distance of about three hundred feet north Of the shafts for tail drift for the purpose of handtngt h,asnsJna the purpose of handling trains. In few days work will be started in drift 42 1-2 N. to open up drift A 1-2 N. and | raises. which have been stopped on account of entering ore. will start once more. Drift 90 1-2 E. on the Sixth level is being driven to make connection with the Colorado shaft. Raises l05 and 107 have been started under the Joe Bushl ere body. Raises under the Joe Bush ore dump are now being put up as rapidly as possible. and it is hoped that this dump will soon be in shape for drawing A
 raise has Jeen started from drift
 42 3-i x. on the fourth level At the prescott time there is practically no work being done cn the fourth level as this ore is all blocked out except
 drift 1T 3i N. to the Joe Bush. All
 waste Is now being hoisted at tae Col. orado shaft and will be until such
 time as connection has been made
 with the incline shaft on dhe 9th
 level, at which time the waste will
 be taken up the incline tc the third
 level and there dumped into the pock. ct and hauled out the tunrcl for
 filling fin around the machine shop
 and warehouse.
 F The new 600 ton oil flotation test plant of the company began working three shifts per day on Tuesday last l and the first ere was put through the
 mill on that date. The Scorpion shaft
 is now hoistiDg nothing but ore
 which is being hauled by train to the
 test milf and apparently this shaft will be able to hoist an ample supply v of ere to feed this mill; however
 work will be started within a few
 days on the construction of an incline 2 conveyor from the Scorpion crushing plant to the east end of the ore stor
 age bins, and the ore will be put into ' these bins as hoisted, as at the pres ent time there is not storage supply s the ore being delivered direct tc car
 from the crusher.
 e The Roosevelt power line is slowl, y but surely nearing its rows end l. Towers are now in place up to tn,
 millsite and 1t is hoped that wir,
 will be strung within a few months 1f ood progress is being made with tn, n grading icr the shelter. The rail 10 road track has been laid up to the sit, h. and within a short time this shoult S. be busy place.
 L. The American Bricge company ha e. finally completed the riveting of th Is sampling mill and the ore storag ,e bins and tools and machinery hav }, all been moved to the millsite. wher
 they are now putting in traveller ci le one of the benches of the concentrs to tor and expect to have the work gc n. ing soon. Several cars of structura at steel for this building have alread Id been received and the company @ A. pect to receive the balance cf thi
 material at the rate of about si
 hundred tons per week. AS soon a
 the traveller has been installed a pol to ton of the force will be returned
 the main shafts and resume worl
 while the balance of the force will r'
 main at the millsite and thus bot oo buildings will be in coprse of COT n sctruction at the same time. Durin :, the past week the last section of tn a. steel frame for the incline conyeyc
 from the coarse crushing plant to tn |. ore storage bins was erected an ~ thc 125 feet boom, together with otl CT alliances have been removed.
