Miami, Ariz., June 16.-The Copper
Springs Mining company, composed Of

ranch section of the district H Ogle
Tunis, Of the Miami Engineering and
. Assaying company, who had direct

state highway south of Globe. Will he
gin work this week on the location and
survey of a three mile road from the
I Copper Springs group to point on the
main county highway, probably some
where near the Schultz property The
Copper Springs has stIpng evidence Of
probable ore deposition at no great
depth, a heavily mineralized quartz
vein on the contact Of the granite ana
diorite having already yielded cOnsid-
cradle copper ore. a tunnel now being
driven to cut the contact will gain $50
feet in depth with like distance from
its portal, the face of the mountain at
that point being on an inclination OF
about As degrees.
The tunnel is now about 100 feet long
and a force Of six men is at work on
the ground. About two carloads of
shipping ore are already piled on the
dump, and IL is expected that a 100 ton
concentration plant viii be erected on
the property in the near future. The
ore averages 65z percent copper and
carries about 20 ounces Of silver.
Take Bond and Lease on IL Claims.
In the Sleeping Beauty range, about
three miles north from the Interna-
tional smelter. L d. Mcclure and j. +.
Miner have taken a bond and lease on
II claims belonging TO Dolph BaatZ,
Jacob Klinfelder and j. W Bennett, all

known assayers and chemists in this
region, formerly having had charge OF
the Warrior assaying plant when that
company also handled all the Live Oak
assaying- He was also in charge OF the
South Live Oak property during its
exploration Miner is well known in
Globe and Miami, having been assOci-
ated with the management Of the Bar
ney and other well known mining en-
terprises throughout the southern por-
ton Of Arizona
The general formation OF the prop
erty upon which Mcclure and Miner
are preparing for extensive work Is
monzonite, thoroughly altered and min
eralized and associated with heavy
iron Gaping. Considerable diabase
ealsO shows throughout the property.
Three men are at work on the prop
erty at a point where they have race

Repairing Mine Road.
At the Savage group. northwest OF
the Gibson, a small force OF men is now
engaged in repairing the road connect
ing the group with the Five Points
highway. When they have finished
the present work, a shaft will be start
ed on the eastern side of the vein, with
the object OF cutting the ore body at a
point that viii also afford a means Of
draining the entire property
The Warrior is shipping daily about
$50 tons Of copper ore averaging pet
ter than percent
Temple & Noble are reported to have
secured bond and lease on some prom
ising property in the summit district
g The Independence group may be eX-
pected to show activity with the soar
ing price Of copper This property has
not only yielded some fine high grade
copper ore in the immediate past, but
recent development revealed more high
grade in the property Unfortunately,
the heavy rains of the past few months
resulted in caFing Of the tunnel that
has been driven TO the ore body; but
il is Inevitable that such an excellent
mine viii not remain long idle under
present conditions VIII Sultan OF
Globe, is understood to be preparing a
comprehensive report on the property,
in which he is heavily Interested
Gibson Leasers Do Well.
George Zapp and Lou Riddle, as well
as the many other leasers at the Gibson,
report good results as usual Ship
ments are expected to be above the av-
erage this month, probably in the
neighbOrhoOd Of zoo tons Of high grade
copper ore
In the Arivaipa country, southwest
from San Carlos and north of Wilcox,
the old Gold Crown mine is taking on a
new lease OF life under the direction OF
Anderson, who is taking a substantial
tonnage from the property and mas
erected a milling plant that is proving
successful. John L Hopes, of Miami,
who recently was in that section, says
there is a splendid future ahead OF the
old time mine, its naturalization being
greater than reports from that isolated
region might lead one to suppose.
At the Cole Development cOmpany's
property a small force Of men is en-
gagged in development work that is dis
closing improved conditions faily, al
though the really huge proportions Of
the property as a copper prospect make
il impossible for definite results to be
obtained without extensive develop
ment work being done
