Planet Mine.

This old property on Billy Will Hams Fork that was in the hey day of its prosperity in the early six ties. is now shipping ore under lease and bond. The mine in 1860 and 1862 teamed it's ore product to Aubrey at the confluence of Billy Williams Fork with the Colorado River. It was there loaded into bargcs and fIoated down to the Gulf of California where it was trans ferred to sea going vessels and taken to Swansea, Wales for treatment. Since that time the old mine has only been worked spasmodically but each time has produced rich copper silver ore. Let us hope the old property has taken on a new lease of life and she will again be a fac
 tor in its production of copper ore.

Company Will be Reorsanized in Or der to Secure Funds For
 DeveIopment

Calumet. Mich.-Directors of the Lake Superior and Arizona Mining company. nearly twO-thirds of the stock in which is held in the Lake Superior district, at their meeting in the companys offices at Calumet, on Friday decided to FeorGanize the company. The details of the re- organization are now being worked cut and likely will be approved at an adjourned meeting to be held next Friday.
 The company will probably be re- organized along lines that will per init of a larger issue of stock and so the company can be placed on an assessable basis, with the idea ef raising sufficient funds for furtfer development work at he property.
 The property is at Superior, Pinal county. and adjoins the famous Mag ma mInc, on the south. There has been a great deal of development done upon it. An incline shaft is sunk on the dip of the strata to a depth of 1880 feet. There are two tunnels along the contact, one 5000 feet in length. Also two yer tical shafts right in queen Creek and where some good ore was de- veIoped and shipped The shafts also developed large quantities or water. and more than the plant could manage. The bed of Queen Creck was cemented, but with slight effect on the water supply. It is generally conceded that the property was frightfully managed and at the enor- nous cost Of over S7O0,000. The incoming of the Magma mine ana it's large and rich ore bodies nave impressed the stockholders of the possibilities in their own ground, Il rightly handled.
