.BEG|NW WORK ON DOUGLAS
BY ANACONDA COMPANY
FORCE WILL BE INCREASED AS
RAPIDLY AS THE PRO-
GRESs REQUIRES.

The Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany formally took possession of the
Douglas mine on Pine creek last
Tuesday, when w. ]. Kelly, of Ana
conda, arrived at the property as the
representative of the big copper COM
pany Mr.. Kelly is an old and trusted
employe of the Anaconda and the de-
velopment of the Douglas will be I'M
der his personal direction. He was
accompanied to the mine by two men
and the force will be increased as con-
ditions render it necessary. 1t will re-
quire considerable time to get the tun-
nels cleaned up and in shape for fur
ther work, for the Douglas has been
idle many years. In addition to this
the buildings must be overhauled and
repaired to comfortably accommodate
the men, and both mine and buildings
provided with all necessary equipment.
Mr.. Kelly was in the city yesterday
and ordered ore cars, track, tools and
blacksmith outfit and everything ne
cessary to begin active development.
Plan of Development.
Mr. Kelly stated that the immediate
work to be undertaken would be to
extend No. 2 and No. 3 tunnels, both
Of which are in ore, and make a raise
connecting the two at point about
700 feet from the portal of No. 3. The
two tunnels are now connected by
raise 300 feet from the portal and is
in ore all the way. AS there Is an
ore shoot the entire length Of both
tunnels, the completion of a second
raise will block out a large amount of
ore. The distance between the two
levels is about $50 feet. 1t is prob
able that a raise will later be made
between No. 2 and No. l, distance
of ESQ feet, the upper tunnel also be-
ing in ore.
A shaft has been sunk $50 feet from
the lower or No. tunnel, and Mr..
Kelly states that as soon as the sur
face water subsidies the shaft will be
pumped out and the vein will be fur
ther explored at depth.

John II. Nordquist, manager of the
Imperial, estimates that the crosscut
being run on the Imperial should
reach the vein within about 100 feet
The formation is Revett quartzite and

not unusual to encounter harder rock
near the vein, which with the fact
that more or less lead is found i'm
