 Mines of Mayer
 (By r. W. BoWer)
 MAYER. Nov. 10=Thirty- -one feet is the width of the new shoot of ore on the 60t foot level of the Arizona Bing- hamton mine east of this camp, and the average value is going to be high enough to warrant shipping a large part of it to the shelter. The com pany has not yet decided whether to start the shipments of high grade again to Humboldt or use the high grade with the lower grade to bring up the heads in the flotation mill. The crosscut on the 600 level has cut through one of the strongest veins of ore to be found in the state. It is continuation of the same vein that has been cut through on all of the upper levels. It settles for good the perma- nency of the ore bodies in this mine and In fact in the whole Copper noun tam district. It has put much new life lllo the newer companies which are deVeioplg properties in this whole hayer section. Mine Superintendent Cnahey, Who has been ill charge of the bIhghamton mine only six months, is the man who studied out the formation or the mine and found the ore. Now that the formation of the mine under ground has been read" it will be an easler matter, according to Superin- ! tendent Chaney, to follow down inc several ore bodies in the mine and the knowledge he has learned will be of great help to other developing com pahles Tn the same district.
