In addition to the United Eastern
stock, which will be distributed to
stockholders as soon as the sale is
ratified at the meeting of stockholders
at Phoenix, April "a, stock of the Big
Jim Consolidated, a new company, will
be exchanged for Big Jim mining
stock share for share. As soon as the
Big Jim mine is turned over to the
United Eastern, Superintendent A. G.
Heating will devote his attention to
the development of the Bluebird prop
erty, which will be transferred to the

ment of mine machinery.
The Bluebird endlines the United

one of the best of the inside properties

partment shaft down 24O feet which
will be sunk to 600 feet as rapidly as
three shifts of experienced shaft men
can do the work.

Tom Reed Operations

Rapid progress is being made in the
construction of the new Tom Reed
mill and President N. P. Moerdyke,
who spent the week at the mine, states
that it should be completed and in
operation in five or six weeks. Mr..
Moerdyke says the old workings of the
mine contain 10000 tons of broken ore
and 10000 tons of developed ore, suf-
ficient to keep the new 300-ton plant
in operation four and one-half months.
The 400-foot level of the Aztec is be-
ing put in readiness for Stopping but no
ore will be drawn from the Astec other
than the small tonnage extracted in
development work until a tramway is
constructed. The survey for the tram
has been made and it will be 1000 feet
in length. A representative of the
manufacturers will be here soon when
the order will be placed. Prompt de-
livery is promised and in the mean

Aztec is Rich

TheAztec workings have developed
quite a bit of high grade ore and
some beautiful specimens have been
extracted. President Moerdyke says
that in places free gold is frozen to
the walls of the vein. In cutting out
an ore pocket above the second level
unusually rich ore was encountered,
one sample assaying over $500 per ton.
On the 400-foot level the ore shoot
has been followed west to a connection
with the Big Jim, which was made in
ore of excellent grade. On the second
level, 526 feet from the collar of the
shaft, a drift has been extended 30
feet east and rs feet west near the
center of the vein in SIS ore.
The mine is making great deal of
water, 400 gallons per minute. A
stump will be cut in the vein on the
second level to hold the water from
the shaft and sinking then will be re-
sumed. A new hoist is to be installed
on the surface and the old hoist set
up on the second level, to facilitate

elect officers. The shaft is down 300
feet from where a crosscut will be sent
