EX.
 SHOWS ACTIVITY

One or the busy mlnlnS centerS In Greenlee county at this time is the Longfellow Extension whose property on Chase Creek is humming with ac- tivity. Although organized but short time the company under it's progress sive management is making remark able advances toward the develop ment of the property. The tunnel from Chase Creek is already in 115 survey to bring it under the point where two cars of 27 per cent ore was extracted and shipped.
 Much of the new machinery is on the property and in commission. Several buildings for the housing of machinery, employees, etc., have been constructed. A large warehouse, freight house, blacksmith shop and other buildings for carrying on the various work have been erected, a wag on road to the top of the mountain, and numerous other improvements are being made for the pushing of development work and demonstrating the value of the property, which all indications predict will be big producer.
 An air compressor has been install ed and air drills are used in the bor- ing of tunnels A 5000 gallon tank has been built on the hill overlooking the property for the storage of water which is being piped a distance of 4,000 feet from the Morenci water mains, and a 1900 foot line has also been laid which supplies the com pressor with water. Two tunnels are 1 being driven, both equipped with power drills, the one on the Cornuco- pia being in 1S0 feet with evidences of ore encountered and with another 100 feet will come under a large Cos san croppings, showing ore on the surface, at this point the ore body is exposed. Indications for the opening up of a large body of high grade ore are excellent and it is ex- pected that within a short time good news from the property will be re ported.
 More machinery is on the road and will be installed immediately upon its arrival. It is all of the latest type ing of development work to a rapid conclusion.
 The Longfellow Extension comprises 49 claims and in addition has secured 800 acres, covering mill, smelter ttownsites, etc.
 For young proposition the Long fellow Extension has all the eaI marks of eventually joining the ranks of the big producers. It is under the efficient management of Capt. c. Henry Thompson, who about one year ago, took over the Celtic Group which adjoins the famous Jamison and King mines of the A. C. Go. as well as the Shannon on the west and the D. c. on the east and north, thus being entirely surrounded by the big com panies. He organized the Celtic Ex tension of Arizona Copper Co.,, and that company is amply financed, and is pushing development work rapidly with big force of men, and is at tracting much attention in the dis trict, the general sentiment expressed by those competent to judge, is that the Celic will prove bonanza. Hay ing gotten that company financed ant work systematized, Captain Thompson resigned active management in favor of Mir Edgar T. Wallace, an engineer from New York, the Capt. still re taining the presidency of the company
 He did this in order to devote his en tire time to developing the Longfel
 low Extension, which he predicts vii
 prove a big winner.
