THEMINES OFARlZONA

Eagle claim of the Tom Reed, a body Of ore about 75 feet in length has re- gently been opened up on the 535 foot level of the Aztec. The average values are about the same as the other Aztec ore, but the new discovery adds ma terially to the ore reserves on this property.
 At the Gray Eagle the drift is still in ore for it's entire width, more than l50 feet having been disclosed by the recent developments. It is the inten- tion to continue the drift entirely through the body of commercial ore before attempting any other develop ments.
 The Gray Eagle shaft inclines to the south at an angle of about 65 degrees, while the vein has a dip to the north. The shaft has already been sunk "a feet below the 400 foot level and if con- tinued to the 500 foot level, the vein and shaft would nearly come together, though about 200 feet apart at the 400 foot level.
 What is known as Gray Eagle shaft No. was sunk on the present vein a little to the east of No. 1 shaft, to a. depth of over 200 feet. A drift from the bottom of this shaft may be run out to explore the ore body on that level.
 The Tom Reed developments have had a stimulating effect on the entire camp and considerable new work is now being projected as a direct result. President Frank Keith of the Sunny side Gold Mines Co. and vice president of the United Eastern Mining company spent the last week in camp. He ex- presses the utmost confidence in the | future of the camp and the probability | of other important mines being de- l veloped here. No definite plans for resumption of development on the | Sunnyside have been decided upon, | though the management is convinced | that they are justified in going ahead | at the proper time.
 | Work was started this week on the l Gold Road Bonanza, President F. T. | Torpey and Superintendent R. NJ. l Rogers having made a careful exam 1 ination of the situation. They decided 1 to continue the drift to the east on the $50 foot level, which has already been
 advanced for 400 feet, following a vein for two to four feet in width carrying | good values all the way. This vein | should form junction with the great | dyke to the south within 100 feet from | its present face, and this is the ob- | jective aimed at.
 l | new transforming station at the Gold l Ore this week marked the final com- l pletion of the new electrically operated plant on this property. Sinking to the | 730 foot level will now be speeded up ] to record breaking pace as the com- | pressor and hoist are in first class
 working condition, and both President | A. c. Werden and Consulting En- | gineer A c. Heating predict a new
 standard for speed in shaft sinking
 President A. F. Andres of Los An
 geles visited the Oatman United this
 week and was surprised at the pro-
 gress made in both cross custom that
 property.
 At the Oatman Southern in the
 Black Range district Superintendent
 s. R. Porter is directing the sinking
 of the shaft to the 200 foot level. The
 shaft has entered the vein and is now
 all in quartz. Some high grade ore
 was taken out of this property and
 shipped some time ago and interesting
 developments are anticipated with
 depth.
