of the shale contact ore-channei.
which has been cut OF by a step
fault following the course of b
lode and displacing the vein for &c
short distance at right angles -
its dip. From all indications n
ore-bearing zone should be penetra-
ted, on its easterly dip, within &
short distance.
Red Hill Florence
Important news in connection with
plans for beginning a regular pro-
duction of h~igh-grade ore Is expect
ed shortly. Ore to the value of many
thousands Of dollars is now broken
and ready to. ship, but certain devei-
opment work deemed necessary, as
we'll as work designed to prove up
the apex of the vein, is occupying
the efforts of Manager Kendall and
his men at present. 1t is expected
that some definite agreement with
the Florence company will be con-
cluded upon the return here shortly
of President A. d. Parker of the lat
ter company, which will set at rest
all rumors of possible disputes be-
tween the two companies, and that
Immediately thereafter the Red Hill
Florence will proceed to extend its
workings in the ore and will begin
shipping regularly. The mine Is said
to be in excellent condition.
Grandma Consolidated
The main shaft of the Grandma
company had passed the 740-foot
point on the first of the present
month and is expected to penetrate
the shale contact zone before the
month terminates. The shaft Is of
large dimensions, heavily timbered
throughout and designed for opera
tions at depth on a broad scale.
Upon reaching the shale, 1t Is the
plan of Consulting Engineer ]. X.
Turner and Superintendent L.. L. Del
linger to extend laterals and thor
oughly explore the contact zone. A
cross-cut will be extended to the
west to seek the ore-channel opened
in the contact zone in the adjoining
Kewanas property, only a few hun
dred feet away, and those identified
with the property have the utmost
confidence that pay ore will be found,
in the course of the work planned at
depth, possibly this month.
Great Bend Mine
Ore of good average grade con
tinues to come from the various
slopes on both main levels of the
Great Bend and the new 214 stope,
the farthest east on the 250-foot lev
ell. has been yielding some ore of
high grade, average sampling of the
mine cars from this point having rss
turned considerably over 500
ton. Ore for shipment is also being
broken in the new main 120-A stope,
opened from the 160-foot level, from
the drift a short distance below this
stope, and from the long stope open
ed to the east ON the $50 level and
from which good ore has been broken
for a distance Of 60 feet along the
trend of the vein.
Jumbo Extension
The company is developing at a
depth of no feet in the northwest
ern part of the Paloverde claim and
a number of leases are operating and
producing some high-grade ore.
Gratifying reports come from the
Copper Mountain property, where
the main shaft has exposed a large
body of good copper ore at a depth
of 800 feet.
Silver Pick Cons.
Development continues on the
250-foot level in the large quartz
zone that has been opened also On
the 500 and 70O-foot levels. In.
terest has been attracted to tie
property by the announced plan of
the company to sink it's 1100-foot
main shaft to a depth of 1900 feet
ReOrganiZed Blue Bull
A considerable quantity of high
grade ore, ranging in value from
SIS to over 5000 per ton, has been
sacked for future shipment and
Manager Darcy Is now advancing
the drift on the 250-foot level to
pick up the rich ore-shoot that has
been following down 20 feet from
