MAYER, Ariz., Oct. 12-The writer accepted an invitation from Geo w Long last week, to visit the Kay mine Long is president of the Kay Copper company and the mine is located in the southern portion of Black canyon ! about twenty-five miles south of Mayer. The mine is being thoroughly | developed on the 50O-fot level
 About month ago, the old shaft had reached a depth of 800 feet and drifting was commenced to the south. When about 70 feet from the shaft, l the first ore was encountered. which was crosscut 20 feet, an average val ue across the ore showing IS per cent copper and about S5 in gold and sil- yer
 During the past month the drift has been continued to a point 140 feet south of the mine shaft, the face of the drift being in ore that will aver age Is per cent copper. A crosscut has been run 75 feet east of the drift all in ore that will run from one and a half to five per cent copper and $3 in gold and silver. The drift is to be continued to the south end of the property and the crosscut will be ex- tended to the foot wall. which is on the east side of the river, a distance Of about 300 feet from the present drift Surface work on the east side of the river shows a strong copper vein which would indicate that the ore zone from the drift on the 500-foot level to the east foot wall will be continuous.
 It is now believed that the ore thus far developed is not the extension of the Tribolet ore body from which 40 carloads fore were shipped during the development of the upper levels, by s. J. Tribolet, the former owner. Tribolet declares that the main ore body is farther west of the drift on the hanging wall A crosscut has been started west from the drift to determine Tribolet's theory.
 The mine shows already a remark able zone of shipping and milling ore Not many mines on the Jerome to Phoenix" belt can show one continu- ous ore body 5 feet wide of milling ore or a vein 20 feet wide of IS per cent shipping ore with several hun
 
 undoubtedly continue to show up ore. | The depth is only 800 feet. What ! will be the outcome of the develop i ment work when twice that depth is | attained, is the interesting question. |
 The ore is for the most part a chal l copyrite copper, similar to ore in other mines of the same belt. It will make l an ideal oil Notation proposition and l that is the process that will be in- 1 stalled at the mine on a large scale, | later on.
 Long is in New York City at the | present time comforting with the other | members of the board and stockhold- | CTS. Great things can be expected at this property.
 The Littts Egypt
 The town of Mayer is to have an- other payroll Right in sight of the Big Ledge smelter and a short walk | from the Mayer postoffice, the Little Egypt property is being brought to life again by Wm. A. Davidson, of Prescott, and associates. The mine | was owned by Dr. Chas S. Vivian. of l and Wm. Belford, of Mayer, | and others. A steam hoist equipment | has been purchased and installed at | an old shaft at the south end of the | property which is to be sunk 600 feet | deep. The property has an unusually | strong copper outcrop for the length | of several claims. Unexpected high | grade ore has been uncovered along l the strike north of the shaft from | which shipments or ore are to be ] made to the Humboldt Shelter right ! away. The property has a number of | advantages, such as nearness to the Big Ledge smelter, which some day l may be in operation; the short dis tance to town making it unnecessary | to provide camp facilities and the | apparent high grade ore at the sur | face. The mine development work | is in charge of A. L. Blumenauer, of ! Jerome
 Tho Arizona Binghampton
 At the Arizona Binghampton mine, everything is running along fine. The first six days of this month showed | an output of over 31,O0O pounds of copper which is better than 10000 1 pounds per day. A larger tonnage is being made with little better grade l of ore. Important news may be eX- pected after the meeting of the 23rd, | when the question of a new deep 1 shaft, enlarged mill capacity and other important matters will be settled.
