MINES AND MINING
The Carlisle Property

day en- route to Silver City. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Utter
and their son, Livingston.
Mr.. Utter states that negotia-
tions are pending which may lead
to the sale of his property to the
Progress Mining company of
Douglas, Arizona, which COM
pany owns a promising group of
claims in the vicinity of the Car
Isle. This Progress property
consists of 149 acres, upon which
considerable development has
been done under the direction of
Charles f. Hansen, vice presi-
dent and general manager. The
work consists of a two-compart-
ment shaft ZIG feet deep and a
cross-cut 250 feet long to the
northeast on the 200-fool level.
A fssure vein has been cross-cut
so feet wide, showing values in
copper, with gold and silver. A
new hosting plant has been re-
Gently erected and it is the in
tention to carry the main shaft
to a depth os 1000 feet. The
addition of the old Carlisle mine
would add immensely to their
resources, for this property is
developed to the 600-foot level
and has large ore reserves, upon
the 600-foot level the vein will
average 25 feet wide for several
hundred feet, the ore values run
ming about S15 in silver, lead,
gold and zinc.
The Carlisle mine, until re-
Gently, was operated by the
Hechscher zinc interests, but
was given up because of dia-
agreement regarding the terms
of the option, the merits of the
property as a possible producer
never having been questioned.
The ores are complex sulphides
of zinc, copper and lead, carry
ing gold and silver values. There
is a complete 100 ton concen-
trating and flotation plant upon
the property, also "a complete
equipment of operating machin-
cry. At present Geo. F. Utter
! is general manager and Living
ston Utter is assistant manager
and metallurgist.
Edw. Hoops of Pittsburg, Pa, ,
secretary of the Lawrence Min
| ing Co. who operate the Bonney
| Nine, was here several days last
week having under consideration
the more extensive and rapid
| development of that property.
The indications are that Mr..
Hoops will become identified
with other properties in this dis
trict. His mining interests are
extensive and diversified, con-
sisting of lead and zinc in Mis-
souri, and Kansas, copper and
silver in New Mexico and silver
and lead in Mexico, at Cusi and
Santa Eulalia. He is secretary
of the San Toy Mining Co., also,
Joseph B. Foster, president OF
the Bonney Mining Co., left fol
Chicago on Friday last to attenC
stockholders meeting, called tC

dental to the extensive develop.
ment of the large high-grade ore
bodies that have been opened up
on the sixth level of that mine,
It is quite likely that an entirely
new equipment of machinery viii
be installed. He expects to be
away about a week.

Chance Nine, 8 miles south o.
