NEW SHAFT AT
 EMERALD ISLE
 50 FEET IN ORE

The new shaft in the west ore body
 of the Emerald Isle is now down to
 the depth of 50 feet. This work has
 all been done with windlass and lit
 tie or no timbering has been done. Temporarily the men have been laid
 off and the management is preparing to install an electric hoist, and as soon as possible begin timbering, with the intention of sinking to considerable depth.
 The formation of the copper bearing aglonerate at the Emerald Isle has presented many unusual features both as to geology and mineralogy. The oNidized ores so far encountered seem to be in an early gravel, enriched by the percolation of copper solutions over considerable period, and later compressed by movements of the un- deriving porphyry, resulting in a con- pact mass of fine and coarse gravel and boulders cemented together by copper minerals; a curious silicate of copper and aluminium, predominating, This mineral is entirely soluable in dilute sulphuric acid easily yielding its copper content to acid teaching. Specimens of the pure mineral carry from 5 to Il percent copper, IS to 30 percent aluminium oxide, with silica, manganese, and. very little iron oxide, and lime composing the balance, with traces of sulphates of all three
 of the first named minerals. The
 shaft of the west ore body at depth of 10 feet encountered a small frac- ture in the aglomerate filled with this copper silicate in places and often ex- posing open seams for considerable distances. At the present depth of 50 feet several other similar fractures have come into the shaft and now in the bottom is exposed a veinlet some 15 inches in width composed almost entirely of this mineral. The fracture is on the strike and dip of the strong lime capped dyke, outcropping for sev- eral claim lengths to the north east. It is the theory of the management that this mineral filled fracture will pass entirely through the aglomerate and enter the porphyry bed rock, and if such is the case, the discovery and locus of the original ore body will be but a matter of detail. Should such an ore body be encountered entering the porphyry it may reasonably be ex- pected that some of the enriched silver ore shoots, so common to the Mineral Park district, will be found.
 The management have plans and specifications complete for the en- largement of the present electrolytic unit. Also they propose to install several labor saving devices that will lessen the cost of produc- tion, and help to offset the present high cost of labor and material.
 A plan has been perfected by which the company expects to quickly real ize the money needed to make the proposed changes and to carry the pay roll and expense accounts for some 90 days or to the time they may

NOSSBACK OFFICERS
 VISIT PROPERTY

Jess w. Speidel, a prominent busi- ness man of Wheeling, West Virginia, whose winter home is at Beverly Hills, California, and who was made president of the Arizona Mossback Gold Mines Company at the last meet ing of the stockholders, came up from the coast Wednesday with Will H. Holcomb, vice president of the con- pany, and the two accompanied by general manager Charles H. Burlock went out to the Mossback Mine to examine the work being done at that property. They examined the cross cut on the 700 foot level, which is now in 440 feet across the ore body, with no wall in sight on either side, and ore in the breast of each crosscut. This width of ore body holds the rec ord of known mines today. It has been pronounced by number of ex- perts who have visited the property lately as the greatest ore body extent of the Assure vein type yet uncov- cred in the history of mining. The crosscut to the east is showing signs of an approaching wall as the water flow has been increasing of late with each round of shots. It is expected that ore of more than ordinary values will be cut into in the vicinity of this wall.
 MT. Speidel left on Thursday night for Wheeling, West Virginia, where he will hold meeting of the prominent stockholders of the company and take up with them plans for the further de- velopment of the property and the installation of mill. An engineer to do the preliminary sampling of the property has been wired to come on, and it is expected that within sixty or ninety days at the least actual work of sinking the permanent work ing shaft and breaking ground for the new mill will be in progress. The phenomenal extent of the ore body of the Ariozna Mossback mine and the uniformity of its values, has given it a place in the annaus of mining, among the big mines of the west. Its development has been along the most conservative lines; the stock has not been listed on any stock exchange, but the development has been underwrit- ten by group of prominent capital ists, and the actual disbursement of the funds has been in the hands of men who have not sought publicity or display. The mine has mare it's way into fame by the sheer weight of it's own merits, and with the development work now mapped out for the coming year, itis expected to do much in plac- ing Mohave county in the forefront as the greatest gold producing coun- ty to be found in America.

UNITED AMERICAN
 SHAFT 365 FEET

Reports from the United American show that everything is proceeding nicely at the mine. The shaft has reached depth of 366 feet and is making better than 4 feet a day.
 The stock issue of 100000 shares for the sale of which a permit was issued only days ago, is said to be about 2-3 gone. With the conclusion of this sale of stock the company will be financed to do all the work they believe necessary to prove the ore bodies of the property.
