Bisbee daily review., 1921-06-12

desire to inspect the Sunbeam prop erty which he purchased from Burt & PrObaSco several weeks ago and which is soon to be the scene of eX- tensive development. A brief survey of the camp, however. so thoroughly impressed him with it's ore-yielding possibilities that he took over anoth- CT promising property located be- tween the Sunbeam and Gold Chain estates. AS in the first instance Burt and Probasco are on the selling end of the contract.
 Loring expressed himself as being particularly pleased with the size and mineralization of the numerous out crops, and returned to San Francisco well satisfied that the acreage he controls is equal to the best in the camp. The amount of development work that is under way at so early stage in the camps history was also favorably commented upon by him as evincing a sincere effort on the part of the mine operators to demon strate its worth at the earliest possi- ble time. Referring to the interest that is being manifesed in gold min- ing, Loring expressed the belief that it will continue to grow in popular favor and that the day when the gold miner will again come into his own will be expedited by congressional legislation that will relieve the finan- cial handicap under which he now la bors. The McFadden bill to that end, as now constituted, may be modified somewhat. but MT. Loring believes that some form of remedial legisla- tion will probably be enacted.
 New Shaft Planned
 Ed Chaffee, field man for the LOT ing interests in this section, accom- panied his chief on the round of in- spection of the Katherine district, and together they went over the plans for the development of tn acreage ac' quired from Burt and Probasco. Sur
 ace trenching is now being done on the Sunbeam property under the sup ervision of Chaffee, and is to be fol lowed by the sinking of a double compartment shaft and the proving of the property at depth. The veins on the Sunbeam group carry very en
 couraging gold contents surface. and there, as elsewhere in the camp. the values increase as depth is gained. In addition to the deals made with the Loring interests. Burt and Pro- basco have also given 3O-day option on the Gold Key group of claims to M. E. Mcdonald, representing New York mining men. The property ad joins the Gold Chain estate on the northwest and carries several prom ising Assures. MT. Mcdonald left rere a few days ago for New York to close the deal with his associates Mcdonald has followed 'em all from Cripple Creek to the Pacific slope and from the Arctic Circle to South Amer ica. As a mine manager and ore-find CT he stands at the top of his profess ion. His opinion of the Katherine district is therefore worthy of care ful consideration. He classes it as one of the most promising gold-bear- ing sections in the United States and is convinced that it will make good its surface promise at depth.
 An interesting feature in connec- tion with the favorable light in which Messrs, Loring and Mcdonald view the future of the Katherine district | is the favor it has found with other we'll known mining engineers, metllur- oists and miners. Among them are: IT. H. Van Wagenen of Denver, Col "-ado: Branch H. Smith of Tonopah, Nevada: Charles N. Miller of San Francisco, California; K. c. Calhoun of Los Angeles. California; Frank w. Stall of Tonopah, Nevada: J. K. Fur ner of Goldfield. Nevada; D. w. Shanks of San Francisco, California;
 John B. Treeloan of Alameda. Cali fornia; Charles S. Sprague of Gold field. Nevada; J. P. Loftus of Los Angeles. California; Frank Allen of Butte. Montana: M M. Paige. of Amador, California, and Tom Ward of Cripple Creek. Colorado.
 Extension Looks Good
 No more forceful illustration in Justification of their faith could be presented than that offered at the Katherine Extension property, where the northeast continuation of the big Katherine vein was recently enconr- tered at a depth of 100 feet At this time the vein has been sunk in a depth Of 40 feet. and is carrying aver age values of $6.47 ton. The Kath- erine Extension adjoins the bonanza Katherine mine and the discovery of the Katherine vein therein proves its continuity for a distance of more than a mile beyond the Katherine work ings. The Katherine Extension will probably be the next mine to 'come in" in the Katherine district, with the Cold Chain a close second. The dis
