MINING NEWS H OSES FOlii THE HI 5ECI Calumet Eesumes Sinking; Cananea Company Has a Big Output. Cananea. Sob-, Mex., Oct 8, Some rich ore has been encountered at the Palo 3eeo Ko 1 mine of the Moetezuma Arizpe Development company (Mexican Metals), located about IS miles south east of Cananea. The find was made on the 460-foot level, and it is reported that it will prove of considerable im portance. Although the extent of the strike is not known, it is said that the ore body encountered is what the com pany has been looking- for, but did not expect to tap the Tein at that depth. '..iieine tint a greater depth would yP po-f.w , i to tap the rieh vetn. The -lui -lead and said to be quite i, company will have the new oil ' : engines in operation, as well thr- n.w air compressors, which are pi present being installed at the mill. This will result in a greater mill ca pacity, and lessen costs. Calumet Resumes Sinking. The Calumet & Sonora mine of the Cananea Mining company has resumed sinking operations in its Chivera shaft. A small force of men was put at work cleaning out the sump and preparing for sinking. At present there are three shifts of men engaged in sinking. The SOLE AGENTS. shaft is to be sunk to a depth of 675 feet, which is, 150 feet deeper than the present sump. The reason for going to greater depth is because of the fact that the ores above the 500 foot level have been exhausted and it is necessary to go to greater depth and develop a new mine. Ores on the 525 foot level were of greater value than those found above. There is every reason to believe that the right ores on the 525 foot level continue further down. The ores in the Chivera shaft have been yielding more copper as depth is attained, and it is believed by experts, that in the course of time the property will be developed Into a copper proposition, Instead of lead, zinc, silver and copper as at present. The company's wet mill is at work at present iri cleaning- up, while the dry mill has been shut down for the pres ent. It has been demonstrated during the past three months' run of the dry mill, which is equipped with Huff electro static separators, that the separation of zinc and copper can be successfully made Concentrates Are Good. Shipments of concentrates during the past few months have shown the fol lowing averages: Zinc, 52 percent, cop per, 16 percent and lead 71 percent. The latter carried on an average of between 35 and 40 ounces silver a ton. W. H. Tangue is superintendent of the property, which is located two miles northwest of Cananea. A party of officials and stockholders of the company is expected to visit the mine In the near future, when other im provements will be decided upon. The gross output of the smelter of the Cananea Consolidated Copper com pany (Greene-Cananea), for the month of September, was approximately 6,400, 000 pounds of blister copper. This, of course, includes the copper yielded by the Miami Copper company concen trates, which are treated at the Can anea smelter, besides customs ores and matte.

Connection will soon be made in the haulage drift on the fourth level I between the Scorpion and main shafts. Tronble in Drift. Great trouble is being experienced In the drift to the main shafts on the sixth level, due to the fact that the ground is exceedingly difficult to hold after being opened and progress in this drift has been very slow. Sub levels are now being started from the fourth level of the Colorado ore body in preparation for mining this body by the caving system. Iteymert is Stocked. The Reymert mine, southwest of Su perior, was obliged to reduce its work ing force considerably the last of Sep tember because of a flow of water en countered in the shaft. At first it was supposed the flow was due to a pocket that would soon drain, but the continu ance of the water forced superintend" ent Tighe to reduce his force to a few surface men until the Jiecessary pump ing machinery can be installed. Xeiv Sinker Ordered. A No. 7 Cameron sinker has been or dered as well as a compressor, and with resumption of work the develop ment will be crowded ahead faster than heretofore. "When compelled to stop the shaft work it was being sunk at record rate for hand steel work, making considerably more than a set (about five feet) daily. The shaft was 230 feet deep when abandoned. It had originally been a smallec shaft with a depth of 120 feet, but when the Gunn, Thompson inter ests took hold of the property the shaft was widened to two 4 by 5 foot com partments. As the shaft's collar is li0 feet above the bottom of the creek bed, and the latter always dry. tha source of the water is puzzling to the management.
