among the new developments of 0 the year has been the opening of extensive ore bodies in the southern end of the company s territory near the grand central line and this por per tion of the centennial

the iron blossom mine today this ora orew being mined to the south of the no I 1 shaft at a depth of feet A shipment of the same size left the mine last wee week and the showing is so favorable that it is safe 0 to predict regular ship ments of copper ore in the future the returns from this ore show better than 12 per cent copper with enough silver and gold to make the ore a I 1 desirable shipping product then the smelter smelters are always upon the for this character of rock and mine can almost dictate the terms of the smelting contract the usual amount of development work is now going on in both the no I 1 and no 3 workings of the iron blos som sont and with the large amount of ore exposed it is an easy matter to keep the output up to its present high stand ord rd raising and drifting is now in pro gress from the le lev el of the no 3 workings woi kings and there should be some thing of importance to repeat from that part of the mine within the next few weeks the theia i
