Arizona silver belt., 1899-04-06

has never since been shut down a dsy for want of ore, and the property is now far better mine than at any for mer stage in its development
 The property was transferred in June 1895, to the Bigelcw, Lewisohn syndicate, aud the new management began at once the proper development of the mine. Under the direction of Mir, s. A. Parnall, the shaft has been enlarged from two compartments to three, and carried down from the Sth level (430 feet deep) to the 18th level, $50 feet below the surface. New and important discoveries of ore were made in all the old levels, in ground supposed to have been worked out, and the Sth level, which was only partially opened, has been very fairly developed, and in which there are important occurrences of ore. An excess of water has impeded work below the 9th level, but new 'Nordberg. Corliss compound condens. ing pump, ot capacity of 500 gallons per minute raised 1000 feet, has recent ly been installed, and with the ground below the 10th level drained, the man. agement will be eDahled to open mp the levels tributary to the shaft below ths 9th level, and to sink tho shaft deeper. The shaft and every portion of the mine opened under the present man. agement denotes engineering ability and mechanical skill.
 A new No,dberg rapid hoist, capable of sinking 2UO0 feet, is soon to be in stalled. Nearly all the buildings around the mine are new. These comprise A machine shop, blacksmith shop and carpenter shoo. all under cue roof warehouse, 4Ox60 feet and annexes; ore house. remodeled and furnished with powerful crushe-s which are run by a new Nordberg- Corliss en zine.
 A Bleichert wire cable tramway con- veys the ore to the shelter.
 At the smelter one large rectangular furnace has been in blast continuously for some time, and is making a very satisfactory output O copper.
 The engine room has been remodeled aud new 23x30 Nordberg CorIiss en- glue and No. ! Connersville blower are now being installed
 Superintendent Paruall has capable corps of assistants, and the company now employs about $50 men in the several departments of tue works.
 UNITED GLIDER MINES.
 The Buffalo miue (hy which name this company is still known locally was located in the fall of 1876 or spring of 1877 by Tom Newlands and Johnny Devine, who sold to Geueral A. A.. McDonei. Copying after the early plans of the Zalinskys at Clifton, Gen. eral McDunel built stone furnace, lined with copper, in which to smelt the Buffalo ores, hut the attempt proved a flat fniinre, and the stone furnace was replaced by small water jacket fur mace which met requirements. The Buffalo smelter turned out copper for several years, but owing to the small capacity and high cost of supplies, the enterprise did not prove very profta- ble. After Julius Liberman got con. trol of the Buffalo, nnder the manage meut of Dr. Alex Trippel, tbe mine became good producer, to the finan cial gain of Messrs. Liberman and Trippel.
 The origin of the Limited Globe Mines" dates from the purchase of the lease and bond from Liberman and Trlppel by the Phelps, Dodge syndi cate. in 1891. The company continued to buy ground in the Globe copper belt until it had acquired more than 30 claims. the most important purchase having been the Hoosier group. Com. nsDdable energy and the liberal ex. penditure of money in development work and in making desirable surface improvements marked the progress of the United Globe, and the fact that they are now enabled to supply two large furnaces with ore is the best evil dence of important discoveries under. ground.
 The dminsions of the furnaces in blast are one 38x96 and the other AK 12c. Two No. Connersville blowers furnish the blast. The ore from the mine bins is delivered over Bleich ert wire rope tramway, 5000 feet in length, having capacity of about 25 tons per hour.
 There are two working shafts upon which are steam hoists and large I hoist for the Hopsier shaft is contem- plated. A Worthington triple-expan- sion pump with two Stirling water tube h. Hers. each 100 horse power, are or. derrd for the Hoosier mine, which is very wet on the 7th and 8th levels
 The old group of mines on Buffalo hill are being worked and are directly connected with the ore bins at the head of the bucket trsmway.
