Jerome Reporter.
George Mitchell, superintendent for
the Cananea Consolidated Copper com
pany, was in Bisbee on business con-
nected with his company. Mr.. Mitchell
has become we'll known throughout
the west in connection with the Mitch
ell hot air blast furnace, upon which he
holds some patents. one of these
furnaces Is now in use by the Copper
Queen Consolidated Mining company.
Mr.. Mitchell told the Bisbee Review
that the smelters at La Cauanea turned
out last month 1000, 600 pounds of fine
copper. The present capacity of the
smelters is 800 tons of ore per day, and
this will shortly be increased to 900
tons by the addition Of more machinery,
the order for which has already been
placed.
The Verde Queen Copper company
has reached the point where they claim
"a mine and say that they will start the
smelter before the fifteenth. Drifting
from the bottom OF the shaft north
about fifteen feet, an oxide ore was
found and at this time they have gone
in on it twenty feet, II cross-cut of
twenty-siX feet has not reached its
limit. There is no intention to boom
the Verde Queen, the policy OF the
management apparently being to dis
courage such practice, but from the
many sources which such news perco-
lates it is pretty certain that the affairs
of the company were never in a more
satisfactory condition. The ore is of
good quality and every Indication
points to its abundance. The blowing
in of the smelter means additional
work and more business for the jerome
merchants.-JcrOme Reporter.
