Bisbee daily review., 1902-12-02
IN THE TIMING FIELD Operations of Interest Throughout the County of
 Cochise, Arizona and Sonora

has along with ex-superintendent Mo
 Allister of the narrow guage, been em ployed by eastern parties to traverse
 the bigger part of Mexico on a pros pecting expedition. These gentlemen 1 will outfit on the most elaborate plan
 and expect to be in the field for al
 least 12 months. Both gentlemen are
 thoroughly experienced and reliable
 and much may be reasonably expected
 as the outcome of this enterprise. MT
 Pendleton is very popular among the
 men at the Over Sight where he has
 conducted the work for some time. Messrs Gerdes and McDaniels steer. ed a farty of Michigan capitalists in the dir>ction of the Huachucas, Sun. day. The statement Is authorized that a finer compliment of machinery for
 reduction purposes has been ordered for Montezuma canyon. Report has it that the whole country in that locali. ty is being rapidly located since the company began operations in the canyon. Just as the rush has been | day since things began to work prop erly in that enterprising camp.
 Messrs Markey and Fahey have several men al work on their group joining the Copper Glance on the northeast. me group consists of seven claims about eight miles south of Bisbee. Passengers from Bisbee to i Douglas will notice what appears to be an immense quartz dyke running south over the hill just opposite Glance station. That dyke crosses the group above mentioned. The prop erty has not been developed to any | extent. but lies next to the finest pros pect in the land, and has a most fam. ous looking contact. It carries an in eXhaustable body of the finest silica ever discovered, and indications point strongly to a splendid gold property The owners will prosecute the work steadily from now on.
 Pat Whelan has four claims just south of the Prichard property on which the assessment work has just been completed. The little group is characterized by an abundance of good looking copper ore on the surface in which quartz is the predominating feature, which of course indicate the presence of important gold values in the ore. MT. Whelan will endeavor to do something in the way of develop ment work at an early day.
 Gold and Silver as Compared With
 Other Mineral Products
 Some ten months ago a comparison was made between the value of the gold and silver products Of the United States and the value of other groups of our mineral products as set forth by the United States Geological Sur vey in Mineral Resources of the United States" for the calendar year 1900. The annual volume for 1901, just issued, permits similar com parison for last year.
 In round numbers the value of the gold product was $7s,000, 900, and of the silver product the value was $71,- 100000 as money tcoining value), and $33.000,000 as metal (commercial vaIue.) As metals, then, gold and sill yer products were valued at a little less than $112. 100000; as money. they were worth $150.000,000. The corre- spending figures for 1900 were s1I5,- 100000 and SI53, 900, ,000-a loss for 1901 of over three millions
 The copper produced in 1901 was valued at $S7 900 900; the lead was valued. as in 1900, at S23, ,000 .OOO; and zinc was produced to the value of over S11,000.000. The copper, lead, and zinc products in 1901 were worth $9,000,000 more as metals than our gold and silver were worth as metals, although the value of the copper prod uct was S11,000.000 less than in 1900.
 The combined values of abrasive materials. of chemical materials, of pigments, and of other miscellaneous minerals. amounting to about $38, ,O0O,- 900 in 1901, show that they were worth almost half as much as the gold produced, and about s, 900 900 more than the silver as a metal
 The structural materials produced in 1901, the building stone, the clay products. the cements, valued at about $182,0OO 900, exceeded the gold and silver by $70.O00, 900, if the com mercial or metal value of silver is taken. and by ss2 2,00O 900, if silver is taken at it's coining value
 Iron ore and its products, the metal lie basis of our civilization, increased notably in quantity in 1901 as com pared with 1900. Yet, notwithstand- ing loss of nearly $1S,000,000 in value as compared with 1900, the pig iron produced in 1901 exceeded the metal value of the gold and silver by $130, ,000, 900. and their combined coin- ing value by $95,000, 900.
 Compared with the mineral fuels coal, petroleum. and natural gas, pro duced in 1901, the combining coining value of the gold and silver is exceed ed by $292.000. 900 and the combined metallic value is as SIP GOO 900 to SAP 600 GOO, an excess of $330, ,00O, 900 of the necessary fuels over the pre-
