Bisbee daily review., 1902-07-03

pared with other Ar1ZOna mining com panies producing copper, it has in- creased its output more than any oth- CT company, except the United Yer de, which has been able to show about the same results. The Copper Queen in recent years, has been annoyed greatly by an insufficient water SUD- ply for it's smelters, but this trouble has recently been remedied by the installation of 8 great pumping plant at Naco and Q pipe line from there to the works here. The supply of wa ter now being pumped daily from Naco is quite sufficient to supply the demands of the company and also to add materially to the water supply of the city for domestic and other purposes.
 The Copper Queen employs about 1900 men in the various departments of it's works The men are paid the best wages received anywhere in the west; the miners work only eight hours day and receive $3.50 for it. Nowhere could there be found a more complete feeling of confidence and reliance between the laborers and the company employing them. The company trust their men and the nnln have learned to appreciate the many acts of kindness bestowed on them by the compay management. It is an ideal camp, the personification of contentment, where friction between the men and the management has never yet made itself apparent. There is | no union among the miners more than that of broad humanity, and there is not likely to be any labor organization here so long as the present manage ment continues in charge.
 If Bisbee has grown so much dur ing the past decade, what may be expected for the next, with our in creased railroad facilities. which nov bring Bisbee in direct communic ,.i )h with two great mineral districts in Sonora, Mexico-La Cananea and Nae ozari-besides connection with four eastern railroad lines at Fl Paso, in surfing many advantages in transpor- taticn?
 The Calumet and Arizona company is now working a good force-more than one hundred men-in their prop critics, which adjoin those of the Cop per Queen. This company is also now constructing a complete reduction works at Douglas and will soon enter the ranks of the important copper pro ducers of Arizona, when the number of men employed in the mines will be greatly increased. Other compan- ies are pushing developing work on promising properties, including the Modern Copper company, Copper Glance and others.
 This city is the metropolis of one of the largest and richest mineral sections of the southwest, including the great enterprise of the Green Con- solidated Mining company at La Can anea and that of the Moctezuma Con- per company .. .. Nac.,zeri: Sonn-::, .acxx- ico. The commercial trade of this town includes many points in Sonora, as well as many camps and towns on this side of me line.
 The present population of Bisbee is not less than eight thousand and pres ent conditions gurantee that it will be much larger before he end of the present year. The location of Bisbee is not a favorable one; it would have discouraged any other class of people than the energetic :2d rugged pioneers who came west to join in the devel- opment of its many resources. Bis bee was fortunate in attracting early in it sexistence progressive popula- tion, imbued with a determination to overcome every obstacle in planting civilization and prosperity in this rug ged and unsbapely canyon. The noun tain sides were attacked with vigor. Foundations were secured by blasting rom the solid rock on the upper hill side and building up with masonry from the lower side. Here is the eyi- dence of western courage to overcome whatever apears in the way of prog ress. Our hill sides are now decorate with many handsome and costly homes Upto-date mansions attest the faith our people have in the future of the city.
