Pecpled with silence that vet speaks

A visit to IA Saint Factory

Mohave County miner., 1902-08-23

The Tucson Star says that Con
O'Keefe was in that city last week
after making his third visit this year
to Boston. He said that he rode IN a
private car on his return West
because he happened to be the only
passenger in the car at the time. Mr..
O'Keefe said the Bostonians we're
ready to take up any good thing from
Arizona or Sonora. That they are
onto Con was evident. for he came
back 10 frame of mind bordering on
the Pierpont Morgan style--contented
and happy. When down on West Con
gress street Con dazzled his intimate
friends by fash Of 25,O))s with which
he said he was ready to take up any
stock in his company. Con must have
run up against good thing in the
land of Pork and beans. His friends
are ready to say "Good boy, Con! We
want more of your kind to run down
to Boston, and don't forget the brown

The Old Dominion.

The following Is an Abbreviated re.
port made on the Old Dominion of
Globe by Duncan McNichil and F. W.
Hoar, noted experts.
We found $3.50 tons OF high grade
sulphide ore averaging Ills per cent
copper and 53,454 tons of high grade
oxidized ore with an average value of
10 1.l2 per cent copper. Our total
estimate is lO9,O23 tons, having gross
value ttiguring at ll24 cents) of 1885,
1858.
The ore included in this estimate is
found below the seventh level. The
mine above the seventh level, should
yield 10000 tons. This part of the
mine has not been thoroughly pros.
pected.
The upper portion Of the shaft has
settled; the shaft is moving more or
less all the time. While there is no
danger of losing the shaft, it is a con.
tinual expense to keep it in good con.
dition. All of the hoisting machinery
and power plant for the mine is on
this moving ground.
The smelter Is not what the proper
" requires; considerable money will
be required to put the property in con-
dition to be operated economically
The high grade ore reserves should be
increased as rapidly as possible to
10000 or 10000 tons. The be- I
method for treatment of your ores is
blast furnace work for which new
smelter and converting plant is re-
quired.
| would recommend mating and
converting plant similar to the one
now in use at the Bingham company 8
plant in Utah, with capacity of 500
tons per day. You have an ideal prop.
osition for this kind OF smelling
Your loss in Stag will then not exceed
one half per cent, while you are now
losing one and three-fourths per cent
or more. Your present smelter is al.
most a. poorly arranged as it is posi-
BILE to have 1t. The cost of handling
the ore from the mine to the smelter
IL my recommendations are carried out
can be reduced 6fty per cent.
would recommend that you adopt
the caving system and that, IL possible
you go into custom smelling.
l see no other reason why your mine
should not be paying proposition

Success in mining, as in that OF
railroad building, means success for
the industries of every hamlet, village,
town and city within its reach, and the
man or the enterprise, be II a mine, a
railroad, or any other means of desir-
able and rapid transit, or industry that
makes two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before, is a public bene-
factor. 1t was not until 1887 that
Montana took the lead in copper pro-
duction of the United States. In that
year the United States produced 60
per cent of the worlds supply. OF
that percentage Butte alone produced
Al per cent, Michigan 81 per cent and
Arizona 81 per cent. Thus Butte alone
produ uced about one quarter of the cop

The Copper Bullion Miuing Co. at
South Pass are about to ship ore and a
new working shaft will be sunk with
pumps and every appliance and con-
venience for continuous work. The
lower shaft, which was begun some
time ago, will also be sunk and force
of men will shortly be put to work.
Our spondent was shown through
the workings by Superintendent Jerry
McMsnnus, who Is in charge. The
main tunnel Is about 1000 it,, and
about 5000 feet of work has been done.
Their are two wines In the tunnel, out
of one of which ore Of the value of 1909
per ton was realized; there are drifts
and cross-cuts 100, 26, 20, 81, 76, ll0
and l40 feet; there is also drift to the
main shaft on the hill as an air shaft
besides innumerable short cuts and
cross-cuts for ore. Taken altogether
this mine should become one of the
promising gold and copper producers

Marshall of Tucson on April 18th.

once week, am led to believe that
something has happened him. was
informed by the Town Marshall of
Tucson that judging from the conver.
sation be had with my husband, he
was going back to Phenix or in that
direction north to some of the mining
camps. Acting on this information |
wrote to all the different mines in Ari-
zona, asking, them If my husband was
employed or had applied for work, and
they advised me that they had no such
person IN their employ.
My husband had not been very we'll,
aud thought that the climate in Ari-
zona would benefit him, so concluded
TO go there and find work 10 the mines
or anywhere so he could at least pay
his expenses until he felt better and
then he would return home.
He was man of Bohemian national.
