BIsHEE DISTRICT
Short Mention of Many Properties
 Now Under Development.

The following items of mining news are from a general write-up of the Bis bee district in the Daily Miner:
 The work of development is being rushed on the Modern mine. During the week there were not less than ! dozen eastern capitalists visited this mine and all of them were so we'll nlrased with the rich showing made that they at once purchased large blocks of stock and will be instrument tai in taking up the whole issue. The work of sinking will be resumed this week. but the work of drifting on the 2OG-foot level, which is now all in ore, will be continued.
 Work is going on steadily at the Cop per Glance mine. There are now four teen men employed and the work of sinking is being pushed as rapidly as possible, rich stringers of red oxide of copper are being encountered all the way down, but no attention is being paid to them as the management de- sires to reach the main body of ore. which it believes is below and which will soon be found
 The Black Diamond mine, situated four miles from Pearce, in this county, Is allldtAlllS llbN4A ehhNNAANAOiA NN N'AN present time Extensive development work has been done on this property and now the result of this work is about to be obtained. There has been q large amount of machinery installed of late. which Is now ready to be put in operation and there is a sufficient amount of ore to make the property move right along, and in a very short while nav dividends to the stockhold CTS. The location of the mine is very pleasing, and the big level mesa spread ing out before the mine makes a most beautiful location for a town site.
 Large bodies of ore have been un- covered and everything is being placed in readiness for hoisting at the Calu- met and Arizona when the smelters now being built at Douglas are ready. Ii is expected they will be blown in about the middle of October. when the force of miners will be largely in- creased and the smelters kept fully supplied A large force of men is em- ployed doing development work and otherwise getting things ready for the steady work that will soon commence. Heavy and costly machinery has been placed in position and before the first of the year regular shipments of copper will be made.
 The prospects for first class rina never looked brighter than they do q { the Solomon Springs property. The work of development is being paid for by the owners who have no stock for sale They are running q tunnel into the mountain 1000 feet and are also sinking a shaft above. Rich strirgers of ore are being encountered in the shaft and in the tunnel. and it is the expectation of the owners that when the tunnel Is in about 800 or eco feet that these stringers will all run e to- gether ard the main body Of ore will bc encountered.
 The Big Four prospect is coming into prominence by the rich character of ore being found there. It was located about two years ago and Is now owned by W. N. Edwards. Tom Hogan. sam Spaulding and Robert Elliott. The work of development has been slow in the past. but the owners will now push the work. They have purchased hoist and the same will be put in place as soon as it arrives. and d force of men put to work. Rich copper ore has been encountered in the bottom of the shaft
 The old Worlds Fair property, con- sisting of a group Of twelve claims. IS owned by Lem Shattuck s. K. Will Hams and others and is situated about two miles east of Bisbee in Forest can yon. It was located In '94. A shaft has been sunk to a depth of 400 feet and is in good ore that gives 90 to 40 per cent in copper. Hoisting machinery has been ordered and is now due here.
 The South Bisbee. although still ir litigation, is being cleaned sout an6 placed Tn position for active work in the very near future, or as soon as tho
