 The B;sbee Consohdated Copper Go.
 There are so many Consolidated" and "Calumets" in the Warren district that one has to study the system out methodically to understand just where every property is and what II is like The Bisbee Conso dated Copper com pany, comprises just IT claims, or about $40 acres. IL is about seven miles, little east of south of the heart of Bisbee. It forms a group as square as a checker board conforming with the cardinal points, and is joined on the east by Pritchard's Solomon Springs Consolidated Copper property, and the celebrated Copper Glance, on the south by the Copper Glance, on the west by the Production group and on the north by the Shibley property, It is completely surrounded by properties that have developed elegant ore. l. is about five mi es southeasterly from the Copper Queen, the Calumet and Arizona, and is directly in line with every producer and good prospect owned by those companies.
 As pointed out by MT. Tomhnson, who has no interest in the property, it is directly in line with the big iron and lime dyke, easily traceable from the Calumes and Pittsburg 10 the in ternational boundary. As regards its situation. in relation to all the great producers and promising copper prop critics in the Warren district, espe- cial.y the Copper Queen and Calumet holdings, it is absolutely ideal, and that one question of locality in regard to these wonderful properties is first and most important 10 be considered in sizing up a copper proposition in this locality.
 The formation on the Bisbee Consol- diated is strikingly identical with that around the Holbrook and Spray, and every property on that remarkable e belt, being prominently distinguished for iron and lime, with an occasional blow out of what the prospector calls '' old hat" which is form of iron.
 The personnel of the prOprietors of this promising group is a strong guar antee of the integrity of the enterprise and the sound judgment exercised in prospecting locating and promoting, in connection with the combination, all being well to do local men, with eminent knowledge of the district, and the necessary course to pursue in de veioping great copper property in this section. They are R. L. Samuel, hn n- -ar on ha Marquette; w. J. Lewis, F. A. Hess, and c. F. Nichols, leading members of the Atlas Mining Bureau at Douglas, David Matthews, Walter Jones, and Amos Kindred, member of the city council of Bisbee. These gentleme mel are radically different from certain combinations of fake and firewater that were want to invade the district before the Review began to make a speciality of looking after, mining de tails, and all matters which thereunto relate. The names of the claims com prising the Bisbee Consolidated are, the Evergreen, the Denver, Sunset, Lone Star, Galveston, Smuggler, Cop per Boy, Alta. Pomona. Don Luis. Con- che Beaumont, Ben Williams, Jessie, Llewelyn, Manila and Big Fortune.
 The group originally consisted of IF claims, to which five more were subse- quently added. They have been loca' ted an the title work scrupulously performed for about four years. They were located before the big copper wave swept across the district.
 A Review man visited the property last Sunday. On every calm in the group the discovery and assessment work has been carefully attended to besides this, there has been much sol i'd development work.
 On the Manila. which is situated 10. ward the east side of the group. and close under Bald mountain, which be, longs to the Copper Glance. nove! and possibly an important natural feature in the formation was discoy cred. At the bottom Of a 2S-foot shaft an opening was discovered not quite large enough to admit the body of a man. It evidently had external con munication, as birds and bats flew out when first opened up. Rock dropped down into this hole reverberate for the space of a minute, indicating great depth, and leading to the conclusion that a cave of considerable extent must exist below. Above this shalt or the slope of the hill, the earth sounds like drum under ones footsteps. This remarkable feature. when investigated may be a wonderful source of natural development for the property. as fine indications of copper are found in the shaft leading to the cave. On the Evergreen. near the center Of the group. a 25-foot shaft follows an iron and lime ledge under the lime capping and in this ledge was encountered great blocks of beautiful carbonates of copper. with which the collar of the shaft is walled It is one of the mos promising points on the group for de velopment operations. and will be SC lected along with the main shaft fol
