THE ARIZONA MINES

Secretary Barker. OF the Copper
Glance, says the pumping machinery
for that property is now expected any
day. II was shipped from Chicago on
June 10 and it is being hurried
through with tracers at every point
where any delay would be likely to
occur Everything is ready to set the
machinery Immediately on its arrival.
At the Higgins Development COM
pany's Twilight the machinery is
rapidly being placed in position.
superintendent Samuel Parnall expect
ed to start the machinery last Wednes-
day and would have done 80 had he
not been disappointed I'm getting some
fire brick which he required. When
the hoist is in operation the shaft will
be put down in hurry The latest
improved compressed air drills will
be used. All the machinery at the
Twilight is Of the most modern made.
The report has been circulated that
the Higgins Development company
had started to supplan t the places of
American employees with European
labor. The statment of Superintendent
Parnell Is an absolute REPUTATION Of the
rumor and sets at rest the impression
that the Twilight WOULD soon be a
colony Of foreigners.
One OF the men who had been
working at the Twilight made the
statement to a Review reporter that
he had quit work because Of the fact
that two Slvanonians had been put on
and he refused to work with them.
Nov here is the truth of the whole
matter said superintendent Parnall.
I've have been trying to rush work for
grading our bins so that we could
start to haul several carloads of coal
which has been on the sidetrack for
the last six days. Last night the men
were asked to do a little more and
the answer was to quit. They simply
demanded their time and got it, This
morning when it was time TO go TO
work we found ourselves short of men,
so put on such las were available.
They happened to be Slavonians. II
there had been AN American in sight
at the time he would have been offered
a chance to go to work just the same
as were the others.
"We appreciate American labor and
as long as American labor appreciates
our endeagor to treat it right we will
employ no outsiders. The fact is this.
We have certain work to be done and
it is going to be done, too; if not by
Americans, then by men of some other
nationality.
At the Calumet q Arizona there are
250 men on the payroll. They are
taking out some very high grade ore
and the bodies are apparently getting
larger as depth is attained. The ore
now being hoisted almost taxes the
ore bins and the reserve in the mine is
rapidly increasing.
The strike Of ore in the drift on the
$50 foot level of the Calumet d
Pttsburg was the sensation of the last
ten days Its verifcation this week
was received with satisfaction by local
mining men. Ore is being extracted
and development work will be steadily
carried on.
Work on the Calumet d Cochise
shaft is being pushed and depth of
over 200 feet is attained Ore shows in
stringers and the character of the rock
is Of a quality to give encouragement
to the owners. In the line Of contact
the Calumet & Cochi'e would be the
next property to discover ore.
Work WAS actively begun this week
on the Bisbee Queen. A triple compart-
ment shaft has been started and build
ings are being erected A large force
of men are at work on the property
and the energy which has characteriz
eel the promotion of the company con
tnues with undated vigor A dia-
mond drill will be used 10 thoroughly
