heavy timber for this company has been sidetracked, and it cannot be located A new hoist has been pu-- chased and will be brought to the property as soon as the necessary
 preparations have been made. Work on the shaft has been conducted by means of a windlass. and a depth of sixty feet has been attained. but this slow work and the company will rush matters as soon as the hoist is in- stalled. They anticipate an abund- ance of ore in less than another hun dred feet as the vein has continued in the shaft all the way down. and is in- creasing iR extent and the rock is be- coming more decomposed and infiltra;- ed with copper sulphides as the depth increases. The shaft is a doube- compartment. and is being well tim bered and it is proposed to make large surface improvements at once.

PORTAGE LAKE & BISBEE.

The pumps and additional machin- cry equipment for this property have been en route from the Lake Superior district for nearly thirty days. and should put in an appearance at Don Luis station very shortly. This is the machinery which is coming from the Arcadian and Phoenix mines. near Calumet, Michigan. and is thoroughly modern and of large capacity. The Arcadian is the Lake Superior proper ty which was largely financiered by the Chicago LeopOlds. the same people who are now largely interested in the Higgins. of Warren district.
 At the Portage Lake. timber is being received and everything possible will be done to move fast when once the machinery gets stationed. The slight depth. 120 feet. already sunk here does not enable much to be said of the ground encountered. but favorable symptoms were noticed. and a chain left hanging in the shaft water for sev- eral days was heavily coated with green copper stains. which should be considered a favorable indication.

In the upper tunnel which is several hundred feet above the shat station. and in the tunnel d. distance from the entrance of about 150 feel. a winze has been started and wIll be sunk. in the hope of encountering ore in that section of the property. Also at the level of the shaft station. and 200 feet west of the shaft the iong tunnel which extends back into the mountain several hundred fee5 will probably be similarly used. and thus development work will be in progress simultaneously at three different points In the shaft. which has now attained a depth of l50 feet. the same class of formation continues, decayed limestone with marked mineral tracings This is maintaining the original pace of about 100 feet of deDth per month, and no .iorbt Superintcn- dent Parnall's men will be equal to the task of maintaining it steadily.

GENERAL CONDITIONS.

Nothing Of startling nature has oc- cured in the Bisbee field during the past week. Steady progress is re- ported a nearly all of the large prop erties in inc district. and the many deep holes in the earth's crust here abou.s have been Ter down still further.
 A gratifying amount of new ground has been opened out in the producers and the favorable symptoms encoun- tered by those who have not yet shown I'D large ore bodies continue with ur- wavering steadiness.
 The usual midsummer dullness may be said to be on just now. if indeed such a term is ever applicable here but the generally healthy tone to the mining situation. observable through out the southwest, leads all 10 believe that the coming season will see a steady continuance of the pronounced activity. HOW the normal condition here.
 Heavy shipments of timber and other supplies for the development companies continue 10 arrive and the advent of several companies into the active list is a pleasing and reassuring event.
 Stock trading is a matter that may be said 10 be unimportant here. and therefore a feverishness usually at tribu.ed to that cause is lacking, but there are many wise ones who assert that the absence of stock-jobbing is really a benefit to the camp. How ever that may be. it is probable that advancing months will see d greater valume Of this kind of business done in Bisbee
 The apparent advent of the rainy season is generally welcomed. as the water supply of the district has come down to a pretty low ebb.
 The situation in Michigan with re gard 10 local companies shows nothing new that may be mentioned. Ths confidence in this camp remains as strong as ever. and developments are being awaited patiently.

GEORGE 4. kOENIC.
Noted Mineraioeist Gives Views Of
 Warren Minino District


 Professor George A. koenig. of the Michigan College of Mines, was inter- viewed by Review representative recently. and talked entertainingly on various subjects.
 The great educator finds much to de plore in the all too com1non practice 0f overestimating mining properties of all kinds and the faking methods of many so-called mining experts wore denounced in unmeasured terms.
 MT. Koenig believes that these. of ten untrained and unintelligent aiven- turers. usually work harm to a con- munity by overestimating even good forts 10 obtain wealth hastily. and he also believes that the Warren district does not require any efforts of this kind, as it has already astonished the world with the greatness of it's ore bodies
 After a preliminary scientific de scription of local formations, the pre- lessor said of the zone of mineral which centers at the Copper Queen that as radiation goes on. it is sure tn get thinner, unless secondary boiies come in of which there are no surface indications.
 The geological conditions at the Cop per Queen are overwhelmingly imnres sive of an extraordinary metamorphc sis of rocks. and hence the concentra ton of valuable ore. He asserted that he had not seen a second place jr which there was such a concentrati )n

SULLIVAN DRILLS.

The rock drills manufactured and sold by the Sullivan Machinery com pany. which have been introduced by MT. Carpenter. with headquarters at Fl Paso. are proving their excellence to all who have been induced t. install them. At Congress these drl's have been adopted exclusively by Superin- tendent W. F. Staunton. who has nri. ten a letter to MT. Carpenter express ing his qualification with the splendid work done by the drills. Wherever these drills have been used they have given complete satisfaction.

THE COPPER OUTLOOK.

The price of copper is slowly going down. and those interested in the in- dustry. either as producers. consumers OF dealers. are watching the market with interest. if not anxiety. It is thought by some who are in a position 70 know the real condition of things. and who are as thoroughly informed as 10 supply and demand as modern means of information will admit that the present lowering price is only tenn pOrary. Large consumers have not yet made their annual contracts, and are said 70 be stock--aking at the pres ent time. This done. extensive orders are expected. which will stimulate tho price. and a recovery to 15-cent copper is anticipated in consequence. The optimistic ones also say that the shut ting off of production of about 20 ,000,- 900 pounds of the Anaconda Montana, output. necessitated by the shutdown of those works for several months dur ing the summer. to enable them to make improvements in the reduction plant, will have a tendency 70 aid then market It is contended that none of the large producers have any consider able amount of metal on hand. The export trade, however. ias fallen cff considerably and prices in Europe are relatively lower than in New York
 Copper has had a very favorable year and the high market price. to- gether with the cheapening of cost of production in many districts. has had the effect of stimulating production in a marked degree. The demand for copper has apparently kept pace with the production. however and there Is no immediate indication that there will be a material decrease in the re- quirement of copper. Throughout the industrial world there is a demand for cheaper power. no matter what the price may have previously been. Tn many instances this demand is met by electric installation. which calls for large amounts of Mining and Scientific Press

CALUMET & BISBEE.

lt is perhaps quarter of a mile from Don Luis station. and up a gentle incline. to the shaft of the Calumet & Bisbee Development company. and the shaft site is one of the best in the district. being at a slight elevation from the E. P & S W main line The dump at this shaft has a dark mineral stain which is said to be largely of iron. It was just six months on Wednesday since ground was first broken here. and consequently the shaft depth of 575 feet is a sinking record to be proud of. This property. with it's sister, the Calumet & Cochise. are known to be general favorites, and it can be truly asserted that the work on both is being rapidly and well done.
 So far. the Bisbee hoist has proven competent to do the work at the shaft. but the new 3.00O-foot capacity hoist is expected shortly. the engine bed being in readiness to receive it Two eighty horse power boilers and a four-drill Norwalk compressor are in use at present. No water has been encoun- tered. and everything looks favorable to the rapid advancement of sinking operations No drifting is contem- plated here until a greater depth is reached.

No water and about the same character of rock is the reported situ- alton here. though all the neighboring properties refer to the Cochise as one of the leading favorites. A new bunk house and other surface improvements have been made. and an abundance of supplies is observable above the shaft on the hillside.

MEXICAN PROSPERITY.

Every report which comes from our sister republic brings news of unusual prosperity in that country. The de. velopment of the mines of Mexico is pushed forward with energy in every section of the country and the results are so encouraging that it gives assur- ance that the work has only jus. begun
 Americans going into the interior of Mexico are somewhat surprised at the poverty among the lower classes but always pleased at the industrial de- vel0pment going on which means bet ter coalitions for all in the future. Americans and American capital may be found everywhere and are gaining ground rapidly.
 Tn the City of Mexico business is good and property values have almost doubled during the past three years.
 There are plenty of cheap lands in Mexico for those who want to go there ard work them.
 Everybody agrees that Mexico's greatest resource is mining and that eventually she will be the leading min ing country of the world There are portions of Mexico which will never be fit for anything but mining. There is also good farming and timber especially down on the coast.
