Bisbee daily review., 1903-12-13

the Reviews representatives visit this week. The formation in nearly all of them had changed for the bet ter. and in at least four of them-the Calumet & Bisbee. Calumet & Co chise. Wolverine and Higgins proper ties they are expecting to strike the ore body at any time. New machin- cry and pumps are being added to that already on hand in several of the mines, so that work may progress faster and in better shape. At the
 wolverine Mining Go.
 They have gone through the hard flint like rock that was encountered last week. and have struck sort of a tale and iron formation, full of cop per stains. Superintendent Hunt states that this is a most favorable indication, and his men are worked up over the indications. and believe that every time they shoot the ore body will be struck. A new compress sor has arrived at the mine and will be put in place at once. The water in the mine does not bother any, but on the contrary has proven to be of great advantage. as il is being used entirely now in the boilers, and will prove of greater benefit when the com pressor is put in. as it takes great deal of water to run this.
 Red Jacket & Bisbee.
 This property is situated only a short distance from the Wolverine, and is superintended by Stuart Hunt. the superintendent of the Wolverine and it may not be inappropriate at this time to give the personnel of the company, which is as follows: Presi- dent. Edward Ryan; Vice-President, Frank Ham; Secretary. John B. Cur tis; Treasurer, Edward F. Cuddihy; Wm H. Roberts, Jr.. Clerk.
 There is a three-compartment shaft on this property, all well timbereo, and it had reached a depth of 1O5 feet at the time of our visit. The bot tom of the shaft is in lime and iron with here and there streaks of real tale, which is a very favorable in- dication for ore.
 White-Tailed Deer.
 This property is also only a short distance from the Wolverine. and the lesssees are doing considerable work there. They have uncovered a great deal of low grade ore, but as it will not pay to ship. they have cleaned out the old incline, which had been filled up with gob and muck, and are now following a vein that is yielding some fine high grade ore. It is their inten- ton now to crosscut this both ways, and they expect to take out a large quantity during the coming months. The rich ore in this mine is nearly all on the surface, and lays on a bed of white tale.
 Modern Mine.
 4 visit to this mine on Monday showed much activity in the way Of preparation. pump station is be- ing cut on the 20O-foot level to receive the pumps that are now on the way Upon the arrival and installation, the work of sinking will be continued on this. the main shaft A new two-com. partment shaft will also be commenc- ed about 1000 feet west of the present shaft, and directly under large blow out that gives every indication of plenty of ore underneath. Work will also be resumed on the shaft three quarters of mile distant from the main workings, which is rich n silver and lead. At depth of 90 feet there is ledge of four feet wide that as. says 16 ounces in silver, a traee of gold, and ten per cent lead ans tn-ee per cent copper. It is the intention of the new management to con:inue sinking on this shaft. and if he con- ditions continue. as depth is attained to sack the ore and make regular ship ments to the smelters at Fl Paso. The mine is situated only four miles from Banning Station, and as it is all down grade, shipments can be made at very little expense.
 Higgins Development CO.
 There is considerable more work going on at this property this week than last. Work is now going or ia three different places in the mine. The work of sinking in the main shaft is progressing; also in the old tunnel formerly run by Tom Higgins, and in which several stringers of copper ore have been found, and also in a winze The water in the main shaft remains about the same, and is not causing any trouble. The formation now being gone through is lime and iron.
 Mountain View.
 Two more men were added to the working force this week to assist in finishing up the assessment work. Tn two of the holes where the assessment work is being done, good ore has been encountered, although the superin- tendent cid not expect to find it there. The tunnel is now in fifty-four feet. and is in good ore in the breast This ore assays three dollars in gold, twen- ty-five dollars in silver, and fifty d,l-
