Bisbee daily review., 1903-07-26

ability of the men in charge of the development of this property that the Glance is not only a good gamble, but is a very good investment as well Taking into consideration the recent ore encounters in properties so far umet & Pittsburg and the Lake Su- perior and Pittsburg the belief in more distant sections is being steadily augmented, and furthermore the feel ing that the ore bodies are necessarily confined to the immediate vicinity Of the Copper Queen and the Calumet & Arizona is being put aside as be- ing unworthy of confidence and not in line with what has been found to be true in other sections of the southwest. From the Copper Glance shaft and just half a mile be-ond the Glance station and the big railroad trestle is another surface showing of notable extent, and which has been found to be rich in both lead and silver. and every foot of ground in that vicinity has been pros pected and staked out into claims, and down the railway at point two miles beyond Glance station party of sur veyors is at work at the present time Continuing from Bisbee to the Glance, aud beyond to the Mexican frontier. the contact s being operated on by the Marquette & Arizona company. about midway between the Glance and the national border.
 The Glance is working all the men that can possibly be useful in rushing work on the new pumps and other machinery, in preparation for the re- newaI of sinking work. which MT. Watkins, the husthng foreman, an ticipates will be possible by August I
 The road which has been cut up 10 the shaft is being continued around and down on the opposite side of the eulch. Both of the fourteentcn ma ripe boilers. with their seventy one foot stacks, are in place, and smoke from the Glance furnaces has already shown over Bald mountain.
 A fifty porse power friction-geared hoist, the latest type produced by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, is being made ready for active service but first attention is given to the pumps. which are now in place ana the pipes all lined in the shaft and the connections being made. Patent coV- ering for the pipes and boilers is stacked up in large quantities, and an abundance of all necessary supplies Is noticeable The two-compartment shaft. which is down 505 feet, has been in pretty hard ground, but softer rock is looked for soon. At the bottom, a drift 15O feet and crosscut of 11O 1 feet has been run, encountering good indications in the porphyry, and ledge matter in the crosscut.
 A metal water tank of 2l 900 gallons
 capacity is stationed up the hill from | the shaft site, and into this big holder will the water from the shaft be poured as soon as the pumps are | started. Threequarters Of mile over the hill. and near the Bisbee Con solidated. is an old shaft of the Glance
 some 200 feet deep. but imperative at
 present. A neat row of cottages and
 a commodious boarding house, which
 is kept by Mrs Maud Davis, stand
 part way up the hill to the shaft A
 postoffice for Glance is thought to Dc one of the prime necessities of that
 section. and a petition recently circu lated soon had sixty names attached
 to it. and a reply from the postoffice officials is being anxiously anticipated
