 A few straight forward facts con, scerning properties in the Bisbee sec tiqn of the Warren mining district in CSchise county, Arizona. controlled by heavy copper and iron men from Cal ginet, Mich, Pittsburg Pa. and Duluth 'Mnn
 This young giant, the Calumet and Arizona Mining company, has sprung into the arena of Arizona mining indus try with a suddenness that is a sur prise to the commercial world. In April. 1901. the company was organ ized with a capital stock of 250 900 shares, par value S1000 per share. Two hundred thousand shares of this stock was sod. and the funds applied on the development Of the property and the erection of a smelter. The developments proved so satisfactory that in the month of December 1901. contracts for a S00-ton smelter and large first motion hoist were let. along with preparations for every necessary incidental detail and facility.
 On the 18th day of November 1902, the smelter plant was blown in and since said date has averaged 1900 900 pounds of blister copper per month.
 In the month of August, 1902, con- tracts for doubling the capacity of the smeIter were let, and the management expect the increased facilities to be in operation early in the month of March, 1903. When the new details are added, the company expect to be in shape to produce 3 1000 900 pounds of copper per month. 4 third contract for increasing the capacity of this plant by adding another furnace along with incidental improvements is being let. The people controlling this property, as may be easily gathered from our introductory statement, have had long and splendid experience in opening up mining prop critics and in constructing and operat- ing reduction works, all of which sat is6es any intelligent observer, that the ample preparations being made in the way of a reduction system in Douglas is fully warranted by the presence of great ore bodies in the Calumet and Arizona mine in Bisbee.
 Along with al other standard pro ducers and legitimate dividenders, the Calumet and Arizona has always stunned notoriety, but when their aug mented reduction capacity shall be in operation, it will be impossible for them to escape a measure Of notoriety commensurate with the resources of the mine, which means that they will be reckoned as a conspicuous factor in the mighty galaxy Of copper producers.
 There is no question but what they will be whirling out their 3,000O00 pounds of copper per month before six months roll around, and the extraor- dinary comparison between the amount of ore reduced and the amount of bull lion produced, is sure to challenge the attention O. the commercial world.
 During the year 1902 this same syn dicate Of copper and iron mining men gathered in what is known as the Calu- met and Pittsburg, and the Lake Su- perior and Pittsburg. and are now en- saged in developing the property on the 900 and 1000 foot levels, and are preparing to sink from these levels to the 1 100 and 1900 foot points.
 No one acquainted with the district and the property doubts for moment but what these last named properties will become great producers with the necessary time and improvement, and no one acquainted with the promoters can question but what the necessary work will be done in the shortest possi- bIe time.
