THE EXACT SITUATION IN
 THE WARREN pjsTalc

We owe it to our patrons, to our selves, to every legitimate mining man in the Warren district and to the honest investor, to state the sit uation in this and every otherdistrict precisely as it is. We undertake to carry reliable mining department and we propose to live up to our promise, let come what may We have infinite faith in the Warren district, and belIeve that we have tho finest district on the coast, but some times. unpalatable details are en- countered, and it is better for the whole district in the long run to make a clean breast of Everything. If the public observes that we have nothing but praise for every thing that is mentioned, they will natural iy settle down to the confusion that we are out for every two dollar bill that is held out to us. and subsidized by every cheap concern in the coun- try. If we hew to the line, which We can well afford to do in this mag
 
 impose confidence in us as a reliar ble medium of mining information. and in the long run it will be vastly better for the Review and for the whole district.
 In conformity with this fixed poli- cy we shall now attempt a resume of the mining situation in this distric5, exactly as it exists.
 The Warren district is in the front rank Of copper producers. Our fondest desire is to keep it there Everything in this section bears legitimate brand. we intend it always shall We have two pro ,ducers which are absolute record breakers The old pioneer conpa- ny, "The Copper Queen for twenty two years has sprung one surprise upon another on the mining worIi. until today it ranks among the most remarkable and unfailing producers in the history of the industry. The Calumet & Arizona is scarcely two years old, yet it has brought forth marvellous results. In that short pe- riod it has developed the mine, put in first class smslting plant of a capacity of 600 tons per day. opened up the finest silicate dyke in the ter ritory. put up one of the finest hoists on the coast, and arep ulling the rich est copper ore on record out Of a double compartment shaft in quan- titles commensurate with the capae-
 ity of the smelter.
 Besides this, several other proper
 ties have practially become produc-
 CTS, such as the Lowell, the Gardner, the Calumet & Pittsburg and the
 South Bis6ee No. 2. On the side, the
 Modern, on the extreme north has
 not gone beyond the 200, and the prospects. it must be conceded are ab- soluteIy fattering for the amount of
 development which has been accom- plished. Tn the Copper Glance on
 the extreme south depth of 300 feet has been attained. They have just broken through the consfomer-
 ate, and have struck water. strong
 ly Impregnated wittI copper, along
 with soft formation, the best con dition they could possibly hope for.
 They do not expect ore in the shaft.
 They want the shaft in country" but are drifting under Bald Mountain,
 which has the finest surface indica-
 tons for copper We have ever seen.
 h any event the Copper Glance
 people, have right to feel highly en- corraged for the following reasons.
 Judging as nearly as it can be done,
 they are in line with the big produe- Iers in Bisbee. ., The surface indica- tions are strikingiy similar. They have only attained depth of 800 feet,
 while the Spray, the Calumet & Ari- zona. the Lowell the Pittsburg, the
 South Bisbee and other properties. ali had to go below 800 feet before they struck anything.
 I As to the outlying and undeyeloped properties in the district. there is a tendency in certain cases to ask more
 than the prospects justify. Oi course every man is owner of his OWE property. but it were better for him his neighbor and the whole section ii he would place figure correspondins } with the merits of his property, sd far as they can be ascertained. Ar : individual may get excited, but capi ! tai never does We do not know oi ? any one who is trying to bunco tho ? investor, but there are many who are standing in their own light. The, 5 are perfectly conscious about II 5 but they have a magnificent idea Q I their possessions.
 el What we are after is to hedge 2 against a reaction or the magnihcen :. wave of prosperity which the Wiarrel l1 district is now enjoying. The onil s way to secure permanent success Il e our field is to be truthful, careful an f conservative. If we succeed In tel s ing the whole truth, it is briilian l enough, it is not necessary to magni l. fly our resources or cover up our dt 2 fects. A true statement of the sitr C stion is good enough for any bod, d Cochise county in general and th l. uya rrysu district in particular is de.
