A Recent Arrival Compares Warren With Other Mining Districts. A Fsvorite Outlook.

Fsvorite Outlook.
 H. B. Cute, who has travelled eXten- siyely in the mining district of North American and is civil and mining en- gineer, and a recent arrival in Bisbee, has the following to say of the Warren district:
 Many visitors to the Bisbee of to day, say Yes, it's great camp. Your mines now producing are listed among the ten largest copper mines of the world, and as the richest in per centage of that metal contained in their ores. Millions are being in vested in purchasing ground supposed to be underlaid with similar ore. Min ing men seem to have confidence in the existence of as large, or better mines than have yet been opened. There doesn't seem to be any trouble in sell ing well located property to people ac- quainted with the copper industry But, do you really think the produc. tion of copper will continue to increase yearly. or will it not be limited iD AdauSAlgs GNcAiNdlis IcdNu llfU ii, and that but a few years away?"
 Those acquainted with the general history of mining in other large dis tricts of the world. would not hesitate for moment in their answer. which would be a decidedly negative one The occurrence of ore in the Warren district is of such a nature. that the entire formation surrounding Bisbee will probably contain it in varying qualities and values. That every shaft sunk will strike paying ore bodies. is improbable. but not impossible That large number of them will. is more than probable. and that several now ip operation will encounter ore bodies that will put their properties on a par with any now in camp is almost cer tain. And that the prospects in gen. eral. for the new companies coming in. is better than any o-.her copper camp in the United States States ever had is fact.
 The copper country in Michigan. is one of the best known mining regions Of the world, and for fifty years has Been producing copper, and yearly in. creasing its production.
 The area of the mineralized zone is not large, being a small portion of the upper peninsula of that state. That area has been well prospected. yet in recent years some large mines have been operated that are today paving handsome dividends. Not all the pron critics in that district have been nav. ing propositions. any more than they nave Tn other districts. but the search TOT and development of ore bodies continues, and. while some may lose tne gain of others is sufficiently large to constantly argument the annual output.
 The geological formation of Lead vile IS similar to that of Risb.a since that great camp was opened in 1ef. there has been an upward move. nent in values produced. and there is no question but that the same will con unne for many more years. Like otb. CT camps it has had it's reyerses bu, none have more than temporarily checked it. No camp more fully con- tradicis the fact that when once large ore bodies have been opened, continu. oas development will find others, and that territory worthless on the market today, may in a few years he come as valuable as any in the dis trict.
 The ore at Bisbee exists at or near the contacts Of the lime and porphyry aikes. The country for miles around IS Of the same geological charactor. The mines now opened have shown the existence of ore over a fair sized area. That this area will increase as fast as other shafts have reached 2 depth sufficient to cut this ore zone is nG matter of conjecture. That other contacts may extend below the one now being worked is more than nrofa. Die. but as yet, has not been proven with Michigan mines hoisting 3 per cent ore from 5000 foot vertical shafts II IS not presumptious to say that Bis Dee companies can do the same thing with ore running 12 per cent and bef ter.
 bis0ee is now in it's infancy as a copper producer. But the prospectors claims are being transferred to com. panies, gallows frames supplanting the windlass. and the compartment shaft starts with the understanding that about thousand fest below the locs. ton notice there is every chance of striking ore; or deeper, if not there And very large portion of the money 10 do this work with, is coming from the people who have done it before and made money by doing SO"
 K. Hael returned yesterday mofnine from Huachuca mountains where he has been for the last few days doine assessment work on his claims there He brought back with him some yery fine copper specimens which show gray and suIphide copper in quantity
