Bisbee daily review., 1903-10-18

oughly Explored.
 On Friday the Stock of the Mountain View Development company was placed on the market in Bisbee. This is a company that has been organized during the past two weeks. an1 has for its purpose the development of a group of claims lying northwest from Bisbee and which have been worked in a desultory manner for the past four or five years. The owners during that time have had many 1at.ering offers for the development o; the ground from outside sources, but in each case the offer was refused, ana about a month ago the owners decided to incorporate company themscl. es and place the stock on sale in the To- cal market. Friday stock certificates were being offered, and Saturday it was stated by the management of the company that the sales footed up more than $2y500. This has been sub scribed without any solicitation on the part of the company, but was taken voluntarily by men about town who have long been acquainted with the merits of the proposition.
 The officers of the new company, who will direct the affairs of the cor poration, are : George Bennett, p-esi- dent; H. M. Woods, vice president; Ganor S. Crockett, secretary, and l. F. Holmes, treasurer. The deveiopm' mt work at the property will be directed by MT. Holmes, and the general affairs of the company will be under the su- pervision of Mir. Bennett.
 The office of the new company will be temporarily in the office of Kinsey & Mcdonald, but in few days they will open their own office in the Du- sbacher building.
 The first work to be done or he property is the driving of tnune. on the lead. which has already progressed a short distance. and is in ore all the way. Assays from the ore already cn the dump has ranged from $4 to sli in gold, from to 50 per cent copper and from 112 to 115 ounces in silver.
 The new company is not making aEy special effort to attract outside cap ital, but expects to be able to conduct their operations through the means of local capital.
 THE BELL SIGNAL CODE.
 All miners realize the necessity of a uniform comprehensive and common sense code of bell signals in under. ground mines. On these signals their lives daily depend and mistake is often attended with fatal conse- quences. There is at present no uni. formity in the bell signals now in use throughout the United States, though there are two in most common use. One is that which has been legalized by legislative enactment in some of the states and the other Is that sug- gested by the Western Federation of Miners. The latter has been given widespread publication, and there has been an effort made to have it univer- sally adopted, but this code is def' cient and one likely to result in the injury or death of men who work un' der it. It is unfortunate that some journals have published the code of the Western Federation of Miners with the editorial statement that 'it has been universally adopted by all mines in the United States west of the Missouri river." for such is not the case. If the code of the Fedora. ton were revised in such manner as to make 1t free. from objection, by reason of its present shortcomings there would be no objection to its un. versal adoption. It Is a subject ol too great importance to be lightly disposed of.
