Bisbee daily review., 1903-03-12

by fire The town of Benson has clipped in on the enterprise, supple mented by local capital which will be manipulated in such a way as toi keep the enterprise out of the hands of the trusts, and insure steady busi- ness in that district It will be of a capacity approximately of 100 tons
 The foundation is already laid and some machinery on the ground. The Peabody.
 From the same source we learn that the Peabody, owned and operated by the Federal Shelter at Fl Paso is in full operation. The property carries gold and copper and employees about $ men. They haul their ore to Cochise station on the s. P.
 The Dixie
 The Dixie people. who have nine aims about ? miles southwest of the Dragoon station, are practic ally inac- tive at the present time. They have a good looking property, but have done little in the direction of work for some time.
 The Old Terrible
 Mir. Stone states that the Old Terri ble. formerly the Golden Rue. is look ing well. The property is situated about four and one-half mi es easterly ! from Dragoon summit. and about
 miles south of Manzuma station on the ! s. P. They have struck an ulimited supply of good water at 200 feet. 1 fortunate circumstance for the camp.
 They have a fine plant worth $50 900. | consisting of stamp mill and concen-
 trating plant The property carries | gold and is in fine shape.
 The stone-Oa.y Property. This property is about miles north
 east of the Old Terrible. and about [
 miles northeast of the Commonwealth at PeaTce. and about 3 miles southwest of Dragoon station. The group consists of 6 unpatented claims, and the pres
 net owners have owned them for six years. during which time they have looked carefully after the title work. They are well fixed for timber and lum- Der, and an abundant supply of water has always been obtained in that local 1 fly at a depth not exceeding 200 feet. | The formation is ideal. On the west of the vein, granite, and on the east dolomitic limestone. It is also well
 represented in porphyry and slate, and fevery form of rock usually associated with gold. The Carbonate has a 60- foot shaft on a 2-foot vein of gold quartz, another 20 feet deep. both i showing good ore, 50 tons of which is ! on the dumps. Other parts of the , group have development work in the form of shafts, tunnels, drifts and
 open cuts, to an extent that demon strates the property to be permanent producer No shipment has been made nor preparations for reduction opera tions begun. and no assays have been
 submitted for publication. The daily output of ore, however, is about 25 tons The ground is of a character necessitating little timbering. and every natural facility which one could 1. desire is in prominent evidence. ! The Black Diamond Mir Stone is loud in his praise of the Black Diamond, copper proposi- tion situated about 3 miles southwest of the Stone-Daley group. The ore body is of a quality and magnitude
 which places it on the list of heavy pro
 ducers, while the neat 100-ton smelting , plant challenged his admiration, for ) every feature which goes to make up a perfect reduction system of that size
 and character.
 The Buena Vista
 The Buena Vista is further up in the , mountains and a little bit difficult to
 reach by the ordinary modes of con
 veyaRce. They have a 200-foot shaft , which ran on a 9-inch vein of copper ! for the first so feet, and suddenly de veloped feet Of ore which is improv, ing all the way down.
 ! Other Properties
 The. Commonwealth is about miles southwest of the Stone and Day group. IL is one of the recognized leading gold producers of the territory, being an inexhaustible body of fair grade
 ore. The management, however, have always been exceedingly foxy about giving out facts and figures concern
 ing their property and its operations. $$SS
 William Four. John B. Gregory and
 Dick Warren, own a fine group near
 the Stone and Daily, in the Pearce dis
 trict. They are old miners and devote !; their time to improving their property. Victor Clements owns several claims in about a mile of the Stone and Daly
 group which are looking up sp,endidly as development work proceeds. Asa Walker is doing thriving busi-
 ness gathering wolfromite out of the : gulches in the upper Dragoon district land shipping it. It has become quite
 an industry among miners and prospec. [ tors in that locality.
