 While this is company but seldoD rentioned among the Bisbee group let in way il has in the past been oi One greatest importance to the copper country of Michigan. It was through She Copper King of Arizona that sEe Warren district was first introduced tC the Michigan mining investors, and from the interest started then the great properties Of Bfsbee, aside from ole Copper Queen. have been devel cped.
 The Copper King of Arizona has two properties-the Bisbee group, in the Warren district. and the Barret group fn the Turquoise district, both in Go ehise county. The Bisbee group ad- toins the Copper Queen on the west and north. lying partly on the opposite side of the canyon and against the porphyry dike opposite from the Cop per Queen. The property was first introduced to the Michigan investors ey w. A. Bateman. of Calumet, in the xpring of 1899.
 He had become interested in the Garren district through correspond ence. The Copper King at that time Gas the most extensively developed property there outside of the Copper Queen Il was the wish of the owners df the Copper King to push further de xelopments, ana they endeavored to secure Michigan capital for that pur- pcse. Ar. Bateman succeeded in in tsresiipg some Michigan mining men dn tha; account, and the floating and subsequent opening of the Calumet & Arizona were the results.
 There was more or less dispute con- eerning the title to portions of the Copper King property, and this tended Q oissuade interest from the enter prise at the time it was first intro duced to the Michigan people. The company has now secured patents to the Barrett group, and will soon have patents to the Bisbee group. Now Chat the legal troubles are over, it is the intention 10 raise more money for lhe purpose of sinking the Bisbee Shaft frcm 200 to 300 feet deeper and e develop the Barrett group. This purpose will be furthered by the fact that in March the company will re- eeive SIS. .250 which is cue from the Solomon Springs Copper company, yho furnished the property now being explored by the Houghton Develop Ktent company.
 The Copper Kings deepest Bisbee Ef,aft, situated but short distance from the Calumet & Arizona's and the Copper Queens principal openings, is down only eco feet. with 300 feet of drifting. It is figured that if these xhafts were carried from 200 to 300 feet deeper, they would stand a show equal to any of the prospects in the Warren district of striking an ore , body
