 After several months of preparation the new hoist at the Holbrook shaft of the Copper Queen company went into commission yesterday morning aud is now working three shifts, lifting 1900 cars of ore through the shaft. The new hoist is similar in design to one in use at the Gardner, and will in- crease the output of the Holbrook two-fold.
 From the Bisbee Review.
 A deal of considerable importance that came to a close yesterday brought u M. J. Brophy, of this city, and F.S. Douglas, of Douglas, something like the tidy sum of SIP, 900. This amount was in exchange for the Garfield min ing claim. The deal was negotiated though Judge O'Connell, of this city Just who the purchasers are is not known to the public. H. A. Smith has appeared in the foreground for these. The presumption is that the deal is made for the American Development [ company. Either that, or it is for the Junction. The latter is not considered as prob lble. Tne Gartisld claim ad- joins Junction, aud is partially en- closed by the geoup of Pirrung claims that were lately taken up by MT. Smith on cash deal, also presumably made in the interest of American De- velopment. Me. Brophy and Mr. Douglas were equal owners in the Gar field claim.

COPPER QUEEN SHELTER
 MAKES PHENOMENAL RUN

We learn from our Bisbee exchanges that all records of the production of copper bullion for any one month in the history of copper making in the southwest were broken last month by the Copper Queen smelters of Douglas The output of copper bullion for March is S,O00,00 pounds. The gross value of the production at the present price of copper is over d million and a quarter dollars.
 The output of the mines at Bisbee is being increased and new ore bodies are being opened up to such an exten t that additional smelter capacity is necessary. To meet this demand three new furnaces are being installed and will be put in operation as soon as possible. Part of the material for these furnaces is already on the ground. These new furnaces will be the largest in the southwest and will have combined capacity equal to the seven in operation.
 When the ten furnaces are produc- ing the Copper Queen will take first place at producer of bullion copper in the United States and the world. The Anaconda mine has held first place, its production in 1903 being 93, 100000 pounds. The Copper Queen will f2r exceed this during this year.

 The report is current that good sul. phide ore has been struck in the lower level on the Niagara vein of the Congress gold mine.
 The Octave Mining company, Yav- apai county, which was compelled to suspend operations on account of the prJtracted storms, will soon resume on large scale.
 F. NJ. Murphy assured the Prescott Herald that the custom smelter for the Val Verde was certa nty. Con- struction work will begin soon and the company will be ready to buy ore by June The capacity of the plant will be 600 tons, to be enlarged as oc- casion demands.
 The Orc Graude Mines company has it's property developed by over coco feet of openings. The main shaft is down 3i0 feet. Tne company's ten- stamp mill is running on high grade, free-milling ore. The Orc Grande mine is situated six and one-half miles north of Wickenburg.
 From the Prescott Courier.
 The Hin Hardware company Tues. day morning last sold one of their pat ent sheet iron rockers to man who took it to some point near tow and cleaned up $l4.75 gold dust in one and one-half hours. He would not tell where he got the gold.
 It is stated that work will be re sumed on both the Poland and Con. gress mines in the near future on a large scale. The capacity of the stamp mill at Poland is to be increased. These properties are being handled by the Development Company of Amer ica. the directors of which are now here and will accompany 2. NJ. Mur- phy to Poland.
 Henry w. Campbell Harry Miller and o. F. Bacon, Chicago and Detroit capitalists, have purchased the Pine Mountain mine. near Walker, which has produced s2O0,O0O. The property has considerable development work and ten-stamp mill. The new own. CTS will work the property on larger scale Ghanit vas ever worked before The work will proceed from the main shaft, now down 400 feet.
 Lester Jackson has enlisted Dstroit capital to develop and operate the | California and Illinois quartz claims in Copper basin. The ore bodies range in width from one foot to three feet The main values are gold, but there are copper sulphurets which run iron 10 to 15 per cent copper. The people who are embarking in this enterprise are heavy capitalists, whom Mir.

 John Wilson, a former member of the English parliament, director Of the Arizona Copper company, and W. Exley Miller, secretary of the compa- ny, are at Clifton. John Gill, MT. Me Nab and J. c. Hopkins,all directors of the company, are expected from the east Sunday and President Oolquhoun is also expected from California. They will spend some days at Clifton, look ing over the property of the company. All of these gentlemen have visited the property before, and are familiar with it.
 From the Lordsburg Liberal.
 Since the first of the year heavy rains have caused great deal of trouble to the reduction works at Clifton. The Arizona Copper comp pany has lost about twenty days and the Shannon company about twenty-five days. The reason of the shutdown of both smelters was a lack of ore, caused by the Coronado road being washed out. The Arizona company lost less time than the Shannon company be cause it could bring ore from the Long fellow which is lower down the noun. tain than the shannon mine, and the track would be open to the Longfellow first.
 From the Clifton Era.
 Alex. Mclean, uperintendent of the Metcalf mines, was in town Sun day last He recently returned from a trip through Nevada, but on account of heavy snow he did not go to Gold fields. His opinion is that Arizona is far superior to Nevada as mining country.

Where Mining, the Chief Industry
 Is very Active

Two hudred cars of orc was shipped from the mines and dumps of the Tombstone Consolidated Mining com pany during the month of March, to the Fl Paso smelter. It is thought l the present month will show an in crease Of shipments.
 The Calumet & Arizona produced during the year 1901, as shown by the report of the directors, 15,Sl9 tons of refined copper. The gold recovered amounted to sl9j, ,926,lS, averaging ,N2.jS per ton of copper refined. The average price received for refined cop per was l2l cents per pound. Divi- d3nds were paid amounting to sl,- 3OO,OOO.
 Shipments to the Douglas smelters from BiSbee are now averaging about goo tons daily. They will soon be ex- ceeding this figure by near third. A year ago the tonnage was hardly two thirds Of what it is today. At Douglas the ere received is going into the AsmelterS just about as fast as it comes 10 hand, though recently an endeavor
 has been made to get reserve supply established at both tho smelters.
 The combined copper output of the &C0pper Queen and Calumet x Arizona Smsters at Douglas for March was F O., LOO, 600. The same rate main tained d Y AthrJugh the year would give a produc' ! tIon for 1905 of l2G.

c. D. Reppy and B. E. Schilling went to the Silver King mine this week. MT. Reppy has been placed in charge of the property as agent.
 The machinery for the Arizona & Pacific Copper company, which has been held up at the depot by washouts for four weeks was run up to Zellewa. ger switch this week aud will be haul ed in to Woolley by teams from there.
 The engine and boiler for the leach ing plant to be erected on the Gila river, nine miles from Florence, after lying at the depot for the past six weeks, was shipped by train to Coch rane's siding Tuesday, and will be transported by teams from there to its destination. Everything is in readi, ness for it's immediate installation and it is expected that the plant will be in operation and turning out bullion within the next two or three weeks.
 Supt. w. B. Twltchell, of the Big Lead Mining company, operating the McCallem-Schillings property at Ray, started up the old Bobtail mill, on the 5th, on ore from the aboye.named property. The ore is an excellent grade of concentrates, carrying metal lic sulphides of copper, commonly called glance. The work at the mines is making splendid showing. They are now opening up the l30-foot cross cut level and have uncovered by this work 4-per cent copper ore body that extends from the shaft to the present end of the eros scut level. It is the ore from this body that they are concen- trating at the mill. They expect to install teaching plant as soon as the storms are over and they can depend on the railroads again.
 Thos. F. ' eedin, the editor of the Blade went to Kelvin Sunday to exam. inc the McSherry properties and report on plan of development work. Before returning he went to Ray and bought 300 feet of track and car, to be used in running 300 foot tunnel on the Midday mine, recently taken over by Pittsburg parties on his report. These properties are situate about one and a half miles from Kelvin, on the south side of the river, and belong to Tom Hall and Harry Lane, who have been given the tunnel contract. The claims cover mountain of iron sulphurets, carry two per cent copper on the sur face, but showing proper conditions to insure an increase of the copper values with depth. The Blade editor returned from Kelvin Wednesday night and left immediately for Pima county on telegraphic orders to sample properties there.
