Bisbee daily review., 1905-05-28

Wallace H. Hopkins has returned to the Michigan Country from an in spection of the Bonanza Circle Mines and writes of his trip to Iron Ore as follows:
 MT. G. A. Newett, Ishpeming, Mich.
 My Dear Mir. Newett:-Our party has returned to Milwaukee, having been away exactly twenty-nine days. The entire trip was made without de- lay or accident. You have a very fair idea of about what we went through as to endurance on such trip. We were received and s,~Dwn every cour- tesy at each property that we inspect ed, and out of them all we did not find a dead one. Of course, some properties were better than others, and others had good ore indications and some substantial development work done, but it takes brains and money to get ore out of the ground. They certainly go at things in the right way in the Bisbee district Ev- cry thing is indicative of activity.
 Their machinery and methods con vinced the uninitiated, that they know how to mine and one is impressed with the knowledge, that provided there is any ore to be had in the Bo- nanza Circle properties, it will be gotten out. do not know that l can betterexpress my meaning by saying. that they burst through things there and think very litSSs of it. Obstacles, that might stall others, do not seem to worry them at all.
 We arrived at Bisbee or Saturday about noon and took look around the surface of the Copper Queen, C. & A. and Del Norte claim, where they are sinking the new Hoatson shaft on c. P. Mir. Parnall was not there to re- ceive us, but MT. Paul, showed our party every courtesy. When wead- yised him that our time was limited, he arranged that we go down in the Junction that evening and we ar rived at the shaft at eight o'clock and met MT. John Farragh, who is in charge of the work there. After fit ting us out with hip boots and one

ed ore on the higher levels and then would go down to the lower levels and find the ore, and we certainly saw large bodies of it. They have enough ore in the vicinity of the Oliver shaft to last long time. We were down no the levels between the $50 and 1250 feet inclusive.
 We then walked through to the irish Mag shaft. We took the side track a couple of times in order to let the mules with a long string Of ore cars go by. When we got to the shaft and saw the ore cars at the storage sta tion and those big burly miners put ting on the loaded cars and taking off the empties with seemingly un- necessary rapidity, it was a sight worth the price of admission. I made the remark to MT. Harris that did not see why they should work SO fast. He said: lew make recorcs here The muscle that these fcl- lows should acquire is such that one might as well receive a blow from Hearst's Maude as from these fellows.
 We started through the workings in the vicinity of the. Irish Mag. and here is where they were certainly dotag business. Every man behind the car was on the run, and we had to re main on the side track for several sec tions to pass by. To attempt to tel you of the volume of ore would be be- yond my ability. The best way to determine this is to stand at the top of the shaft and see those cars coIt,e out, and how the ore is hustled into the dumps and hauled away in la,i- road cars to the shelter, and then sit down for a few minutes and wait for your dividends. Everything is hurly burly. You would think everybody in Bisbee was expecting to do as much
 work as they can in ten minutes. IIv-

and that he inspected all of the prop critics every day and that his knowl- edge of what he saw underground was used to designate whether or not certain districts showed ore or mar ketable value, or whether it was rock, or useless, and that their blue prints were made from such knowledge. In other words, when he says black is black. why it is black. We saw ore that looked pretty good to us, that MT. Gohring passed by with very few comments. It was only the very rlcn- est and largest bodies, that he par ticularly called our attention to.
 We went down in the No. 3 shaft and walked through to the Nc. 2 passing several crosscuts and q f.w mules that looked to be well fed. somewhere between these two shafts. we went down to the HOO foot level in a winze. It was there we saw he ore body that was struck from the drift of the No. shaft. What in pressed us greatly and I might say as much as anything in the L. s. & P. property. was the long crosscut, which shows 135 feet leached mate rial. We not only learned, but we were convinced, that they never fail to fifd the ore beneath it. It may be close by, or very much deeper, out it is a cinch that they will find it.
 Another matter that impressed me very favorably was the good air on these levels that when you take into consideration that your candle will not stay lighted in walking the dis tance of3 200 feet between the No. 2 and No. 8 shaft you will readily un- derstand, that it is pretty healthy down there.
 We then came up to the 1000 foot level and walked into the Pittsburgh & Duluth. The Pittsburgh & Duluth has a very good sho wof ore at this time, and as you know, it is all sul- phide, and is particularly adaptable for fluxing with the Lake Superior & Pittsburgh ore. It is certainly fortu- nate that they are able to produce at the same time and out of the same

This increase is due mainly to Arizona mines, but the tremendous develop ment in Utah. notably at Bingham and in the Frisco district, indicate that this state will soon take more prom inent place as a copper producer. When carefully studied, the figures show that the Lake Superior district can barely maintain its relative part of the average increase in the produc- ton and consumption of copper. that the same is true of the Montana mires, and that the Arizona mines will

At the present time the Boston and Mon tana mines of Butte are the greatest producers in the world. After them in prcductiveness come the Anaconda, Lake Superior and Rio Tinto mines, named in the order of their import ance.

Stock at $1O Par Value

The Cananea and Duluth Development Company is the outcome of recent visit of P. J. Tenancy to Duluth, where he placed the matter of the Swansea and Dos Naciones claims before some of the most prominent capitalists of Minnesota, among whom Hon. ". J. Powers Mayor of tine city Of Hip ping, Minn. p. R. Vail, H. L. Holden John Holman and A. C. MacManus, all prominent in Michigan mining circles
 MT. Powers is also Vice President of the Miners and Merchants Bank of Hibbing, Minn., and an off also in the bank at Chisholm. Those interested with him not yet known locally, but sufficient is shown when the statement is made that the ganization based upon 10000 shares at a par value of ten dollars per share, making capital of four hundred thousand dollars, and from the above telegram it will be that three hundred fifty thousand dollars of that amount has already been taken by parties with Mir. Power and residents of Duluth and Minnesota. But fifty thousand dollars of the capital stock is therefore left be taken by Cananea and Bisbee people.
 The properties, as all local people must be aware peculiarly well located, the Swansea and Dos Naciones lying directly adjoining the Cobre Grande and combinations the great bodies of the Greene companies claims, and consist of sixty per tenencias.
 The parties interested in the new development company are coming to Cananea, and will arrive here on or about June l. and work on the claims will be- gin not later than June 15. Already there is enty-fve shaft the Dos Naciones with ore at the bottom of the shaft and the full face thereof that it is producer from the start. The Swan is yet virgin territory, never having had any work done this claim but hanging to the Dos Naciones and immediately tackled on to the Cobre Grande, she cannot help but be heavy producer. On the Swansea another shaft is to be sunk, and with four hundred thousand dollars in hand to cute the development work it should not be Icas until the development company is turned into mining company as the lines of the companies in the Bonanza Circle at Bisbee.
