Bisbee daily review., 1905-05-11

days on account of extensive repairs being made to the stand and hood has again been blown in. The entire bat tery of six stands are now in commis- sion and ready for continuous opera ton but for the present at least only five will be kept blowing.
 Three car loads of structural iron for the extension of the shelter build ing at the Copper Queen arrived yes terday and was switched into the words. Twelve of the immense iron piers for this extension have been erected and the girders and roof trees swung into place. In all there are twenty-eight piers to be erected mak- ing the extension 250 feet in length and the full width of the old shelter building. The concrete foundations are all in place and the structural work is being erected as fast as the iron arrives and it can be swung into place. The roof has been placed on a part of that already erected. Prac- | tically all of the iron structure for the additional flue chambers are in place and the brick is on the ground ready for the masons. The work is pro pressing rapidly and satisfactorily to the company.
 MT J. Goebel, the head electrician working at the Copper Queen. is a very interesting citizen and could tell some interesting experiences if he were mind to do so He was head | electrician with Dewey's fleet at Ma nilla during and after the battle of Manila and saw that big naval battle in the far eastern waters with his ! g- unostentatious citizen and goes about his work in a methodical easy way that bespeaks the gentleman and a man of experience in the affairs of the world
 The grading for the new slag tracks at the Copper Queen is progressing rapidly. Quite a number of teams are kept at work and dozens of laborers kept busy on this piece of coustruc- | ton which will shortly be completed. i The big smoke stack at the Calumet and Arizona smelter is rapidly reach | ing its maximum height of 200 feet It is now above the 190 foot mark and the last piece of sheet steel will be placed in position before the end of | the week if the wind don't blow" The | boys who are erecting the big stack do not work on the stack of windy days. While there is very little vi- | bration in the stack a hard wind makes work so high up in the air pecuilarilly hazardous. They have al ready commenced to erect the struc- tural iron for the big flue chambers and have enough iron work at the c. & A. mapped out ot keep them busy | for GOrOp months n como
 The highest smoke stack ever erected in the world is the one com pleted a few days ago at Tacoma, Washington. fer the use of the smelter in that city. It is BOT feet high and built of brick and was erected for the purpose of abating the smoke nuis- ance in the south part of the city on the sound. The last man who came down off of the stack when it was finished had an exciting and thrill | ling experience which he will not want again to repeat Attempting to come down on the iron ladder after all of the scaffolding had been removed he lost his hold of the steps and | slipped down the rope at lightning express speed holding on with a, death grip to the rope with his barehands, which was slipping through his hands, like "greesed lightning" He has no recollection of what occurred on the trip and was. unconscious when he landed on terra firma Outside of badly lacerated rair of hands which were torn and bloody he was not ser iously hurt.
 The Bisbee gentlemen who gre de veloping a property adjoining 1ha old Jack Rabbit mine, in he Casa Grande district, Pinal county, have uncover cd some TcTy large soid bearing cI e bodies and recently male a mill test of the ore at the Turning Point mill. says the Blade They put through about 40 tons, from which they got a par of gold bullion Salue3 at over g. Gp0 and still left T vdlue of SS Ter ton in the tailings. This was cer- tainly a very flattering result and will probably lead to the installation of a milling plant, by the Bisbee peO- pie, at the mine. The Casa Grande district is taking on new life and will enter the list of profitable producers before the close of this year.
