Bisbee daily review., 1905-02-19


 a duplicate of the c. & P. structure of the same class.
 Before July, probably, the c. & A. shelter capacity will be doubled. The increased capacity, it may be added, will be used just as soon as it is avail able. It would come in handy right now for that mater. At the pres ent time the shelter has three fur naces. But two or these are used steadily. the third being a necessary reserve. A fourth furnace is prob aDly now on the road to the reduction plant, having been ordered some time pack.
 Plans have been completed for a fifth furnace which. IS to be ordered at once for immediate delivery. This with the fourth furnace will get into lcommlsSion a ssoon as it can be made ready. Thus tour furnaces will be in lsteady operation instead of two. The new furnaces will have the same ca lpaclty as those now operated and will lconseguently double the daily output of bullion from the smelter. This Is now running something like Go tons 1 .S < |
 The Oliver shaft is now in such shape that is could commence at once ship lments additional to those of the Mag to increase the ore supply sufficiently for the operation of the two new fur lnaces, at full tilt. The Oliver will not, however, be put on the regular production until the new furnaces are lactually in operation. At least this lis the present plan. In the meantime lthe finishing touches will be put on the property to prepare it for the .ong era of producing activity that il
 has the ore for.
 Three drifts now connect the work
 ings of the Mag and the Oliver. A
 fourth is now being run from the
 125O level of the Mag. These con
 nections bring the two shafts together in a most complete manner. affording ing the best facilities for economic working. Development is proceeding in ever yway with satisfactory results. T A substantial wagon road is being constructed between the Oliver and the Junction. Its completion will give all the Bonanza properties close communication by road with a uni. form grade. The completion of the piece to the Junction will supply the last link. It will aslo give the Bonanzas a route inde pendent of Lowell ground, where things are pretty much consested and interference might at some time re suit
 C. & P. pumps were practically shut down during the week and sink. ing in the shaft is suspended. This situation will continue until Junction pumps get into operation. The meaning is simply that economy will be best served by the course that has been adopted. c. &
 P. pumping is an expensive piece lof business~ When Junction pumps commence unwatering the basin they will take a great part of the bur of the burden off the c. 6, P. pumps and make matters much easier. c & P. pumps have lowered water iI
 the Junction 20 feet. Except in sink ling in c. & P. shaft no suspension ot work has occurred at the property by reason of the closing down of ths pumps.
 2 Junction pumps are now expectet 2 to be pouring water out of the shaf , within ten days. They would be al , work now but for delay that has beer
 occasioned by the failure of some !, necessary connections to arrive. The i work is all ready to receive these con
 nections, with the fitting of which tn.
 bumps will be ready to go into com mission. They will have a capacity f of 5000 gallons and at the beginning s of the run may for a short time be , exerted to the limit This will not las long. as the c. & P. pumps will star f at the same time and at least divid; the burden. As soon as Junction 3 pumps take the water sinking in th' 3 shaft will begin.
 r What is expected in the shaft i! 5 generally understood. those familiar
 with conditions there being conf5en Q that between 40 and 100 feet below > the present level the shaft will come g into a big ore body. That such VII [ De the case there is hardly room fol 8 doubt of the slightest character. Int
