BlSBEE COPPER OUTPUT.
Copper Queen and Calumet & Arizona
 Making Good Records

The BiSbee Review says:
 Calumet X Arizona blister copper production of the ores of it's single producing shaft in the camp was 1852 tons in December, or 2,70i 900 pounds Copper Queen production of blister copper from the ores of it's mines in this camp during December was about 5,000,000 pounds. In addition to this the smelter turned out a couple of mil
 lion more pounds from the Nacozari concentrates it handled, from the I'm
 perial ores delivered and the more or less tonnage coming to the customs plant which is just getting under way.
 With the Oliver producing. as it will soon be, and its additional fur. mace in operation at Douglas, the c. X A. will in very little while be turning from it's smelter close to , ,000,- 900 pounds, which with the two new furnaces now being added at the Cop per Queen smelter for the handling Of increased production of the Bisbee mines of the company, it will soon be producing in the neighbOrhOod of 10,- 100000 pounds per month. Here will be l5, 900, 900 pounds of copper, at least l2,0O0,G00 of which will come from BlSbee ores proper, going out of the C. x A. and Copper Queen smell ters eacn month to the ready markets of the world.
 For December the selling price of the copper outputs of these two com panies can safely bs put at l5 cents per pound. Call the total 7,5O0, OO0 pounds, to be entirely conservative, thus looping off POI 900 pounds, the returns from which at 15 cents per pound would make neat no iday pres ent for most people, and there IS a total to the credit of Bisbee's produc- tion for the month of the cash sum of sl,l25,0O0. Pretty good for the in- side works of any camp, that figure is.
 With the starting of the two new furnaces soon tO go into commission at the Copper Queen shelter at Doug las, ore production from the Bisbee mines will be increased by about 600 tons daily. The shelter is now tax ing from Bisbee 36, 900 tons per month. The increas sd 500 tJns psr day will mean an increase of lS,000 tons per month which will put the regular monthly ore production of Blsbse for the Copper Q leen at the enormous hgur1 of 5i,0U0 5ons per month.
 To accomplish this increased output the force of miners here will be in. creased by necessity at least 250 men. Further increases as the proposed en- largement of the capacity of the smel ter at Douglas proceeds will be in pro- portion. Most of the new men to go on will probably tind place at the Gardner, where the new hoist recently put in operation is undoubtedly to see service in proportion to it's great NsP"NiVs' hiiOddJ buO WOf hlUR lDFcG at the Gardner has been increased from about twenty to above forty and attack on it's splendid ore bodies has commenced vigorously. This mine can alone supply the increased pro- duction required at the Smeter, though it is not likely in view of past policy of the Copper Queen that this will be done. Tho Gardner will prob- ably be called upon for a goodly per centage of the in crease but not enough to strain it to the stripping point in advance of replacing the reserve bodies as their exhaustion proceeds.
 The Grand Canyon of the Colorado in it's deepest part is 5000 feet. The gorge of the Columbia is 5000 feet in depth. In California tn. gorgcs on the north and south sides of the Am erlcan river are up to 5000 feet in depth. The canyon of the Merced river, including the Yosemite valley, is at points 5000 feet deep, and the Grand Canyon of Kings river is 1000 feet deep in one place.
