Arizona silver belt., 1905-08-17
COCHIsE COUNTY
Where Mining, the Chief Industry, is
Very Active

From the Bisbee Review
The permanent plant at the Junction
has now been entirely completed and
the initial work of exploring the two
ore bodies disclosed by the shaft has
been begun. From now on it will only
be question as to how extensive the
ore bodies in the mine are and their in
trinsic value.
Over at the Lake Superior & Pitts
burg sump has been built in the shaft
at the l100-foot level and the company
will begin sinking again during the
coming week. 1t is understood the
shaft will be sunk 400 feet further
which will make it the deepest shaft in
the district.
Among the outsiders the Shattuck-
Arizona still continues to hold first
place. Over 100 feet of ore has now
been penetrated by the drift upon the
700 foot level and no sign of it's quit
ting has shown. The new boiler has
been set and is ready to be fired and
sinking will begin at once. Shares in
the Shattuck-Arizona are rapidly going
up, but there is little for sale and hard
ly any trading is taking place.
The equipment of the Oliver shaft OF
the Calumet & Arizona company with
its permanent plant is going on rapidly.
During the week two new oil tanks
have been built and another one is un-
der way, the combined capacity of the
three being about 250,000 gallons. A
new charge house has also been built
and the last concrete foundation for the
new power house has been set. Work
of erecting the steel frame of the power
house will begin this week.
j. 5. Palmerlee, of the Huachuca
Consolidated Mining company returned
Friday from Michigan where he went
several weeks ago for the purpose of
comforting with stockholders of the
company regarding raising additional
funds for the purpose of equipping the
the mine with a ten stamp mill. At
Osborne last evening, where Mr. Palm
erlee was seen by Review man, he
announced that he had met with com
plete success and was on his way TO
the mine to make immediate prepar-
alton for the installation of the mill.
From the Bisbee Miner.
1t is reported on good authority that
within short time the Copper Queen
will let the contract for the sinking of a
new shaft on its property in this dis
trict. The new shaft, which will be
called the Cuprite, will be put down at
APPOINT southwest of the Spray and will
be connected with that shaft.
1t was reported on Tuesday by a
party recently in from Paradise that
the Chiricahua company has pulled the
pumps in the main shaft and that the
shaft is filling with water and certain
t the work has been stopped. This is
taken as an indication that the report
that a great body of good grade ore
has been struck is a fact. The people
of Paradise are very much encouraged
with the indications and believe that
their camp has now very bright fu-
ture.
From the Tombstone Prospector
AT the old Grand Central mill an
abundance of water has been struck at
26 feet. The Lacey Manufacturing
company's tank makers have arrived
and are prepared to put up the tanks
for cyanide purposes at the earliest
possible date. The tailings of the old
mills in this section will be treated by
the cyanide method as soon as the
plant can be completed
Copper Queen No. 7 furnace will be
in full blast by September |. In
order to get this furnace in working
order the new blower engine has to be
in perfect condition. The engine pro-
duces 300 cubic feet of air per reyolu-
tion and makes on an average ninety
revolutions per minute, thus making
1900 cubic feet of air per minute.
This air is carried 900 feet to the furn- |
ace to 42-inch pipe and then passed
through to flue about s feet in dame
ter carrying with it the smoke fumes
and flue dust. This again passes through
the dust chamber where the fue dust
IS deposited, the smoke and fumes go
ng through the large stack. The new
No. 3 crane has been unloaded and is
being erected as fast as the different
mechanics can get their work done.
This is powerful piece of machinery
having three hoists, the main hoist hav-
ng lifting capacity of l20, 600 pounds
md the two auxiliary hoists 30, 900
pounds capacity each. J. p. GoebeI.
