Operations of tho Copper Queen and
 Other Bisbee Mines.

Copper Queen production for No vember fell 9 little short of 1000 0OO pounds. says the Bisbee Review in it's last weekly issue. The smelter plant has not yet been brought up to its full capacity, and one of the old furnaces is to be removed and a larger furnace installed. Not as much ore ,is being sent to Douglas from the mines in Bis bee this month as during October, the average daily shipment being about 15OO daily with the exception of Sun day. The mining force at Bisbee has demonstrated it's ability to furnish the rock in any quantity desired, but the shelter capacity must be brought up to the limit before the shipments of ore from Bisbee are increased. Around the Copper Queen mines the principal development work al present is confined to the Cuprite and Uncle sam territory. The Cuprite has at tained a depth of 325 feet and two drifts are beginning to connect with the shaft from the two hundred level of the Holbrook, which corresponds to the 500 at the Cuprite. One of these drifts starts from the old Southwest drift and another from near the Hoi- brook. A drift will also be started in the near future from the Cuprite in the direction of the Uncle sam claim which had ore in the shaft from the grass roots down 2G6 feet. The old ore pile at the Uncle sam is being ship ped to the smeltcr at Douglas and about 500 tons have been handled in this manner. .
 At the Lowell the new engine recent ly brought from Globe is being install ed Since the connection has been made between the Sacramento and the Lowell shafts, prospect drifts have been run on both sides, but nothing of an encouraging nature has yet been disclosed.
 Next wee}o the Copper Queen will commence work erecting a precipitat- ing plant to treat the mine water com ing from the Czar shaft. The plant will be erected on the site of the old smelt- CT power house and immediately all the cd scrap iron and scrap tin around the city will find market at home.
 Work on the TOO at the Shattucls continues to show up some fine suI- pnides with the body of ore increasing in known extent with each succeeding shift. On the 500 the work for the past ten days has consisted of station cut ting, but this work has about been completed, and t is the expectation to resume work in the drifts on Monday. On Jan. 1, work will be commenced of raising another compartment to the surface, and the installation of heavier machinery. All of which is pTepara- tory to beginning production from the Shattuck during 1906, which includes the construction of an aerial tramway, and the erection of ore bins alongside the tracks of the r. P. & s. w. in the vicinity of the Spray shaft.
 Friday the last round Of holes fired in the DCnu-AriZona shaft at a depth of TAO feet was followed by the ap- pearauce of water, and during the succeeding ten hours fifteen mine buckets had been hoisted. This was accompanied by the appearance of DOT phyry, and it is the expectation of Su- perintendent Pattison that the Denn shaft during the next week, will pass entirely through the cOnglomerate. The encountering of water at this level came in the nature of a surprise. At the junction the first water flow was encountered at the TAO foot level, and at the Saginaw. where the collar of the shaft is sixty feet lower, than at the Denn, water was first struck at 76O f2ct
