A Mammoth Shelter.

An immense amount of work is being
done at Garfield, Utah, which is to be
the permanent home Of the largest
copper reduction plant and smelter in
the world. At the present time there
are more than 1900 men employed on
the ground, of both skilled and I'M
skilled labor classes. The mountains
are being leveled off and the big stack,
which is to be 300 feet high and have
the largest capacity of any stack ever
built by a smelling plant, is within
fifty feet of completion. Foundations
containing tons Of concrete are being
laid, and the great steel structural
work is being put in position with all
possible haste.
When completed the two mills and
the smelter will cost several million
dollars, and in addition to the labor
that is being employed in the construc-
ton of these plants, it is said that the
combined institutions will give employ
ment to upward Of ten thousand men.

Rhyolite Has Water.

Rhyolite has now three waterworks
systems-tne Indian Springs, Patrick
and Bullfrog lines. The Indian Springs
line has been IN commission -four
months, the Patrick line was finished
last week, and the Bullfrog line is
now being extended from Bullfrog
through the business section Of town.
The three systems give Rhyolite more
water than Tonopah or Goldfeld.

Bisbee daily review., 1906-06-17

The Bonanza Circle companies have spent small fortune during the past year in machinery equipment. The
 Oliver plant is model of neatness and stability and the equipment, which is jrst being completed at that shaft, in- cluding the big new Nordberg hoist, electric turbine, compressor and new condenser. gives to the Oliver first place in the district for efficient equip ment The big Nordberg was turned over for the first time on Friday of this week and will be in use next week. The hoist at the Oliver is pat termed after the old Tamarac hoists, with improvements added, including automatic cylinders, clutches and a score of safety and economy devices
 The Oliver hoist is 300 horse power and has a capacity for depth of 35oo feet. In the future the electric lights for the Oliver, Irish Mag, Calumet < Pittsburg, Hoatson and Junction Will be furnished from the electrical plant at the Oliver. At least one half oi the present production of the Calumet & Arizona is coming from the Oliver side and most of the ore going to the smelters is found in new dew develop ment work.

LAKE SUPERIOR & PrTTssURe.

Over at the L. s. x P. force Of workmen are raising the ore trestle and making ready for the foundation for the new hoist to be placed at this shaft. The hoist is at present in the railroad yards and work of installing the same will be commenced next week. It will be an exact duplicate of the hoists at the Oliver and the Junction.
 Everywhere about the different Bo- nanza properties the visitor notices huge lumber piles, including mining timbers, building material, etc. The story is going the round that the man. agement got a straight tip not long ago that lumber was booked for an advance and immediately loaded up with 00,000. 900 feet at price two dollars under the present market quo tations. There is enough lumber on the ground and en route to meet ali requirements until sometime in%Jan' uary or Feruary next.
 From the L. s. & P. ore shipments to the smelter at Douglas are aver aging in the neighborhood of 200 tons daily and from the P. & D. comes l2C 10 150 tons. P. & D. oXidiZed stopes continue to open up nicely.
 Just as soon as the big Nordoers hoist at the Junction is in commission a. the Oliver the old hoist is 10 be re moved and remodeled and taken tC the Briggs which has a depth of 1l6t feet

SHkTTUck-ARIZoNk

At the Shatuck &s Arizona work on the tramway is progressing with sat isfactory results. it is the hope Of the management that shipments of ore from the mine will be bucketed to the tracks of the Fl Paso & Southwest ern railroad by July IS.
 Drifting on the $500 continues, orc carrying values in iron manganese and copper being encountered in this drift Thursday.
 The water is being pumped out of the shaft and it is hoped that work will begin on the TOO and 500 levels some time during the coming week.
 Stoping and further drifting have already begun, two new boilers have been put in place and two compres- sors, loaned to the Shattuck by the Sullivan Machinery Co. until that con cern finds itself able to fill the orders of the Shattuck for new compressors, are working.
 The timbering of the enlarged shaft has been completed and the Shattuck is fast getting into readiness to handle a heavy output of ore to the smelters.

DENN-ARIZONk

Drifting in the North drift at the Denn on the 1000 level has brought the workings into soft poTpnyry. In the South drift, where they are going in the direction of the drill holes, the es- timated distance to the borings where ore was encountered is 300.
 The pumping plant has been given a thorough test and is in good shape to handle any water that may be encount- cred. As yet there is so little water at the Denn that it gives no trouble or anxiety at all.
 Sinking at the Denn will commence again Tuesday.
 Surface Improvements put in at this property recently include new black. smith shop.
 The ore encountered recently at the Denn and which caused such a steady raise in the price of Dern stock. has been passed through and the drift is now in porphyry.

cocHIsE pEVELoPMENT co.

The week just past has brought out nothing new at Cochise, that prop erty pursuing its development work at about the same rate of speed as has characterized its steady progress from the beginning of the present manage ment.
 The drift is now in a distance of about $50 feet and the encountering of small punches of ore from time to time has served to give the man agemenL much encouragement.
 The station sets on the 500 level have been completed, and the face of the main drift bears most encouraging indications.
 The large shipment of air pipe for mine ventilation which was delayed en route has at last arrived and is on the ground and will be placed in position immediately.
 Preparations are going on as rapid ly as possible for the installation oi the new 15O-horse-power boiler which will be set in position during the com ing week. if possible.

THE PRODUCTION OF PRECIOUS
 STONES IN 1905.

While the United Sates may never lead the world in the production of gems, the value of its output of pre- cious stones in 1905 reached the very respectable figure of $326.350.
 The largest output is from the sapphire mines. the yield of which amounted to sl25,OO0. Next in value are the turquoise, quoted at s65, 900. Then come the tourmalines worth s50.000. Peridots, crystal quartzes, and miscellaneous stones are accred- ited with value of s1O.000 each. The production of aquamarines Is valued at s6.000, of kunZite, gold quarts, chrysoprase, silicified wood. and gar. net at s5,000 each. of smoky quartz and chlorastrolite at $3,0O0 each. of anne thyst. agate. pyrite. malachite, en- thracite, and catlinite at s2,000 each, of moss agate at $1,500 of beryi, roee quartz, amazon stone, and arrow points at s1,000 each. of tcpax, utah. lite, and mesolite a. ss5SSS ss5SsSS c.--L-. = --r =. sil coral at s250, and of dumoss1essee in quartz at s100.

COPPER QUEEN.

Within the next three or four days the precipitatiug plant of the Copper Queen company will be puI in opera ton. There has been no hurry mani fested in beginning operations for the reason that the mine water is weak in copper solution at present and Il would require about two tons of iron 10 precipitate one ton of copper, whereas the theory is that one ton of iron should precipitate one ton of cop per in order to secure the most sat isfactory results.
 At the Sacramento shaft the new gEllows frame is on the ground and the erecting gang will be here this week to begin its erection. The hoist ing engine at the Lowell which was intended for the Sacramento will be shipped to Cananea next week and erected at the Sierra de Cobre property which has already begun the shipment of ore to tho Copper Queen smelters at Douglas at the rate of l50 tons per day.
 At the Lowell shaft of the Copper Queen company winze was recently started a short distance from the shaft and this week had attained depth o1 twenty-five feet, the winze being il solid sulphide ore for the entire dis tance. The first ore body encounter ed at the Lowell was at a depth Ot $50 feet The Lowell is the deepest workings in the district and there is no indications yet of the depth tC which the ore body extends in tha' locality.
 Changes in the Copper Queen force this week brought Ed Meyers to the Gardiner as division foreman, lame! Finley going 70 the Cuprite and P A. Moon being transferred from tht Cuprite tC the Holbroo!..
 Ore and slag shipments to the Cop per Queen smelters continue about thu same this month as last.

THE SEARCH FOR DIAMONDS.

Never before in the history of the United States has there been such a demand for diamonds as there was in 1905. Large quantities were imported, but the country produced none. In 1903 it produced diamonds to the value of $50. in 1901 1t had an output worth s100, in 1900 its production was valued at $50, and in 1899 the country boasted native diamonds to the value of $500. Diamonds have been discov- cred in the United States in four diff ferent regions. but their actual place of origin is in every case unknown. All have been found in loose and superficial deposits, and all accidcr tally. It is not at all improbab ble. however. that some day the original sources of this queen of gems may De discovered.
 The high price of diamonds has made the recent search for these pre- eious stones in the UniteI Staes and Canada keener than ever before. A careful watch for diamonds was kept during the examination b. the United States Geological Survey Of many sam rles of gold and platinum sands at the Lewis and Clark ExDJsitio1 Tn Port land, Oregon. A look +0Gt for diamonds has been kept up by numher of people who have beeu dredging fer gcli on an extensive scale in the riv- CT: of California. Tn neither case have any finds been reported.
 The occurrence of diamonds in the United States has been treated in some detail by MT. George F. Kunz in repor which the Geological Survey will soon issue.

Superintendent Pohndorf is on the Ground and Will at Once
 Proceed to Develop Hua-
 chuca Property.
Road is Being Surveyed and aMchiney Has Been Order- ed to Mine Newly Acquired Interests on Large Scale.

The great Amslgamated interests, who recently acquired property in Ramsey Canyon n the Huachuca mountat1s, throus5, the bonding by their agents of CVims adjoining the Princeton mines. have already started to work and will ston be mining al a rate that will enlivtn the mining oper- atlons in the HuOchuca mountains.
 Superintendent A c. Pohndorf ar. rived in Bisbee Friday and will Q. once proceed 10 the property, gather q force of men and start operations on large scale.
 Engineer H. w. Jorgensen has been at work for the past three weeks sur. veying for the road which will lead from the San Pedro river to the prop eTty and a force of men will at once be put to work to grade the road and get il in shape to haul the new, heavy machinery that has already been or dered and is no on the road.
 The property in question came into the hands of men high in Amalgamated circles through deal closed by 4. J. Pohndorf. their agent, who visited Bis bee several weeks ago. At that time NIT. Pohndorf, in an interview given out here, stated that it was the pur. pose of his company 10 go ahead on the most approved lines and if possi ble make q mine out of the Huachuca property. He further stated that of all the properties submitted to Anal gamated from Arizona he considered the Ramsey Canyon proposition the best that had been brought 70 their at tention.
 A. J. Pohndorf, who is to be super intendent of the Amalgamated inter eStS here, is a son of A. G. PohndoIi and a mining man of note in Butte where he has been associated with Amalgamated in their operations fol several years.
 Seen last evening at his hotel. Su
 perintendent Pohndorf had the follow ing to say: "Yes. am here to star
 work on our newly acquired property I will go from here to Tombstope tc attend to some legal matters and iron there will go at once tO the Huachucas l where We now have some men work 1 ing.
 For the past three weeks, MT. Jor gensen has been surveying for oul
 road and will try to get large force of men to rush things there so tha We will be in readiness to receive oul

TROUBLES IN ARIZONA MINING
 & DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

Some internal troubles are repoit ted in the Arizona Mining & Development company, owing properties near Naco, Sonora, says the Ei Paso News. The stock is owned about Bisbee, Douglas, Naco. and Cananea, and in Oklahoma. A telegram received here today by R V. Daniels states that Oklahoma stockholders are about 10 bring suit which may result in the appointment of a receiver. This action is con- strued by Mir. Daniels as an effort to depress the stock of the company in order that it may be bought up for speculative purposes. Just what the final outcome of the matter will be is hard to foresee.

SHARPS BECOMING QUITE METROPOLITAN Bull Dog Mine Machinery Is Being Moved to New
 location.
The Kelvin Distinct Boik in a Mining and General Busi- ness Way Is Reported on the Boom.

PHOENIX, June 16.-Superintend- ent W. B. Mitchell, of the Big Lead Mining Co.,, is in the city from Kelvin to superintend the removal to that place of the, ten-stamp mill and other machinery of the Bull Dog mine near Mesa.
 This machinery was put in at cost of S30,000 and made a run of only 90 days so that it Is almost the same as new. The company will have prac- tically a new fifty ton mill. When asked how the Kelvin district is nov ing along MT. Mitchell replied that it is booming.
 The Ray people who have the big gest roposition over there are further testing their property with diamond drills and the town of Ray is beginning to put on city airs.
 The name of the town has been changed to Sharps. It will be supplied with 8 postoffice in a few days and has had two grocery stores establish ed within the past 30 days.
 There are two new saloons, hotel and real estateis booming. Mir. Twitch- ell sold three lots for $500 each last week which is fair indication of what people think of the future of Sharps. People are making inquiries about lots there and everything points to a boom.
 Charles H. Cutting is now in the east organizing a company to take over the Kavanaugh group and from last reports they will be ready to be gin operations in the next 90 days.
 The Calumet Copper Mining Co.,, in which Mir. Mitchell is interested, has bought the Calumet mine of D. W. Mcclellan and the first payment is now in a Phoenix bank to the credit of MT. Mcclellan.
 Leaving Sharps and getting back to Kelvin which is only distance of six miles. further activity is found. Prob ably the biggest news there is the sale of the Bryan group by Mckinney
 McCarty to a company of Globe peo- pie for S125,000.

RAVEN ANNUAL REPORT.

In his report, John Berkin, vice president of Raven Mining company, and manager of property at annual meeting of stockholders in Butte, June :, 1906. said:
 During the last year no mining whatever has been done in the Raven, activity having been confined 10 the work of development upon and within the veins that lay and apex within the boundaries of the Snoozer claim.
 With regard to the development of ore bodies in the upper parts of the veins the lead matter carries only ir- regularly mineralized ores usually of small value. This is particularly the case with regard to the developments that have been carried on both st the 500 and S00-foot levels. Important bodies of ore have been discovered only on the 1900 and 1500-foot level workings of the Snoozer claim. The ores of the Raven Mining Company follow characteristically the minerali. Zation of nearly all of the important ore bodies of Butte, in that their val. ues have been leached from the upper portions of the veins and re-deposited at greater depths.
 "On the 1200foot level, important developments of copper ores of excel lent grade have been made. The prom ise of still more important discoveries at greater depth is apparently being carried out by the developments al the 1500-foot level where the bodies are much larger and more permanent than at any other point so far worked
 The management has spaced the different levels at abnormal intervals from 300 to 400 feet being carried between the adjacent level workings In this way potential ore reserves have been developed cheaply. These re serves are evidently of great import ance, and at this period it becomes necessary to construct intervening lev els between the 1900 and 1500-foot levels, and similarly at greater depths preferably, according to the practice of the Butte district at intervals ot 100 feet in order to properly block out and establish the boundaries of sucf bodies for economical extraction.
 The ore coming from the property averages about per cent copper and from 8 to IL ounces of silver, and from $1 to $50 n gold per ton. Some oi it, of course averages 1 per centshTdlu it. of course Is much higher. more than double, wl1i some is lower
