than small. are the rule. The ores ap- FareEtly do not grow lean G:;h depth, and strangely enough. th4 Hulphjde ore bodies seem 10 average ricbe CT than the oxides. There are many stCpes in the district tha; are putting out 20 per cent to 30 per cent ore. was in one drift where there is 40 feet of ore that averages 40 per cent, and there are many places where % t0 i50 feet stretches will show average values of I5 per cent 10 B per cent copper. Almost all of the :ow grade ores are extracted and smelted, soTe sleclal ores being mined down to 1-2 per cent average but, notwithstanding ibis. the average yield at the smelteTs Is per cent to 10 per cent.
 The Copper Queen smelLc-, located at Douglas, 28 miles from the mine, has s blast furnaces capable of re ducing about 2,600 tons Of ore daily. Two more blast furnaces are being constructed, which will be in blast before the end of the year. A rever. beratory furnace is to be built soon and used to receive and settle the slags from two blast furnaces and use the heat of the slag to smelt flGe dust. This Is a new system which is being tried by Phelps, Dodge & Co. in the shelter at Morenci. It will be ex- perimented with at Douglas, also, and if successful, total of reverbera- tories will probably be constructed.
 The company has developed an orig inal ore mixing and storage system. Several enormous pits, 50 or 60 feet WiHa and sll f1at 1nn0 1r0 0 in the yard between lines of railroad. The ore and f1uxes are systematically dumped into these pits, Ieveled by greaI blows drawn by locomotives and then picked up from the bottom and loaded in the charge cars by a steam shovel. This system thorough ly mixes the ores and fluxes.
 l figure that the Copper Queen is producing 100000 pounds of copper monthly from its own ores and from Tesmelting the old sleg dumps, aggre- gating nearly 100000 tons, which ac- cumulated many years ago around it's black copper plant in Bisbee. Its out put should amount to 9O,0cO, ,000 pounds of copper this year, made at cost of about cents per pound, and its net earnings should therefore be between s1O,5O0,0O0 and s11,OOO, 900. The number of new shafts which the company has sunk, and the disposition of the management to follow up every favorable development on other prop terties with an investigation of its own adjacent lands, leads me 10 be- lieye that it's annual production will be 15,O00,000 pounds of copper three years hence, and possibly 150,000, 900 or l75.00G,00 pounds within five or ten years.

I together, but there is DO immediate
 prospects that this change will be made. The statement in the consolidation 1 circular, issued recently, that she oth-
 CT mines in this district, which have
 substantially the same management as | the Calumet & Arizona, will soon be called upon to provide smelling faciH- l ties for their ores, is at least a sug-
 gestion that the plan is to have Calu- , me & Arizona utilize the full capacf- ty of its own plant This would call for an increase of 100 per cent in its ore output and make its annual pro
 duction G0,000, 900 to 75,000, 900 pounds of fine copper. Such g scale of oper-
 ations would, of course, hasten the ex- haustion of the company's ore re-
 serves, but it would meanwhile pro- vide for greatly increased dividends. Some high authorities believe that the
 greatest economy is obtained by talk
 ing ore out of the ground as quickly ] as possible and turning 1t into cash. 1 The Calumet & Arizona smelter Is | located at Douglas, 2S miles from the | mine. It contains blast furnaces,
 one of which is just being completed. | Each is capable of smelling about 325 tons of ore daily. Three furnaces are
 in blast and the fourth is held in re l serve. About 925 tons of ore is be- | ing smelted daily, of which $50 tons
 comes from its own mines. There
 are also 3 stands of converters, bri- quitting machine, etc. The manage ment is considering the advisability of building a reverberatory furnace to
 smelt it's flue dust.
 Viewed from an investment stand
 point, Calumet & Arizona stock cer- tairIy looks attractive. Even though | it's properties should prove short lived, it would require only ten or 8 dozen years for the company to earn and dis ! tribute in dividends an amount equal
 to the present selling price of the stock. The chances are all favorable. ! however, that large ore resources will
 be developed in the south workings of | it's mines and also in the Hope and Wagner claims. There are competent i authorities who believe that ore bodies
 will be found, also, in the upper levels 1 of the mine, where little or no work has yet been done. There is at least
 one point on which stockholders may rest assured-Jhe price of copper will never go low enough to cause even a | temporary suspension of Calumet Arizona dividends.

ITS VALUE HAS NOT BEEN OVER STATED BY ITS MOST ENTHUSI.
 AS7|CFRIENDSAND SUPPORTERS

Hope and Wagner contain big and valuable ore bodies.
 Some time ago I presented a state Inent. obtained from reliable source, that during the month of February the ores sent to the smelter by the CaIu- met Arizona company yielded an average of approximately 200 pounds of copper to the ton, or 10 per cent have now confirmed that statement, and I nave also learned from reliable sources that previous to the recent change in management rich ores were given the preference in the shipments from all mines. The present manage ment has made a radical change in this connection, increasing the ship ments of low grade ores and working up such an ideal combination for the Sr!elter that the tonnage per furnace Der day has been greatly augmented. As a result the company is producing about the same amount of copper monthly from ores which yield ' 1-2 per cent, and at the same time keep ing the gross cost of its copper, in cluding both western and eastern ex- perses, somewhere between 6 1-2 and : cents per pound.
 It seems to be the policy of the pres. ent management to clean up all the low grade ore as it comes and to grad ually accumulate in the mines large reserves of high grade ore. Such a policy, of course, makes for permanent cy and guarantees the continuance of the present low copper cost for many NrfAa e6 expectedly be large developments of low grade ores.
 The only reason that the Calumet & Arizona can never be another Cop per Queen is that it does not own nearly as large an acreage of favorably located ground. There is abundant room on its 160 acres of ground, how ever, to develop ore enough to supply the present tonnage to the smelter and continue dividends at the rate of 8 quarterly for decades to come. The general character of the rock, the ap- pearance of the underground openings and all other indications strongly en- courage the belief that the Calumet 6: Arizona mine is still in its infancy. Ii is characteristic of the ore bodies that practically every one of them proves 10 be very much larger before it is worked out than anyone would esti- mate when IL was first opened.
 The Calumet & Arizona Is just com pleting the installation of high grade up-to-dste hoist and other equipment, to match, at its Oliver shaft. This shaft $ very favorably located for economical work. and it is the inten- -s the main working shaft of the prop eTty. A steam turbine and electric generator have been installed to pro vide underground electric haulage, and line will be established immediately to handle the ore between the Irish Mag and Oliver shafts. It is not ini- probable that the Mag shaft will eventually discontinue hoisting ore al

THAT'S WHAT GEO.. 1. WALKER SAYS
 OF THE COPPER QUEEN MINES WHICH ARE BOTH HIGH GRADE

The Copper Queen company has 2,000, 900 shares of a par value Of $l each, and it is claimed that almost it's entire capital is held by 8 persons, connected with the firm of Phelps. Dodge & Go. There is no record of a sale of its stock having been made recently, but it is claimed. unofficial ly, that s4 per share, total of SS,000,- 900, was distributed in dividends last year It is said that s75 per share was bid for 100 shares, which was offered for sale g. few months ago, putting 8 valuation of s15O. .000, 900 on the prep erty.
 I wos permitted to visit the under ground workings of this great mine last Monday, and I walked through many miles of drifts and climbed into a few of the stopes adjacent to Of its z shafts. We entered the CZar shaft, near the original tunnel work ings, and within 300 or AGO feet of this shaft, and not more that 300 feet below the surface, saw one srIid

(By Geo. L. Walker.) Bisbee. Arizona, May 25, 1906

Copper Queen, the oldest and largest mining enterprise in the Bisbee dis trict, is undoubtedly the most valua- ble copper mine in the world. It is remarkable in the respect that 1t IS both big and high grade mine, the rule being that big mines are usually low grade, while mines having very high grade ore are almost always rel atively small. With copper selling around 1912 to 19 cents, the Copper Queens ores have an average of about s30 per ton.
 Though the daily output of it's mines is slightly less than 2,000 tons of ore, the Copper Queen will produce more copper and make considerably more money this year than the Calumet & Hecla company, which is putting out more than 5000 tons of copper rock daily. The Boston & Montana, ship ping 5000 tons Of ore per day, may make 10,000,000 pounds more copper in 1906 than Copper Queen, but its net profits will be no larger. The great Anaconda may also greatly ex- Ceed it in production, but 1t will fall more than $2,000,0 behind the Cop per Queen in net receipts.
 Much has been said and written of the marvellous richness of Senator W. 4. Clark's great United Verde mine, and most people believe it to be the most valuable copper mine in Arizona. As a matter of fact, however, the total gross value of all the copper, gold and silver which will be produced by the United Verde this year will not nearly equal the net profits that the Copper Queen will divide among its ten or twenty stockholders. The Cop per Queen is more than twice as big as any other Arizona mine.
 IL is not improbable that the net earnings of the Rio Tinto mine of Srain will exceed those of the Copper Queen this year by s2,0e0, 900. The net earnings of the Rio Tinto, however, are largely dependent on the sale of that mineral. and should the market for sulphur be low the profits of the two companies will be about the same. From now or the growth of the Cop Ter Queen will be much more rapid than that of the Rio Tinto, and the prospect is that within a few years the former will lead all the worlds riines in production and net profits, as it's property is being developed on tremendous scale.
 The present market value of the Sc curities of the greatest copper mining companies in the world compare about as follows.

DOUGLAS TO HAVE
 FL PAso BAND FOR 4TH.

Manager Frank Alderrete of Con cha's band at Fl Paso is seriously con. sidering a proposition to accept an of. fer to take the band to Douglas or the Fourth of July. George Hardiker, a booster for the Douglas celebration, has been hot after the band and a hattering offer was received in Fl Paso by wire for the band to go to Douglas. Manager Aldrrete does not like the idea of leaving Fl Paso on the Fourth, but as there is but little evi. deDce in Fl Paso of any Fourth of July celebration where the services of his organization will be needed, he will probably accept the Douglas offer This will probably mean a Fourth without music for Fl Paso.

S THE RICHEST MINE IN THE WORLD

hausted by a 2.00O-ton daily production would expect to find such a block of ore as I have described within little more than a stones throw of the old est shaft of a mine which has been producing copper for 26 years, and which has already smelted more than 1.500 900 tons of ore. I learned, now ever, that there is one stope, almost equally near the point where produc- tion began, which has been worked continuously for 15 years and still has about as much ore in sight as at any time in the past.
 The copper ores of this district are found deep down in thick beds of car boriferous limestones, and there is now good reason for the belief that an area of or square miles IS min eralized uo a greater or less degree. 4 I:early horizontal strata is occupied by the ore. which varies in thickness from a few inches to 800 feet. Intel- mingled with the ore are considerable areas of barren lime and frequent tongues and occasional dikes Ol gran itic porphyry. which reach out from Sacramento Hill, the great eruptive Of the district. It is evident that these intrusions Assured and crushed the limestones and thus encouraged their replacement by the large bodies of copper ore.
 The popular descriptive simile of this district, that the ores occur at irregular intervals like plums in a rice pudding does not convey a correct impression. Ones mind can hardly imagine a pudding so large that its plums would be the size of the sky scraper office buildings of our leading cities, yet such an imagination must

his innocent announcement cloaks
the same move that was made two
years ago by the same corporations,
and which was denied by the harbor
board.
When this move was made two years
ago 1t was vigorously opposed by the
chamber of commerce and the opposi-
ton of that body was chiefly instru-
mental in defeating the ends of the
allied corporations. Whether 1t will
succeed this time is a question, but IL
is the intention of Capt. Amos Fries OF
the corps of engineers to give the sub
ject the widest publicity in order that
those opposed to the project may make
their complaints.
