The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-07-04

A ENA m a

smelter bring satisfactory returns
Three claims have been located al
the place of discovery. The name OF
the discoverer is for some reason
withheld from the public, as is also
the direction from Benson where the
remarkable discovery is situated.
Among the arrivals in the city last
week was P. J. Tehaney, the we'll
known Cananea stock broker, who
came here for the purpose of confer
ring with his associate, NJ. J. Cum
ningham. When asked by Review
reporter concerning the Cananea-
Bisbee property in which he and
Cunningham are heavily interested
with the Thompson brothers, Mr..
Tenancy said. "Within the past few
days ore has been opened up in shaft
No. on the Cananea-Bisbee, which
will without doubt insure the future
of this group as a large mine. This
shaft was sunk to depth of 250 feet.
At depth of 155 feet low grade
black sulphide ore was entered, and
the entire bottom of the shaft is
still in the same formation. At 25O
feet level was cut, and drifts run in
westerly aud easterly direction.
Within the past few days the east
drift has entered a body of high
grade ore, and up to the time l left
Cananea there was no sign of its
playing out. Various samples taken
from this drift have given high cop
per values, but it is expected to aver
age about 8 per cent. A feature of
this strike is, that tie great strike
made on the 1850 level of the Capote
mine of the Greene Cananea CON-
pany, which proved Cananea to be a
deep mining country was the same
kind OF ore exactly as was encounter
ed in tie Cananea Bisbee, and it is
the theory of experts that many
hundred feet will have to be
traversed to the east and downward
before the body encountered in the
eastern drift of shaft No. ;Fni he
exhausted. There are six shafts be-
ing worked-on the property at the
present time, four of them have al
ready entered the low grade copper
strata opened up in shaft No. /.
There are four Leyner steam hoists
on the ground now, and new one of
increased capacity has been ordered
for use on shaft No. 7.''-Review
Gallon, thriving town of Ohio,
has established a healthy colony in
Phoenix. The foundation for it was
laid two years ago when Z. F. Hend-
rickson, making a tour of the west
with a view of finding a better loca-
tion than he then had, stopped here,
intending to remain only a short
time. He became so much interested
at what he saw that he stayed long
enough to satisfy himself that he
had found the place he was looking
for. On his return home he told his
neighbors about and infused them
with the interest he felt in Phoenix.
They consumed all the literature
they could procure on the subject of
the Salt river valley and sent for
more. At length the idea of the
colony began to take form and some
time ago Mr.. Hendrickson re turned
accompanied by John Miller, Wesley
Miller and Elvin Marvin, all of
Gallon. They were all hustling young
men and quickly found profitable en-
ployment in various lines. The
colony received accessions by the ar
rival of Mrs. Hendrickson, NJ. G.
Miller and family of five, Miss Pearl
Russell and Harold Ness, making al
together now seventeen persons.
But all this is only the beginning for
the friends of the colonists at Gallon
are still talking and reading about
Phoenix so that in the fall not less
than three more families will come
All the members of the colony are
pleased with what they have seen.
The town and the country they say
surpass the expectations they had
formed from reading the literature,
a fact which reflects in some degree
upon the writer's of it showing that
they were lacking in imagination or
forgot to tell it all.-Democrat.
