Bisbee daily review., 1907-08-23


 The final installment of material for the pipe line and hoisting machin- cry of the Two Queens mines, passed through here Sunday. Also lot of tee rail for the tunnels and drifts. Late reports from these mines are very favorable.
 Colonel Griffey, of the Alta, was here Wednesday enroute to PhoeniX. He has been i'll for two weeks past and lost twenty pounds of good flesh, but is all right now. He went to Phoenix to purchase material for an engine house and shaft house which he will have erected at the Alta shaft. The sides and roof will be of corru- gated iron. The Alta shaft is still in high grade copper ore.
 There is a fight on between the stockholders of the Saddle Mountain Mining company that is acting as a check upon the development of their magnificent property at Christmas. | The fight is for the controlling inter est, two factions seeking to gain the control. This fight is to be regretted as it has already resulted in stopping exploration work and has reduced the working force more than one half. Superintendent Fred Hoar, of the Lake Superior and Arizona company, has returned from Calumet, Michigan, whither he went to consult with the directors relative to development plans. This week he had the com pany's Florence office moved to Su- perior for convenience. We will miss the genial presence of Dugald Stew art, the company's chief accountant, as he went to Superior to take charge of the office there. The work of un- watering the Holt shaft and it's exten- sive levels is progressing so rapidly that a few more days will see the task completed.
 Manager Harrington, of the Sultana (Bryan group of mines). has shipped several carloads of high grade ore recently and the returns were suffi- cient to more than pay all operating expenses since he took hold of the mines. This is unusual with prop erty in the first stage of development and indicates that the Sultana group has a very bright future. Mir. liar rfngton is pushing development work with a large crew of miners. This property is situated on the south side of the Gila river at old Riverside sta- tion, about two miles from Kelvin.
 Superintendent Schofield has re- sumed operations in the Mt. Lander tunnel with three shifts of miners and expects to connect the tunnel with the 2OO-foot level in the Mt. Lander shaft inside of thirty days.
 William McGrew was down from Superior Tuesday after a load of sup plies. We learn from him that the Queen mine has been entirely closed down pending a sale presumably to the Phelps-Dodge people. We also learn from him that the bond held by Mitchell brothers on the old Eure- ka, owned by Mir. McGrew and oth- CTS, has been surrendered.
 President C. F. Finney, of the Lon don-Arizona company, has returned from the east. He met with great success in selling treasury stock of bis company at S6 per share and ope- rations at the LOndOn-AriZona mines will be conducted on a greatly en- Iarged scale from this time on and it will not be long before construction work on the smelting plant will be commenced.
 There seems to be no doubt that the reorganization of the Troy-Man- hattan company will be perfected soon. The terms of the reorganization are that the gentlemen who will have control of the new company are to
