Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1908-06-14

The Twin Buttes are working
good force, making regular ship
ments or ore.
Mr.. Boze reports mining activity in
In the Mammoth district. The Mo
hawk mill expects to renew opera
tons in short time A very rich
strike has been made OF q good vein
of ore on the 40O-foot level in the Mo
hawk, averaging more than SIS per
ton in gold.
In the Santa Catalinas good force
of men is working on the Apache
mines under Bob Leatherwood, eX-
tracing good ore, as well as making
rapid development. Several good
groups in the Catalints are likewise
being developed.
A large quantity of machinery is
being hauled from Winkleman -Ur the
Copper Creek smelling plant. 1t is
being taken over the new mountain
road. A trainload of this machinery
recently landed at Winkleman for
this company. There is some diff
Guilty in moving some of the machin-
cry on account of the softness OF the
road between Mammoth and Wrinkle
man. The company expects 10 nave
q big task in moving one piece or
this plant, which weighs 20 tons
Word from the Copper Creek is to
the effect that the large body in the
American Eagle continues in size and
in value. There is enough ore on the
dump and in sight 10 run the Copper
Creek plant for a year. Superintend-
ent Roy Sibbey. who has gone to
Denver to close the purchase of the
75-ton concentration, predicts it VIII
De in operation in four months.
The C. and A., which is develop
ing the Scanlon group, is now down
200 feet on its new shaft, the last 30
feet being all in high-grade sulphide,
also good values in gold and silver.
This appears to be the largest ore
body discovered at that depth.
\ fine spring of water has been
discovered in the canyon On the
Chesterfield group which has created
unusual interest. 1t was discovered
by George A. Durbee from PhiladeE
Uhia, who has been visiting the
mines the last few days in the inter-
est of Eastern stockholders. The
water comes from under n huge Tock
and Is lost in the sand near by. IL
is believed from 3 to ) inches OF
permanent water can be developed
1t is OF the purest quality and Is be-
ing analysed by the experimental sta
ton at the university.
The Chesterfield boys located east
of the Esperanto are forging ahead
on their property and are favored
with good results, having quantity
of fine ore on the dump.
The new shaft in the Esperanza
is down 120 feet. Pike is becoming
more and more interester as depth
is attained. as the bottom Of the shaft
is all in ore. A test made of the pull
verified ore at the bottom Of the
shaft, taken at random. gave in val
ues 81 gold, IL ounces silver, 1912
per cent lead and 1-10fper cent cop
per. All of the ore now being taken
from the shaft is of fine concenuat-
ing quality This shaft will be sunk
to a depth of 150 feet, when crosscut-
ting and drifting will begin, as the
large ore body which was developed
in the old shaft is believed to be
less than 100 feet from this main
shaft
There is a general revival in pros
pecting throughout the entire dis
trict. Many old claims are being
gradually developed, while new ones
are being located and location work
fGf= say fs
ing upon a new era Of development
and a good sized boom will be in mo-
ton in this district during the next
four months.
News has reached here from Nc
Cabe of a very promising ore strike
made in the Apache Maid mine near
Huron, Wednesday night The ore.
reported as being very rich, was
struck in a new shaft being sunk at
a depth of 100 feet Only meagre
details of the find could be learned
but it is stated that the McCabe sec.
ton Of the Big Bug district is excited
over the find.
T. A. Lister has commenced a suit
against the North American Copper
company for $500 money owed.
The directors admit that the money
IS owed. but claims that the minutes
show that it was not to be paid until
the company was on a dividend basis.
Mr.. Liste claims that the company
was long since on that basis. but
that the money. instead of being
used TO pay dividends, was wasted N
useless machinery,
