WARREN DIST. MINING DULL
 THE PAST WEEK
Arrangements Are Being Made for Handling Ore By Elec- triclty in the Copper Queen Properties.

TAe past week in the Warren (Bisbee) district has been without siaythkzs of any importance. The shipments from the various mines continue the same as mentioned in last weeks letter, no changes being noted The alterations at the ..ssas building of the Calumet & Arizona located at the Oliver mine, have been completed, and it is now ready for asss
 At the Copper Queen properties, ar engagements are being made, as for the past two months, tor the hand ling of ore underground by electric ity. Steel has been laid in several levels In most of the mines, and the trolley wire has been strung in som levels
 The xaw power house located neal the Sacramento mine of the company is now partially in use, two Of the Sterling boilers being in use. The IngersolL Rand compressors, Of which there are two, the largest in the Gstrict ere now in operation, and are furnishing all the air being used by she Copper Queen properties. One of the three upright turbines is also iH operation and is furnishing eiectracity in addition to the oio equipmeRS at the several different stations. The compressor at the Czar shaft is soon to be removed from that prcgerty and installed at the new power house The plant will be eornpTeted in about six weeks.
 At the Sacramento mine, the hoist building is almost completed, and some os the machinery is at present being installed This work will be completed iR about a month or six weessL The machinery to be used in the sre loading and transmission at. tke shaft has arrived and work on Installing same VIII soon be com meaSaA
 The shaEt of the Warren Realty & Development company. located below the Warren towInsite, has reached depSa of over TOO feet. Last month bonus Of S25o was distributed among the employees on account Of the great amount of iaba done in sinking The formation continues to be lime. with some iron.
 ft EaaAa De said that the general mining situation has shown no rad icaI izspTuTemeat The disposition leans to the dilatory, the careful and the conservative, and a complete res torstioz ef prosperous conditions is a matter of time and gradual evolu- tion. This slate of affairs is uniVer- sad Sc far as the field to the south is conSarneA
 In Mexico the situation is peculiar the law requiring a certain per cent sf native labor being no longer myth capahse of easy evasion, but d grim fact which has to be complied with.
 Cananea
 The silence in the once glorious camp is pathetic. There are about 12ee men, practically all natives, al work ia and about plants and the different mines, merely to make nee essary improvement, maintain the sn- tegrity of the works and Yindicate the respective concessions of the owners.
 The splendid days of the Greene Scott w white-Kirk regime are thing of the past. It must be conceded that Greene waa the best friend the gringo eyex. had ip Sonora. It is insisted also. Nsyith some showing of logic, that he was better than he coulc afford so be, considering the charac- ter. resources and values in the big mines. When Cananea resumes, which is strictly indefinite, it will do SO along native labor lines, with reduced wages. The Cole manage ment insists that the values in the mine win not. with the present price of copper justify white wages.
 Tn get down to business, so as to de- clare dividends and in order to do this they will have to adopt the system employed by the Moctezuma Copper company at Nacozari. They have so much more ore in sight, ii will average So much with copper at A certain figure; and they know exactly what they can afford to pay to realize a dividend. Under these conditions, 1t is practically certain thai Cananea will gradually resume work until it employs more men tban ever before in its history, it requiring a greater number of na- five labor to perform the same work than 1t would of skilled Americans.
 Cananea, however. will find it neces- sary to employe more white men than loes Nscozari, for the reason that the ground is of a totally different char acter, requiring in the first named instance, vast amount of timber bring and careful work.
 The Cananea, Rio Yaqui & Pa effc is making vast preparations along the Cananea branch. In the aEspee" round house at Naco may be seen four new locomotives, each when ready for the track weighing 1Tz tons. These monsters are sup posed to be for use on the branch and on the new cut of running a Nogales. These preparations EouId appear to carry significance, ss joobcing to the rehabilitation of the ig camp in the near future.
