Bisbee daily review., 1908-10-11
Rlsheeifes at Rouse

Because of the presence there of several former residents of Bisbee, the attention that is being directed to- wards the Bouse country is of inter est to Review readers. Several prop critics there run nigh in copper and gold, are very like those of Bisbee, Globe, Clifton, Morenci, in formation and are accessible to the railroad that is being completed across the Col orado at Parhzr. A week ago. ac- cording to letters received in Bisbee, John Hays Hammond and a corps of engineers entered that country for the purpose of Investigation and purchase, says the Los Angeles Examiner.
 The Clara Consolidated Gold and Copper Company has opened another immense copper deposit in it's Arizona property, according to a telegram re ceiyed yesterday by President George Mitchell. The message stated that a drift started from the bottom of an inclined shaft known as the Signal had penetrated an ore body for S3 feet and still no hanging wall was in sight.
 At the time operations started in this shaft it had a vertical depth of 45 feet, and at that point an incline on the vein was commenced and exposed 5 feet of sulphide ore This was con tined down 200 feet and the drift that exposes the immense body was start ed from this point in the direction of shaft No. 1, which now has a depth of 200 feet and exposes 9S feet of pay rock. A drift from this shaft ex- poses the vein for 302 feet.
 It is now believed that these veins have formed a juncture and one of the largest copper deposits of the year has been unearthed. Some idssa of the immensity of the vein can be gained when it is shown that it has an ex- posed width of 135 feet. Should the sur1mise of the engineers prove cor rect and the 2S feet exposed in shaft No. 1 form a part of ths deposit, it will give the mine an ore body of this width exposed to a depth of 200 or mora feet.
 The find was made in the recently consolidated properties taken over by Mir Mitchell and others when the Sig nal Copper Company, Clara Gold and Copper Company, Crown Princess and Crown Queen Companies and the Moro group were merged, giving territory of 132 claims, or 2640 acres.
 Immediately upon the effecting ol the merger the question of smelteI was taken up and yesterday MT Mitchell announced that 40o-toI plant had been purchased and paiC for and will be in operation withiI the next four months.
 To date approximately 1,S00,000 ton' of , per cent ore is in sight, half O which has been blocked out and i ready for stOping.
 The property lies 19 1-2 miles iron the station of Bouse, on the Santa F, cutoff to Parker, in what is nowl as the Santa Maria district in Yum county. and for a number of year has been worked in a desuitory man neT, some gold and copper ore belni taken out and shipped.
 Besides the smelling plant. thre gasoline hoists are now working O. the property. A steam plant of l1 horsepower. and capable of sinkini 1900 feet, has been ordered, and fcur-mile pipe line has been laid t the river.
 This is a second instance of MI MifcaelTs success in developing bi mines from prospects. In 1899 he b. gan operations at Cananea, Mex, Wit the Cobre Grande Company, whlc later became the Greene Consolidafet This was after HeiBEe. John R. Tool and other big copper operators ba' turned the property down. Finding small streak of sulpdides in the ol Rodgers tunnel on the Esperanz claim, he followed 1t down and opeI ed 40-foot vein, later realizing bi sum for his interest.
