Bisbee daily review., 1909-07-09
(From Iron Ore.)

II Is good 10 win III good cause, and particularly is it good against seemingly big odds. There is a heap of satisfaction ia overcoming obsta- -cles. It would be better were there none. but so long as they appear and have to be fought it is a great satis- faction 10 met and conquer them.
 Iron Ore does not hesitate to. give the opinion that had any other set of men than those associated with Su- perior & Pittsburg had such a fight to make they would long ago have abandoned it. We know of no other lot who would have spent the money and the eXertion that has been put into this property located at Bisbee, Arizona. Few outside of the officers and directors of the company have anything like a fair idea of what has been accomplished, or the seriousness of the troubles which arose. In gen eral way it has been appreciated that there was a large amount of pumping necessary to free the levels from water but all Of the worries the public and the shareholders had not the least conception. Very few of them were advertised. Not only were there vol tunes of water to be lifted from the shafts, but there was the unrest that always follows such knowledge and it took skilled generalship to keep the wheels moving.
 Those who were at the head of this mining enterprise were sure of the main point, that there would be ore to pay for all the stream of money being poured out that the water might be lifted, the shafts sunk and the lev 1e all tatr that the ores when found would be of a class that would yield a profit even in the lowest selling markets, because Bisbee has an enviable reputation in this respect. Its product has always teen Of high grade and carrying i'm pOrtant values in gold and silver as well as copper. The ores also are nearly self-fluNing, an important item, that will be more appreciated when compared with some other regions now being given considerable atten- ton from the stock-selling standpoint
 The skilled men who were directing the Bisbee enterprise had dealt with the ore formations of the camp, open ing and operating the Calumet & Ari- zona mine. which has paid ten mil lions in dividends. and being good foI
  tain the Superior & Pittsburg ground would not disappoint them when they had reached the proper geological depth to expect the treasure. Large areas already exposed and being above this sea of water, had shown immense tracts of leached ores. a sure fore-runer of high-grade deposits, as well proved by developments in the Copper Queen mines and in the Cal umet & Arizona. The managers or Superior & Pittsburg were sure they would find the desired mineral could they lower the water. It took several years and a million dollars to accom- plish it. but they have done it. ra
 A few months ago the editor of Iron Ore visited Bisbee and went through the mines of the Superior & PittsbuTg company. We wrote about it upon our return home. The ores exposed in the principal shafts plainly showed that success had attended the efforts of the company. The ore is the thing, you know. in legitimate min ing operations, and the company had il, plenty Of it, and of the right grade Since our visit other important addi- tiOns have been made and there are more coming.
 The Briggs shaft. as We stated in our former articles, has a location that looks as if it would make one of the biggest mines in all Bisbee. It Is directly in line with the channel that has held the richest and largest ore deposits in the camp. It has a won derfully large area of leached ores, and the shaft is now sinking for the rich zone which will surely be found.
 But without the Briggs the company is opening fine deposits at the Juno ton, Cole, and Hoatson shafts. The ore is going to the smelter in a steady streams, and the output for last month was the best in the company's history. They are making money, begin now in the list of those produc- ing copper at very low price. Iron Ore maintains that the investor should deal with mines that can
