BISBEE EXTENSION MINE
 RESUMES OPERATIONS

like manner in which the Blsbee EX- tension has resumed operations under it's new management places that prop erty in the limelight of the local DOT tion of the mining world. Being vir- tually a close corporation, the interest
 in its future is confined wholly to its aspect as a test of the western portion of the Bisbee Quadrangle; if it un- covers ore on the Tombstone side of the Divide the ore possibly of the Warren mining district will be dOu- bled, for the geologieally learned men who read the great rock-bound tome of nature by their knowledge of the lithologie and paeleontologic writing of the ages tell us that there exists on the side of the Mule mountains the same sedimentary structure and igneous intrusions that have made possible the famous deposit eontigu- ous to Bisbee.
 Long familiarity with known eondi- tiOns tend to make us insular in our judgment concerning mines, as in oth- CT matters, and beyond those person ally interested there are few who give much thought to the possibility of cop per beds beyond the divide of Mule Pass; yet the days are not long past when the pioneer of this city looked upon the location of the present Cal umet & Arizona and Lowell mines as outside the probable ore zone. The Bisbee Extension and neighboring ground from a geological viewpoint nave as much chance of becoming cop per producers as any other section of the district.
 The company was incorporated with a capitalization of SO,OOO shares, 6O,- 900 being devoted to development, 2O,- 900 having been used for purchase of the claims. Every director paid for stock, and less than one-tnird of the development stock had been used for development accomplished at the time it suspended work. At that time it included about 501 acres, but its acre age has recently been increased to eos. The present board of directors include F. L. Harrington, president; F. D. Craig, vice president; F. R. Pass, secretary and treasurer; F. J. Navin, and w. NJ. Cute. MT. Clute continues as manager, and Geo. W. Long as foreman. w. H. Yawkey, a multi millionaire of Detroit, no doubt is the heaviest financial packer of the pro- iect, although his name does not ap- pear in the printed list of the direct ors of the company. Yawkey and as sociates acquired their interest in the property by purchase of 1000 shares of its stock If Yawkey's good for tune remains with him in his present venture tne success of the Bisbee Ex- tension is assured, for that gentleman has been invariably successful in ev- cry undertaking. frRm lumber and mines to baseball. r. J. Navin and F. R. Pass are president and vice presi- dent respectively of the Detroit bat wielders, and Yawkey is generally sup posed to be the power behind them in the management that put the Tigers on a paying basis.
 Their shaft is now 40 feet deep, and when a depth of 435 feet has been attained drifting from the 400 level will begin. The extra 8 feet IS considered necessary as a stump. The 400 foot mark has been decided upon as a probable water level in view of the fact that general water level of the Warren district is about4, POO feet. As the altitude of the collar of the Bisbee Extensions shaft is 4,660 feet the 400 level will be 4,26O, or approx imately the supposed water level of this region. The Extension is now working a force of 15 men, including two shaft crews, and as they will soon begin drifting in these directions to cut known faults the force will be ap- preciably augmented in the future. The plants equipment consists of a Fairbanks Morse 6O-horse power gaso- line engine, a Sullivan 3-drill eOmpres- sor and a 22-horse power gasoline hoist which will he efficient for the lifting done during the present stage of development.
 In the event of disclosing ore the property is fortunately situated for the Fl Paso and Southwestern can be reached with six miles of track along gentle grade The Bisbee Extension is about seven miles northeast from Bisbee
