Every Evidence That c. & A. People Are But Biding Time -Bisbee- Sonora Has Great Future in Store


 There are not wanting those of .eI,
 utation Tn mining afia ITS who, predict in the ensuing few months. at the out. side wirhin the next two years, tn,s
 will be opened to the copper world, just as Courtland Is at present beihs developed, a district in the Chlricahua mountains which will be second tU none Tn the territory These mou.s- ta ns, which parallel the eastern boun- l diary of Cochise county for a dislal.De q fifty or more miles. have been placed in the f,i'est reserve because. of the valuable timber on thc'r giahL 1 peaks, but they have also been kno~ ~h
 for years as the depository of rich min eral.
 There is Groos I-lctlcally posItn D ! that the big Calumet & Arizona com
 pany. which has taken the lead iu the development oi Courtlard. is fully aware of the senarkatle copper de posits in the Chirioahuas and is only 1 biding its tiIne until the proper uniss
 to open up this virgin field The story of their developments in tne, region of Paradise. where under the
 name of tte San simon Development company they spent iu the neighbor-
 Aood Of s400.OOO, Is well known. There Is practically little denial also of the lfact that they ran into a body Of Olt
 through which they ran drift 20 feet
 before reaching the lime on the other
 side.
 Subsequent proceedings Of the C. S
 A. people are convincing that they found enough 10 convince them that
 they had opened up a great copper re zion. TAey allowed the bond they nau on the rroperty to lapse and let the
 mines fill with water. And yet they turned around and bought in this same property and today have the claims patented. Not only did they do tnis. but they acquired, under the name of the Manhattan Development company, the Manhattan group, the company being composed Of representatives Of the Cole-Ryan interests and Duluth parties. They have patented tue ground. The purchase price is said to
 have been in the neighborhood or s160,0O
 The Sullivan group, near the Man
 haitian, consisting of four claims, rz owned by Mir. Barden, one of the heav- lest owners of Shattuck: Rice Broth CTS and others. They paid S25,0G0 for this property. Some of the best ore
 in the district has been encountered here, but no active development work has been done on this property for some time past. This company has
 s27O00 in the treasury for develop ment purposes.
 Adjoining the Manhattan is the San simon Development company. owned by the Calamet & Arizona company. ThiS 't-pperty is patented ground. There has been spent upward ofsS40O,- 900 in development work and macaIH- cry. It is reported that they passeo
 through some 90 feet of concentrating CTS
 Situated between the Manhattan
 and the Sullivan properties is the Bis
 bee sonora property, consisting of a group of about thirty claims, Compris- ing nearly 500 acres. This property
 has been steadily worked during the i past two years. the company never | having lost a shift since beginning The contact is It-iucipally lime, with . rttle porphyry.
 There is a considerable amount of development work done upon this
 yroperty, there being two tunnels be | ng driven at the present time. The | upper tunnel. known as the Carmody tunnel, has passed the 3OO-foot dis, | tance and is being run by contract | work. This is cutting a 4O-foOt ledge | with cuts through the country sey, | eral thousand feet. The tests which
 were sent o the Copper Queen and C. 1 6a A smeters at Douglas were about | S55 per ton. A test was also sent to | Fl PasO. where a like test was made The york or the lower tunnel To | being rushed as rapidly as possible ! and the best lead and silver ore eyCr ' taken from the property is now beiu, mined. This ledge is 70 fet wide. The l lead is giving away to copper, which is coming in with every shot This | entire ledge runs better than s20 per | ton. This company is working a good force of men. They have spent SiS,, OO0 cu development work
 In addition 70 this property they
 own the Paradise group of ten claims, the Ohio group east of Bisbee of e.glt. i teen claims and two other properties. ! -F-
