Loeal Companies Show Increase
 he local companies seem to bc looking for a more urgent and active demand and to be making prepara- Iions for it. It was stated to a Re view reporter last week that the.e will be more matte turned out from the Copper Queen re1uction work at Douglas during the month of June than for any month since the depres- sion caused reduction of output dt the big sRelter. More ore is being taken from the company's mines in this district and at Nacozai. than has been mined in any month for nearly two years past, and that the ore that is now being taken out is of higher grade as well. Still further Til creases of production are planned for the fall. Thus a steady increase in the matte of output is to be expected from the C. c. shelter, although it probably will be some time before the figures are equaled that were maintained in the spring of 1907. At that time the Copper Queen reduc- tion works were doing large and luc rative customs are business as
 
 uct of it's own mines. This customs ore business nas been prac- tically nothing for the past eighteen months, and it will take time and the resumption of a number of small pro, ducers before it can be built up to the former figures. But the production of matte from strictly Copper Queen ore is now probably as great as at s,x ,.f pany. By the first of the month an added converter and probably an ai, ded furnace will still further in crease the smelter output for the month of July.
 The c. & A. smelter now has a greater capacity than ever before and thus the output of this company IS greater. What plans this company has for further increase in reduction works capacity 1t is not announcing but with the development work whicl it is doing in this district and .; Courtland as well 1t is not to be SIT missed that the company will be sati, fed with the present smelting capac , ity for any length of time. especial, as its policy has always been eNpsn siol.
 New Company Formed
 A recent feature of the local sitaa ton which comes in the way Of ca rcouraging news, was the announce
 nent in these columns last Sunday o the formation of the Bisbee Coalition ' company and it's taking over the !; claims of the North Bisbee Develop
 ment company, twentyfour in nuCl
 Der. In addition to these claims th' !, new company has a deal on for se' eral other claims, and promises x enter upon more development wori | than was ever attempted b, | the old company. This will meal a district which is highly thought q ,, activity in a district which is highl. thought Of, but has been comparative ly little developed and vii. open up new field for the camp.
 Il Denn Has Good Ore
 Il Denn continues to occupy the lime .l light locally. and again the week di' not pass without a strike in tais prof 1, erty. Indications are now that thi I company has found its ore body an !, Denl's future has considerably brighi
 ened. The new strike Is in cToss cut from the west drift and there i T four feet of ore which runs IF De cent or better and an unknown widtl
 where the values are from 3 to 5 pc } cent. There is also good ore in tn west drift outside of this cross cut , The Review was yesterday informe' , that the ore now being mined at tn Denn will pay 90 per cen. oI the d. ], velopment work which is being cor , tinued.
 1 No new announcements have com
 from Courtland, but a recent strik ], Is told of at Gleeson and the arriva !, of the railroads at that camp will rc' ] olutionize transportation methods an , end the primitive system of pac trains which has hitherto prevaile' lthere. The two neighboring camp of Courtland and Gleeson seem to b destined for busy, active and pros iperous cities in the future.
