CANANEA, Mex. Oct. 5.-The
Greene -Cananea is continuing the op-
Grafton of six furnaces at its smelter.
How long the use of this number will
be continued is not known at present.
With six furnaces operating, the pro
duction should be in the neighborhood
of sixty-five to seventy tons Of copper
daily.
The new concentrators have arrived
and will soon be installed, the new
structure for them having been COM
pIeted.
The Cananea-Boston company, oper-
ating west and north of town, near the
Calumet and Sonora property, has en-
countered silver-galena ore in its
Reeves shaft at a depth of forty feet.
During the past week two crystal
caves have been encountered when
revealed a great amount of galena
which had been precipitated on the
crystals. Assays have been made OF
three samples which ran fairly nigh.
No. 1, a sample of sorted ore, ran 56'9
per cent lead and SO ounces in silver;
No. 2, the medium grade ore, ran BOA
per cent lead and 72.6 ounces Of silver,
and No 8. the general run of ore as
from the thaft, ran 2S.S per cent lead
and 80 ounces in silver. Naturally no
mine has yet been discovered, but the
best indications that they will have
rich producer in a short time. The
shaft is sunk at the juncture of two
prominent veins, one of which is the
Norton vein, which comes from the
Calumet and Sonora property, and
traverses the entire distance of the
Siempre Viva announcements.
The new shaft, which is down sew
enty feet, is being timbered, and when
this is completed a drift will be run
into the vein which is believed to be
close at hand, IS it is very consplcu-
GUS on the surface. Considerable ore
has been encountered in this smart
and some assays have run as high as
SAG ounces in silver. H. S. Smith is
the president of the company and also
manager.
Bendelari & Cook, who are operat-
ing on the Miles and Tomlinson de-
nouncements, which lie northwest of
the Calumet and Sonora mines, have
encountered rich ore in the new shaft
which, was recently sunk at short
distance from the No. l shaft. The
ore is rich in peacock copper and lead.
Three shifts are being kept continu-
ously at work and the shaft, which
was begun about a month ago, has
reached a depth of eighty feet.
WILL SELL DENOUNCENIENT
At a special meeting of the Rio
Yadui and Arizona company, which
was held at Bisbee recently, 1t was
agreed to sell its Arizona denounce-
ment to ]. E. Curry. 1t is believed
that Curry represents the San Antonio
company, who own extensive holdings
in the locality of the property sold.
The Cinco de Mayo property IN the
Tigre district is working full handed
at present, there being about 200 men
employed on the property. The COM
pany is preparing to make few large
shipments. The company will soon in |
stall some additional machinery.
The Roy mine. which adjoins the |
Cinco de Mayo, has ceased operations |
temporarily.
The North Tigre is doing consider |
able development work. The tunnel, |
which is prosecuting the veins, is in |
800 feet, and will have to be driven |
about 100 feet more to reach the vein, |
where it will be 800 feet lower than
any of the numerous tunnels which |
drift on the vein.
The Antigua company is at present !
employing 100 men and a hoist has |
been installed. The company is plan
ming to erect a reduction plant after |
more ore is blocked out.
The Transvaal company, operating |
in the Cumpas district, is doing a great |
amount OF diamond drill exploration |
work. A hole on the Transvaal claim |
has been sunk to a depth of 1850 feet |
end will be cut to a depth of 1900 feet |
On the Cobre Rico announcement three |
holes have been sunk with good re |
suits. The company intends to sink
three more holes in order to further !
demonstrate the extent of the ore |
bodies. Two eighty horse power boil |
ers have been installed at the Trans |
vaal also a compressor and a dyna- |
mo. The Transyaal shaft has been |
unwatered to the 300 level, where be- |
tween $500 and 5000 feet of workings !
have been done. About 150 men are
employed at that property.
