Mohave County miner., 1910-06-25

the state government In granting the liberal concession, appreciates the wonderful amount of profitable work accomplished at Cobre Grande by the big company under the capable man. agement of A. NJ. Conard, of this city, who is president and general manager of the s. c. s. Co. generally known as the Sonora Copper Company.
 The erection of the shelter at Cobre Grande, near Noria, from where a railroad will shortly be built a dis tance of only about three miles, will be a great benefit to the entire district where are located many valuable min ing properties, the ores from which will be received by the s. c. s. Co.,, as soon as the capacity of the plant is increased, as we'll as to the state and government.
 Just as soon as the smelter is erect ed, the company agrees to receive, each year, five students for apprentice ship in the mines, shelter or shops, appointments being made by the gov ernor of the state of Sonora.
 Between the state and the company, as we'll as the Southern Pacific rail- road company, there is the best of feeling and fullest confidence.
 The railroad company recognizing the immense value of the great cop per-silver-gold properties owned by the company and the management's continuous successful efforts for about four years to develop a great mine, at no small expense, established a hand some station and erected suitable, con- venient buildings down at Noria for the comfort and convenience of the company. They now only await the pleasure of the management to con- struct the spur connecting the main line with the shelter near the mine, from where ore will be brought over the tramway, the survey for which was made by Mir. H. Gordon Glore, the we'll known mining engineer of this c,ty, who also designed and drew the plans for the shelter.
 Eight carloads of engines, boilers, stacks, etc., for the shelter, have all ready been sent south to Noria by Roy & Titcomb, Inc, of Nogales, who have the contract for the plant. A tele- gram just received here states that the furnace being built at El Paso, Texas, by the Fl Paso Foundry & Machinery Company, is about ready for shipment.
 Grading for the shelter is now un- der way, and big standard we'll drill ing outfit to be used for developing artesian water both at the shelter and on the company's great l2,OOO acre agricultural farm in the valley. is on the ground and will be operated by experienced well drillers.
 In the meantime development of the great copper silver-gold mines con- tinues without interruption with the most improved machinery that money can buy.
 An up-to-date Westinghouse loo horse power electric plant is now be- ing installed in connection with air compressor and machine drills, cleo tric hoists, pumps and other machin- cry, all of which is up-to-date and modern.
 Work in the mine is keeping abreast of other great improvements constantly in progress at Cobre Grande.
 The main working tunnel is in 1900 feet.
 In addition to the copper-silver-gold ore being blocked out, cross-cut in the main tunnel has developed a body of thirty four feet high grade huxing lime, carrying gold and silver values more than sufficient to pay cost of min ing and transportation to the shelter. .Nogales Vidette
