This new but flourishing mining camn will soon rank as one of CO chises county's producing mines. Al present but little is heard of It. The claims are located sixteen mics rom WiIcox in the Dos CabeZas mount aims and have shown up by a sys ten, of tunnels over 6.000.000 tons CT sulpbide ore. They have just in- stalled the largest Distslliate engine i'm the world. Ths engine developed 300 horsepower It will run an ID gersoll and ten-drilI air copressor' be- sides a lathe. fans, emery Wheeis' grindstone. etc. The Distillate Is sent in cars to Wilcox and then ban;ed by teams to the mines
 Cochise county can boast of many things, viz:
 The best copper on earth.
 The largest and heaviest tram h the world.
 Tne biggest and best underground humping plant in the world at a great depth. which is that of the fono' stone Consolidated.
 The biggest and best Disullate en- zine in the world.

 The present Koppel cars have prov en themselves a nuisance and are expensive in both time and labor They are built on the order of the railway ore cars, with a bottom in the shape of an inverted 'V.' but on account of the soft and doughy na- ture of the ores in tLis district. when the doors are opened by the trips the ore fails to run out. and the cars have to be rocked and bumped in order to shake the ore loose. This necessitates the labor of two or more men. Again with dry ore. the doors fly open while in transit, blocking the water ditches and tracks, causing the employment of another man. to keep the ditches and tracks clear. Then when the Koppel cars are in service any length of time. the doors get bent out of shape and are only closed by continued hammering. taking about onehalf of the loader's time As the new cars have no door. this trouble will be done away with. the motor will be able to pull a third more every trip and as time will be saved in dumping them they will be able to make about two more trips a shift

MAMMOTH COPPER.

Bedding, Cal, advices state that the Mammoth Copper company has signed an agreement with the execu- tive committee of the Shasta County Farmers Protective Committee which covers all points of dispute It provides for the payment of damages by the company for all destruction of crops by smelter fumes prior to the completion of the new playhouse, which will go into commission about June. This agreement will enable the company to carry on work in the usual way without fear of interference from the agricultural interests. With the completion of the playhouse it is believed that no further cause for smoke conferences will exist. The big Kennett plant is producing at an approximate rate of 3,500,00O pounds of blister copper a month Extensive developments at the Mammoth mines in addition to vigorous work at the many outside properties of the com pany. continue.

Building Enterprises Now Under Way Up Main Street Ao gregate in Value Fully s1oo, 900; Eks Building Will Add Notably to Progress and Spot Lately Burned Will
 Have New Buildings

It is a sourse of qualification to observe that, even when time are com paratively dull. Bisbee is not at a stand still" Rather, she is taking advantage of the ,ull to get herself in shape 10 meet the rush of business when it comes. CTeditable business houses are being erected: new resi- dences are being built and other sub stantial improvements made.
 On Main street. alone, there are five large buildings in various stages of construction,
 Kline. Letson and Marks are ex- cayating for a two-story structure 10 be made of brick and concrete The building. when completed, will have six store rooms below and numerous office rooms above.
 The material for this building has been ordered and it will probably be ready for occupancy about the first of June. The cost is estimated at S20,000.
 Quinn Brothers of Douglas, are mak ing excavations on the old Costello lot for a new theatre. This will be entirely of concrete, one story with gallery and will seat about eight hun dred people. It will be completed sometime in May and will cost sl0,OOO.
 The Masonic Temple, farther up the canyon. is now being put in. The Temple when completed, will be two stories in height and will have three stores below. It will be made of con crete with a brick front and will cost s22,O00. At least ninety days will be necessary for the completion.
 The Citizens Bank and Trust Co. is to be located near the center of the block on Main street. The building will be but one-story and occupied by the bank only. The foundation has already been finished and the superstructure begun. The contract calls for completion the first week in May. This building is to be of re- inforced concrete, thoroughly modern. and. though small, will be a very neat and very attractive banking house. It will cost in the neighborhood of S2O,O00.
 But, perhaps, the most pretentious of al. will be the new Elks' Club house. that is to be erected on their lot next to the Palace Livery stable. This lot contains the remains of the old club house that was destroyed by fire, and is now being cleared for the
Bisbee daily review., 1910-03-13

new building. which will be of brick and concrete with steel frame.
 This will be an especially handsome building. two-stories high, with base ment below. The interior decoration will be of tile.
 The first floor will contain spacious ioung1ng room, parlor, large recreation room. billiard and Q pool room.
 Above will be large ante rooms and a generous kitchen, while in the base ment will be the heating plant and the stock room. This building will be ready for occupancy in July and will cost $25,OOO.
 In addition to the above might be mentioned the Copper Queen hospital, which will be completed in about two months and will be strictly up to date with all modern appliances.
 The Copper Queen nurses also are to have new quarters. Their building will be made of cement books and will cost about $l2,O00.
 As for the district lately burned. good brick buildings certainly will go up there, but, as yet, no definite ar rangemets have been made. It is understood that Whaley, Walsh and Gowans are already contemplating the erection of a building on their former site. So that, even the fire disaster will have turned to good, in that we will have bigger, better and prettier buildings than we had before.
 Furthermore. the street car line ts being extended up the canyon and will soon be completed and in operation. New roads are beig built in our town. notably on Chihuahua and School hills. The Fire department is to have a new fire house up Tombstone can yon, on the ground next to Burnetts
 The school board is putting double wall in front of the Lincoln school and setting out shade trees. The gen eral planting of trees. alone, should be a source of great pleasure to every man in Bisbee. For surely. nothing is more desirable nor more commend able than the wide spread distribution of shade trees. It breaks the monOt- onous appearance of the mountains and makes for peace and comfort in @ sun-baked land. Hence, it is with joy. we learn that there has been greater number of cottonwood and other shade trees planted this spring than ever before in the history of the town.

Courtland. through it's chamber of commerce. has officially denied the reports of the abandonment of the camp. which recently gained wide circulation. In this connection the Alizonan says:
 While it is true that the Copper Queen has abandoned work on the property on which that company held options. it was stated that at no time had that company worked on more than two shafts at any one time.
 Tn this connection it was shown that Walter Douglas has been quoted in the Arizona Mining Journal as saying that his company had not abandoned Courtland permanently and that work would be resumed when the conditions were more fay- orabie
 "One year ago, when two railroads were hurrying to get into Courtland, there were but five shafts at work and since that time the Mamie has been started and worked continuously. and the Gold Queen has been put in the producing class.
 A resolution was adopted by which the secretary was ordered to commu- nicate with the two papers of Doug las and Bisbee. also the Tombstone | paper. asking them to send represen- | tatives to Courtland to be met by l members of the chamber of commerce and mines. who will show them the actual conditions that exist in this camp at the present time in an effort to counteract the false impression which is being sent out through the columns of the papers of the terri | tory

THUMB BUTTE.

YUMA. March 12.-RepOrt of strikes being made in the Thumb Butte mining district dribbIe into Yu- ma almost every day. W. R. English one of the English boys who located the English strike, recently, is in luck again. A few days ago he lo- cated a ledge of gold bearing quartz one and one half miles from the original strike, sample from which assayed s3,36O. He believes he has found even a richer ledge than the original, which is still showing up well.
 F.. O. Grady and his wife have io- cated a claim three miles from the Thumb Butte shaft which shows free gold in every piece of ore and winch will undoubtedly assay well up .nto the hundreds.
 A dozen outfits are working in the hills around Thumb Butte, all finding rock that promises well. It begins to look like the Thumb Butte mine is in the center of what is destined Co be the richest mining district in Yuma county.
 J. P. Moffat, manager in charge Of the work at Thumb Butte came in on the train last evening and re- | ports the work at the mine going along as well as usual with great deal Of activity in the h,Is.

INTERNATIONAL sMELTING-


 The new shelter at Tooele city Is progressing rapidly in spite of the drawbacks incident to severe storms and delay in getting building material" reports F. E. McGurrin to the Salt Lake Telegram.
 Several carloads of material are arriving daily and a force of 300 men is at work on the plant This will be immediately increased as every effort is being made to have the smeiter completed soon after April 1, when the contract with the Utah Consolidated for the treatment of it's ores goes in to effect. The arerial tramway of the Utah Consolidated will be in readiness although great difficulty has been ex- perienced in building it over the top Of the range owing tO the heavy snows and frequent storms. The standards to hold the cables are com pieted over the divide and down the Tooele side to within 100 rods of the shelter"

The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company gave to each of it's employees the past week a printed re- port of the Copper Queen Benefit as sociation, which was read by all and nothing but praise from the employees regarding this move on the part of the company could be heard.
 The policy of the Queen by coop erating with it's employees has been given large space in the mining mag azines. especially so in Mines and Methods. mining journal printed in Salt Lake City. In their last num- ber. of February. they devote five en- tire pages to the Queen and her broad and liberal policies.
 This magazine is published and edited by a miner who is a miner and who worked. not only in Bisbees fam ous shafts but those of all the noted producers. hence the reliability of his stories.
 1t is only matter of time when the entire mining world will follow the policy of our mining camp in look ing ahead for the future welfare of its employees.

Surveyors were busy the past week running line in preparation Of raising from the six hundred to the five in order to connect with the pres ent bottom of the shaft. The trolley wires in most of the drifts have been raised up to a height of seven feet or more. or else securely boxed in' SO as to prevent future accidents The motors are not able yet to keep the ore out of the chutes. although they are running overtime

The hours of work in the coal mines of Belgium are restricted to nine a lay by the new law recently passed by the Belgian Senate. lt is on,y in the large mines that mechanical appli ances are used underground, and the new law will either shut many of these down or compel them to adopt these appliances; or it may be they will be absorbed by the larger com panies. But the undulating character of the coal seams in many of the mines makes it difficult to use coal cutting machines, so that the result of the new law with nine hours work from bank to bank must restrict the coal output.

At the Czar on the 500. in what is known as the dividend country. which is situated under the old slag dump, a diamond drill was running some time ago, and from good authority ] learn that the drill. at depth of 25o feet. entered a deposit of soft sul- phide. It is claimed that at 270 feet the water was so strongly impreg- mated with copper and sulphuric acid that drilling had to be discontinued on account of the water eating up the rods. If this story is true, what IS the future of the Warren district? A, present the Czar has depth of 400 feet. the Holbrook 800, but with ore found between these shafts at depth of 25s feet more, We may look Tor some deep mining in the upper end of he great quadrangle.

BOSTON, March PA feature of the operations of the Greene-Cananea Copper Co. at the present time is the decline :n the gold and silver value in the ore.
 In the month of January to 1790 tons. The February copper output was slightly above that for January, but the silver recoverey was less by 10000 ounces, and the gold recovery was smaller by 7S ounces.
 The combined product of January and February, while showing a small increase this year in the copper out put over the same two months of last year, shows a decrease of 14,50O ounces in silver and a loss of 2i0 ounces in gold.
 The precious metal values are im- portant as tending to reduce the cost of recovering the copper.

AEFFeRN MINING 6 DEv. co.

A meeting of the directors of the Heffern Mining and Development Co. was held in Bisbee March 10h and it was decided to install a mill and cyaniding plant on the property to take care Of the recently uncovered gold ledge on Bonanza hill
 A 4x10 shaft is being sunk on this ledge and a force of men are now at work erecting a gallows frame and framing timbers for a shaft collar.
 Average samples taken from an eight foot cross cut on he gold ledge give values by cyaniding tests of S19 95 per ton.
 President Heffern's report of con ditions at the property shows rapid development and under his direction surveying parties are engaged in a resurveying Of the entire holdings and are embodying in three groups the 210 claims owned by the com pany.
 A survey of the damsite shows a dam of 34 feet in height will make a reservoir one mile in length and 30e feet in height would give surface di mensions of 90 square miles.

started this week to throw the water across to the Junction on that level. and the steam turned off on the steam pumps. The result of a cold shaft was immediately felt at both mines and good cool air is appreei- ated in a mine where water is to be pumped. The electric pump is doing its work very nicely.
 At the Junction an importan- feat ure of the development was the cut. ting of the big sulphur body south of the shaft on the 1900 foot level This ore body has now been found on the levels and it is apparently richer on the 1500 than on ei;her of the upper levels.
 At the Briggs shaft the 1900 sta tion is just about completed and dur ing the coming week the pump will be installed and sinking resumed
