Ell PASO MAN IN

Former Chemist at Smelter
Looking After New Bis

The Bisbee Extension Development

of development work about six miles
northwest of Bisbee, over the Tomb

an abundance of capital behind 1T.
George P. Hyde. mining engineer of De-
troit, is connected with it. He was for
merly chemist and acting superintend-
ent of the Ell Paso smelter.
The company has sunk its shaft down
$40 feet and has encountered very
heavily minerahzed limestone, which
shows every indication of nearness of a
large body of ore. At the 400 foot level,
1900 feet of drifting was done showing
500 feet.o of this to be leached matter,
which was at one time an ore body, but
owing to oxidation and teaching, the
mineral contents have been redeposited
at a lower level.
The management therefore is conf
dent that it is opening up one OF the
biggest copper properties Of the Bisbee
district. which will be demonstrated in
the next few months.

the mine owners of the southwest are

Saws He Needs Mineral to
Make His New Storage
Battery a Success Com
mercially.

IT is claimed that Thomas A. Edison,
the great inventor, will next spring visit
the Red Bluff group of mines at the
head Of Grapevine Creek in the Black
Hills. eight miles south Of Jerome,
Ariz.. owned by S. Morrison and his
son, R. E. Morrison. The remarkable
thing about this property that leads
the wizard" on so long journey is
that it is claimed to be the only cobalt
mine in the United States, and cobalt is
the metal that is absolutely necessary
in the manufacture of Mr.. Edison's new
electric storage battery. He therefore
is vitality interested in this discovery.
Rich Cobalt Lode.
The group consists Of four claims
Up to year ago the owners were de-
veloping them for copper, gold and sill
yer and some excellent copper ore has
been uncovered But they have lost
interest now in the red metal For four
years the Morrisons worked on their
claims before they learned Of the pres
ence of cobalt in them. The cobalt lode
was found in spot where there was
no indication of mineral.
The earth was black at the particu-
lar spot and the owners thought there
might be a spring there. On digging
down they encountered huge pieces of
a peculiar black formation, and at
depth of four feet below the surface
they uncovered a ledge five feet wide
of what ultimately proved to be CO.
bait ore.
A year before, at another point a
little eastward, they had thrown several
hundred pounds of this mineral out of
q hole dug for copper ore, which at
the time they supposed TO be white
iron. Afterwards they had various sam
pies assayed al different places and the
assayers all pronounced it to be cobalt,
and running high in value. The vein
runs east and north around a corner
or angle and has been traced 500 feet
each way, the average width except at
the bend is two and half feet.
Value lis $3.50 Pound.
A shaft has been sunk 20 feet at the
widest place on the vein. The value
Of cobalt in the market is about $3.50
a pound. An expert has estimated that
there is between $4,000 and $4,000

SINGER TAKES PILLS AND DIES
IN AGONY; WOMAN ARRESTED

Paris, France, Jan. 26.-Sonis time
ago young tenor engaged at the Paris
opera died suddenly in the country,
where, in company with his wife, he
had gone to spend a few days with
friends. He complained in the evening
OF a headache. and the wife of his friend
offered him some antipyrine pills which
had been sent to her a few days. before
by an unknown person. NJ Goddard
took two of the pills. and died in hOr-
rible agony on the following day The
police were informed, but could make
nothing out Of 1t until one day the late
tenor's friend came TO the city and hap
pened to meet a young woman with
whom ne had a slight acquaintance a
few years ago. He wished to speak to
her, but she avoided him, and looked
so embarrassed that he connected her
name at once with that OF the mysteri-
Gus sender.
The writing on the parcels turned
out TO resemble her hand. and the po-
lice thereupon searched her room. where
they found a quantity of arsenic, for
which she could not account She was
arrested pending further Inquiry.

who confirmed the previous results and
pronounced it rich cobalt ore. Jordon
became very enthusiastic and on adj
vice of the assayer, visited Edison and
informed him of the remarkable discov-
cry Edison listened very closely TO
Jordon's story. He informed the latter
that his new storage battery, CAPABLE
of storing many times more electricity
than any other now in use, could not be
used commercially until an adequate
supply Of cobalt should be discovered;
and that if the discovery of the Morri-
sons proved half as good as Jordon

What Cobalt Is.
Cobalt is a mineral not generally
recognized by the western miner and
engineer. 1t has not been found ma
tive The ores of cobalt are sulphides,
arsenides, arseno-s ulphides. an oxide a
carbonate, phosphate and an arsenatc;
and nickel is often associated with CO.
bait in the sulphides and arsenides.
The ores having a metallic luster vary
in specific gravity, are nearly tin-white
or pale steel-gray, inclined to copper
red in color. The ores without a
metallic luster have a clear reddish
color Cobalt glance is tin-white
color, inclining sometimes to steel-gray.
Cobalt oxide is earthly and massive,
color black or blue-black. 1t occurs in
an earthly state mixed with oxide of
manganese. as a bag ore, or secondary
product. Cobalt bloom has a color,
peach-red, crimson-red, rarely grayish
or greenish.
1t is chiefly used for painting on
porcelain and pottery and used in the
oxide state.
