COPPER QUEEN COMPANY

COPPER QUEEN COMPANY
 No developments of importance were reported in the past week from the snafts of t1e Copper Queen pro. perJies beyond the fact that inCreas- ed production over last month con nitUes. At the close of the month there will be rubhshed in this col umn a summary of the month vol k and an account of development and other matters of interest " -ich were net at this time obtsinable.
 For sometime past there have been persistant reports that the Copper Queen company had purchased the Copper King property. An article relative to this was published in enc of the DosgIas papers last week. These reE orts have teen frequently investigated by The Review and it can be stated that no sale of the pro- perty has been completed and no money passed in such a transaction. That negotiations have been in pro gress for several weeks is admitted by owners ol the property in ques- ton but it is understood on waat ap- pears to be good authority, that one Of the owners has not yet signed the papers in the matter That there is 8 foundation to the report that the sale referred 70 is likely to be made seems unqu -stion7 7ble.
 Another important development in Fnelps.Dodge affairs was published in The Review on Friday. This was the taking over of the PromCutOrio property in Sonora from the Trayers interests TravCrs borrowed funds from Phelps Dodge interests after the 1907 panic for the purpose of completing an option cn and work ing the PromonJorio. This loan was not repaid and despite his efforts to interest eastern capital in the copper proposition he was unable 10 do so sufficiently to pay off the indebted ness and uot-ing remained but to take over the property in lieu of pay mcnt.
 The PromoutoriO is highly prom ising prospect and has shipped rich ore. t is handle pped by it's dis tance from railroad transportation supplies having 70 De taken iu and ore brought out by burro trains
 No yeritiCatiCu of the rumOE that a railroad will be builr from NaCo- zarl south has as vet been obtained and in t-e absence of Walter Doug las in Europe such an announcement IS not tC be expected.
 C. AND 4. COMPANY
 During the past week connection was made between the Briggs and the HoatsCn shaft at the 1900 level of the former. Work of sinking and drifting was in progress from the Briggs as has been previously been stated and at the same time rising was going on from the 1900 level of the float son. Last week the raise came into the Briggs drift aud now t-cse pro perties are connected up.
 l,so good strikes of ore are re- ported from tS, 1860 level of tho Briggs, one north and the other south of tne shaft Beth of these strikes are highly interesting and develop ments will be watched as Co tLem.
 Jn tne Junction in exploration 35 feet of ore has been crOsscut with highly satisfactory results.
 Ore from the Mag Is now being tak. en into the Oliver for hoisting 10 the surface a. fks l10 leveE In the course Of 6 week it is expected that these two workings will lave been connected at the 1SG0 level and the ore will be taken through such new connection instead of through the ll0.
 Connect Five Shafts
 One of the most interesting and in- rortaut undert t4kiugs in progress al the C. aud A. workings, and one which will mean a large saving to t1e eompauy is the connecting up of five shafts. 4 month more is necessary fo complete this work and when it has been done the water from live mines will be handled from one shaft and it is expected that ventilation in all of the five will bc much improY- cd
 As stated in this article it is ex- pccted that in week connection Rin have been made between the Oliver and the Mag on the 1900 level lt has been stated that the raise from The 1900 of the HostsOn has reached inc fsge level of the Briggs workings. Aifs.fdy flis 4fostspn and the June tio1 are contacted and the opepins into the Briggs workings therefore connected three properties. TheTe' is about a month Of work needed to brjnq the drift which is being extend cd from the HoatsOn into the Oliver Workings, and before that time the cennection referred to between the Oliver and Mag on the HOO level wz- be completed. When all of these
