Bisbee daily review., 1911-01-26


 Survey, indicate that mining in Ari- zona was decidedly active in 1910. The copper output of the state, which greatly exceeded that of Mon tana. fell below that of 1909, bat was nearly 297, 7,O00.0o0 pounds, which shows that the large smelters were doing steady work, The copper ore mined in Arizona supplies about one-third of the states usual gold output and two-thirds of its aver age silver production There were marked changes in the gold output of the state, which were due al most entirely to activity at the Gold Road and Tim Reed mines, in Mo have county. The final figures will probably show a larger production oi gold than for any year since 1906 when the total was l45,O0O ounces. The silver production was over 2,50O,- GOO ounces. or more than the output of 1909. The lead output was prob ably less than that of the preceding year. when it was slightly over g. 0oO.0OO pounds The output of zinc, which in 1909 was equivalent to a recovery of nearly 6,OOO.o00 pounds of spelter, may have reach 7,000,0o0 pounds in 1910.
 cochise County.
 In Cochise County the Copper Queen plant was producing at the rate of S,O0O.O0O pounds of copper month in January, exclusive of that derived from Mexican ore In the later part of the year this re- cord was not upheld, and n Decem- ber work was started on two new reverbatory furnaces and McDougall roasters. At the Calumet and Ari- zona smelter more than 100000 pounds a month was being turned out. although the plant was not run at full capacity During the per iod of curtailment the later part of the year the blast furnaces were enlarged to a total capacity of 8, GOO tons day Shipments from the Shattuck mine increased, from three to five cars Of r per cent ore be ing sent daily to the Copper Queen shelter. The 200-ton mill at the Commonwealth mine at Pearce was destroyed by fire in April, but in No vember another cyanide and leach ing plant of 125 tons capacity was in operation. The fight against wat CT continued at the Tombstone Con soidated property, where pumping was carried on at the rate of 6, 500.0O0 gallons a day. From thi: locality the Royal Guard Mines Co was said to have done some ship ping
 GiIa County.
 In Gila County the Old Dominion shelter turned out more than 2 225.0OO pounds of copper a month which is somewhat less than it full capacity. The Arizona Commer cial Copper Co. operated it's mating plant for four months, treating POI tons or more a day. In May tn plant was closed and development continued al the mine. The opeI ators of the Warrior. mines shippet at the rate of 100 tons day t Fl Paso and Globe, and the SuperiO and Boston Copper Co. was shippin 50 tons of 9 per cent copper ore day. An unusual amount of wor was done by chun drill as well a by drifting on large low-grade coI per deposits.
 Graham County.
 In Graham County the Shannon Arizona Copper, and Detroit plant were collectively averaging 6,O0o,OC pounds of copper a month.
 Marieopa County.
 At the Vulture gold mine, in Maj copa County, the old mill was ru half the year, and the first unit { the new stamp mill, with cyant plant. was in operation in August.
 Mohave County.
 Great progress was made in NJ have County in production and min building. From the GolconC mine rich zinc ore was being sh ped at the rate of about 800 tol a month, and a concentrator was ing constructed. The bullion fro the 2O0-ton mill at the Gold Bol mine amounted to s5O,OOO or mo month. In November the m had been enlarged to treat 300 tor The 1O-stamp mill at the Tom Re was treating 35 tons of $40 gold o a day With the addition of a nc tube mill the tonnage treated W increased in the last months
 the year. The Banner and Tenn' see mines were again brought to shipping basis by the United Stat Smelling & Refining Co. which h constructed a concentration plant
