Bisbee daily review., 1911-10-01

There are some of the old residents of Arizona who will remember the Black Canyon "holdup," which at the time occasioned considerable of a sensation when such incidents were not altogether uncommon. There are others who have heard l. E. Solo mon, founder of Solomonville, tell of the affair and those who have en- Joyed that pleasure will always re- member it as he narrates it. His style is inimitable and so in the brief account of the thrilling affair, which was not without humorous incidents connected with it, no attempt will be made to put it in the language of MT. Solomon when he tells of 1t with no small amount of enjoyment, for it was an occasion that he has cause to remember with a considerable degree of satisfaction.
 In the days with which this tale has to do. I. E. Solomon was a mem Der of the firm of Solomon and Wickersham. who did a government contracting business. One of the con- tracts upon which this firm had been engaged was just completed and MT. Solomon went to collect the amount that was due them, having been in formed that the check was awaiting them. He received the check and proceeded on to Prescott, where he was to take the stage for home. In Prescott, Mir. Solomon approached a merchant with the check he had just received at the fort and asked to have it cashed, which the merchant readily agreed to do and counted out the money, winch amounted to btween 5000 and 4,000. When Mir. Solomon saw what pile of money he had to carry with him he hestitated. it may have been premonition, a ''hunch" -call it what you will-but he de- cided that he did not desire to carry so much money with him on the trip home that he was about to take, and 1t was this change of mind on his part that saved for himself and his partner the goodly sum that be saw piled up before him.

it became prominent in the copper producing world.
 For years no importance was at- tached to this ore that is now being mined and shipped. 1t looked like just dirt" Finally it was investi- gated and assayed, and this stun that seemed so common and so valueless was found to run high in values, lead predominating with silver and gold showing good values. Where the lead runs high the silver value declines and vica versa, when lead contents de- crease, silver contents increase. Gold runs from no appreciable value up to $40 per ton and silver values will also reach that value in some instan- ces. Today two carloads of very fine appearing ore will be brought up from the Lowell shaft and shipped to Fl Paso.
 As stated the ore that is now being taken out looked like nothing as to values and was consequently ignored. It occurs all through between the lime and copper When assays de- termined the values which it con tained it was found that there was SO MuIn ltdu Aildl IL NOuiN hON bN reduced with profit at the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas where such lead values would be lost and conse- quently the leasing system was adopt ed and the leasers ship the pro- duct to Fl Paso.
 On Friday night at the Lowell workings there was one great chunk of galena knocked down, which, when broken up, filled one mine car and half filled another. Such results as this and the satisfactory returns that are now being received from Fl Paso show the real importance of this discovery in the values of the sup posedly worthless ore that lies be- tween the lime and the copper, the ex- tent of which at this time can only be surmised although known to be large.
 In she Mining review of the Warren district published in these columns next week there will be contained an account of the work in progress by the c. and A. and s. and P. compan- ies.

me, after all, said MT. Solomon. that is if you will cash a personal check of mine for small amount, for just enough to take me home" To this the accommodating merchant agreed and MT. Solomon put the government check away, received the amount he needed for his travelling expenses and later started by stage for home
 There were a number of passengers in the stage when it left Prescott, including some army officers, meE chants and mining men and all had money; The trip proved uneventful until they reached Black Canyon, when a party of masked men stepped out, stopped the horses and ordered Hands up,' and hands went up pronto when the order was given. The whole affair was conducted quietly and courteously and Solomon was relieved of his watch and the lit. tie money that he had with him in cash. The others were also relieved of money, jewelry and other yalu- ables and the driver ordered to wait before driving on.
 While the party was waiting Solo mon approached the highwaymen and entered into conversation with them. He told them it was a slick job and we'll carried out and con- graduated them generally, especially upon the value of the haul which they had made. Right here was where Mir Solomon turned the con versation. He spoke of his watch that they had taken, said it was of little or no value to them, but that he valued it highly. They could not dispose of it for any great profit, he told them. and had done so well they could afford to give it back to him, which they good naturediy did
 A few minutes after the watch had been returned to it's owner the stage from the other direction was heard approaching and all the occu- pants of the first stage were warned to keep quiet and to give no alarm. The second stage came up and was duly held up. Here there were

 New shattuek Shelter.
 During the past week the announce ment that the Shattuck company is to build a smelter is the most im- portant item of local news. This in formation was gratifying to all resi- dents of the Warren district, indi- eating as 1t does, the early resump- tion of production by this property from its mines here and this on scale larger than 1t ever before has attempted. It is true, it will take time to build the smelter and the res umption is not likely to be immediate but it is probable that the resumption will occur well in advance of the blow ing in of the new reduction works. Such increase in operations at this property will rebound to the benefit of all the district making a third large producing company here. Mr. Shattuck told a representative of the Review that at the meeting held in the north while he was there the di- rectors passed the resolution for the building of such a plant but has not yet stated the immediate date at which such construction may be ex-

 Exploration is Continued.
 While there is little to be said as to production by either of the two companies, since no changes have been made or are announced to be contemplated, exploration work is be- ing actively continued by both com panies. This is being largely done at the 16oO foot level and the depth and permanancy Of the deposit thus being shown. A few years ago it was said that at this depth the Bisbee mines would be exhausted, but these knowing cnes were mistaken as has been proven and to what depth the deposits will run in the Warren dist rict no one now attempts any pro phesy.
 Other exploration work by the Cop per Queen company consists of sink ing of the Dallas shaft This new shaft is now down between 600 and TOO feet. Since it was started, working but two shifts of four men each. the Dallas has gone down stead fly at the rate of 120 to 130 feet per month.

pected to begin. Important as was | this announcement to the Warren dis | triet it was even more so to Douglas
 where immediate benefit will be seen
 in the employment of skilled artes-
 ans and mechanics in the construc-
 tion work. and consequently in-
 crease the monthly payrolls. IL adds materially to the importance of that
 city as a shelter city, for with the two | enlarged plants of the present com ! panies operating there this third
 smelter places Douglas still further forward in the rank of smelting centers.
 In this city the announcement has | provoked some curiosity as to the effect which it will have on the Denn property. There are many who main tain taat it means the resumption of work in the mines of that com pany as well as the Shatuck and as Bisbee has always held a large am- cunt of Denn stock the holders of
 these certificates are hopeful that such will be the case. Announcements in this respect are therefore eagerly awaited.
 Douglas appears to have been scarcely able to believe the good news as to the Shattuck, but when verifi- cation came there was consequent rejoicing. It was not the first time that it had been said that Shattuck would build and operate a plant of it's own there but it was the most de- finite announcement that has ever been made. Since in the past the ru- mors of a Shatuck smelter had been premature there was a natural hesi- tancy to believe the present reports without the full yerification which was given to the matter on this oc- oasion.
 Lease Work Is important.
 Comparatively little attention has been paid by the general public to the work which is being done by the leas- CTS of Copper Queen ground. This can only be accounted for by the fact of the importance of the development in the past few months not having been generally understood, the mean ing behind it not having been inter- preted. Its importance to the dis trict can hardly be over estimated for 1t is proving, has already practically proved, that the Warren district is not a copper producer alone but is a treasure vault for other minerals, lead. silver and gold. There are now fifteen leasers who are taking out ore of this character and shipping it to the Fl Paso smelter for handsome profits. Other camps. where one me tai has been exausted, have occasion ally developed mines of other miner als, but in the Warren district, while the copper mines have no end of pro dustion in sight. other important min eral values not heretofore known, have been developed at the same time. Warren is not a one metal district as 1t has been supposed to be since

the same province, near Altenkirchen; TO
his seat In the Prussian House of Lords
and TO the title of "fuerst." which is a
higher rank than that Of mere prince and
carries with II the predicate of serene
hiShness." The succession of Hermann
Hatzfeldt to all these honors and estates
is all the more interesting to people on this
side Of the Atlantic through the fact that
he is half an American, his mother having
been Miss Helen Moulton. of Albany. until
her marriage TO the late Count Paul HAITI

was divorced from her husband and then

OF Sommerberg. near Frauenstein. in the
district of Homburg.
The new Fuerst Hatzfeldt married last
month Baroness Marie Won Stumm. who,
like himself, has an American mother, for
her father, Baron Ferdinand Stumm. for
many years German Ambassador at Mad

man, the New York banker. and Of his
wife, Miss Athenais Grymes. of that well
known Grymes family from which Grymes
Hill, on Staten Island. takes its name.
The marriage of Marie Stumm was brought
about by her great friend the German
Crown Princess, who had her with her in
Egypt as lady-in-waiting last winter in
order that she might have the oppor-
