Copper Queen Progress


 Copper Queen Progress
 Increase in prodbction from the mines for the month of November is the most important matter reported as to the Copper Queen company this week. The output of copper from the
 smelter has not yet been given out but the figures from the mines are at hand. In November there was shipped from the mines of that com rany in this district to the shelter at Douglas over 53,0O0 tons of ore. The recent average of ore taken from the Copper Queen mines has been from 46, ,000 to 4S,000 so the November increase over the average was be- tween ten and fiften per cent. It is reported that further increases are planned and that advices have come
 to Bisbee from the New York offices
 to push the production and to still further increase the output as there is an increased and and increasing
 demand in the market. Acting on those orders the increase during the month of December and until further
 orders or rather ordes to the con tary are received this policy is 10 be continued
 The Dallas shaft was cut into the
 raise that was put through to meet it at the li0 level during the past week Last month it was stated that this might be expected by December 10 to 12 but this estimate was sur 1 passed by three days and connection was made on Thursday night, Deem Der 10 and the record breaking shaft
 surpassed the record that had been set for it.
 The Dallas shaft has been sunk by
 been so remarkable that il has been watched with interest Starting well, the record of the second month sur passed the first and since that time each months progress has been great
 CT than that of the preceding month
 until in the past month the figures Of 200 feet for the month were reached. Had 1t not been for a temporary [ breakdown that caused the loss of a
 shift the 200 mark would have been passed and POS or possibly 2f0 feet made. The Dallas is still being sunk and will be continued to the 1900 ] level which station it is expected will be reached not later than Christmas. In the past no progress has ever been made in sinking any shaft that can begin to compare with that which has been made in this instance.
 At the Lowell the gas situation con ! tinues to improve. While there is | still a smoulderfng fire in the sul- phides of one of the old stopes, this
 has been almost extinguished and it ! is considered only a matter of a | short time before this has been com ! pietely effected. An air shaft Is be- | ing sunk at the Lowell which it is ! expected will be completed by the ' first of the year and when this has ! been done. the Lowell shaft will be, ! it is anticipated entirely clear of the
 lem, but which was able solved.
 During the past week there has been fire in an old stope aT the Hol- ! brook. This fire broke out in stope 55 and there has been found no difi-
 culty in confining it 10 the location
 where 1t started. l. is under control and at no time has it been considered
 at all of a serious nature.
 At the shelter in Douglas progress icontinues excellent in construction work and has now reached the stage
 that even the lakman can understand
 the magnitude and importance of the work IL will take months to com
 plete it but when it is done the new
 plant will compare fayorably with
 have been effected still further say
 ing in the cost of ore production.
 Much that has gone to waste before
 a few companies in the world that can
 the Copper Queen company will be
 able to.
 Calumet and Arizona
 Production at the mines of the C. and A. company in this district was
 practically the same in November
 as in October and the same is true of
