While what has been said of oxides
and sulphides IS to some extent ap
pHcable to the Copper Queen mines, il is
not entirely So In these mines there
are ores OF practically all characters
and recently there have been some
good oxide finds that add to the re
serve store Of this character Of ore.
These stores are chiefly at the Uncle
sam, Southwest and there is a very re-
cent strike on the 1900 level Of the sac

ides to be found and one at wnlch the

TO the time when the local mines were
glad to get sulphide ores and would use
as low as one percent ore il the sulphur
contents were high enough.
Tt is not generally known that the
Copper Queen mines here are sending
to Globe daily two carloads Of this
character Of ore It runs from 1 10 -
percent copper and contains 45 per
cent sulphur This is needed to add 10
the ores of Globe to obtain the most
economical smelling results
So far as the Copper Queen itself IS
concerned, the smelter people have but
to notify the mines that they need
certain character Of ore in certain
quantities for specific purpose ana
with day or two the desired ore IS at
the reduction Work Such are lle ~
cilities for meeting the demands and
so great are the varieties OF ores deVeI-

Pictures above show two of these

the remarkable characteristics are
that the animal is larger than the
average beef steer. II has much the

The meat of these hybrids is said
to be much more palatable than the
meat of the average beef steer, buf-

that is much more palatable than beef;
this flavor is impaired in the Inter
