BIG THINGS IN SIGHT

The following concerning the min
ing industry in this district is taken
from Iron Ore, published at Ishpem-
ing Michigan:
The Copper Queen company is sink.
ing a shaft on the Dallas claim. Iron
ore has several times referred 20
this new opening and predicted it
would meet with ores OF value The
location OF this shaft is west from
the Briggs shaft of the Calumet ami
Arizona Mining company, only two
claims intervening II is about mid.
way between the Briggs and the Coie
shaft of the latter company, being
only a few hundred feet north of
line drawn between the Briggs and
Cole.
That the Dallas claim shaft has run
into ore OF high grade is a fine thing
for the Copper Queen company and
the fact that is also Of interest 20
those concerned in Calumet and Ari-
IONA. as il further establishes the
value Of the ground in that portion OF
the Bisbee camp. IL suggests that the
copper-carrying channel of this sec
ton is much wider than many had
figured and is all important TO the
town of Bisbee in which it is located
The Briggs and Cole shafts of the
Calumet and Arizona Mining company
are about 5000 feet apart. At the
Briggs splendid ore bodies are now
being developed. and important dis
coveTies have been made about the
Cole. With the Dallas in good ore at
a point about midway between the
two. only a trifle farther north, II
looks particularly good for the future
operations OF the Calumet and Ari.
IONA company in this section.
Gradually the copper channel in
this portion of the camp is being fol-
lowed in a southerly direction and big
things are expected as the miners
proceed. Very rich copper ores are
being hoisted from the Briggs aud
Junction shafts of Calumet and Ari-
iona and the deposits are very large
as well as exceptionally rich in COP
per and gold There's about three
cents worth of gold 10 each pound of
copper metal, and the result from this
combination is very low production
costs. II will readily be seen that
with ores so rich the company must
be making very fine earnings as the
cost per pound must be away down.
Iron Ore believes that Calumet and
Arizona is making cheaper copper
from this portion of its properties
than any other concern in the world.
The new work in the Bisbee basin
looks well for all the southern por-
ton Of the camp, extending to and
through the Warren location. The
next year viii undoubtedly add great
lV 10 no
Btshee camp and the Bonanza Circle
will have been enlarged in radius con
sideTably.
Bisbee. after thirty years OF eXplor-
ing, is now just getting into its real
ore deposits. 1t is bonanza camp. the
exception TO the general average Of
copper producers. II has decided ad-
vantages that will keep il alive and
successfully active no matter how
keen the competition in the copper
world The quality of its ores and
the ease with which they can be treat
ed assures its constant operation. II
doesn't have 10 worry
Calumet and Arizona has taken a
two-year option on the LeadhiIl and
Lone Star claims at Superior from
their owner Frank Schneider. for a
consideration OF $4,000 The com
pany has also taken an option on four
claims for the sum Of $4,000 and on
several other claims for $4,000. Al
though the reserves OF Calumet and
Arizona are larger at the present time
than at any other time in the con
Germs history, the management is con-
stantly on the lookout for promising
mineral territory. A large number Of
options have been taken in the past
few months and the work of explor-
ing the new ground will 90 ahead rap
idly.
