Bisbee daily review., 1912-10-06

From C. and A. sources t is learned that it means that the company will be enabled 10 handle an equal Quan- tity, that is 200 tens, more of it's own suiphide oreI more than can now be untilized to advantage
 In the earlier days of the Warren district a large proportion of oxide ores was used for then that character preponderatcd. Later more sulphide tdeposits were found and the propor- ton. by employment Of diffGrenJ smelting methods was reduced to ? to 1. From that it was still further reduced. 10 meet the contingencies which arose, until at the present time equal parts of the two characters of ore are mixed to obtain the best re- suits in ore treatment. Thus it will be possible for the C. and A ocm- pany to increase it's output in equal parts of the two characters Of ore are mixed to obtain the best results in ore treatment. Thus it will be pos sible for the c. and 4. company to increase its out put in equal propor ton to the amount of ore which 1t receives from Shattuek
 Sinks Briggs Deeper |
 The Calumet and Arizona company i is preparing to sink the Briggs shaft l from it's present depth of 1900 feet l 10 1900 feet, At present ali work Tn l the property below the 1900 level is l done in raise but the main shaft is | 10 be enlarged and sunk on down to 1 the fifteenth level. This will bring the shaft itself into the lower part of the ore body that was encountered | on the 1900 level of that property ana which is sometimes termed the best ore body that has ever been encOun. tered in the district. Much of this ore body has been blocked out for stoping and is ready for taking out and shipping as occasion may require It is known to extend below the 1400l level and ore bodies of that size and character generally have such depth that company officials are convinced this one will extend to and below the 1900 level so that stoPes on the HOO and 1900 levels will enable the blocking out Of immense quantities of shipping ore.
 Work Toward Don Luis
 A few years ago some were inclined 10 laugh at the theory that the ore bodies would be found continuing to the present Junction and Briggs shafts and yet the company has dem onstrated that this is the case by de veloping some of the hest ore bodies the district has ever known al those two points and has extended it's workings beyond the entrance to the Briggs. It has found and blocked out Tn he. T yond the Briggs which is nearer to Don Luis than to the earlier c. and A. and Copper Queen workings. There are those in the district who maintain that such ore deposits will be found continuing to and beyond i Don Luis. Those who believed that such continuance as has already been demonstrated would be found ex. pressed the belief that this would be at greater depth than in the other properties but this theory has not4 been borne out by results for such ore is encountered on the 1900 level and 1t has not been necessary as they prophesied it would be to go down 1900 or 20OO feet.
 That C. and A. will continue explor- ing the country to the south where it has already obtained and is obtain ing results seems foregone eonclu- sion and SO the limits of the mineral ized zone may be expected to be further and further extended in that direction.
 New Junction Strike.
 Ore strikes at the Junction are not uncommon and this has developed into a bonanza working. In the p1'E week another strike of sulphides, of an excellent quality of ore, has been here and has been under Its size is still undeTter mined hut enough is known to make it considered of some importance
 Concrete work at this shaft has not yet actually started. II is still in the preparatory stage. Upon hih- side a quarry has been opened up to obtain material and the making o; molds and placing of them in readi-i ness for filling when the time for this comes still progresses. Az pre- viousiy stated it will take nine or ten months to complete the concrete work in this five compartment shaft.
 Beyond the foregoing and the state ment that the C. and A. properties never looked better than at this time there is no information of importance relative to the c. and A. properties
