Bisbee daily review., 1912-09-08


 What may prove to be one of the most important matters ever under taken in the Warren district is now proceeding in the Sacramento work ings of the Copper Queen company. This is an examination into the metal values contained in the porphyry for nations of the district It has been in progress but a short time but al ready results have been obtained that are so encouraging that it will be con tinued systematically. The results will be watched with interest for if pres ent indications prove what is hoped 1t will be found that the resources of this district are much greater than has ever been thought and in a char acter of formation where nothing was previously expected.
 Prom the earliest explorations in the mines of Bisbee ore bodies have been found between lime and porphy ". To such extent has this been the case that it has become the rule to look for and only expect to find ore deposits between such contacts. Recently, however the Copper queen company began to examine into and explore the porphyry deposits in or der to ascertain what if any copper contents were carried. It has been found that there are copper values in the porphyry and early as it is in this line of development progress enough has been made to warrant continuance of this line of work aud to indicate that the results that will he obtained fro nit will prove of far reaching importance to the district and to the copper industry.
 As there is much porphyry country in the vicinity of the Saramento shaft and it's workings this point was sc lected to start on exploration out lined. From here it will be continued, it is said, by the Copper Queen com pany which is the pioneer in porphyry development. Meantime the C. & A, while doing nothing for itself in this line. is watching the results obtained by it's neighbor with keen interest and is ready to learn from the re- suits of the discoveries that may be made.
 It is learned that some important announcements are to be expected in the near future of plans that are formulating with the Copper Queen company. These plans have not yet been completed fully enough for ofti- cial announcements to be made but it is known that they are contem- plated and will prove of importance. The same is true of the Calumet and Arizona company and within the pres ent month several announcements or interest are to be anticipated.
 RenoFt fs Denied.
 In the last issue of Iron Ore a published article stated that within a few days a party Of skilled miners, thirty in number would leave lshpe- ming for Bisbee. The article stated that these men had formerly been employed by Captain HodgsOn, we're all high grade men and would be valuable to the organization which they were to serve. This article did not state that the men had been sent for by Captain Hodgson, but was open to that insinuation. That he has sent for men from the north and uromised them positions here, Cap tain Hodgson denies. He states that such a course would look as if it were impossible to obtain the char acter of men required here or that
  ployes here. both of which surEises are directly contrery 70 the real facts. He finds the men here all that can be desired and has found them ready and glad to cooperate with him 1T, all ways. a valuable and an efficient aid to him ever since his arrival and his relations with them have been and are of the pleasantest nature
 On the other hand Captain Hodg- son says that if good, high grade and efficient men chose to come here or their own volition seeking employ ment and there is employment for them. it win be given to them, but not to the displacement of competent employees. Just at present it IS Ike ly that such men would be found use fuI during the present shortage of competent underground men by all three companies.
 WiIi Study Mining Methods.
 The Copper Queen company is em' ploying a new system to increase the efficiency Of employees by giving them .the sopportuBity to study mining and imethods employed elsewhere whiel can often be introduced with advant age here. Two of such employees lieii last week for the north, the expenses of their trip being borne by thefeon pany. They will visit the mines oi the north and study and observe while there and return better equip ped with scientific and practical min ing knowledge as a result of theil
