holdings, are the owners OF the Cop
per Queen group of mines at Bisbee.
1t is said that the Bisbee Copper
! Queen mines give greater output
/ OF ore through a single delivery shaft
called the Sacramento shaft. than
/ any other copper mines in the world.
These mines have more miles of I'M
foreground workings than any other
! IN Arizona, and nearly as much as
any big mines in the world, their
total length ching between 400 and
! 500 miles, which mileage is daily in
| creaslng, and amounts to about 20
miles'of workings per annum. These
mines have produced more than one
billion pounds of copper within SO
years and have paid over $4,000. 600
in dividends, During this time they
have paid out in wages something
like s15O,0o0,6OO. The Copper Queen
property originally consisted of one
and a fractional claim of 90 acres.
Now it consists of 1875 acres of min
eral ground.
The Copper Queen Mining company
in normal times employs about 5000
men, its monthly payroll being over
100000, or six million dollars a year.
The company also disburses to 1000
| operatives of the smelter at Douglas
at least $4,000 per month. 1t dis
tributes to railroad employees at
Douglas $4,000 per month.
Sixty steel automatic dunn cars of
! 5O-tons capacity each, are employed
over the Ell Paso and Southwestern
railroad in handling its ore.
An interesting feature in connection
with the Copper Queen is that at
present operations are being con-
Quoted through large areas of old
slopes and ore which was regarded
as waste in former years can now
be mined at profit. A large amount
of this work is being done in the
Car and HoIbrook divisions. 1t may
, also be stated that the mile during
! 1913 produced S67,4S1 tons of ore,
yielding 97,1S1,725 lbs. of copper. H.
1913 tons of lead ore has produced
5.1Ol,62S pounds of lead About 104,-
900 feet of development work was
done for the year. The amount of
timber used for the year was 49,
