C. & A. Shaft

The Calumet X Arizona Mining company of Bisbee has just com
 pleted replacing the timbers of its junction shaft with concrete. The new shaft. 2 feet inches long by |6 feet wide, has been concreted to the surface from a point 1885 feet below. This was accomplished :n is months and 24 days. The june ton shaft is located in the heart or the Bisbee or Warren district. and being the deepest. is used as d cen tral pumping shaft for all the mines. 4 fire in this shaft. neccssitating stopping the pumps, would flood the lower levels of the deeper mines in T short time. The primary object in Concreting was To eliminate this risk.
 and incidentally provide thoroughly upt date hoistinG shaft. Concret- = ing was started 25 feet below the 1J1O level and was carried up in j- foot sections. Except at the stations
 standard sets of forms, which could
 easily be set up and taken apart were used The materials used for the concrete were stored in over head bins. from which they could
 easily be fed to the concrete mixer After mixture in the proportion of
 enc part cement, three parts sanl
 and five parts rock, the concrete
 was dropped through an iron pipe i to that part of the shaft where il was to be placed. Steel reinforce

6isbee Resources-Many Years
 Work

A local mining engineer has fig ured out that south of the main business section of Bisbee ore bod ies have been developed on no less than 11.O00 feet of mining claims, and it is estimated that not less than fifty years of active work is assured underground. Further. there is not the slightest doubt that the ore bodies continue southWard, and some persons express the belief that the deposits at Cananea, fifty miles away, are on the same ore strikes as that of Bisbee.
 While ore of value has been dis covered to the northward, the real mineralized zone of the district starts on the hillside above the city. where er-carbonate ores even now are being extracted after more than twenty years of exploration. Below these are the original open workings of the Copper Queen, and then at the depth of only a few hundred feet. in the old Czar shaft. start the sulphides that have given the district such wonderful riches. These sulphides go deeper, step by step, in masses, rather than in veins, until they are being worked at more than 1900 feet of depth down in the Warren section
 It is not improbable that mining operations in Bishee before many years will reach even the depths

Theory of the Suns Heat

The discoverev of the supplies of energy which radium possesses and can give out, suggest a possible ex- Ilanation of the origin of the suns heat which has been regarded as very mysterious. If the sun con- tained 2l9 parts of radum in @ million. the present output of solar energy would be accounted for, and this is possible. as the sun would only have to be q little richer than tine best pitchblende found. Another fact which strengthens this theory is that the suns energy consists of heliunl, product made by the al iteration of radium. Against this theory we find that an electroscope will hold it's charge just as long in a deep mine as it will where the suns rays act directly on it. NJ trace of radio activity has yet been traced to the sun or it's rays James F.. Mccarthy. chief chemist. Colorado American Radium company.
