Bisbee daily review., 1914-11-22

ically and results are going to be | shown The management ifs saying
 little preferring to let the results
 talk, which they will as soon as the
 copper industry is again in its nor.
 nal channel Coppermnes is more
 valuabl etoday than at any past time
 in its history because it has made
 good on ore development that for
 merly was predicted Now it has been | proved.
 Nevada Consolidated. about which ] Coppermines holds important mineral | bearing lands, has cut several valua.
 ble ore deposits on Coppermines ter ritory in it's extension of railway
 tracks in making way to get its ores out of it's mines and to it's smelters | CopDermines while it is idle like , many other copper properties, has
 very large ore reserves that are to be mined and will give a profit when | copper again gets attention as it soon will. The world must have the met al. and at the conclusion of the un- fortunate European wars there will certainly be a big demand for it as we'll as for steel.
 NEVADA CONSOLIDATED This property, located in the Ely. Nevada camp, is in operation It is securing its ores from large open pits with steam shovels, and in several places has worked right up to Copper mines ground In the Liberty pit the greatest activity of the company is being shown. The largest blast ever made in this pit was set off recently when 5S,050 pounds of powder were discharged at once. The cost of this blast was estimated at $10,00 and it loosened about 100000 yards of ore. A government moving picture expert. C. H. Brown, secured a picture of the explosion. Copies are to be given the mining company for its personal. use. Copies cannot be purchased or used in commercial way. but will be permitted for the pleasures of the Ely people in their theatres.
 The Liberty pit is a very large one and has been extending in area for several years. The company made a very good showing in it's operations for last year. reducing it's cost con. siderably over the previous year. Ely, is a good camp and there is a lot of territory in 1t that is yet to be ex- plored. There are limestones con- tigous to the porphyry, in which lat ter rock the copper has thus far been found, that are to be searched for cop per. It is thought by prominent ex. perts that these limestones should hold copper just as the limestones in the Bisbee, Arizona, camp do In Bisbee the copper is nearly all found in the limestones near the porphyry.
 The Veteran mine of the Nevada Consolidated company is idle. having recently shut down in the process of. retrenchment his butts right against one end of the Giroux portion of the Coppermines group of claims and is the highest ground the Nevada Con solidated company has in the Ely camp. In the past year prominent ad- | ditions of ore have been made. Itl will be the same with Coppermines . when 1t gets fairly into it's mining work. Ore will be found in the de. velopment of underground operations |. Ely is an excellent camp that is cer. tain to grow much more important as a producer than now. Today the Ne vada Consolidated is the only opera tor of any account In time Copper. mines will add greatly to the ore ton mage now credited to that camp.
 There are the deep-seated, high-g rade ores of the old Giroux property to be developed which will be done as soon as the large low grade areas have been set to running smoothly ! and the company has accumulated ! money for the continuing of the big Giroux shaft
 IN BUTTE, MONTANA |
 This famous copper camp is work. ing less than half force. It has been hindered by dissentions in the ranks of labor as well as by common indus. trlal HIS The labor uniOns squeezed l tight by several leaders who were waxing fat and growing hungrier con stantly finally rebeled. Mover was pronounced against and his methods denounced. An opposition union was formed, and there was a general encounter between the |, two clements The troops were fin ally called to quell the disturbances, and now that tho trouble is over. Butte is an open camp and all unde. sirable disturbers are being ordered to move out or to cease their prac- tices. Butte was long labor ridden 4 aud the miners were taxed outhag. eously That they stood it for 60 many years is surprising. but the
