Bisbee daily review., 1914-06-09


 ahead in this respect It is now begin ming Co get results from Che new in stallauons of equipment, which are not yet wholly concluded. and which have cost above half a million dollars The mines are looking fine and in some of the new territory where they are operating they are getungs results which occasion enthusiasm even from ! ono familiar with Bisbee underground operations
 At Ray. Walsh found the Ray Con soHdated working mll capacity with ian sections of it's immense concen- trator the largest single plant Of the kind in Che state. going full and han. |dling aroune 5000 tons the day The smelter at Hayden is likewise run hing full and making excellent per ! formance. It is expected at Ray that ! the fan win see a material increase ! in copper output Mines and reduc- ton plants are ready to take on larger ! |caU for services. The camp is main taining its reputation for the delive'y of high-class results in an depart |ments. Handling of the output of the mines is with the maximum of efr Ielcy and occasions admiration for l ihe completeness Of mechanical equip. ment as well as of the mining ing g'r- uity displayed
 The Miami Copper Co. at Miami is working full shifts and preparing for ] increase in output this fall when it is ! IeXpeCted that its concentrations will ] be raised to provide copper output of around three and a quarter million pounds rer month. Lately they have found considerable new ore on this property through new prospecting and are continuing to add to the total of their aavilable supply The latter is now figured above 10000 900 tons Of commercial ore. which is in excess or the tonnage estimated Co be present when the company first commenced mining and concentration operations. 1 They then figured around 1SO0O,0Q0 tons. Ore extraction and development have been steady ever since. with re- suit that iustea dof decreasing ore supply the company has made gain. In territory now being prospected there is belief on the part of not 9 few Miami miners that they will add other big branches of ore to the pres ent proven holdings before the end Of Che year.
 In the Superior district Wash found the C. G a. and the Gum Thompson interests operating good forces on de yel0Dment. and the district very lively
 The C. N A. work has not yet progress sed sufficiently far To give any sort
 of accurate line on the property. but it looks promising. The Gunn-Thomp-
 son interests have a great little copper
 mine n the Magma. from which they
 are shipping ore taken out Of the way
 of development The mine is a very rich one. it's copper contents running
 high and being attended by exception .al values in gold and silver Further
 out they are opening another property
 which gives every promise Of proving
 a high grade producer While at Su- .perIor. Walsh took occasion to run
 over to the old Silver King famous
 in Arizona's silver producing days.
 The property has lately been picked
 up by leasers and is yielding fair re-
 turns to these There is belief that whenever large capital is interested
 in this property and depth enabled, it
 win come back as a very valuable
 property
 At Clifton and Morenci Walsh
 found much going on and everybody
 optimistic as to the future. Clifton D has made wonderful improvement iu . the last year and is rapidly buldine | into big and modern city, an out come which Walsh attributes in nc small part to the presence there oi | am energetic former Bisboe newspaper | man. w. B Kelly, who has given Che ! Clifton -Morenci country a splendid newspaper in the Copper Bra, the col ! lumns of which teem each week witl | news of kind calculated to movs | things forward The Arizona Copper ! Co. melter is making a fine record

 being material gain made in this re ! gpect through the reduction of cost. ! of transportation brought abou I.mrough ! the extensive improvement ! made in connections with the mines |. All of this work is not yet completed | but enough of it is in service to dem

 "Big and bright as is the outlool
 on Che outside" declared Mr. Walsl l in concluding his interview. "I wan
