Mohave County miner., 1915-03-20
New COrnelia to be
 Made Great Producer.

 change from the reiteration of boastful and misleading fancies unwisely pro- claimed in some quarters, in conveying tidings throughout the Warren District during the past week that the mining industry here is rejuyenating. Such times as made the Bisbee camp of old famous for prosperity are not here yet. Their return within period which can be fixed definitely is problematical. But here is ample proof that solid foundation is being laid each day for bumper conditions when circumstances of war and restored market make ca pacity work possible.
 Employees of the Copper Queen were proud possessors yesterday of pay checks made out on basis which was only slightly less than the maximum scale. The same was true of Calumet & Arizona employees who were paved on Friday. Both companies were able during the past month to put more men to work and the prospects of adding still further to the forces during the month to come are bright. Miners were paid at the rate of 3.85$ day and other wage scales were raised in pro portion. Consequently, not only was more money paid out and sent forth in- to circulation in business channels, but an increased number of men received the better wages. The result was noticeable spread of cheerfulness.
 Mill tests on the Copper Queens Sacramento Hill property have been completed and churn drilling discon- tinued there although it will be kept up in the neighborhood. The company has finished its gravity system for the transfer of waste from the Czar shaft and yesterday started the system in regular use. Development work is pro- gressing with the result that new ore bodies are being uncovered in such volume as was conservatively expected.
 Mining men who are leaders in the industry in Arizona as we'll as Michigan were visitors in Bisbee during the week. Among the number were George E. Tenner, Chester A. Congdon, Dr. Rick etts and George Congdon. MT. Cong don and General Manager John Green way, of the c. & A., left for Ajo late in the week to inspect the New Cor nelia properties while Mr. Tenner and James s. Douglas went to Jerome to visit the United Verde Extension prop erty. There was consider able activity in both New Cornelia and Verde Extension stock in the local mar ket last week, the former selling as high as IA and the latter at 8.
 Much local interest is manifest in the New Cornela property of which the c. and A. owns more than 80 per cent of the stock. In fact this proposition is one of the features which contribute to the interesting status of c. and A. Their Bisbee properties are showing greater reserves of ore than ever there being gain in ore reserves the first of the year as compared with simi- lar date in 1914 of more than 30 per cent. This result has been attained in the face of very large output of ore for last year, when there were more than 600, 900 tons produced. This gives pretty fair idea of the ore volume from the company's shafts.
 There has recently been completed drill boring made from the 18OO-foot level at the Junction mine. This bor- ing was made at point southeast of the 1SO0-foot station and it passed through 35 feet of sulphide ore of ex- cellent grade. This is the first hole the company has drilled in the Junction shaft below the 1500-foot level, and the finding of ore at this depth is of the greatest importance in that it proves copper of commercial grade holds to that distance below surface and sets to rout the opinions of many that copper would not be encountered at such low level in this camp. It proves that Calumet and Arizona may expect rich copper ores below a depth of 1900 feet and that it has wonderful ore holding area in this portion of the camp where
