Special 10 The Review

TOMBSTONE, Nov. 2O.-When the Phelps Dodge people took over the United States, through the medium of the bankruptcy court. the proper ties for years held by the Tombstone Consolidated Mines Company. the peo- pie of Tombstone sat up and took not ice, as did the people all over the state and also in many parts of the United States; for right then did the remark become common, Well if there is anything there the Phelps Dodge people will get it out and prove the district"
 About 16 months ago the Phelps Dodge interests took over the proper ties and placed Dr. Emil Grebe in charge with the title of Superinten- dent and 1t is saying but little when it is said that pr Grebe has made a wonderful showing so far as the casu- al observer can determine without having detailed information furnished from the office. However, the follow ing list of accomplishments can be re- ported for the last ten months. Every shaft in the district has been retim- bered and almost every mine has been cleared of waste Development work has gone on in nearly every claim of the inside holdings Of the Bunker Hill Mining Company. which is the name of the new corporation A modern and most complete assay office build ing has been built of brick. cement and stuccO work New buildings have been built at the various shafts and others have been rebuilt Tramwavs have been built from the west side 10 handle the ores from various mines and the railroad tracks have all been rebuilt Co accommodate the handling of ] ore and mining materials and supplies. ! Wagon roads have been built for the use of ore teams and gasoline trucks. | The equipment of the old shaft known as the Boom Shaft, has been rebuilt
 and rearranged so that the Boom I shaft is now the central power plant and houses the largest or one of the | largest compressors in the southwest and from here air is sent all ocer the district to operate the various hoists in the many shafts in the company holdings. Electricity is furnished from this plant for the various shafts. 1 mines, buildings and the mill The ! equipment at the Boom shaft is now, since its reconstruction able to deliv. l CT it's maximum power. something not done in years past
 A hospital with Dr. Randolph in ] charge, has been built and is fully cap.
 able of taking care of the present a.
 mount of treatment required of it. The old mill which was more or less of a failure in the past has been rebuilt | and made into a test mill which is e. | quipped with many kinds of machin cry and devices used for the treat
 ment Of ores and of which these prop
 critics furnish many kinds among which are lead, zine. copper. silver gold and in lesser quantities other
 metals are found Regular shipments of bullion are being made every ten days. There are stamps, tables and
 the most modern tubular machinery
 The cyanide process is used as well as
 of Notation and it is said that when
 the ore has gon down the system oi
 tests that very little of value finds its
 way 10 the tailing beds
 Air is now used in agtating the
 tanks at the mill and for an purposes
 in the following shafts. Silver Thread
 Boom, Tranquility, West Side, Tribute Toughnut, Lucky Cuss and Oregon
 while steam is used at the Rattle
 Snake, Bunker Hill Emerald, Promp
 ter and Silver Plume. Shipments oI
 manganese are now being made tC Chicago. Several hundred thousand
 dollars have been expended in pros
 pecting and testing work up to date
 and it is confidently believed as vel
 as wished that the property will turn
 out under the management of eht
 Phelps Dodge people to be of muct
 value in bringing Tombstone back SC
 that its many old timer fsiends vii
 point to her and say, "She had hel ups and downs but up or down she
 was dog-gone good town and may
 she ever hold her own in the mining production of the southwest"
