Bisbee daily review., 1916-02-13

At Gleason. The Shannan company has resumed operations and has begun regular shipments to the smelters at Clifton after several months shut down on ac- count of the strike. The force of men at work at present is not as large as it was before the shut down, but the number is being increased all most daily.
 The Tejon company still has few men at work completing the annual assessment work for last year and this year and a small force may be continued to do some further develop ment work at the work done recently by the miners has opened up several bodies of shipping grade of capper ore.
 Paddy Brannon is doing consider able work on his properties and is taking out several cars a month that is being shipped to the smelters at Douglas.
 Mike Marchella, who has lease on the Warnekros property, is meeting with good success and is receiving excellent returns from the shipments that he has made to the smelters.
 Mike Connors is about to make a deal on a part of his claims with eastern parties who have been out and examined the ground the past few weeks. Should the deal go through he will realize nice little sum and the camp made better by the employment of a number of men.
 There are a number of other deals talked of and numerous parties of en- gineers have been going over various properties in the district. It is rumor- ed that Harry Macia, of Tombstone, las secured a lease on a part of the Costello claims and will begin work at once.
 At Courtland.
 Once more Courtland is on the up grade. Since the first of the year, the number of men engaged in and aboUc the camp, has nearly doubled, mak- ing a very noticeable change.
 With the commencement of work by the Leadville company, the camp was improved considerably, and when President Holmes of that company be gan granting leases to the different parties another improvement was noted.
 A glance at the hillside below the No. 1 shaft of the Leadville company. reveals the presence of a number Of windlasses, where there are men working on leases but recently acQuir- ed. though there are several tons of ore ready for shipment. On that par ticular hillside there are no less than 16 men busily working; across the gulch, above the No. l shaft, fouK others are working; in the Silverton shaft Of the same company, lease is being worked and two others fart working a lease near the Maid of Sunshine, where the company has 16 men employed. On the Chico, frac' ton lying between the Leadville group and the great Western property. tht lea sera are piling good ore on the dump.
 Aside from the work being done or the Leadville group, there are the many leasers that are operating on the ground of the Great Western compa- ny, as they have been doing for the last two years.
 Those securing leases on the Lead vile ground, have secured terms that are considered good, and as nearly everyone has opened up ore in the few days in which their leases have been in effect, there will soon be addi tional shipments of ore aside from the increased shipments by the ccmpan! now that the steam hoist has been in stalled.
 At Pearce.
 The Commonwealth company has been running at full capacity and the mill turning out the usual shipments of bullion. Considerable development work is being done and new ground opened up in the section in which the last big ore body was uncovered.
 At the Extension property work haf been resumed after a forced shut down on account of the lack of fuel. The work of drifting on the 230 foot level of the Rainbow shaft still con tinues and it is understood that the force of men employed is soon to be increased. It is reported that con nection is to be made with the old shaft on the south side of the hill sol as to make a good air connection and the old shaft will be used as a work ing shaft as it is in much better To cation for the handling of the ores and supplies that the present Rainbow shaft. It is expected that before many weeks this work can be accom- plished and the machinery on the old shaft again put in use.
 From present indications it will not be long before the Extension will be come a steady producer The stock holders throughout the county are greatly pleased with the showing re
