Bisbee daily review., 1918-06-09

six cars of high grade coppergold ore from the 300 foot level of the Critic during May and are rapidly getting in shape to make a much larger produc- tion as soon as the old workings are cleaned out. chutes put in, etc. Some of this ore is running over $40 gold per ton in addition to the copper val ues. Frank Lucas and Wm. Ratoh have just shipped a car from their lease on the east end of the Critic claim.
 The Cuprite Investment Co. is going right ahead with the development Of the Little Giant Extension property, joining the Little Giant on the south. This property was formerly known as the Wilkinson property and covers three thousand. feet in length of the main Little Giant vein. Considerable high grade cOpper-gold ore has already been shipped from shallow tunnels on the property, averaging about b e copper and from S25 to $60 gold per ton: six cars having been shipped from one shallow grass root tunnel. A Fairbanks-MOrseh hoist has just been installed at the main shaft which is now down 65 feet and contract has just been let to Wilson and Alexander to sink 100 feet and start drifting along the vein under the hill and old tunnel workings. The bottom of the shaft now shows over three feet of ore averaging over S30 ton in gold. with the copper values commencing to come in stronger every shift. By many of the old timers this property is con sidered to be the best in the district, Josephi and Wilkinson having shipped ore running as high as s1OO ton in gold during the days before the rail road was built when copper ores could not be shipped on account of the dis tance from transportation.
 Olester and Fugatt have just shipp- ed one car of ore from their lease on the west end of the Eullard and are now taking out car from the 125 foot level of the shaft A six horse power hoist has just been installed and the boys expect to crosscut to the vein from the bottom of the shaft very soon now. Considerable high grade ore has already been shipped from the tunnel level just above the shaft. Wal colt and Kinnsar have recently shipp- ed several cars from their lease on the east end of the Bullard.
 Mrs. F.. M. Cooper has just let con- tract for 100 feet of work on her lease on the American Flag claim, joining the west end of the Little Giant and is getting out some good ore. The Cob nTnrLln CT two or three men on their lease on a part of the Little Giant ground, about five hundred feet west of the Little Giant shaft, and are getting out some good glance ore.
 Wilcox and WintZ are taking out high grade ore on their War Baby claim. joining the Black Giant proper ty and expect to make a shipment soon. Wilcox is one of the best pros pectCrs in the district and opened up one of the best surface showings in the district on the ground that had been walked over by many others. The green dump at the War Baby is now one of the features of the land scape in that vicinity and cannot be overlooked by anyone within mile of it.
 It is rumored that one of the large copper companies. is about to take oy- CT the Robinson, or Desert group, join ing the Little Giant Extension and Bull lard properties. Considerable work has already been done on this proper ty and it has been passed upon favor ably by some of the best engineers in the state.
 The district is more active at this time than at any time in its history and a great deal of new work is being started, both by old owners and new companies.
