Mi1i,1Q NelUs Of Warren District
DENN MINE STRIKES LARGE
 ORE BODY

The enn mine reports a big strike on the 1700'foot level said to be one of the biggest producers in the Bis bee Warren District.
 The Shattuck-Arizona Mining Co., took over the Denn in 1906 and since that date has spent considerably over $4,000,000 in it's development and in prospecting it's possibilities. With the water proposition to contend with this mine has been a discouraging deal until the recent strike was made when their hopes were revived and it looks now as though the property would be one of the big producers in this district.
 The water is still big problem although it is being handled success fully at present. Prospecting is going on at the 1700 foot level, in order to go any deeper it will be necessary to install larger pumps as the water has covered the prospecting work done on the 1900 foot leyel s
 The ore at the 1700 foot. level runs from toe 40 per cent copper with some gold and silver. The ore is mostly sulphides and oxides with some culprite deposit of considerable size. While the size of the new ore body has not been determined there is every indication of an immediate output of two to three thousand tons of high grade ore. eYelopment work is being pushed to determine the size of the new body and what there is on the 1900 foot level

MEXICO 'SOIL ALT
 |S CONF FISCATORY
THE GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO GRANT PERMITS FOR COM
 PANIES TO DRILL

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Mex ican government has committed an overt act of confiscation in prevent ing American oil we'll drillers to work on lands owned by American individ- uals or companies by sending soldiers into the fields and driving away the workmen, state department officials said today.
 Complaint was made to the Mexican government on April of this year, it was learned, against the refusal of the government to grant permits to the oil companies to drill. No. an- swer was received until after the Juarez incident, it was said, and then President CarranZa announced no per mits, provisional or otherwise, would be granted until the companies had complied with the law.
 Compliance with the laws, it was said by state department officials, would constitute recognition by the companies that the Mexican govern ment owned the oil lands.

PANHANDLE OF TEXAS IS NEXT
 B|G O|L FIELD.

FIT WORTH, Tex, July 13.-Ex tensive development of the Panhandle district of Texas by companies ex ploring for oil has been undertaken
 The significance of these develop ments is very great as the territory lies on lines of easy transportation through the great middlewest, south east and inter-mountain districts of the country.
 Reports issued by a number of geologists who have carefully sur veyed this territory give rise to hopes that this district will rival the now famous Ranger and Burkburnett fields in production of oil. Early test wells put down in the Panhandle have good showing of oil from 8 to 5 sands at relatively shallow depths.
 One of these wells, however, was carried down to the level of from 3200 to 42OO feet, where the geologists say the pay sand lies.
 The latest and most forceful en- terprise which has been launched in this field is that of the Giant Oil Go. Ft Worth, Texas. This company, while launched open and above board as a wildcat with the full understand, ing of it's investors that is was gamble and all they put in it was lost if they failed to get oil, never theless, has the essential characteris- tics of a real development company.
 It has taken over $500 acres through the middle of the Panhandle and will make deep test of these areas.
 The Home Peoples Oil Go. is drill ign near Deep Lake and their well is logging in and leading geologists and oil men to believe that they will get a real oil well Not far distant from this location the Leila Lake De velopment Co. is drilling two wells between Hedley and Leila Lake. Both of these will be deep tests. South of the Red River the Childress Oil & Development Go. is drilling the Wild Ike, while the Carey Develop ment Co. of which w E. Carey is head is drilling between Esteline and ChildTess.
 Considerable drilling activity is evident southwest of Amarillo about II miles Deep tests are also going down near Goodnight, north of Clar- endon, and near Claude, the county seat of Armstrong county

MIN|NG COURSE ID RUN THRU
 SUM. MONTHS

The Copper Queen has decided to keep it's mining course open during the summer months, on account Of tho interest that is being taken in the work by their employees. So much time was lost during the in fluenza epidemic. that the course vas placed considerably behind the sched- ule.
 The mining course as given for the Copper Queen employees is one of the most distinctive educational ad- vantages ever given to employees of the metal mining industry, the course being open to all employees, and of fering them a definite road to promo, tion that can be taken irrespective of previous education.
 The course consists of forty-four lessons. each given by specialist in the subject, each lecture printed and distributed free of charge. The sub jeCt matter covers large range. be- ing complete semitechnical course
Bisbee daily review., 1919-07-13

in mining, designed particularly to fit miners to be shift bosses and foremen.
 The course is so arranged that a man may start any time, and the steadily increasing attendance shows that advantage is being taken of this factor, and that the course advertises itself.
 One of the most important parts Of the course is that part devoted to instruction in handling men, for it is realized that the shift boss, to his men, is the interpreter of the com pany policies. and it is essential that he be a correct interpreter.
 The Warren District Practical Min ing Course. as it is called, has been very successful so far, even though it has not completed its first year. The ambition of the Copper Queen employees is shown by the fact that the average attendance has been over two hundred, all men who desire to better their working conditions. In this day of vocational training, a practical mining course, given by practical miners, to men who are able 10 earn full days pay stands our prominently.

MIAMI COPPER
 PRODUCTION LOW

June Production Is Lowest Since No
 Vember-Six Months Output lndi-
 cates 56,0o0,00o Pounds in Current
 Year-ComPany Producing at Nor
 nal.
 Miami's production in June amount ed to 4,3S5S65 pounds of copper. a decrease of 6O3.715 pounds as com pared with May output and aproxi- mately 306,000 pounds less than was reported in June last year. Although the June showing is the lowest since last November. the decrease in pro- duction is not a result of the copper situation. because Miami has been and is one of the few producers able to make money, even with the copper market lower than the 19 cents pre- vailing today.
 Tn the first half of the current year Miami has produced 2S.152,000 pounds of copper, an average of 4,692,000 pounds per month. In the cores bonding period of 1918 output amount, ed to 29, 093.000 pounds a decrease in the current year of only 941 ,000 pounds. The first six months show ing indicates a total in the current year of 56,304.0OO pounds. as against 5S,407, 900 pounds actually shown in the full twelve months of 1918. As evident from the foregoing. there is no curtailment in effect at the Miami properties.
 Miami's low production cost was the primary factor for the decision of the management to continue opera tions at normal. Last year the copper cost was 14.S33 cents per pound, and in 1917 it was 12.511 cents. With copper above 19 cents, Miami is prob ably showing a profit of four cents pound, as it is estimated that in- stead of higher production cost than in 1918, the figure has actually been lowered in the current year.
 Because of the factt hat Miami has pulled through the depression of a demoralized copper situation without any material reduction in output there is every reason for believing that with the copper outlook improving each week Miami will exceed the rec ord production of las year. To equal the 1918 total an average of slightly over 5.O00,OOO pounds must be shown in each of the next six months The average in 1918 was B. 757 900 pounds. monthly.
