Bisbee daily review., 1920-03-28

Cornella copper COmpduy Has JuoI been issued for the year ending De cember 31, 1919 The report of John C. Greenway, general manager, to Charles Briggs, president, is in part as follows:
 General
 Due to the unsettled conditions which followed he signing of the Ar mistiCC, Co, .'sI ons Vel. cut to 60 per Ceat M ao,mal e:,ll! in February. The Olive and Cole mines were shut down and work was concentrated at the Junction and Briggs. Development was cut to an even greater degree than pro- duction. With the exception of a slight increase in September and Oc- tober, the retrenchment continued throughout the year.
 Through concentration of work and through ~N.rcising all possible econo- my ih opel ation, the cost of produc- tiou was aterially lower than n 1918.
 Due to the small amount of develop ment work, the ore reserves showed a decrease during the year.
 The one mired during 1919 was higher in grade than it has been for the four previous years.
 The average daily wage paid at the mines was s5.52 as compared with S5.37 in 1918. This is an advance of 47.2 per cent in wages over 1914. In spite of high wages the labor supply I-e, hx.. tod '. difficulty that We were able to get enough men to make the increase m Sertember and October previously re- ferred to.
 When conditions made it necessary to cut production again in November. the decrease in the force at the mines was made gradually. through the nor nal quitting of the men, and no men were arbitrarily laid off.
 Mining
 The total amount of development work done in 1919 was 57,090.5 feet, as compared with 99 ,3550 feet in 191S OLIVER MINE-The mine was clos ed down February 5, 1919. All devei- ,opment work done at this mine was in Iconhection with known streaks of ore. lMost of the ore was mined from the Senator clolm.
 COLE MINE-This mine was closed down February 12. 1919. Developments near the Calumet &. Arizona side lines south and west of the Cole mine by lessees on the Copper Queen property, and by the Wolverine and Arizona Mining company, indicate : the probability Of finding good new ore bodies in this part of the Calumet & Arizona ground.
 JUNCTION MINE-The work at this shaft wa largely concentrated on mining ore. On account of curtail- ment, there was not a great deal of development in new areas and most of the work done was in connection with orc extracted and development of known ore areas.
 On the 1600-foot level, we drifted about 30e feet along the Calumet & Ari6oDa,Geln side line on the Noun tain Maid claim. A small oxide ore body was found and is now being mined up to the Denn workings.
 On the 1S00-foot level, No. S cross cut was extended 732 feet towards the Denn during the year and still has 1900 feet to go to get under the orc which has been developed in the Denr on its 1700 level.
 On the 1600 level in cross-Cut No. 45 new work was done east across the Primrose claim into the Comet claim This is all good looking ground anc gives promise of ore on this level ol at greater depth.
 The ore body north of the shaft Ina: been more thoroughly developed or the 1900 and 1700 levels, and has prov ed to be the most valuable ore body il the property.
 While no new ore areas were doyel oped during the year in the Junction extensions Of known orc bodies deyel Oped tonnage about equal to tha mined. and there was no appreciabl, loss in ore reserves here.
 BRIGGS MlNE-The deveiopmen
 In the Tin Town country in tn work at this shaft, as at the Junction was almost entirely in connection with known ore areas.
 north end of the ''16 to I claim fla bed of sulphide and oxide ore. whicl was discovered two or three years ago has proved to be very much more ca tensive than was expected.
 In the south end of the Bengal clair layer of high grade sulphide orc wa developed in connection with q lars pyritc body. This is new ore in previously unexpiorcd part of th mine
 CAMPBELL SHAFT--Durins tn year the Csmubeil shaft was raise 62O feot. At the same tlme the shai was sunk from the surface to dept of ,535 feet 10 connect with the rais, A good connection was made on Nn' Years Eve,
