Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1922-04-30


The Warren Mining District has
been producing copper for 40 years.
Dividing this time into 10-year peri
DDS, starting with 1881 and including
1921. we find that in the first decade
95,0O0,000 pounds of copper were pro-
duced; in the second decade 250,O00-
900 pounds were produced; in the
third decade 1,000,O00,000 and in the
lastlast decade 1,104,000,000 pounds.
The copper produced in the first
decade was mined from 81 acres of
ground, or little over three mining
ijclaims. During the second decade
the ore area was increased by lao
acres In other words, after 20 years
of mining, all the ore in this district
was produced from 20S acres, equiva-
lent to 10 and one-half mining claims
During the third decade, the produc-
tive area of this district was increas-
ed by 672 acres, or about IS claims.
In the last decade, $50 acres of ore
producing ground was added to the
rroductiveness of the district. The
productive area today is 1910 acres,
equivalent to 62 full-sized mining
claims.
Not including the holdings of the
operating companies there are in this
district 500 patented mining claims
and 400 unpatented claims, OF a total
of about $4,000 acres of located
ground.
Are all of these 1000 outside claims
valueless?
Are there opportunities to develop
new ore and new mines in this dis
trict?
Are there surface showings and in
dications of naturalization that are.
sufficiently good TO warrant the de-
velopment of some of these outside
claims?
The Mining Committee is prepar-
ing report on the possibilities of
the Expansion of the Productive Area
of this district. The report will in
clude a brief history of the district,
a simple description of the geology
of the district, description Of the
operating companies, along with
maps, tables, charts and curves show
ing production, dividends and data of
like character.
The object and purpose of such
a report is to show that the limits OF
the productive area OF this district
have not been reached The commit
tee believes that there is room for
conservative expansion. They believe
that well advised development work
win make some of these 1000 claims
productive Considerable capital will
be needed to develop new ground and
in order to interest capital the posi-
bilities Of the district must be adver-
tised.

you appropriate $350.00 for the publ
cation of their report They will I'M
dertake to raise by subscription what
ever money is needed above the
amount you authorize.
A conservative distribution of this
report should be undertaken with the
idea of trying to get people into this
district who will explore and devel-
OPP some of these one thousand
claims
In brief the above is an outline of
the plans of the committee on mining
If these plans meet with your approx
al and support the mining committee
will finish and publish its report on
the possibilities of the Expansion of
the Warren Mining District
