LOngieIIow Copper Works.

Messrs. Leopold Lesinsky, who is on his way to London, and Louis Smad beck, superintendent of the LongfellOw Copper Mining Company's works Gin Ariznna,) arrived from Clifton Wed nesday and lett for Las Cruces the fol lowing day.
 These gentlemen have imparted to Us many interesting facts in regard tu the L.pgfellOw mine and the manner of handling the ore There are now employed by that company three hun dred men in the various industries per IainIng to their mining operations, all of whom are provIsIoned there and paid at rhe end of eack week.
 The furnace is the most complete and durable of any yet devised for the >melting of copper, and i~ novelty in its way, having copper sides, back and front which come directly Tn contact wish the molten copper, Slag and other impregnatiOnS of the metal and, strange 10 say, show no effect Of the intense heat to which they are subjected. The plan of this furnace was not suggested by any abslruse theory or from any eX- pcctation that it would wolk, but a copper plate, which was living round loose" furnished the Occa>innand was ordered by Mir H. LesiR>kv, in a mo meni of irritation. To be put in aS back ing in an old style furnace brcaue everything else that had been devised had failed, and 10 this slight ebulliIiOn of ire we are indebted for this mOsi ac- ceplable plan of a copper smelling furnace. The capacity "f the furnace now in operation Is fifteen tons per day.
 This company has recently intro duced another improvement. They now relieve thelr copper pigs of slag before the copper cOngcalS and before it is run into mOuldS. ThIS IS done hy running the copper directly from the furnace int metal pni> lined with clay land previously heaied) where the m 'l- te1 mass iS all wed ru remain snttici emily long for The Slag ln -riSe lo the surface, which i- then skinned off and the copper run into mOuidS made If thin copper We have seen some of lhe copper thus relieved of eXtrane 'uS matter whica looked bright and seem ingly pure and have been told that i ls 95 per cent. fine.
 Anplhpr improvement Is aboui being intfouuced there in ecOnpmiZrng fuel 5v introducing hydrogen gas a~ an ad iunct tp wood and charcoal. MT Ne vile who is constructing reverhera- tory furnace f,r il> introduction. claims thlt it will result in saving of al least twcny five per cent. in fuel.
 The works arr run ny water power. the cheapest power known, whlch k abundan ly supplied from the San Francisco liver.
 The company have taken another step towards ec0nrmiZing by irt'oduc- ing Chinese chrap labor. Neg"IIa lions have been entered into by tbr company win San Francisco i'm for one hundred and tif'y men from the Flowery Kingdom, who are soon eX- pected to arrive at lhe Company's works.-Silver City Herald.

 The Idaho brought down a quartz mill for the Black War for mine. It comprises some S40 packages, weigh ing nearly l4S.000 pnunds-74 tons. The steamer freight alone amounts to $4300 coin.
 We are glad 10 learn that arrange mcnts have been made for giving the children picnic on May-day. Last year they enjoyed 1t immensely, as did the grown people who accompanied them. The C. $. N.

The Southern Pacific company Is entitled tn much credit for .heir liberalily in furnishing water and forage tc teams going out from here. Barrels of water are scat tered all along the road between the river and the terminus, free 10 ir'lv- elcrS. and forage k furnished at the terminus for their animals at prime cost.
 Wm. p Miller came in this week from Castle D me and g'ves gOoi ac counts of tha' district Over 100 tons of ore are at lhe landing for shipment by next boat, and over 100 are al the mines. ahead of the teams. Bnrland ami Johnson are q ing very well with their claims. Gun'her is taking "u considerable ore from the Flora Tenn ple. Kincaid is clearing over d ton a day from lhe old Nagle mine and Bet tis is getting out ore from the "Arkan- saw" much faster than his team can haul it to the river. MIller'S recent experience in Globe district has spoiled him; he handled SD much rich silver ore over there, that lead ore has become too common for him. He has moved his machinery away from Castle Dome and il now lies here on the bank, await ing importation 10 Pinal county: Miller ha, di>bursed several hundred tbousaud dollars at Castle Dome during the past seven years ana has d'he much in develop the district. we are sorry to see him leaving 1t, Globe may be rich. but old Castle Dome Is mighty reliable.
