Gen. AiacDOnell. of the Buffalo NJ. Co, has large force of men employed, and would soon be in a position to ship cop per if he could get his machinery in. The South Pioneer working shaft Is down 13 feet. The indications are very | favorable. The machinery for the hoist inE works left Casa Grande and IS ex- | pected daily. Lumber for the buildings will be shipped this week from Kellner's lumber yard. Several private buildings are ill course of erection.
 The Great Republic shaft is 70 feet deep. Drifting has commenced south from the slaft, on a fine body of ore of the same character as that found in the South Pioneer. which lies beside 1t. We understand that the Miami mine k about changing hands. We would be glad to be certain of it. It has been a mismanaged property from the word go. We believe 1t has actual merit. The lead upon which 1t Is located IS bold and strong. On the Alta Gracia, at the ;. W. end, there Is good ore, and also in Cay iat's claim, at its \. E. end.
 The mill known as the Miami, and now the property of the Gila Co. NJ Co, started up early this week on Emeline ore. They have some very good ore at the mill. It wll average, judging from ap- pearancos, nearly SlOO per ton. It can not run steadily till the new well IS finished; the supply of water In the old one being insufficient.
 Water was struck in the new well for the Glla CCmpanys mill at a depth of J3 feet.
 IT,. ..,,,.,-.,,-. ,,,.4o b,- q Do,1l.to,, for the Emeline and Blue Bird mines, have been approved and patents will soon be issued to the respective owners.
 What has become of the patent for the Buckeye mine? Steps were taken to procure one a year ago, and fee paid tO the lawyer employed. Where IS the patent? We know where the fee is-it's gone where the wOOdbine twineth."
 The developments on the HOosier con- -inue to be favorable. Very little dead york has been done. The superinten- dent claims to have 400 tons of ore on the dump, al of which has been taken out of so feet of development. Some specimens of red oxide on exhibition at HitchcOck's drug store are very rich. The ledge IS 3l feet wide and all of 1t in ore of varying richness. Mir. Spence does not claim an average of 40 or JO per cent. He will be pleased with 20, and he thinks his ledge will average that. Copper men who have visited the property speak well of it. It IS favOra- bly located for working. We hope to see the HOOsler redeem the copper in- tcrests of Globe.
 George Scott proposes in a short time tO re-cOmmence work on the Pioneer nine. The hot weather and bad air pre- vented him pushing work along all sum- me-. He proposes to continue the drift from the 7j-foOt shaft to the cOmbina- ton shaft between his mine and the South Pioneer. Fifteen feet will make the connection. It will develop a large section of the mine and enable the fur tber sinking of the shaft to go on.
 The Carrie COmpanys smelter was slut down on the 20th inst. Mrs. Geo. Scott had put an attachment upon the property a few days before, which was removed by the payment of her claim. lI the last difficulty, the Tucson firm of l.. ZeckendOrf < Co. are the movers. Their claim is for some S2l,0OO. The H,OO0 lbs. of copper shipped last week went to their house, and the company are not credited with 1t in the account rendered. When the settlement occurs this will no doubt be done; and as the copper is proUably worth ten cents a pound, 1t reduces the indebtedness to Sl3,G)O. There are about five tons of copper since shipped, vhiee reduces it still more. We understand that all local indebtedness has been paid; If SO, the whole claim against the property cannot be more than S12,5O0 To offset that debt there IS an excellent plant, good mill site, three mines, (the Carrie, the True Blue and an extension of the Orion J the first two of which have been pro ducing the ore upon which the shelter was running. We have been informed that the condition of the True Blue IS pa ticularly good at present, as there IS considerable ore in sight, and easily got at. There is no reason why this property should be idle, and we are satisfied that it will not be long. We cannot blame ZeckendOrf S Co.,. as they have q right to secure themselves; but we regret the occurrence, as it may operate adversely to the copper interests of Globe.
