 There are about two hundred men employed in and about the mines and smelters. Owing to the present low price of copper the company are necessitated to exercise the most rigid economy and wages are to be reduced on the first of March to s per day. This will compel a reduction in the rate of board, which has hitherto been above the rate in Arizona gener ally, owing to the cost of transport, but no doubt things will soon adjust themselves.
 MT. James Douglas IT,, is the Presi- dent and General Manager of this large company, ably supported by Ben Williams, who for so many years carried on the business of the old company to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.
 THE ARIZONA PRINCE COMPANY Own the Copper Prince mine. They have a thirty-ton smelter of the mos approved pattern, and have been for some months back turning out regu- lar supplies of bullion, but at the present time, owing to litigation with the Queen Company their mine and shelter have shut down, which throws about forty men out of employment Their various arrangements for mini. mixing the handling of coke and ore are most complete and reflects great credit on the superintendent, Capt. r. W. Heyne and his assiduous foreman, J. B. Mcdonald.
 THE NEPTUNE COMPANY
 Own several claims. This was the first company that started regular work at Bisbee, but for two years they suspended operations. Lately, how ever, they have leased their mines to MT. Cloud, who has been most ener- getic since he commenced, and his efforts have been so successful that the company's smelter, which was located at Hereford, on the San Pedro river, about eighteen miles from Bis bee, has already been removed to this ground, and is now in course of erec- tion.
 On the Lookout mine, it is said they have enough ore in sight to run their smelter for two years without devel- oping any other of their properties.
 HoLBRooK
 Was acquired some time ago by New York parties, when considerable work was done and much ore brought 10 sight. Work was to have commenced this morning again and is to continue regularly. This property is the east erly extension of the Queen proper ties.
 THE SILVER BEAR COMPANIES Properties remain idle for the present. They have smelter on the ground, but it is not yet erected. This com pany have got some fine ore in their ground and with further development and steady work they would, no doubt, achieve the success so bountifully meted out to their neighbors.
 In camp like Bisbee, where there are so many properties of evident merit, it is impossible in an article like this to mention all; suffice it to say that in no instance where the work Of sinking has been persevered with, has fortune failed to repay the owners with the sight of the copper ore which was the object of their search.
 Bisbee will we'll repay q visit to any one interested in copper mining, and with confidence vast increase in the operations of the present year is looked for.
