III DecenDer last, MT. reu E. Muf-
 ray obtained working bond on the
 Copper World, twelve miles south of
 Yucca, and the work of prospecting
 the property was begun under the SUI.
 pervision of Mir. H. c. Church, and a great deal of work has been done in running levels. sinking winzes, and like work. All work done has been Tn ore. and on the upper level and winze large bodies of ore have been un- with the view of finding the ex tent and richness of the ore. The ores are car bonate and sulphide, and are B per cent copper. The ore taken ont in the workings Is now being shipped to Cop per Basin near Prescott, to be used in mating other ores at the furnace there. The Copper World is now the property of Messrs. Phelps. Dodge X Ca. of New York City, who own large copper inter- ests in this territory, and the transfer was made through Mir. Murray The Antler, another mine of tho same char acter, about two miles distant. has also been purchased hy them, and should these mines develop as indications now promise, n shelter will be erected at some convenient point to the mines. We are glad to note the investment oi this great copper concern in this coun- ty, and 1t will probably lead to the de- velopment of other copper mines here. The shipment of ore to Prescott is a new experiment to smelting men, and 1t may lead to results that will prove of great benefit to the mining interests of the territory, and to Mir. Fred K. Mur- ray belongs the credit Cf having ship ped the first copper ore from Mohave county to Prescott-Mohave Miner.
