be Bored and a Twenty Sta mp Mill lErected.--Other Mines.
 Johnny Devine was in the city yester- | day to make arrangements for moving the machinery for boring a we'll on the mines sold by him over year ago to a Milwaukee Company. of capitalists. MT. Devine retained good interest in the property and is superintendent of the Company. The mines are situated Is miles west of Frank Proctor's we'll in the Comobabi mountains and are rich in free milling silver ore. The quantity of ore is great and it is rich. Since the Company interested themselves in the property, they have had the property
 THOROUGHLY TESTED.
 so as not to make the mistake of putting up machinery on mere fiattering pros pect. The ore is there and it only awaits proper treatment to yield much bullion to its owners. MT. Devine is mining man of skill and ability, and his hosts of friends will be pleased to learn that he will soon be in way to take a few of the comforts of this life. The machinery for boring the we'll arrived from Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday, and will leavefor the mines tomorrow. The contract for
 BORING THE WELL
 was let to the American Manufacturing Mining and Milling Company, of Cleve- land, and their agent, w. O. DeMaro, accompanied the machinery and will have charge of the work, assisted by MT. Joseph Potts, an experienced driller from Finlay, Ohio. The con- pany has also been awarded the contract for erecting 40-ton concentrating mill and MT. DeMaro hopes to complete the we'll and mill inside of six months when operations will begin.
 Steam hoisting machinery for the mine is also included in the contract, and this will be put up at once.
 The mill will be an improved one and different to any other in operation in the Territory, and it is claimed that ores can be treated with 1t at consider able less expense than by the old-fash toned machinery.
 THE COPPER QUEEN.
 The following from the Prospector the latest from the great copper camp:
 At the present time the output is not | as large as it has been, owing to the price | of copper being low. The large smelter, or Jumbo, as it has been named, having | a capacity of 150 tons per day, is lying | idle, and will be treated to a new and | larger jacket before work is resumed. | rrha h,1onna Of ho opoaltaro | ming to their full capacity. About a | hundred men were let out last week | which has caused much comment | among those who are interested in a financial way in the camp, We are as- sured, however, that there is no cause for bear feeling, and that upon the of the repairs to the big shelter the number of men will be in creased accordingly. There are at the present time about 300 men at work in and around the mine. The output is fifteen tons per day of copper matte. The management wisely determined a lew months ago to lay in supply of coke which would protect them from the necessity of closing down on account of washouts on the railroad and the consequent inability to get through with the coke cars. Along the inc of the road in and around Bisbee a little over 5000 tons of this coal product nave been dumped as precautionary Among the new additions to the already complete works is a brick purchased by MT. Lewis Vii. jams during his recent visit to De- .roit. It has taken the place of the for ner crude method of working the fine lust into adobes. The machine is run by steam. The hopper is fed with this black, muddy y-looking substance, and comes out below in smooth bricks as last as man can handle them. These bricks are placed in the sun, and when hard enough are run through the smell ter.
 THE HKNsLEY COPPER MINES. by the Tombstone Prospector that the Hensly group of copper mines at Wash ngton Camp have been sold to the Engine company, of Pitts burg, for S1O0,0OO. A telegram received from Pittsburg yesterday by G. W. Chey ney, who had bond on the clalms, di recting him to come to Tucson on Tues day next where the money would be paid. This sale means much for south | eastern Arizona.
 FROM CASA CYANIDE.
 A correspondent writing to. the Flor | ence Enterprise from,Casa Grande says: 1
 Affairs in mining circles are moving | quietly and slowly, owing no doubt to | the extreme heat. The we'll at the Lela l camp is completed. There is now about | 100 feet of water in the we'll, which is | 565 feet deep.
 Boring at the Golden West is going | on rapidly, the we'll now being down about $50 feet. Indications are that water will be struck at about 575 feet, the location being about 100 feet higher than the Monarch.
 The smeltor plant for the Silver Reef is being placed in position as fast as hauled to the ground and the mill will be started about Septembe 1st.
 A FINE COPPER MINE.
 The Clifton Clarion says, the Copper King mine, under the management of D. Cough, is showing up wonderfully we'll, and as it lays now is undoubtedly the finest looking copper property in the Southwest. The development work, withouG stopping, has produced 1000 tons of ore on the dumps which will aver age at the very least D per cent. The workings at one point show 9-foot ledge of solid glance ore. One shot put in thore one day this week knocked down fifteen tons of ore which will run 50 per cent. The mine is now in such shape that it could easily produce loo tons of 30 per cent ore daily.
