 If the Rothschilds get all the proper ty of the Anaconda Mining company of Montana on the basis of which they have purchased part of it, the total price paid will be $34 300, ,OOO.
 
 The Warren mining district in Co., chise county embraces a basin of hundred square miles in extent and is today beyond a doubt the richest unde- veloped copper region in the United States.
 The Tucson Mining and Smelling company continues to buy copper ore and pay cash therefor. The high price of copper and the liberal treatment miners receive from this company, should prove a strong inducement for the opening up of the numerous pros poets in this district.-Tucson Citizen. The Metallic extraction works of Florence, Colo, are treating 5000 tons a month, and, with new roasters and
 
 pleted, expect to treble the quantity. For an assurance of steady, supply the Florence mill has the immense low grade bodies of the Anaconda, Victor, Last Dollar and Legal Tender.
 The Citizen says the Tucson Mining and Smelling company is sampling twenty-five tons of high grade copper ore from the claims of Ellis Baxter & Co. near Twin Peaks, in the Olive dis trict. The company has been shipping in number of small lots, but now in tends to open up their claims on more extensive scale and prosecute the work of development with vigor.

 The product of the Jerome mines for the month of November is put at $700, 900. This would be $8,4O0,000 for the year. This is not bad for one company and it is quite probable that at least one-third of the value of the product was gold, so that the Stars prediction that the gold output for Arizona the present year would reach $10,000, 900, is more than likely to be realized.
 s. H. Gould, superintendent of the Orc company, is in from the mines, says the Citizen. He reports every thing moving in most satisfactory manner. He brought in couple of bars of bullion, as the result of short run. There is plenty of ore in sight, and it is working in it's entirety just as it comes out of the shaft. Prepara- tions are being actively made for good steady work upon the properties of the company, and it is most gratifying to know that the prospects for success are very favorable.
 Germany and France exhibit fea lures of increased consumption of cop per, and judging from the first four months in these countries and Eng land the increased amount of Ameri can copper that can be sold and ab- sorbed abroad during this year should amount to 0,0G0 or 5000 tons. From statistics it is ascertained that the in creased consumption of England, Ger many and France is at the rate of 3D. 763 tons per annum. This demand for copper should serve as an impetus to boom copper mines and prospects of any promise should not go begging for capital to develop.
 AS the demand for copper increases on account of the enormous cOnsump- tion in electrical appliances, and the copper here being more desirable as it possesses the highest conductivity of any in the market, there is an opening here for capitalists, which cannot be found in any other section of the coun- try. The Costello group of claims, which lie to the southeast of Bisbee, and adjoin the property of the Copper Queen company, is one which if taken hold of by capital would soon be turn ing out hundreds of tons of copper bull lion. The ore bodies in some of the claims in this group are equally as rich as that found anywhere, and when the fact is known that the ore bodies in the developed properties dip in that direction, the outlook is certainly very encouraging for investment. A little further on in the same direction is a group of claims known as the Haggin group, which, although not developed to any great depth, show still the same character of ore that was first discov- cred by the lone prospector and dip toward the southeast. The Coulter group, which also lies in this same belt, shows copper in abundance and the assays run high in copper.-Bisbee Orb.
