News from Taos is to the effect that
great deal of placer mining will be
done this season on the Rio Grande.
| The entire country is entering upon
an area of progress aud development
never before known or even hoped
| for.
About ten miles east of Florence and
three miles south from the ella river,
near the Florence and Globe road, are
being developed several mines that
show more than usually good results
producing ore of very high grade, and
in large quantities.
The big eliptical furnace at the Buff
falo smelter was blown in On Tuesday
morning. 1t is a cormerant in its ca
pacity for consuming ore, and requires
four men to feed it. The cycloidal
blower is worthy accessory to it, and

mace was working fairly weli yesterday
and after a few days seasoning will
turn out copper very fast.-Globe Sill

The Mohawk mine at Schultz Ariz,
is down 300 feet The 200 foot level is
said to be opened sufficiently to furnish
ore for the 30 stamps for six months.
The mine is being developed and addi-
tions will be made to the mill if neces-
sary. The mill had but 20 stamps
when Mr.. Olive took possession. The
engine power will handle 100 stamps.
The pumping plant will be equally as
strong. With the Mohawk's facilities
the ores in that section can be worked
to profit under such management.
At meeting of the stockholders of
the Tel & Poe Mining Co.. held in this
:ity last Monday afternoon, the follow
ing directors were elected: Charles
and w. B. Walton. A meeting of the
directors followed which resulted in
the election of Charles Poe, PRECEDENT |
and treasurer: James 81. Tracy, vice |
president and Seaman Field, secretary. |
At this meeting two years lease was !
given John A. Deemer, of this city, to |
work the group of mines owned by the |
cOrpOr acknowledgements.
Without doubt Bisbee is today the |
best mining camp in Arizona, and |
one of the best in the West. |
It's miners are all contented and bust
ness men are doing well. The Copper
Queen, which has made this cam W hat
t is, is one of the greatest copper
producers in the world, and employs
lbout 500 men all told, paying them
op wages. This mines future is
brighter than its past. The Copper
King, adjoining this great mine, is
d ogres5ing with its development, and
promises to be as great a producer as
is sister. With the numerous other
promising properties tributary to Bis
pee, it is safe prediction that in the
lear future the population of Bisbee
will be more than trebled: it Is even
safe to say that by the dawnipg of
lew century population of $4,000 will
De drawing their daily subsistence from
his camp. Confidence in Arizona
mining properties is rapidly becoming
established on a firmer basis, and
capital, which has been so long tied
I'D, is now seeking investment in the
silver West, and Arizona for the next
wo years will be the scene of more
extensive operations in mining than
he has ever before experienced.
