The Black Warrior Copper Company have bonded the Gray Eagle, Blue Eagle and Black Eagle mining claims from Will Sultan and Wm. Sidow. These claims are located ten miles north of Globe and two miles from Richmond Basin. The claims show m immense ledge of iron ore, which carries enough copper to pay transpor- tatien and smelling charges, together with some lime, and is almost free of silica. Contracts will be let imme- diately for tho development of the claims, and doubtless with depth the percentage of copper will increase. This property will prove an important acquision to the Black Warrior com. pany, as it will furnish exactly the flux required for smelling the silicious ores from the company's claims in Webster gulch. When the several claims are sufficiently opened, the company pro poses to erect snelter in Pinal valley, about midway between the Webster gulch mines and the Eagle claims, the mines and smelter to be connected by rail

Two Hives saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas. of Junction City, H., was told by her doctors she had consumption and that there wac no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. Kings New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. MT.

THE OLD DOMINION COPPER co.

If appearances count for anything the Old Dominion Copper Mining X Smelling Company anticipates an active season of work and large output of copper. The supply of coke, coal and wood on hand is enolm nous and is being daily increased. There are more than 1900 tons of coke in the bins, and in order to make room for continued ar rivals, two bins which were formerly used for lime rock and iron, have been cleaned mp to receive coke. Wood is coming in rapidly aud the present sup ply is sufficient to last for many months, probably till late in the fall. The com pany has large reserves of wood On Pinal mountain. Bids were received on Tuesday for building a new wood road into the mountain, six miles long, starting back of the cemetery.
 Mine development progresses fairly well, although hindered somewhat by bad ground in the lower workings. The stopes on the several levels look well and the supply of ore is ample. On the surface there is some work in hand worthy of notice. The sills have been laid for new carpenter and black smith shop, 70x30 feet in dimension. The two old boilers at the shaft are being repaired to be placed at the smelter to supplement those nov in use.
 The company employs a large force of men, pays them top wages and is doing everything within reason for their safety and comfort, and we hear of no dissatisfaction. Certainly there appears to be no cause for any.

VISIT OF TAe RAILROAD PARTY

Frank NJ. Murphy and party arrived over the Silver King trail last Thurs day evening, and spent Friday visit ing points of interest n7and about town. The party comprised F. M. Murphy, president of the Sante Fe; Prescott X Phoenix railroad, Geo. NJ. Sargent, general freight and passen- ger agent, and w. A. Drake, engineer of the road; R. A. Meeker, c. E., of New York, Dr. G. w. Vickers, of Prescott; Dr. A, J, Chandler, of Mesa, and c. c. Randolph, editor and pro- prietor of the Phoeiiix Republican.
 The object of their visit was to gain a better knowledge of Globe and the resources of the district, and of the practicabiiity of extending the s. F., P. & F. railroad to this point. A con- mittee of the Commercial Club took the party in hand Friday morning and did what was possible for their enter tainment. They visited the works of the Old Dominion Copper Co. and the United Globe Mines and were i'm pressed with the importance of the copper industry of Globe district and the possibilities of its expansion. The visitors were also courteously treated by the merchants of Globe and fur nished data touching the volume of business transacted here. Late in the afternoon the party dined at tho Pascoe restaurant, Covers were laid for thirteen, and the menu provided at such short notice by Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Pascoe was excellent. Mir. Murphy for himself and friends ex- pressed qualification at the reception accorded them, and stated that while he could not say positively that his company would extend their road to Globe, there being many questions to consider before a determination was reached, yet he was hopeful that some thing would come of it. Much will depend, we believe, upon the opinions of the engineers as to the practicability of the route and especially the report of Mir Meeker, who represents Harvey Fisk & Sons, bankers, of New York. If a survey is determined upon, corps of engineers will take the field proba- bly, within few weeks.
 The visitors left Satm day morning for lrion's ranch, where they were to meet Dudley Craig, who had agreed to show them the most feasible route through the mountains. T. A. Pascoe very kindly furnished his coach to take the party as far as the Tanks, and Messrs. Philip Oates and N. l.. Anster accompanied them a part of the way on their return journey.

The engineering has all been com pleted, and Mir. Garland is confident that the right-of-way across the reser- vation will be arranged very soon. This is the first authentic and definite news that has been received in regard to the extension of the G. V. G. X N. railroad, and is received here with much satisfaction.

J. B. McGruder received painful injury last Sunday morning while doing some repair work on the trac- tion engine for the United Globe Mines. McGruder held a steel punch while d fellow workman did the strik- ing with heavy hammer. A glanc- ing blow caused McGruder to lose his grip on the punch which rebounded with great force, striking him on the forehead and cutting a deep gash. McGruder was in position where he was supported by the gearing else the compact would have knocked him down, and it is a wonder that his skull was not fractured. He will be able to return to work in few days.

to the Bangor News:
Although a railroad will be of great adj
vantage to Franklin and increase it's
population to a great extent In the future.
the natives are experiencing one ofKthe
most disadvantageous features at the
present time. The report of the road
building reaches far and near, attracting
every hobo within radius of thouand
miles. The good housewives are hysterical
and tramp-frightened as a result of the
invasion. At one of the farm houses on a
recent Saturday night four stalwart
men applied for board, saying that they
were going to work on the read the next
Monday morning. They were fed with
the best that the farmers larder afforded
over sunday and started for work Mon
day morning with four good dinners in
four good dinner pals; their boarding
mistress is still waiting for them to

vice at a nearby school house took her

but "a horrible vision her eyes beheld, -
for seated around warm fire were trio
of Weary Willies enjoying coffee, cream
cake and other easables. and between

tents Of the various school books and

she could catch her breath and scream,
soaring one of the sleepy Willies so that
he fell backward on the red hot stove and

ming, while the other two made for open
