 The Detroit Copper company at Mo renci, seven miles west of Clifton,
 many years ago conducted a plant
 three miles below Clifton on the
 Frisco, at which point they now op-
 crate pump which forces needed wa
 ter to the companyss smelter at the above place. The company's proper | ty. involving eighty claims, abuts
 that of the A. c. company. They
 have six hoists on the hill overlook
 ing their smelter. The ores minGd
 are similar to those mined by the A. c. company. There are 600 men em ployed, mostly Mexicans. The tram
 ways, ore cars and machinery on the hill cuts considerable figure in the 1 outlays made by the Detroit com- pany, which operates a store, hospi- tai, library, lodgings and boarding
 house. The capacity of the smelter
 IS somewhat less than that of the A.
 .. company In June last William
 Church, an owner of Phoenix prop
 erty, then superintendent, sold his
 interest to Phelps, Dodge & Go, con-
 slderation being in srrnn figures. The
 Detroit company was incorporated un- : der the laws of Michigan.
 The company will shut down in Oc-
 tober in order to make material
 charges and introduce new machin- cry. Surveys have been made and it is generally thought that they will
 build a narrow gauge from Morenci down the mountains to the Frisco
 thence to Guthrie, there tC run over . the A. & N. M. to Lordsburg. The officers located here are: c. B. Mills superintendent; Gordon Mclean, fore : man; H. s. Van Gordon, store man. ager; son of Prof. Douglas, presi- dent of the Copper Queen company 3 is superintendent of the metallurgi- cal department, and Dr. w. J. Davis 2 is the physician.
 : Charles NJ Shannon, one of the ori ginal locators. and his uncle, Gen !. Hughes of Denver, own claims on tht f Apex over the A. c. company's Met s calf mine. There are large bodies O I self fluXing ores, largely iron ant l lime, in this prospect on which som' s work is being done under the direc n tion Of Superintendent Nichols. It i g said an offer of $400. .000 for the prop : erty was made by the A. c. compan. n some years ago and refused. Thi c is a fine copper proposition and it I future will soon be determined. Isaa 'f Stevens and Shannon & Hughes hay e sold ore to the Arizona Copper com a pany.
 Il The Evans Van Hecke Mining com e pany and the Consolidated Gold Mir r. ing company, both incorporated un It der Arizona laws, began operatio n at Evans Point, four and half mile 7, north of Clifton, few months az IS on some fine property comprisin l. forty-six claims, George Williams, 1 ,a W. Tevis, J. H. Dorsey and Maso e Greenlee being among the origins ,r locators, the four persons named no )r operating for the above mentione ,. companies. The properties are gol e, propositions, the companies ownin: l. in the forty-siX claims, two miles ledge showing a tremendous croI IS ping of ore on the Greenlee hills. e. number of openings are being mad le and crosscuts worked to strike veil .d leading to the ledge which trend D. south half a mile into the old Coppt le King copper proposition. The ore D. low grade in the south end, showir ly better as it is worked northwest.
