EDIsON'S MINING OPERATIONS.
He Cannot Produce Iron Ore as
 Cheaply as Carnegie.

While I admit that Thomas Edi- son has made a most wonderful dis covery in his electrical invention for the reclamation of the mines of mag netic iron along the New Jersey shore, he will not be able to supply the world with iron,' said Samuel B. Dick of Pittsburg, a partner of Andrew Car negie, at the Brown Palace hotel. Tn the first place, it costs Edison too much to get his iron out. He may be able to remedy that defect in time But as it is now Superior mines could crowd him off the earth. Up there it costs but from 6 to cents per ton to get the iron out, after the dirt has been strippel off the ore. The cost of shipping runs the price of the Su- perior iron to about IS cents per ton. Edison cannot at present produce iron at those figures. In justice to Mr. Edi- son I will say that his invention is as yet merely an experiment, and by the time he has perfected it he may pro- duce iron at less cost per ton than do the Superior mines at present.

A GIANT SKULL OF GOLD.

They had a big parade on the cc- casion of the jubilee in Frisco cele- brating the fiftieth anniversary of the gold discovery. Calaveras county, one of the great gold producers, had in the parade float containing an i'm mense golden skull, six feet high, inn bedded in mass of rock, and under it tunnel entrance to a mine
 The idea of skull to represent Cal averas comes from a legend which re- lates the grewsome sight that greeted the first white settlers. In lonely gulch where gold has since been found in abundance they discovered a huge heap of skulls, while strewn about were the evidences of an Indian mas sacre of years ago. Thus originated the name of the county, Calaveras, being the Spanish word for skulls

viduals at s1O and to companies at $500. The reservation fee is placed at
 s15, which is also the amount of the annual renewal fee. The royalty has been reduced to 10 per cent. on all pro- auctions of more than S2,5G0 per an- mum.
 'EThe original regulations required the registration of claims in the office of the district commissioner at once As this works great hardships to those miners whose claims were locat- ed at long distances from the commis- sioners' office on account of the diff culties of travel in that country, this requirement has also been modified Camps located more than 100 miles from the office of the commissioner are now permitted to elect their own re- corder and record their claims with him, but are required to record their claims with the commissioner within three months from the date of loca- tion. The new regulations are per fectly satisfactory to all the miners with whom 1 came in contact and I am inclined to the opinion that they will operate as an encouragement to the settlement of the country, espec- tally those features which permit the occupation of more than one claim, and which reduce the royalty to comparatively normal figure''

GREAT COPPER CAMP.
Former Tombstoners Doing Well and
 Business Active.

The following observation of a Tombstonite at Bisbee are made, and the Prospector publishes the same as interesting news from her sister town:
 There are three companies now operating-the Queen, King and Cop per Rock and Gold Quartz company; and another, the South Bisbee Town site and Improvement company, will soon begin work. A new town site will be laid out and work on their mines will begin about the same time. The preliminary survey for railroad to run from Cochise station via Pearce to Bisbee will soon be commenced; at least that is the present programme. And still there is room for more. The town site company has fifty-one claims bonded, some of which are pretty well developed, there being seV- eral hundred tons of high grade ore on some of the dumps. Large blocks of the stock will doubtless be sold here, for there seems to be general confidence in the management and faith in the mines.
 "The A. & s. B. is doing a heavy traffic in the freight that is now com ing in, and passenger travel is increas- ing daily, and many of the newcomers remain to work in the mines or to build up homes in this growing camp.
 There are many old Tombstoners here and all of them are doing well, some working in the mines and others are engaged in business. A. B. Bar nett, Nick Mobile, J. A. Miller, c. A. Overlook, Johnny Mobile, A. w. Howe, Johnny True, Joseph Lippert and other old Tombstoners are here in business, and all appear to be doing well, to say nothing of the large num- Der of TombstoneTs at work in the mines Sam Cowan is also here en- gagged in the dairy business, and is no doubt meeting with success.
