 William Jenks, superintendent Of the Table Mountain Copper company, spent Thursday in Wilcox en route to A1bu- querque, near which city he has inn portant mining interests. Superin- tendent JenkS was unable to state how soon the company will resume opera LlCnS. We learned, however, that tunnel run by his direction lately tap ped an immense ledge of copper ore. The chief obstacles to the successful operation of the mine have been scare ity of water, difficulty of keeping the road in repair and the cost of iron fux, the latter having to be packed several miles on burros. These hind rances will doubtless be overcome.- Range News.

 The inhabitants of Bisbee were aroused from their peaceful slumbers las. night about 1:15 by the vigorous ringing of the fire bell and the footing of the many whistles. The bright light arising from the side of Chihua- hua hill told the tale of fire. The fire lads were soon willingly at work and had the fire under control in a short time. The fire started in a row of small frame buildings just in the rear of the company's stables. Three small buildings were consumed with their contents. The fire is believed to have been of incendiary origin and a son of the land of manyana has been placed under arrest, charged with the offense. The stiffness of the night was a great aid in subduing the flames, for, had the wind been blowing the loss would have been very much greater.-Bisbee Orb.

He secured about thirty samples from wells located in all parts of the valley. Some of them are very good, particularly those obtained in the neighborhood of Scottsdale, and from the draws or valleys made by Cave creek and New river. Some or the sam- pies are heavily impregnated with all kaline matter, notably the one obtain cd at the Indian school, north of Phoe- nix, which has 200 grains of so1.ds to the gallon.
