COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company,
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns a very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of COchise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bishee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation tor about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation Of it's mammoth mine and smelters, and as result has produced copper to over 34,0G0,000 pounds during the year 1898, and tie net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over S2,000,000, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's en- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable. when it is witnin such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and EeaId &t the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the cOncussiOn has attracted marked attention.

The Cochise Company.

AN ORE reporter this morning visited the property of the above company and found everything running smoothly under the supervision of Joseph Mu- helm. The main shaft is now down to a depth of 277 feet, and is being sunk at the rate of 211a feet ger day. The shaft will be sunk to depth of 300 feet, when drifts will be started and num- Der of cross.cuts run.
 In the bottom of the shaft are three small stringers of peacock copper which run across the whole shaft. The ore will assay about 20 per cent copper. The grading for the boiler and hoist ing engine is nearly completed and by the time the machinery arrives every thing will be in readiness.
 The company has also resumed work on another shaft about 250 yards further up the canyon, where an incline shaft had been started on small stringer of sulphide ore. This shaft is now down to depth of 50 feet, and drift has been started south towards the main shaft. A small strlnger of ore can be plainly seen in the face of this drift, which Supt. Muheim assured us would go about l5 per cent.
 During the past sixty days several thousand of shares in this enterprise have been sold in our city besides a large number which have been sold in the east. Secretary Williams is kept busy sending sending out .piospectu$es and maps of the claims to inquiring parties and purchasers.

Cattle Seized.

Yesterday forenoon while a part of the heard of two thousand cattle belong ing to the Turkey Track company were being loaded for shipment to Kansas, Deputy Collector of Customs Welch stepped up to MT. Packard and informed him that his cattle were under seizure by the U. s. government. A part of the cattle had been loaded and others were in the corral, while another herd was being held outside clcse to the stock yards.
 Mir. Packard was allowed to load the balance Of his train load upon agreeing to pay the duty upon them, which he did, but at the same time entered a pro. test and filed the same. The balance of the cattle were taken in charge by the custom officers and were held until this morning. when they were turned loose.
 The ground upon which the cattle were sei2ei is mystery to everyone, as the cattle were all rounded up on the ranges of the Turkey Track company on this side of the line and were not sub- ject to duty. The custom house officers claim that the cattle were seized so as to make test case as to whether a cattle company has the right to run the same brand on their cattle on both sides of the line, the ranges of the Turkey Track company being on both sides and but one brand is used.
 What the outcome of the matter will be is difficult to foretell. As it is now, Mir. Packard, in behalf of the company, is out the time and expense of rounding up the cattle, the expense of bringing the cars for shipment, besides other expenses.
 The custom officials, after holding the cattle all night, offered to turn them over to Mr. Packard, who refused to take them. The gates were then opened and the cattle allowed to go and wonder at their leisure.
 The settlement of the mattor will be watched with interest by the many cat tlemen in this vicinity.

The management of the Opera House would save itself considerable criticism fl 1t would see to it that the jainitors dusted the seats in the hall after sweep ing. On Monday, evening the seats were covered with dust and persons slt- ting down in them had the backs of their clothes all covered with dirt. It may have been an oversight thls time but it should never occur again, for people object to having their clothes ruined in thls manner.
 On Sunday eyeng William Iange and Miss Nellie Fletcher were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony, by Judge Scrimsher. The groom IS we'll known young man of our city and was recently engaged in the mercantile business here.

 The May day dance given at the Opera House last evening was grand success. The music by the band was excellent and called for hearty applause. The balloting for May Queen resulted in the election of Miss Cora Gray, after which dancing was indulged in until late hour. The refreshments served were most thoroughly enjoyed and appreci- a,ed by the many dancers. Each couple in the grand march were given boquet of flowers which had been received from California. The music by Prof. Hem ple's orchestra was superb, and the merry dancers enjoyed themselves to their hearts content.

While it will be unhandy in transferring from the broad gauge to the marrow it is made necessity as it was found to be impossible to construct the standard gauge on account of the sharp curves and the heavy grades, the grade down for the narrow gauge being trihe over 31a per cent.

The question from the first was badly
agitated. 1t was not put in proper form.
The real question, the guilt or innocence
of Dreyfus, was lost sight of. The army
was very delicate and very sensitive about
its honor. The criticisms of the army
created a great deal of anger. 1t angered
the Frenchman that the matter should
be made a race question. The army took
up the quarrel as directed against itself
The people became angry and overlooked
the personal question of Dreyfus.
