Shirley. A strong company was or ganized recently in New York to operate upon some rich copper claims which are located in the Cananea mountains and extending upon the mineral zone which ehu- tains the Cobre Grande mine. Mir. Shirley was seen last evening at the Adams by h reporter for the Herald. When asked if he had any news for the public, Mir. Shirley said thst an order had just been left with Fraser & Chalmers for one of the most complete smelting plants ever brought to the southwest. The plant contains equipment for 200

 h the opinion of Director of the Mint Roberts the worlds supply of gold .Vould be seriously affected iu case of war betWee Great BfitSin and the Transvaal republic. Tbe degree of influence would depend, of course. on the exteut aud durA- ton of hostilities. The Transvaal republic IS al present. the largest producer of gold 10 the world. and the indi eatiobs up to the present time have been that large gsips would be made during the current year in the output from that part of the world. The total output of the republic last year" said Mir. Roberts @was SSS,OO0,OO0. and that was a great jump above the year be fore. During the month of July this year the gold product of the re- public amounted tO over SS.0OO.0O0 the largest amount ever taken out in one month. At this rate each month the yearly product would be close to Sl00,0O0,O00. Including the gold mlBed 10 other parts of South Africa that output would fully reach that figure"

 | Word comes from the Blue Bell mine, of which E. A. Hsggott IS superintendent, that four feet of righ sulpbide copper ore has been struck in the property al depth of : l25 feet. MT.

The erection of this shelter will be of untold ad- vantage to the mining interests of Yavapai county, as it will afford a market right at home for the ore and concentrates which are now shipped to outside smelters.
 It is fact not generally known, but a fact all the same. that prop osition to purchase the United Verde

Before go ing to fual entry a protest was filed against the issuance or patent on the ground that the land was nou-miu, sral in character and that a sufi- cient amount of work had not beer performed on the claims to permit of a patent under a mineral entry The hearing in the case in the land office occupied about a week, the testimony being very volulLinOu. and rather conflicting The reglster and receiver decided the case iU favor of claimant, Mir.

The custom smelrer of the ArI- zona Eastern & Montana Co. has been put iu splendid order and IS now ready 10 blow m. Ia fact the 9th was set as the day to start, but the coke wss billed tn Deming by mistake. Henry B. Clifford, the coinpany's manager, has succeeded in stirring up considerable activity among the miners and many pros poets are fast becoming mines. To aid the small shipper, the Arizona Eastern & Montana Go. have bought a pack train and are packing lots of from one to three tons. This is a great recommendation and enables miners to get returns upon small lots. The largest shippers to the shelter at present are the Lone Pine, Sterling, Boston Girl, Eggy and QuacEenbush, Gopher Mining O., Cypress, Pride of Arizona aud Mrs. CliffUrd's group. The Arizona Eastern & Montana Co. came quietly into this country, started to work and the results have been more than beneficial in the ordinary sense.

NATIONAL DRILLING CONTEST.

Prescott being located in the center of one of the greatest mineral sections in the United States is admirably adapted for giving a national drilling contest, open for miners from all parts of the United States. Her citizens could we'll af- ford to offer suitable purses. large enough to attract expert drillers from every other mining section of the west. The money thus eIpend- ed would furnish one Of the best a .vertisements that the town could receive.
 As the, Feathe1 here remains mild at least tSA away along in December, a good tine to give such conte% [ would be about Thanksgiving, when the snowseoyer the peaks Of Colo rsdo and bIizZards commence to pay their respects to Montana aud other of the extreme northern mining states. It would be a pleasure trip for miners of these localities to come down into the lower attitudes and enjoy the warm sunshine experienced here at that season, while such a contest would be a strong induce ment for them to pay such a visit.
 Miners would also be attracted here fron. every mluiug camp in Arizona, aud th-r,s is no reason why such contest shonld aot se com plete success, ant ,n- ~hlrh w,aGii result Dsas6sisdly t) ths sDias- 'ii the way Of the. adverlis,Ag t w,'uid give.
