the United Globe mines, laS4 week gave rise to many unfavorablel rumors which for the most part were pnfCmnd- ed. The company having la good showing in their several minleS, blew in a second furnace about thr@e weeks ago, and increased their force ito about $50 men. Unfortunately the character of the ore in several of their most i'm portant stopes changed to Iqnart7 1se and salicious ores, which proved dlfn- cult to smelt and the values in copper were reduced, also, making smeltlng difficult and unprofitable. The com Eany had employed large number of new men, many of whom were found to be incompetent, and the company thought it to their interest to close dCWn one furnace.
 Prof. James DougIess, president Of the company, while here. decided to put in teaching works, and to do con- siderable new development, which will place the company in much better shape for economical work.
 The shaft on the Hoosier is to be en- larged to three compartments, and con- Eections made with outlying mine. A larger hoist is contemplated. and al1- other furnace is to be erected at the shelter. The teaching plant is to be put in immediately and Superintend- ent E. H. Cook left this meaning for Les Angeles to purchase the acids and other supplies needed Within three months it is expected that the teaching works will be erected and ready for operation.
 The reduction of the force will not seriously affect the business of the town and with the improvements con- templated the United G.cbe will within a few months be in a position to en- As 1I.- inc. ease the output of copper.-Silver Belt.

 Word reached here today that a sur veYing party will be put in the field by the Duquesne Mining and Reduction company with view to immediately constructing a road between Washing ton Camp and Crittenden, Ariz., dis tance cf twenty-five miles. Washing ton Camp has long been a very valu- able mining country and is fast being developed. It is located a short ways from Nogaies, ATiZ., and has a very bright future-E. Paso Herald.
 The following is a sample of some of the inuuiries the Citizen is receiving from the wCuld-be investors in Arizona mining property: There are number of advertisements of copper shares running in the New York and Boston papers. Are they reliable? Of course the writer understands there are a
 
 time there might be chance to invest a little money in some of them that may turn out all right" The advice this New York man received was to Hook a leetIei" out or he might fail to realize a dividend from his investment, as all is not gold that glitters nor all ways a gccd investment that bears copper stain.-Tucson Citizen.
 c. D. Reppy of the Florence Tribune Is sole owncr of the Laure'-t2 mine, which is nearly full claim lying be- tween the Pride of the West and Hol- land mines. It is needless to say he intends making a stake out of it, as it is on the strike of the immense vein which runs thrcIgh beth those prop critics.
 In reference to the reported sale by Charles M. Shannon of his copper prop critics at Morenci for a large sum of money. the Silver Civ Fntnrrrise says that his many friends in New Mexico hope that the news of his big fortune is true.-Tucson Citizen.
 The ore of the Duquesne Mining company, Washington Camp, runs about 10 per cent copper and five ounces of silver to the ton, and also some gold, the ore existing in large bodies. The mine is fully developed and special process has been devised for treating tE-s particular ore, it be- ing a sulphide. The company is about to construct branch railroad connect ing the mines With the Sonora rail read, and once active operations are commenced this group of mines will f2e come an important factor in the pro- auction of copper in Arizona.
