consideration Of the bill to amend, con
solidate and codify the insane laws O

Senator Daniels opposed this provil

The COchise Copper Mining Co. e

1 Most favorable reports continue to se received frem the properties of the
 Cochise Copper Mining company, which are located in Alum gulch just north of
 the Fucker claim owned by the Queen company. The Cochise company has thirteen claims, containing 26o acres in all. An ORB reporter yesterday was
 shown several pieces of ore taken from
 the shaft by Supt. Muheim. The ore is partly native copper while other l pieces taken from the other side of the shaft show sulphide and pyrites of cop per. An assay made few days since shows an average of Is psr cont copper $7.50 in gold and 2114 ounces in silver.
 At present the shaft is 15O feet in depth and is being pushed down as rapidly as three eight hour shifts can do the work. The ore found in the shaft continues to increase in value al the depth of the shaft increases. The shaft in which the development work is being done is within one hundred feet. of the side line of the Rueker claim, and the miners in the Coahse shaft can plainly hear the concussion from the blasts of he miners in the Fucker where they arc at present taking out very rich ore. During the past thirty days Secretary Williams has sold over 0,00O shares for the company and is busy daily writ ing out moro certi ficstes for miners and business men of Bisbee as we'll as for many outside parties who are writing for the stock. Most of the stock that has been purchased in Bisbee is iA tie hands of miners employed in the camp and our representative business men.
 The faith shown by these parties should be evidence enough to outside parties that it is a safe investment, and that it is not 6 wildcat scheme. The officers of the company are all residents of our town. and are busness mon. The books of the company are open for in- spection to the stockholders at any time.
 Arrangements are already being made with an eastern firm for the purchase of hosting and otter necsssary machinery. As soon az this is received work will be commenced on the di fferent levels to open up the property, while tho shaft will be sunk to greater depth.
 The outlook for the company is most encouraging, and the many stockholders who invested a few dollars in the enter prise will ere long begin to realize some ' thing on theip investment. It is cur rently reported tl,at the price of stock will scon be raised.

On another claim, recent location, on which ore has been found that rans $75 in gold and carries lead to the amount of $20 per ton Several tons of this ore have already been taken out and a shipment will be made as soon as 6 carload has been sacked.
 The monotony of the quiet life of our burg was aroused last evening about
 6:30, by the vigorous ringing of the Are
 bell and the shricking of the mine and smelter whistles. A cloud of thick smoke arising in Brewery Gulch plainly told the cause of the fire alarm. The fire laddies responded quickly and soon had both carts going down Main street at 2:40 gait, the hose on the first cart having reeled off connections were made .with the hose on the second cart and the boys were going up Brewery Gulch } at a rate that would have put Maud s, to shame, when the chief reported the , fire under control, and the Bisbee fire department lost 8 chance to distinguish itself. The fire started in a tent near , the residence of Mrs. Sullivan and wal
 put out by bucket brigade before any
 damage was done to the adjoining
 buildings. The time made by the fire department in connections and unrasl. ing the 1000 feet of hose was excep- tionally gool and the boys are deserving of credit for their quick work and re. sponse.
