COPPER IS THE METAL.
The CochiSe Copper Mining Company. Bisbee, ATizo2a.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation for about twenty years, and employs about 1,5o0 men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000, ,000 pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,000, 900, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em ploy for years, that the Queen mlns 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 within such close proximity to such won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity. who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise a success in every respect. The board ol directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the con- pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and lim- tied number of shares are offered at twenty-five c. per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted,
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice. or to reject any application for stock at their discre- | tion.
 l Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment of our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise a success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives.

From Tho Vicinity OF Wepener In Tho

Have A Secret Lord Roberts May Begin
His Advance Northward-British Am
rnunition Stopped BY Basutos- Cause or
Recent Explosion.
tpx Telegraph to vlrg,nIan-pilot.>

London, April 20 (2:3O a. m.)-The
total absence of news from the seat Of
war In South Africa during the last "A
hours, it is presumed, indicates that OPP
erations are progressing which it is
deemed prudent to keep secret.
So far as the situation in the south
eatesrn part of the Free State can be
worked out from the latest dispatches,
the main body OF the Beers. composed
of the forces recently holding Thaban-
chu, Leeuw Kop and Dewetdorp, is re-
firing. probably with n view of joining
in the neighborhood of Ladybrand the
commanders from the vicinity of WEEP
ener, who according to dispatch from
Allwal North dated April 2S made good
their retreat to Ladybrand. The main
body of the Beers is followed by Cen
erals Hamilton, French, Brabant and
Hart. while General Rumble also is on
the spot.
The British thus have an overwhelm-
ingly superior force and ought to wipe
out the Beers If they succeed in over
taking them and bring them to bay.
LOCATION OF THE BoERs.
Tt may be assumed that the Beers are
to the eastward of Il line drawn from
Thabucha to WeDener. The retreat, it
seems is being carried out without
fighting, which indicates that the Beers
have a good start and the dispatches
say that they are not hampered much
by transport and leave no visible wheel
tracks behind them on the veldt.
This initiates against the probability
of their being overtaken and forced to
a decisive action. While it is possible
that news of such Il battle may come
at any moment the chance seems even
that the retreating commanders may
get away without being forced to turn
and fight.
1t is within the range of possibilities
that Lord Roberts, without waiting for
the outcome OF these manoeuvreS, may
begin his advance northward. This
may be the secret that the cersors have
been so jealously guarding. The out
come of this interesting situation cam
not now be long delayed

or exit from Bssutoland.

say the Government inspectors there
