 George P. Andrews, manager of the Pinal Copper company, informs us that work is progressing fairly we'll on the Black Copper mine, although the old workings, which were unwatered some time since, have been causing trouble by reason of the caving of the ground. This will soon be overcome. The ore bodies look well and the mine is mak- ing fair output of good ore. Three cars of ore were shipped during the past week, to the Federal shelter at Fl Paso.
 A letter received here yesterday from Capt. P. r. Parker, who is now located at the Butte mine six miles from the famous Ray property, contains some interesting information. Captain Parker says that 7O-foot tunnel has just been completed, which shows up a 20-foot ledge of high grade copper ore. The captain says this is one of the rich est strikes in the territory, and will develop into one of the greatest mines in Arizona. He tells his son to come at once, and help in the development work.-Gazette.
 About twenty men are busily en- gagged in developing the Gro Grande. l They are now down about 215 feet. At the 100-foot level they have drifted about loo feet and crosscut a consider able distance, which, with the drift ing and crosscutting at the 200-foot level, shows what remarkable vein of ore has been encountered. The ore still continues to show up well and from the quantity of ore ln sight, the early predictions as to its greatness have proved to be very conservatives. Wickenburg News.

 There is some talk of a new custom shelter for Tucson. It is good loca- tion, and if the "ancient public" had shown the proper business energy she would have had a shelter long ago. A report received at the Los Angeles office of the Bisbee West Copper min ing company states that the main shaft is down to the 600-foot level, where a station is being cut preparatory to sink ing to the 70O-foot level. A drift will be run from the 600-foot level toward the body Of ore encountered at the BOO foot level. The report further states that good results may be looked for l.. A. Mining Review.
 Charles Born left for his property in the Black Rock mining district. He has just completed deal by which he succeeded in interesting some Colorado capitalists in developing the property on an extensive scale. The property is of the same general character as the Burson and Middleton properties, and the development on these properties is equally valuable to this property. Mr. Born is an old timer and showed his faith in the outcome of that district by two years of steady work besides in- vesting considerable capital and justly deserves the reward he is about to re- eive.-Wickenburg News.
 At the Octave mines, which recently sold for 5000 900, the mill is grinding up from 125 to 150 tons of good ore daily and has been for the past year, netting the owners from s50,O00 to S60,- 900 monthly. This is good illustra- tion of the profits to be made in legiti- mate mining with a judicious invest ment of capital. It is said the invest meut in this case was about s250, 900 in equipment and machinery and that the plant is second to none other in the territory. Two and half miles to the north of the Octave on Weaver gulch is the old Johnson mine, which pro- duced we'll in former days. It has re- cently been opened up nicely and prom
