 The copper mines of the country are reducing the cost of smelting and mat ting to a considerable degree. At Phoe: nix, B. c the Granby smelter mates ore for cost of $l 20 u ton; at Duck town, Tenn, copper is mined and matted for S4 10 per ton at Bingham, | Utah, the Utah Consolidated company is producing copper at cost of but 2 cents pound In some of the Ari- zona mines the price is discounted c ,nsiderabiy.

 We understand that the recent py- rite smelting test at the Needles smelter was a success, but that the owners are uncertain whether it could be made paving venture. There are ores in this country that could be read fly worked by the process, but they are Of too low a grade to haul to the smelter and leave a margin of profit A smelter of this kind might be made profitable if erected near the mines. -- Mohave Miner
 Capt Thomas McEniry passed through Stafford last Wednesday, in company with Mr. Hurley, on his way to Fl Paso. Mir Hurley has been here about two weeks looking over mining property in which he Is interested with Captain McEniry. Captain McEniry has returned tu Grahsm county for the purpose of developing mines in the Clark district. He informed us that he would also resume work in the Lone Star district in a short time.

 compressor drills are at work on vein fifteen feet between walls. A mil will be erected in the Spring. It is estimated that the general run of the ore will go better than S25 to the ton. M. X F. Review
 The tin excitement iS the latest, a strike being reported where one Oand one so per cent. sample of tin ore were discovered three feet from he surface, near the Wolframite mines in Mohave county, some fifteen miles from Cop per creek. With wolframite, tin ana coal just across the line copper. gold silver, lead and zinc on this side. ii railroad IS the only thing needed to make Cripple Creek and Leadville ir their palmy days babies by the side ol Eureka district, as it is called the sam on both sides of the line. With fa ! cattle in the hills and lots of grub in camp, why shouldn't the miners feel happy? Journal Miner.

 Arizona is now entering upon thu greatest mining period of its exis tence. says the Western Minera World. It is in fact proper to sa, that it has already entered upon il but it is still at the threshold Fron now forward It will go on adding eacl each year to its mineral production to degree that, while the yearly in crease may not cause any immediat. commotion, will be surprising whel few years hence one looks backward and in saying this it may be well t' add that this present and future activ ity in mining will not be confined t any one section of the territory, witt producing mines and claims under de velopment in all of them. Anothe thing to be noted is that it's or bodies are rich in three prominen metals, gold, silver and copper.
