 La grippe is becoming quite preva- | lent ir Bisbee. A number of cases are reported, but they are only of a mild i form.

 renci where the Professor has been in specting Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co.'S. interests at both places.

 The delay in the construct tion of the new opera house is caused by the con- tractors not being able to obtain build ing brick. Jack & Chisolm, the owners, have purchased enough in Tucson to finish the building, and the brick will arrive during next week. The opera house will be completed in about two months.
 Work on the Bisbee Heights tennis courts has been delayed on account of the late snow storm. MT. Hammer, who has charge, will commence work again on Monday, and the courts will be finished ss soon as possible. Nets, rackets and balls have been ordered and when they arrive some exciting contests may be looked for.
 The new Schenectady locomotive ar rived from the factory Monday even ing and made trial run on Wednes- day. This engine is known as No. 8 and is similar to the seven spot with addition of 5000 lbs. more on the drivers.

 Geo. Bernard, owner of the Iron Mountain group of mines, situated about nine miles from Bisbee, came into town last Thursday. He is mak- ing arrangements to sink 3O0-foot shaft and run 500-foot cross-cut. Assays from one of the prospects show 35 per cent copper and $500 in gold at the grass roots, and the surface indi- cations all around point to valuable mineral deposit and George thinks he has it. He says the Iron Mountain group of mines are not for sale.
 W. c. Greene aco mpanied J. E. Hardy, mining man, from New York to Cananea and back to Bisbee. MT. Hardy is highly pleased with the Greene property, and says it is with out doubt another Verde. "We are now running tunnel through vein on the Fl Provencia claim and we have gone in 76 feet and still in body of high-grade copper ore. The native copper is so thick" said Mr. Hardy, ''that we find it very difficult to blast and have to chip out the metal. We now have one of our 350-ton furnaces running and expect to have two more going in week. We are delayed in running our plant to it's fullest capa- city because of the non-arrival of some parts of machinery that we must have before we can run two of our large blowers. We expect to bave every thing going in full blast within in a few weeks.
