 writing from Silver City, N. M., says:
 The report that the Phelps Dodge
 people had purchased the old Hanover
 group at Fierro, the Bragaw group of
 copper mines and a number of iron
 claims, has been confirmed, and the
 new management has already taken
 charge. The price paid could not be
 learned, but it is understood that the

 With the old Hanover company at one end and the Amalgamated Copper company at the other, opening up the big mines in this district in business like and practical way, this camp will soon rival the other great producers of this country. This camp has many advantages over any of the big copper districts of the southwest water con venient, cheap fuel, cheap transportr- tion, cheap treatment and big ore bodies cheaply and easily mined, all combine to make this camp one of the most important mining districts in the west.
 C. w. Sanders, superintendent of the Vulture mine, is in town today to make the purchase of a lot of pipe for that property, says the Journal Miner. It is the purpose of the company to put in a new pipe line from the Has, sayampa river to the l00-stamp mill of the company, and also to construct an electric line between Hot Springs Junction and Wickenburg. They ex- pect to commence work at once and to have 1t completed within sixty days and in full operation. Since the re- cent sale and reorganization of the | new company is known as the Vuiture | Gold company. The company is now entirely free of litigation and in ex- cellent shape for doing business on large scale. The mine has not been worked since 1891, but during it's his- tory it is estimated that it has pro- duced over S9,000,000 and yet it has only been developed to a depth of a few hundred feet The company will | also cyanide the tailings which have accumulated from the past working of the mine and which are worth about S4 9 per ton, and it is estimated | that there are 400,0 ,000 tons on the old | tailing dump.
 The Bsbee Review says: The open- ing up of the former Costello prop erty by the Calumet people is pro- gressing most satisfactory and the various drifts are showing up large bodies of high grade ore. In conver- sation with a Review reporter yes terday Superintendent Merrill said "The mine is doing first rate We have started sinking from the S5O-foot level and will push the work as rapidly as possible, On the 700foot level, the first of the week, we uncovered large body of carbonate ore which will run over ten per cent. On several other eyeis We have opened up small bodies of ore, but none as large as that re- gently found on the 700" On the north end of the Irish Mag claim, be- onging to this company, the new gal ows frame was completed Saturday md the small hoisting engine placed 'n It's foundation.
