Chief Engineer Wambaugh of the
 Phelps Dodge company has severed hi:
 connection with the firm. Mr. Wam
 baugh is heavily interested in some
 promising copper prospects in the vi
 cinity Of Bisbee which he will give his
 attention to.
 The Finletter Harvey mine one oi
 the richest producers in Arizona, has
 been practically shut down for a few
 days, the result of disagreement be-
 tween the men and the management in
 regard to the employment of camp
 physician.-GlobeT Times.
 The Calumet (Michigan) News and
 the Bisbee Review have been ''round-
 ing-up" the Modern Copper Mining company, which owns some prospects
 a few miles from Bisbee, and has been placing stock on the Calumet market
 on the strength of what the Bisbee
 mines are doing.
 i Good reports come from the Float rock and Blackrock mines, being oper- ated by the Floatrock Mining company. These properties are located in the neigh borhOOd of the Gladstone, Rebel and Kicker mines. They are gold properties. There is shaft down 100 feet in width. Some very rich free gold specimens are taken from the ledge.-Prescott Courier.
 Messrs. Stevens and Armstrong are striking it surprisingly in lead prop osition northeast of Globe near Cap tain Hutton's camp. They have ship ped cars in the last month, and are operating whim on a 90 foot shaft. Their property has quite a history, having been located, worked and aban- doned years ago. These gentlemen re- located it, went to work with faith and energy characteristic of the front fer miner and arc in fair way to make their fortune out of another mans failure.-Globe Times.
 At the Calumet x Arizona mine a big strike of rich Malachite and AZu- rite ore has been encountered on the $50 level of the same class of ore as that encountered in the Copper Queen at the same depth. J. G. Merrill, a cousin of I. l.. Merrill, superintendent, assumed his duties as foreman yester- day. Mir. DeAutremOnt of Duluth, Minn., one of the directors Of the Cal umet x Arizona Co.,, arrived yesterday, for stay of several days. Up at the mine the foundation is fast being put in for the big hosting engine which is being built in the east.-Bisbee Re- view.
 There is Il tendency among a lot of miners to sink ten feet, then drift, raise and go to stoping, and if it don't turn out to be q bonanza it is failure. Recent developments in the Gray, the Copper Hill and above all in the Old Dominion demonstrate that this is d deep mine district. On the lowest levels in the O. D. quantity of sul- phuretts is obtained, which indicates permanece and increases in richness and size every step, this speaks volumes for the camp and the district. The lowest lever in the O. D. is 120O feet, and in the neighboring mines the same conditions obtain as in the O. D. so far as they have sunk. There is no question but what Globe is a deep min- ing camp.-Globe Times.

 The most active field of mining oper- ations perhaps at the present time out side of Globe is in the Rye district. Prospectors and mining men are pour ing into that district from Globe. PhOe- nix and from the north. F. F. Hof- schulte, owner of the Boer group in that promising district was in Globe several days this week. From him we learn something of the conditions and of the whole district which is one of the most extensive in the territory. It Is practically cop per district with an occasional fine showing of silver and lead and in few instances fair per cent of gold. The first camps are struck about 80 miles north and little west of Globe. To reach it one should take the Globe and Payson road to Sam Haught's place on Rye then he is in few miles of his destination with an easy road before him.-Globe Times
