 Ht NJttcue NOuSOlIudLtu NODtJCT cOmpany's stock does not seem to be as popular as it was some months ago. It was then selling for S40 share. Last
 week on the New York curb market 200 shares sold for S22, 200 for twenty ono seven eighths and 100 for twenty one three fOurths. It is reported that this drop is not caused so much by lack of confidence in the immense mineral deposits as by a loss in con fidence in the management Of the com pany--Liberal,
 Referring to the very extraordinary and multifarious strike of "Sl5, 900 900 of ore in sight," reported a couple Of weeks ago from Tucson, Arizona, the Nidette of NOgales, very properly remarks: "Such fool statements not only injure the Territory, but specially the town from whence they emanate. All admit that Arizona is rich in min cral, but people do not exactly walk out before breakfast and scale d few million dollars off the side of q mount ain as an appetizer"

A bond has 1 been taken on the property by Dr. H. NJ. Chance, of Philadelphia, and the | shaft will be sunk to a depth of several hundred feet.
 Machinists are are at work repairing the big engines which were in use at the Grand Central mines when they were in operation before. Those en- z ines are for use at the big shalt when operations begin below the water level, us the present engines are not large
 
 large engines were burned when the plant burned several years ago, but are still serviceable. Air connections are being made with old workings, after which stations will be cut. and the installed as rapidly as pos siblc. There is no abatement of effort to hurry things to comple etion. Range News.
 The rich strike reported from the Qui ijotOa district will recall the days )f eighteen years ago, when that dis .rict was the center of much excite- nent and mining interest. It was the slump in silver which had much to do in closing down the mines in that sec ion. Copper was then and cents a DounG, and the cost of reduction too great to make it profitable. Now all his is changed. and the QuijotOas have |: turing the past two years been pros Dected for gold and copper, and these metals have been found in several places in surprisingly rich and paying quantities Quijotoa will soon attract much iuterest.-Star.
