The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany has presented to the museum of
the State School of Mines the speci-
men of copper ore which formed the
chief feature of its exhibit at the
Omaha Exposition in 1898. The speci
men is undoubtedly the largest of its
kind ever put on exhibition, weighing
approximately $500 pounds. 1t is of
the highest grade ore, being nearly
pure copper glance, or chalcocite. The
company not only presented the two
ton specimen to the school, but also
delivered and set it in place. 1t was
originally obtained from the hanging
wall on the l,300-foot level of the
Never Sweat mine. With this nam
moth specimen are presented series
of samples showing the method of
treatment of ores by the Anaconda
company in their concentrators aud
smelters at Anaconda. The whole forms

Great activity prevails in this, Santa
Rita and Hanover mining camps. The
Hanover is steadily shipping to the
Silver City smelter from l2y0J0s to 10,
COOS worth OF high grade ore per
month The Emma is also shipping
regularly now. The Iron Head is pro.
ducing from 5OOs to l,OO05 daily. The
Santa Rita company is commencing
its three great double impairment
working shafts by levels at depth OF
80 feet from the surface, preparatory
to raising the immense ore bodies al
ready uncovered. But the biggest
strike in rich sulpbides, and the larg.
est body, was made last week in the
Clifton Copper company's property at
Earnest. On Thursday last, in blast
ing out square of about feet to
start another drift on the big vein,
one shot knocked down 30 tons of fine
sulphide ore, since which time the drift
has Leen steadily driven in the same
class of ore. The superintendent esti-
mates that in the last three weeks
works, he has uncovered over 20,000S
worth of fresh ore, and that the ore in
sight will not now fall short of 90,00s.
SO far, the whole amount spent on the
developm is less than l2,0O0s.--Cop.

William Merwin, who located some
coal mines in the Mongollon noun.
tains last summer, arrived in town
from his claims Tuesday and brings
an excellent report concerning the
same. Mr.. Merwin, after making his
locations, had at first considerable
trouble in securing capital to prospect
the claims, but in the latter part of
last year induced few Prescott and
Phenix gentlemen to advance him suf-

one of the veins. Three men have
been employed since then and at the
