 In compliance with instructions re- ceived at Globe from the Boston office of the Arizona Commercial company, all work at the, Copper Hill mine was discontinued on Monday. Only an en- gineer and Watchman remain in charge. Superintendent w. s. Sultan is not advised of the reason for the shutdown. For some time past only twelve men had been employed. The mine is opened to a depth of 600 feet and important sulphide ore bodies have been developed.
 The big tunnel at the head of Min eral creek to develop the Mercer and Valentine property is in 220 feet. A blower is to be put in within a few days when the tunnel will be driven more rapidly. The tunnel has already gone through 2S feet of sulphide ore carrying about four and half per cent of copper. A survey is being made for a wagon road to the tunnel to be about one mile long and connect with the road to Sieboth's camp, and upon which work will begin very soon grade of 1928 has been obtained.
 On one of the new claims recently acquired by the Arizona Colorado Cop per Belt and Gold Mining and Milling company. in Irene gulch, Gila county, adjoining their DeCIoss group some very rich ore was found, which carries gold. silver and copper. Some large pieces of the ore show number of large and small specks of free gold. besides horn silver and red oxide of copper, and those interested are well pleased with the discovery. The com pany has three men doing the location work on the eleven new claims which they recently purcha sed from Goodwin & Hechtman. The main shaft is being sunk as rapidly as present conditions will permit and continues to look promising. The company expects soon to increase the force on the shaft and will sink it to considerable depth as speedily as a full force can do the work, and later on they intend to open up some of the other veins on the property.
 A recent communication from Con- gross Junction states that the survey Of the railroad line from that place westward to the Colorado river has been made, but that it will be some time before work in earnest is begun on tne construction. The road is one O. the most important ones in the country and would give Phoenix an almost direct outlet to the coast, be- 1 sides opening up one of the richest mineral and agricultural countries in the territory. Along the Santa Maria and Bill Williams Fork there are hun dreds of mining claims that could be cheaply developed and placed on a pay l ing basis if the road was put in, and 1 these mines have to now lie idle on ac- i count of their isola lation.-Mohav ve | Miner.
 About fifteen miles from Summit station on the Arizona and New Mex l ico railway, in the Horseshoe range o1 mountains, is an opal mine, operated about twenty years ago. The miners
 were killed by Indians in 1885, and the property has been neglected ever since 1 the miners evidently being convinced 1 through the killing Of their comrades
 that opals bring bad luck. Opals are i also found in the Grand Canyon o1 Arizona and in the Sierra Madre
 mountains of northern Mexico.
