BENSON.

Charles Perry, well known in Bis bee. but nov residing in Benson was in the city yesterday. From him we learn that the new smeiter has been warmed ID a few times, aGc expects to blow in about the 1st. Its first work will probably be D work the old slaS dump ever. a large part Of which has been shipped away with a good prott. An examination of the dump discloSes frequent specimens of blister copper, and an assay demonstrated that half the values were carried off in tae slag. The people are confident that the new smelter vii work successfully. The company is already collecting stock pile. and ere is beginning to come ih from the surrounding mines. all of which looks like business. X recent strike of some magnitude is reported from the Rincons. Perry said II was made by two brothers. but he could not remember the name. Samples or the ore in this case he stated wouli run as high s 80 per cent copper

CALUMET & ARIZONA.

r occurs that the Copper Queen owns a narrow strip between the Cal. Umet & Arizona, and the Duluth Re gently drifting has been in progress from the cid Calumet property to the new Permission having been obtain et 10 drift across the Copper Queen strip. the work is in progress at that Identical point. and a fine ore body has been encountered on this strip. which of course means that the ore extends from the Calumet & Arizona to the Duluth. and practically settles the question of a mine on the last named property
 It is remarkable how the luck of fine Calumet people seems to be com mensurate with their pluck Ever since their advent into the camp. their good fortune has been phenomenal wkicb fact may be largely credited to good management and tireless. fear 'ess work.
 They SO after a proposition as if they had a definite guarantee from the occult powers that rule the plan cts and al that thereon dwell T. is gratifying to see such measureless en- tterprise rewarded.

GOLD TREASURE.

R. v. Daniels is working like a beaver preparing for the mill and other i'm provements on the Gold Treasure. Some of the head men of the company are expected on the ground at any time. when the plan for the reduction plant will begin to take definite form.
 There is all kinds of ore on the dumps, and when the mill is completed it will not be necessary to break ore before commencing reduction work.

THE WILDCAT.

The wildcat is no more Like the tra ltional canine, he has had his day Polii clans in Arizona have been bold enough to assert from the stump that If poor p.ospector" can salt a mine on capital. they have moral right to do so. Outside of tJe inherent . s- honesty Jf the transa' ,.na iac N.!.I "S who salts Q mine, wl.ia h. rains some individual acvantaCe from the transaction. Queers every other pres pector in the district. the county ani the territory. He gives the mines of the territory black eye. he preju- dices the interests of ten thousand men whe-e he ans 2 few dollars for himself
 Thank Heaven. after so long a time. all the deep. dark sinuosities of his diabolical system have been explored and laid bare to the public The re- cent conviction e Ignacious Dudley sounds the de kreu to the wretch ed system in Arizona. And when it is properly buried. instead of an epitapn at its head. there should be inscribed a solemn arraignment of it's perfdious methods. It should be arraigned in the name of every brawny iaborer. who is willing to work for the mainte- nance and education of his family. IL should be arraigned in the name of ev- cry little child which toddles to school wfh its slate and school books under its arms. It should be arraigned in ;he name of every faithful mother who sootheS her little one. while her noble husband strikes for every thing that is needful unto them. and who pa- tiently sings, as his hammer rings. down in the deep biacn stope." Ana now that the wild cat. a few speci- mems of which still hang around Ari- zona. has been thoroughly aired in all the breadth and depth and density Of its unparalleled villainy let Bisbee congratulate itself thta il has never been the theatre of its operations.

 Michoacan.
 A number Of Kansas City bankers are negotiating for the Fl Secretaric mine of Anastacion Perez. A cave and encountering water caused a ces sation of work some years ago. before which time it had been a paying prop erty. IL is understood that the mine is being exported by mining engi- neer from Chihuahua. and on this re- port the sale will depend

 A private letter received here from P. T Gedney living in Mesa Grande. California. contains the information that his brother. Claro F. Gedney, a well known mining engineer. died in Culiacan, Sin. about the middle of September last. The deceased was quite well known in Chihuahua min ing circles.

 The Monterey News says the San work soon on its railroad from Lii mares to it's mines, and a great many mining men have gone into that sec ton.

 A syndicate of St. Louis capitalists is said to have purchased the Torres and Prietas railroad which runs from Minas Prietas to Torres. a distance of 30 kilometers. It is said that the new company contemplates extending the road to port on the Pacific. fol- lowing the Yaqui valley as nearly as possible The extension of the road will be of great advantage to a rich mining country.
 A story comes from Santa Barbara Cal. that Jesus Figueroa a deserter from the Mexican army during the re- bellion against Maximilian. has recent ly redisscovered near Moctezuma. Sonora. a rich gold mine found while in hiding near that place twenty-five years ago.

THE SM FILTER.

ENery thing about the old smalter Wou!d cad 10 the conclusion that her days are numbered The new slag dump is nearly rounded up to its ut. most capacity. No improvements or repairs are being made except those oi most urgent and temporary ,har- acteT The big scrap pile on the old slag cump is being augmented every hour by worn out parts of machinery that will never be replaced.
 Very soon. the dismantled old plant. will cease to be the hottest producer oI it's size on the coast. and will be numbered with the ancient land marks Of BlsDee's early history The man. moth new pant al Douglas will be able to treat all the ores the company can produce. and if il can not it will De enlarged, for il is evident that it is totally impracticable to continue the old plant much longer in commission. Blsbee has just arrived at that stage in her history when such a course is entirely desirable
 If a man were consigned to the in fernal regions, il is perfectly natural Ter him to figure cut that he couldn't nave good heath anywhere else. and or this principle. most of our popula- tlon attribute the absence of contag ions to the presence Of sulphur smoke, but 1t is likely that when the great change comes with q clean atmos- phere. when unsullied sunshine jumps all over its self for joy. and the morn Ing air untainted with fumes and un- laden with Hue dust comes to bless our population, and thousand more well paid miners are a work breaking down ore for the big smelter beow, We will all agree that the town is bet ter oil, the company is better of anG the men are better of.
 The contemplated diamond drill en- terprise at the Copper Glance is apt to unearth a revelation.

LOOK OUT FOR PAINT.

How often have We contemplated this familiar sign? Then We pass Il up without a second thought. Alter all. what does it mean in Bisbee? The smelter smoke, the oil smoke, the Hue dust. the look out for the pain, signs. all have a significance. Then in our streets it is difficult to dodge ex- press wagons. truck wagons. hacks dTays and a hundred other vehicles. until il has been suggested that Q turn table for wagons be put in some where.
 After ali. what do all these incom- veniences signify. It means that Bis bee is the hottest spot on the map. It means that there IS an abundance ol employment at liberal wages and easy hours for the hundreds of willing hands in the territory What a luxury Il would be to come down town in some of the dead camps of Arizona and spoil a new suit of clothes every day in collision with fresh paint on a new building Who cares for the clothes when the money is coming in? The Copper Queen with her 2,0O0 men at an average of $500 per day. the Calumet and Arizona with 1,20O more with even a higher average. then a score Of development companies pay ing s4.00 per eight hour shift for sim ing. make pay roll which would set some communities wild No won der they can afford signs of fresh paint no wonder you can smell the paint all over the camp. the situa- uon justifies it and demands it.
 Fresh paint is another name for red hot business in Bisbee. and we wei come it with all its dips. -rurs ard angles it is the outcome cf the 5p!eh- die local conditions and nothing more
