 The development being done in the Morenci'Clifton districts speaks well for the confidence mine owners have in their properties. All over the dis trict men are employed in the work of sinking shafts and tunnelling in to the earth in an effort to discover greater quantities of paying ores. Many of the properties are already past the prospect stage and are paying produc- CTS, while others are giving great promise of developing into producers. The district is underlaid with exten- sive deposits of the precious metals and 1t only needs little perseverance, and the expenditure of capital to bring them to the surface aud double the already great production of mineral wealth from our mines. - Morenci Leader.
 The reported and repeated state. ment that Col. w. C. Greene had once more resigned the presidency of the Greene Consolidated Copper company has received its quietus at the hands Of no less parsonage than Mark L. Sperry, a member of the board of directors and vice-president of the company. Mir. Sperry is quoted in La Canauea Herald as saying: DO you know that Colonel Greene could not resign? Positively could not. We who have large interests in this prop erty would not permit him to. We would not entertain the idea for moment. As statement of fact, there Is not corporation in existence in which the officials, directors aud stockholders are more perfectly in ac- cord than iD the Greene Consolidated Copper company. Colonel Greene has the implicit confidence of every inter- est of ouC company There is noth. ing ambiguous in that language.
 Mark Murphy, the we'll known mine foreman, is in from the Orc mine, MinnehAha Flat. He has charge of the underground workings of the mine ana says it is frst-clasS property. The double compartment shaft is now down 900 feet and she ore has in- creased in value with depth. The ore bodies are from five to eight feet wide, the ore Is free milling and will aver age s6 ton gold. Water has slightly increased in the workings as depth has been attained A force of 9 men is at present employed, but a larger force is to be put on and drifting as well as sinking will be pushed along. The property is very pletely equip ped, both for development and for working ores. There are two mills, one Chilean, the other a 20 stamp. They have combined capacity of 200 tons a day. Mr. Murphy says the Gro is one of the big mines of the country, that when plenty of ore is blocked out those mills will be started upon a steady run. The Orc mine Is located l5 miles from Prescott miles south of Grown King. It was formerly known as the BOaz, being named after a gentleman Of that name who came here some years ago from Texas, and who endeavOred to work the property. but got into some sort of legal tangle He, however, was an enthusiastic be- liever in the future greatness of the property.
 The development work throughout the entire group of properties in the Calumet & Arizona sisterhoOd con. tinues with unremitting vigor. There are probably B or 10 points of attack in this development. But the prin- cipal ones are the sinking of the Oliver shaft on the Calumet x Arizona pro- perty; the driving of drift from the Junction shaft to connect with drift from the Calumet & PittSburg shaft; the sinking of the Pittsburg & Duluth shaft; the driving of crosscut from the PittSburg & Dulth shaft into the Hope clam of the Calumet x Arizona; the driving of drift from the Lake Superior x Pittsburg No. ? shafC to- ward the Pittsburg & Duluth shaft; the driving of crOsscut from this drift which will explore across the en- tire property of the Pittsburg & Du- luth.
