 will require 50 tons of ore daily.
 Thirty men are working and a foe
 showing is being made in the lower
 levels of the mines. At the 10O-foo
 level fine body or vein of good grade
 sulphideS is being developed which
 gives rich value. tAll the ore which
 is being extracted will average from :
 to per cent copper and carries gold
 and silver values which make high
 grade ore and will make rich copper

 One of the Salt Lake City directors
 of the Gold Road Mining and Explor-
 ation company has been giving out
 statements regarding the recent finds
 in the property that have a roseate
 hue. He stated that the net earnings
 of the mine are 5000 per day. On the
 west of the shaft, at the 400 foot level
 there is exposed 9.foOt breast that
 gives average values of $19.6 and on the east the ore is 10 feet wide and
 averages $ll,59. The headings at the
 mill show $l4 A lot of ore weighing
 SIS pounds brought s30S0, while many
 lots showed values from 5000 down.
 The company is more than pleased
 with the developments spaceof the lease
 holders, as it proves conclusively that
 the ore-bearing vein, together with
 its high values, is almost continuous
 the whole length of the company

 Count Mentschikoff has just come in from visit to the Bradshaw moun- tains, where he Is engaged in mining. He brought in some fine specimens of rich strike which has recently been made in the New Jersey mine. It was only short time since that very rich ore was encountered in this mine on the hanging wall. The present strike is very similar to the former one, but was encountered on the foot wall of the ledge. The ore is equally as rich as the former ore body. | Messrs. Mendenhall and White, of | Duluth, who are interested in this | property, as we'll as that of the Rapid | Transit company, accompanied Count Mentschikoff on his recent visit there, aud they also employed w. J. Martin to make thorough examination of both properties. Mir. Martin has sub- mitted very exhaustive and favor able report On both properties. Pres. colt Journal Miner.
 Geo. B. Upton, of the Orc Grande Mining company, is in Prescott for a day or two on business, and he in- forms the Journal. Miner that the test runs with the stamp mill have proven to be so satisfactory that the company decided to increase the size of the mill to 10 stamps, and the work of installing the additional stamps is now in progress. In order to have sufficient water for the 10 stamps it was necessary for the company to in- stall pumping station in the box canyon of the Hassayampa river and run a pipe line from there to the mine. The distance from the pump ing station to the mill is about one and one half miles, but the water only has to be pumped under pres. sure for about l6O0 feet, raising the water in that distance between 300 aud 400 feet From this point it runs to the mill by gravity. Mir. Upton says the property is in the finest shape possible and when the addition to the mill has been completed the property will be in position to commence pro ducing the yellow bars of bullion reg ularly.
 Inside of two weeks the big Copper Queen smelters in Bisoee, which have been operating for over twenty years, will be silenced forever. Shelter Adamson is now, and | mas been for some time, gradually dis. mantling the smelters at Bisbee by | piece-meal. Az much of the appar- atus as can be dispensed with is being | torn down. Part of this is going to | Douglas, while the rest is,being stored at Bisbee. At the present time the two Douglas smelters in operation are not turning out their full capacity of copper owing to the newness of the machinery, and numerous small changes that will have to be made be- fore all the parts are in perfect work ing order. The Bisbee smelters have been handling about 800 tons of ore each day, and will continue to turn out copper until the Douglas plant reaches somewhere near it's capacity It is not likely that this will be done inside of two weeks. Much of the slag forming the old dump at Bisbee car
