 A meeting of local Standard and Standard )nsolidated shareholders was held at Library hall Monday night last, which was attended by large number. A report was read by the committee which visited the mines, which was complimentary to Superln' tendent Rosecrans, and was also most encouraging as to all the properties examined by the committee. Mr. Ross, president of the companies, was present, and was questioned at leng' h as to the condition of the companios $ and the properties. A committee was appointed to secure counsel tc ascer' tain whether or not the company had the right to sell or dispose of any of its holdings without first consulting all stockholders. The meeting ad- burned to meet at later date.-Era
 The Boston News. Bureau says: Al though the stock of the Arizona Cop per company is practically all held in Scotland, considerable interest at. taches to the company in this country owing to It's prominence as large and profitable producer of copper. There are good grounds for the statement that the Amalgama ted Copper people have been securing secret reports as to this company with view to pur- chasing. The stock, however, is well scattered abroad and unquestionably the Amalgamated would have to pay a large price for U. ca capital of $3,500,0 ,000, it is paying dividends of over $l, ,000, ,000 per year. The mines of the Arizona Copper company, all located in the Clifton district, fur nished last year 500,000 tons of ore, from which it recovered 2S,000, ,000 pounds of refined copper. This pro- duction is being maintained this year. last months product being 2,400,0 900 pounds. The Arizona Copper company works the same character of ores as the shannon and the Detroit copper companies. It's mines adjoin those of the Shannon company. It's shipping ore last year averaged about 1 per cent copper, and it's concentrating ore nine -tenths of its product) about 3! per cent copper. There are no gold and silver values to speak of in the Clifton ores.

J. II Johnson has opened up splen- td body of ore on the Bryan mine. Stockton Hill. The ore carries values ! 10 gold, silver aud copper.
 Heavy lead ore Is uow being taken from the Star Spangled Banner mine, | stockton Hill. The work at depth in l lhe mine is showing up some excellent ore, the values running well in gold and silver.
 William Mack up from the Ruby ,Uup of mines, near Parker, last night. It is reported that great strike 1f rich ore has been made in the prop. rty, but its extent has not yet been earned. The mine has been producer i phsnomenally rich ore.
 Orders for the starting up of the GOlden Gem mine were received this week and seyeral men went out Thurs. day to go to work in the property. It presumed that milling plant will te erected at once near the mine and that ores from the Gem and several other properties will be tested.
 The KiDgman Volcanic Tufa con- Fany has been organized Tn Los An geleS, with an office in kingman. Its lurpose is to utilize the material from The Metcalfe quarry west of town for building and other purposes. It has been found adaptable, when ground and mixed with oil, for an elastic waterproof paint for cement work and masonry and the new company will push it for this purpose.
 The Gold Road company expects to 'cceive several carloads of heavy ma. chnery for the mill within the next lew days. Considerable of the old machinery in the mill is to be re- placed with newer and better ma chimes and tis among the possibilities that an entirely new plant will be put ih when the present plant is Cutgrown oy the mine. At least i've years ore now blocked out in the property and within the next twelve months a Ugger and better plant will be re 4ulTed tO handle the output.

OUR NEIGHB0R FINAL
Timing News Reported by the Ari-
 zona Blade

Fred w. Pike, who is in charge of The Pinal King Gold Mining com pany' 's Mineral Creek properties, was visitor at tue county seat Monday and called at the Blade sanctum to make arrangements for the publica- ton of application for patents to the company's mines. They have some promising property and with the rail- road now completed to Kelvin will probably resume operations soon. The property lies but a short distance from the railroad.
 Charlie Wolffaad Dick Troxel came down from the Silver Bell camp Mon day after working there thirty days. Charlie Wolff informed the Blade that the day befJre he left the south cross. cut from the Columbia winzs had crossed the Silver Bell vein and uucov. cred in the latter about six feet of sol i'd galena ore (sulphurets of leadl. This crosscut is aoDut 100 feet below the frat level on the Silver Bell lead and demonstrates that the splendid shoot of high-grade ore found in this 100. | foot level continues downward.
 Another carload of ore from tne Su- perior mines is at the Florence depot and will be shipped this week. It will average about 36 per cent copper and runs well in gold, the average value oi both metals will run close to 500 peT ton. This Is about the average value of the great copper ore body now ex posed and blocked out on the first level of the Superior mine. This ore body is remarkable both as to it's ex tent and the uniformity of it's high grade values it carries throughout its entirety. Manager Seiboth state, that it is the largest high-grade ort body he has yet seen, except one ir Cripple Creek, Colo, and he is con tirmed in this statement by miners whC have worked in all the great mines O the west.

 erals are wolframite, hubnerite and scheelite. The test for tungsten is to boil the finely powdered mineral with mixture of four parts hydrochloric acid and one part nitric acid for two hours in porcelain dish, when, if the ore contains tungsten, yellow spots of tungsten trioxlde will show.
 When blasting fuse does not burn regularly, or is found improperly wound, it should be returned to the manufacturer. On pothing else does the safety from accidents to the mi. ners depend to so great an extent as upon the quality of the fuse. No at tempt should be made to improve it by wrapping it with tape, greasing it or otherwise fixing it. It should be re- fused if not perfect,
 Copper ore occurs frequently in quartz porphyry, but 1t also occurs abundautly in other rocks, notably in limestone and in amphibolite schist, mica schist, granite and in many other kinds of rock. It is a mistake to search for mine in certain kind of rock, and with prejudice against other kinds, for in this way valuable mineral deposits may overlooked. The am punt of annual assessment work to be performed on uppaten ted mining is determined by the cost of labor in the camp or dstric. where the claim is located. Ten feet of work is sufficient if it is actually worth $l0 per foot to break and remove the rock In many cases 1t can be done for one- half or even one fourth of this amount.
 Mining claims owned by two or more co-partners may be partioned in 70 seg. regated parcels, if the co-owners can agree upon what is considered an equa- ble division of the property 1; but gen. orally, owing to the unequal distribu. ton of ore in the veins or deposits, both in quantity and quality, such agreement can not be reached, and the only satis. actory way to then divide the property is by sale and division oi the proceeds.
 The rate of progress in shaft sink ing cannot be anticipated unless s shaft has been sunk in the vicinity and the rate of sinking observed Many shafts do not exceed rate o two feet per day owing to hardness ot the ground and amount of water tc be handled.

 Chalcopyrite of the puIest kind is mixture of copper sulpbide and iror sulphide. Often the ore appears t, consist of single mineral (coppe sulphide), with no impurities but un der the microscope the iron sulphid IS always easily discernible as a me chanical and not chemical admix ture. Quartz in fine grains is also dis seminated throughout the ore in par tcles invisible to the unaided eye. l is due to these foreign admixtures tha chalcopyrites has greatly varyin value.

At the close of the war when Ffiman's
listment expired he married and settled down
in Brooklyn, obtaining employment as a rgger
in the Morse Iron Works. Funstrom remained
in the service and whenever his ship came to
the Navy Yard he would spend great deal Of
his time ct his friends home in Sards-st. Soon
after Christmas he came to port with the Mas
sachusetts. and. his enlistment expiring. he had
since spent most Of his time al Fiimans house
living there like one of the family.
Fiman said last night that he had never seen
. the slightest evidence that everything was not
right in his little family. He had always
thought Funstrom one of the finest OF fellows
and would have trusted him with everything he
owned. And, he said he had never rad the
slightest cause to believe that his wife was un-
true. They had never quarrelled in all their
married life. and she had seemed to be as happy
and contented as could ne wished. He had seen
no change since Funstrom had been living with
