 D. w.

 Postmaster Joe McCaoe, of Bisbse, and Lee Snodderly, the well known mining man, were callers at the Pros pector office today. They, along with Del Lewis, are owners of what is known as the Late Acquisition group of mining claims, in Bisbee. The property Is situated between the Sagi- nav and Junction, both of which have copper ore, and 1t looks liks they will not need to run for office again. On the contrary they are apt to bs so well fixed shortly that they can afford to run away from it.-Prospector.
 The Calumet & Bisbee Mining con- pady, of Bisbse, failed 70 make it's sec. ond payment of sS5. 0)0 on the proper ty, and forfeited all of it's rights About 20 per cent of the original pur- chas, has been paid, but the treasury of the company had become almost depleted with the developm mt work prosecuted for the past eighteen mon ths, and the company was unable to secure additional funds for the sec ond payment and for further develop ment Quite a number of the new companies of Bisbae have failed to meet their obligations, aud have lost their holdings, which is heavy loss to stockholders.
 Reports from Paradise say that the Chirlcahua Development company continues to gain depth steadily in it's main working shaft, being at the pres ent time in little over 300 feet. The objective point for which this comp. ny is working is the 300 foot leyel, where it will start it's crosscut. At the Mars shaft, about 2000 feet distant ia a westerly direction from it's main works, the company has double cyl. finder, single drum hOisting plant, a nd is sinking an incline prospecting shaft of one and one-halt compartments. The shaft was started in ore on the surface in the vein and has followed the footwall. The shaft has been in ore all the way down, and continues at a depth of about 300 feet The ore is a heavy iron sulphide. and carries com. mercial values in copper.

 The Detroit Copper company has placed a new hoisting engine at their Arizona Central mine. The increase in production at this great deposit of native copper made the new engine a necessity to handle the ore.-Leader.
 The reports being received from the development work being done on the Chase Creek company property con- tinueS to be favorable in the extreme. Supt. I N. Stevens is continuing the long tunnel that is being driven to h. tersect the famous Longfellow deposit and every foot cut leads to the belief that this will soon be accomplished. The tunnel which is over 800 feet long has already cut through several good leads aad should the company decide to now commence mining, over loo tons of ore could be covered daily. The dumps contain ore that will aver age as high as 10 per cent and it will only be a matter Of short time when the Mo enci-Clifton district will have another large smelter within It's con fines. The Shannon and Arizona smelterS are being now crowded 70 their capacity h treating the ore that is brought to them and an addition such as the Chase Creek company will make would be such that they could not handle 1t.
