 With the assurance of 250 ton smelter near Tucson, with all the ap- pliances to do custom work, there need be no alarm about gathering the ore to treat, provided the expense of sending ore is not too high. The preference is to smelt their ores at home, rather than ship at higher cost.-Star.
 Thomas F. Cole and associates in the Calumet and Arizona and other Bonanza circle properties of Bisbee, have acquired the Taylor property at Globe.

 The Phoenix Gazette says that the express companies are the biggest robbers in Arizona, and suggests that the next legislature deal them out a little misery. Why not get the board of equalization after them? If a non producing mine in Graham county are assessed at S5OOO each it would seem that express companies, making all kinds of money, ought to be on the tax rolls. They always demand a considerable amount of protection from local officers, and when a rob- bery occurs heavy expenses are oc- cured in prosecuting the criminals.
 The Phoenix Enterprise says that it is the opinion of Redmond Too hey, the well known contractor, that in the Carrigan strike on Big Will Hams fork, another TonOpah has been discovered, and that within the next few months that famous district in Nevada will have to take second place to the new Arizona camp. Toohey said that while he was there he talked with many miners and l prospectors who had been at both l places and they stated that the indi- cation for rich district were even | greater than those around Tonopah. | When Toohey left Wenden. on the | line of the Arizona & California road, | a large number of prospectors were | outfitting there for the new district, others were at Salome for the same | purpose.
 The Old Dominion during the month | of October produced 3,17O,OO0 pounds of blister copper 99 1-2 fine, which is a new high record, exceeding the output of May of this year, the pre- vious record month, by 85,00O pounds. This accomplishment is the more gratifying by reason of the fact that the increase came largely from ores supplied blythe company's own mines. The management is to be congratu- lated on the splendid achievement, which places the Old Dominion well to the front among the producing companies of the southwest, and probably second in Arizona, being only by the Copper Queen. The output for the past ten months is 23,015,000. Estimating November and December at three million each ! will place the production for the year at over 29,000,000 pounds of copper, which will certainly be a splendid showing
