 Chicago parties who have been ne gotiatIng with the Gibsons for their splendid copper property at the head or Pinto creek, wired Sam Gibson to come to Chicago to close the deal and he left for that city several days ago.

 The Manhattan Copper com. pany is maturing plans for the erec- tion of q large smelting plant down at the railroad track at Manhattan station. 4 German expert arrived in Troy last week to start up the con- centrating plant at the Davis shaft on the large body of wulfenite ore blocked out in the cOmpany's '9l mine. It is difficult to concentrate wulfenite, for while it is d molybdate of lead it is flasky and despite of its specific gravity being much greater than that of the gangue material forming it's matrix, does not settle rapidly in the currents on Concen- trating table. It takes an ex- perienced expert to concentrate it. Blade.
 Over $500, 900 has been taken from the Blue Dick mine, near this city. There Is plenty of ore now in sight in the mine. An eastern man named Barnes has q bond on the property and is said to have d company or ganized to work it. Jack Mcdonald. r. C. Wilder, J. l.. Davis and NJ. J. Burns own an extension of the Blue Dick and have been working same for the past two years. The extension is showing up well with from six feet to twelve feet of ore. which averages Sl5 per ton gold. silver and copper. principally gold and copper. At q point where the ledge is twelve feet wide it sampled S26 a ton. Car loads of ore have been shipped from the Blue Dick which returned 427 ounces silver and S2O per ton old.-Prescott Courier.
 Two furnaces of the old Dominion Copper Mining X Smelling company were blown in last week after d shut down of twenty-five days, due to the washouts on the c. V., G. X N. rail road, which prevented the shipping in of coke, oil and other supplies. As result of this suspension of Smelting the production of the Old Dominion for the current month will not exceed POO tons of blister copper. Although it is reported there are POO cars of coke for the old Dominion at LOrdsburg, the Southern Pacific is provokingly slow in delivering them to the G. ". c. X W. at Bowie. As soon as there is d sufficient supply of coke on hand the third furnace will be blown in and the plant run to its full capacity, in an endeavor to par tially make up the March deficiency.

 Jim Stowe. an employe of the Hill Hardware company. has just con- plcted q novel rocker for washing
 
 popular in this section. As distin- guishcd from the ordinary wooden rocker, this one is made from galvan- ized iron. and is so light that when you are through with it at one place you can easily lift 1t with one hand and carry it where you will. About four feet long. the bottom has num- Der of rifles and two stay bars, one which set across and impede the pro- gress of the dirt. yet allows the water to pass over. acting as dam. They can be raised at will. The box top of the other, each part being punched full of holes. When filled, the water is turned on. and perco- lating through the perforators car ries the dirt down to the second box. where it again pcrcolateS through to the run and passes across several pieces of burlap. Two steel or iron runners like those on old fashioned cradles, allow of the rocking motion. The idea of Mir. Stowe seemed so good to the Hill people that they asked him to construct one for them for exhibition purposes, and when ready will be operated in one of their large windowS.-Courier.
