 The Globe & Arizona Development company expect to start development work on their property as soon as the weather clears. W. s. Sultan, when lin Fl Paso last week, purchased for the development company. three mine lcars. five tons of rails. blacksmith ling outfit, drill steel. etc. Work will be started on three of the develop ment company's claims. at points fe- lorable for opening good ore bodies. Last week the ore body in the crosscut at the bottom of the S5-foot shaft. on the Great Eastern mine, was measur- ed and sampled and found to be IS fleet wide and to average 4.6 10 per cent copper. The Great Eastern shaft is on the big iron ledge that is being developed on the Black Hawk claim by the Arizona Commercial Copper Company. and is only about 100 feet from the open cut on the latter claim where the showing Is so fine.
 Two furnaces of the Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelling company were blown in on Tuesday morning after shut down of twenty-five days. due to the washouts on the G. V. G. & N. railroad. which prevented the lshipping in of coke, oil and other sup plies. As a result of this suspen- sion of smelling the production of the l. Old Dominion for the current month will not exceed 200 tons of blister cop per. Although it is reported here there are 200 cars of coke for the Old Dominion at Lordsburg. the Southern Pacific is provokingly slow in deliver ing them to the G. " G. & N. at Bowie. The first five cars of coke were re- ceived this morning, and it is expect ed that there will be daily arrivals thereafter. As soon as there is a sui lfcient supply of coke on hand the third furnace will be blown in and that plant run to its full capacity, in an endeavor to partially make up the March deficiency.
 J. W. Blair, a well-known Bisbee mining man, arrived this morning. accompanied by a gentleman from Denver. They will look at mining property here, if the weather permits. l J. c. Erman. until recently superin- ltendent of the Tri-Bullion Mining Icompany came up from San Carlos this morning. MT. Erman is negoti- lating a deal for weil-known copper Iproperty in this district.
 MT. Carpenter has taken a bond on the Copper Bell and adjoining claims situated on the San Carlos strip, not for from the Tri-Bullion Company's mine. The owners of the claims bonded are O. W. Allison, R. s. Knowles, A. M. Lewis and Flaherty & Manning

 The shaft on the Whelan and Sidnor and Stearns property, at the head of Pinto creek. in which ore was struck Iseveral weeks ago, now looks better than ever, rich glance and oxide ore towering the whole width of the shaft. having been encountered a few days Iago at a depth of 150 feet. The own iers have ordered a new S5O-foot cable, isnu viii continue sinking
 Chicago parties who have been ne lgotiating with the Gibsons for their splendid copper property at the head of Pinto creek. wired Sam Gibson to lcome to Chicago to close the deal, and he left for that city several days ago. lit is understood that the bulk of the purchase price will be paid in cash and the balance in stock. The asking price for the property is $250, ,000, and 1.-the Gibson's have refused to accept anythiEg less.

 | C. F. ,MacGregor and wife. of Kan Isas City. Mo, were visitors here this week. Mir. MacGregor is a stock holder in the Inspiration Mining com pany, and he spent some time with General Manager J. D. Coplen inspect ing the property. and was highly pleas ed with it. The Inspiration ore body is over GOO feet wide. and averages l5 per cent copper. It is an ideal concentrating ore. and undoubtedly the largest proposition of the kind in the southwest. A party of Inspira- ton directors is expected here about
