H. +. Fry of Ell Paso smelter has
made a deal for all OF the dump of the
Superior mine that will stand shipping.
The dump is being worked over and
shipped out by the carload. This ore
was practically worthless when put on
the dump, as the value in it would
not pay for reducing it, but the ad-
vances that have been made in smelt-
ing are such that it now pays to han
die the ore. Undoubtedly there is
much ore in the mine that could now
be handled to a profit, II the owners
would only work it.

John T. Muir has connected his
ranch with W.. II. Marbles house by
telephone. The wire runs from his

it connects with the top wire Of the
fence, which it follows to Lordsburg,

meets the fence wire with Mr.. Marbles
house. The phones work finely and
conversation is carried on with ease,
but owing to lack Of insulation 1t is
probable there will be trouble with
the connections in wet weather, but
we do not have enough wet weather
in this section to materially interfere
with the phones very long at a time.
