Arizona Commereial.

\ lA Amster. of Boston managing engineer and director of the Arizona Commercial Copper company, who spent about ten days here in consul tatiOn with Superintendent Sultan re gardiug the future policy of the com pany's operations here. left on We'd uesday morning for Portland, Oregon. Alter seeing the sights of the fair he will visit Butte, Mont. before return ing to Boston. MT. Amster was much graLhed at the improvement i1 the company's mines since his last visit
 The Black Hawk is especially prom ising. The vein has been crosscut at surface for 45 feet and averages about per cent copper for the entire width. The ore carries a heavy ex- cess of iron, making it very desirable for smelting purposes. A shaft is now being sunk on the Black Hawk in ore and has attained depth of 115 feet of the same character as that in the open cut, improving steadily with depth The crosscut at the 100-foot has opened an ore body which assays per cent copper and ounces in sil- yer. It is the purpose of the company to continue sinking with the expec- tation of reaching sulphide ores at water level. The ledge on the Black Hawk is the finest body of iron ore in the Globe district and MT. Amster is confident that it will develop into one of the greatest mines of the sec tion. During his stay here Mir. Am ster made arrangements with the Old Dominion Copper company for the treatment of ores form the Arizona Commercial Commercial Copper com pany's properties and shipments to the shelter will begin as soon as the track can be laid from the Copper Hill mine to connect with the United Globe tramways at the Gray mine.

Of the great industries Of the state
and TO open up new possibilities ia
the cheap production Of gas, unless
the price Of crude oil should go toe
high.
Such a trip is Of the greatest i'm
portance to the students because il
gives them an insight into the
practical side Of manufacturing
which no amount of mere study
could supply. At the same time,
the work is done from the point of
view of an expert and specialist
and is far more valuable than if
done under other conditions.
Similar trips are taken from
the technical schools in. larger
cities with comparative ease. But
the A. and NJ. College is situated
so far from manufacturing centers
that it is not often possible to get
railroad rates low enough TO en-
able the students TO make the trip.
In this case the party took advan-
tage of the rates to the San An
tonic fair, which made the expen-
ses of the trip very reasonable, and
also enabled them to study the pro-
ducts and processes on exhibition
at the fair, some of which could
not have been seen in the state ex-
cept at the fair, but which will
probably be soon produced in
Texas and hence will be of import
ance to the students in practical
work. This is one Of the first trips
of this kind to be taken from the
A. and NJ. College, and has proved
in every way a success. II suit.
able railroad rates could have been
secured, the party would have Wis
tied works in Houston which they
had been kindly invited T. ex-
anime.
The professors IN charge and
the students appreciate the cordi-
aHty with which they were treated
and the pans taken in every case
to offer opportunities for thorough
ness in their work. Mr. Edwin
Chamberlain Of the Business Mems I
Club Of San Antonio did much to
make the trip successful and pleas
ant, and thanks are extended TO Mr..
Gambs Of the Lone Star Brewing
Co. for a crude oil burner, of which
he is the inventor, which he pre-
sented to the NJ +. department Of

SOWING TIE. BIBLE.

In Armenia the distribution of the Bible by
missionaries is especially difficult Yet the Book
is eagerly read by the natives when it falls into
their hands as may be gathered from this story,
told by one of the, Bible men: copy of the
Bible was given to a patient in the American
! Hospital, and by him carried to his home in
village Here an Armenian priest took it from
the man and having torn IL to pieces. threw 1t
into the street. A grocer picked it up and took
1t to his shop. where he began TO use 1t as
wrapping paper. So for time olives. cheese,
candles and other things sent forth from that
store were wrapped III pages upon which were
printed the Words OF Life
In this way one Bible was scattered ABOUT
through that village and was read by many
whose interest far aroused shat they
