shipping grade assaying over 30 per cent copper. Last week new stope of chalcopyrite ore, 30 feet wide, was opened. All the ore from the Gibson mine goes to the Old Dominion smel ter. the company paying the highest price for it. There are several thou sand tons of ore on the Gibson dumps that runs to 12 per cent copper, and Messrs. Gibson and Henderson are now planning the erection of a con centrator to treat this product.
 The Warrior Copper company, un der the management of E. M. White has also become a regular shipper tc the Old Dominion. and is continually opening up larger ore bodies on the property at Black Warrior, which |; year ago was regarded as of little value. The ores are improving as de velopment proceeds, and some fine glance ore was recently encountered The company will sink a working shaft as soon as the site for it can be determined.
 A New Leaching Process. The Keystone Copper Company wose mine is near the Warrior, and which has for several years been |; l shipper of ore. recently installed an experimental teaching plant with cleo | trolytic process for precipitating the copper. It is said to be a success but the melting furnace was built too small and another of larger capacity will be erected.
 The Inspiration mine, which lies ad jacent to the Live Oak and Keystone i is regarded by competent mining men as one of the coming big mines O. Globe district. There are two or three million tons of low grade leach | ing ores near the surface, and also @ very large amount of concentrating ore in the upper tunnels on the Inspi ration, while in the lower workings there is considerable glance ore. J D. Coplen, who owns a large interest in the company, is in charge, but the mine is idle at present, as a majority of the stock of the company is tied III in the Develin and Wilder estates at Topeka, Kansas.
 1 Duluth investors
 Thos. F. Cole and party, who werc here recently, have been followed by Lewis Rouschleau, a Duluth capital. ist, who has been identified with c. & A. projects, and John Uno Sebenius an engineer for the Steel Trust. H B. Hovland came with them. and a day later Hoval A. Smith put in an appear. ance. Rouchleau and other Duluth parties have options on large mum. | Der of mining claims here, and have also made many locations. There seems to be little doubt but that they are working in conjunction with the Cole interest. H. B. Hovland is still here, and a rumor comes from relia. ble source that the c. & A. deal here will take definite shape within few days.
 I Nothing has developed regarding the rumored consolidation of the Cole interests and Arizona Commercial Copper Company. The latter certain ly has q fine property capable of large production, but Wm. A. Paine and Nj L. Amster, who control Arizona Com mercial. value the property so highly | that it is believed to be doubtful if their terms are acceptable to the Cole interests
 O. D. Has Increase of Water. ! The flow of water in the Old Do minion mine suddenly increased early last Friday morning, and in two O. three hours had risen to and overrun the 12th level. It looked for time as though the pumps on the 12tf would be submerged, but happily such disaster was prevented, running three large balers in the shaft, and these and the pumps held the water at the 12th level. The water had been lowered today to within 25 fee: of the 1fth, the deepest level of the mine. A second pump station is be. ing cut on the 10th level. where ar other big Prescott pump vii be install ed. At the smel:er three srrnaces are in blast, making . fair output oi
