 CHEAPER COPPER-According to information received by The RepubIi- can from Boston. a mining engineer of that city has invented a process for the reduction of copper which it is stated. will almost revolutionize that industry. It is claimed that it will bring the price of reduction of cop per from ore to ingot below three cents a pound. Experiments nave shown the process to be effective It is further stated that it is to be ap- piled to the low grade ores of this territory, probably in the Globe dis trict.
 AN ERROR OF PLAcE-It was stated by The Republican yesterday morning that the ladies of the Relief Corps would give a spread tomorrow evening at the Monihon hall just be- fore the installation of the officers of the G. A. R.. The place will be in stead the regular meeting place of the c. A. R. and of the corps. which is Veterans hall. The business of the Arizona department of the c. A. R. will be begun in the morning and the spread will take place at three o'clock in the afternoon since the hall will be occupied that night by the Daugl- tersO Rebekah. Immediately ditch the spread the installation will take place.

Those wlo had tried it had found out that it would grow here as it never grew anywhere else, but little of it was ever raised for the market for there was no market to speak of for it. This year several farmers have gone into the business on a rather large scale and inquiries have already been received as to the success which has attended their ef- forts. A very profitable market has already been opened for the vegetable The sandy soil south of the city seems to be especially adapted to the growth of asparagus. The stalks are larger than many person had ever seen. A lot was brought in yesterday, some of it of such size that three of the stalks weighed a pound, and many of them were more than an inch in diameter. This asparagus sells readily at eight cents a pound. One of these stalks will spring up in fOrty-eight hours, so some idea may be gained of the inn
