A report comes from Dudleyville to the effect that the diamond drill now in operation in the lower ba. sin of the Deer creek coal fields, under the management of George B. Chittenden has passed through a vein of good coal five feet in thickness. Florence Blade.
 As an example of the advance ment made in the more economic and perfect extraction of values from ores within the last decade, may be mentioned the fact that the old slag dumps in Bisbee, aggre- gating millions of tons, are being shipped to the Douglas smelter, where they are worked over at a profit.
 The blowing in of the shelter at N e C d l es has had stimulating effect on mining operations in that section. Ore is coming in from properties closely adjacent to Nee dies at a rate that is surprising, showing that many good claims have lain dormant simply because there was no nearby market for the ores and freight charges to distant smelters were too high to allow a fair profit to the owners.
