CFrom Globe Silver Belt.)


 Ore hauling from the mines in the western part of the district, which was interrupted for a few days by the heavy rainfall, has been resumed, al though the roads in places are still soft. Two outfits are reported begged, one on Miami fiat and the other some distance west of that point. There are now more teams hauling ore to the Old Dominion smelter than at any time heretofore. Forty teams are hauling from the Live Oak mine, the Gibson Mining Company has seven teen teams, and there are eight or ten hauling from Black Warrior, the Ge- neva and other mines.
 The Old Dominion Is now in much better shape than it has been at any tune since the fire in the Interloper shaft on February 20. Nearly the full complement of men are at work i'll the mine and all the levels have been opened. Shaft work is progressing rapidly, and the winze sunk from the tunnel in the lime quarry will be completed to the third level within a few days, which should create a strong down draught and improve the venti- lation of the mine. The new c shaft has reached a depth of so feet and is going down four or five feet a day.

ARIZONA MINERS ASSN
Secretary AkerS Sends Out Circular Letter to All
 Members.
EXECUTIVE BOARD WILL
 FIX NEW DATE LATER.

C. H. Afers, secretary of the Ari- zona Miners Association, has mailed | to all members of the association a | letter telling of the postponement of the first annual meeting of the asso- ciation to some future date this fall. This action was taken at a meeting | of the Executive Committee held two weeks ago and another meeting will be held in June to fix a definite date. In his letter to the members the secre- tary says:
 Dear sir: 1t had been hoped that We would all get together at the Bis bee convention, and lay plans for the further success and continued growth of the Arizona Miners Association. Unfortunately that is impossible, as is explained n the following statement:
 To the executive board of the Arizona Miners Association-Gentle men: We, the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Bis5ee, have suddenly awakened to the fact that we are in no way prepared to entertain your convention, which is called 10 meet April 9. Our streets are being paved, consequently are in a deplorable con Gition. Our hotel accommodations are already taxed to the utmost. If you will postpone, and hold your con yentlon here this fall, We will give the attendance royal welcome, a grand and good time, and will do everything in our power to make the meeting a success, and improve and encourage the association in every way possible. We believe in the as-
  prove a great good to the whole Of Arizona. By the early fall We expect to have very much better hotel ao- commodations.'
 (Signed)
 "BISBEE CHAMBER COMMERCE.
 AS soon as the executive commit tee decides upon, the date for the fall convention, duo notice will be given. In some respects We will gain, as there will be longer time to prepare the program and arrange for the gath ering of large number of those in- terested in all branches of mining.
 Tn the meantime, let us all push together for the success of the as sociation. Already some of the ob- jects are being attained, but ill or der to give the organization the de- sired weight and influence, more mem hers are needed. Let everyone try to get at least one friend to join and so fill the ranks. We are all inter- ested in the movement to advance the legitimate mining interests of Ari- zona.' Tn no better way can this be accomplished than through the Ari- zuna Miners Association. All boost for Greater Arizona.

FIRST SHELTER WAS
 BELOW CHA CITY.

To correct a statement that the first smelter operated in Arizona was an adobe plant located midway be tween Tucson and the old San Xavier Mission operated by Thomas Hughes the Florence Blade says:
 The first smelter operated in Ari- zona was located at the old Ajo mine forty miles southeast of the present Gila City, and was operated by the late P. H. Brady and associates prior to the organization of the territorial government, or just shortly after the Gadsden purchase. It was also an adobe furnace. Wm Jennings also operated an adobe shelter at the old Stiles ranch, just across the river from Florence, prior to 1873, and was still operating it at the time of the discovery of the famous Silver King by Mason, Copeland, Began and Long and made the first assay of the Silver King ore. The discoverers supposed their find was lead till Jennings told them it was maleable silver"

 derS in Field.
DENN- ARIZONA RATED
 AS GOOD INVESTMENT.
(By Frank j. Graf.)

Bisbee. April 6.-The close of the market shows some advance in several stocks, especially in Calumet & Pitts burg, Warren & American. Calumet X Arizona continues to weaken of, and at the close was offered aI $i15, with no bidders. Calumet & Pitts burg from noon on was in good de mand at S25- Warren in the open ing of the market showed some sign of weakness, bids of s14.T5 and S15 and sales made at s15. During the latter part of the day Warren was in demand at $l5.50. American IS be ing sought after at s12.50. To the holders of Saginaw we beg 70 advise them to see that they send in their stock to the company at lheir earliest possible moment, in order that new certificates might be issued Tor them.
 Denn-Arizona is in good de nani at Sl5-50. We think that at these prices Denn ought to be bought ID Tor an investment.

 FURNACE COMPLETED.
(cananea Herald.)

The work on the new large reyer-
 hertory furnace has been completed. For the past two weeks or more fires
 have been kept burning in il for the
 purpose of drying it out. This work, of necessity, is slow as it is absolute
 ly necessary to thoroughly dry ou

As soon as this is done and the bottom Of the furnace snelted in with silicious compost tioEAa refractory lining upon which the molten mineral will be treated and pUrified-the structure will be sea soneI for the intense heat it will have to stand, day and night.
 The grading in the new lumber rail way yards is being pushed and will be completed as soon as possible to facil- itate the handling of mine timbers, and as soon as the third rail is laid on the bIoad-gauge, the narrow-gaugo cars will be run into the lumber yards and the mine timbers forwarded to the mines with a minimum amount ot handling.
 Ground is now being broken for th. erection of a mill which Will be operated for the purpose of recover ing values lest in the concentrator tailings. Tn the present process these tailings are as clean as modern ap- pliancCs. in the way of concentrator machinery, technical skill and con siant vigilance. can make them. Ow- ing to clayey nature of Cananea ores ii is almost impossible to recover the last traces of copper minerals. now ever, an effort will be made to treat the tailings by new process to re- cover the last of the copper. In con nection with the mill arrangements are being made for impounding and storing of the Jailings by means of large dams. From these deposits the minerals can be removed to the mill and if successful, this process will add greatly to the revenues of the company.
 Recently the company has been ex- perimenting with bringing ores from Globe, to be used in lining the Besse- mer converters. Formerly barren silicia, which was mined near the Elisa mines and brought down for that purpose, had been in use; but for the past few months copper ores of a silicioufa charaater have keen sub stiuted. The amount of ore thus used has been gradually increased until it has been found possible to entirely replace the barren silica. The use of this ore means a great sSv- ing in the cost of operating. The Globe ores, which were given a thor ough trial, have not proved to be as economical as the company's own ores.

LAWYERS HAVE \ TILT
Lively Times Reported in Court Room at NogaleS Over
 Mining Suit,
EUGENE s. IVES MAKES
 SENSATIONAL CHARGES.

A telephone message from Nogaies stated that there was lively time in the District Court when the case of Dougherty and ButteTfield versus the Cerro PrieUo Mining Company and others was called.
 Attorney Theodore H. Thomas of Denver, Colo, who represents the plaintiffs, asked for a continuation UI the case.
 Hon. F.. s. Ives, who represents the defendants, objected to a continuance. He stated that ample time had been afforded for preparation, and that the case should go on. The battle be- tween the lawyers waxed warm, and Attorney Ives charged Thomas with bringing the suit simply for stock jobbing purposes.
 The amount involved in the suit is said to range from S500,O0 to s1,500,- coo. IC started with the purchase of the Zaragoza mine in Sonora from a party by Dr. w. F. Chenoweth. This party stated that two additional claims which were extensions and in which the plaintiffs were interested covered the ledge. On this representation it was agreed to make the purchase. He stated, however. that he discovered on examination that the extension did not cover the ledge and he located claims of his own on the ledge which are known as the Enterprise and Mar guerita. These claims were sold to the Cerro Prieto Mining Company. The plaintiffs claim they had an In- terest in them and as the mines are very rich, litigation followed. The property is now owned by the Black Mountain Mining Company

NEW SYSTEM OF
 COPPER ORE REDUCTION.

H. P. Mcintosh. of Kelvin, is the in- ventor and owner Of the Mcintosh system of copper ore reduction and has been using the system at the Kel- win reduction works for some time with considerable success.
 He states that he has demonstrated the success of his system, but its use at the works was discontinued this week because the machinery at hand is not adequate to use it to the best advantage. It will not be resumed until the necessary machinery is in- stalled.
 The chief virtue.of the system, Mir McIntc sh stated to a Phoenix news paper reporter. is it's speed. Snd it takes minutes with this system where hours are consumed wi:h others. Ha. however, does not care to talk much sbout the system, prefeTring to show what il can do instead of publishing it..
