CT companies have been turned in to the head office to insure the success of the consolidation plan for the four companies While there has been no doubt of the success of the plan, in the minds of those closely associated with the management, this fmmedi- ate response has been very gratifying and is an evidence of confidence that the companies appreciate It is also well known. on the inside, that smelt. ing provisions for the new concern will be taken up at once, and that large smelling works will be erected at Douglas within a very short time. This work will be planned similarly to that of the c. & A.. but will be on a larger scale, and will be built with the view of ultimately becoming one of the largest works of its kind in the south west For the present the smelling of ores for the consolidated company will be at the plant of the C. & A., but this will not be large enough to handle the ores of the company, and the new concern as well. The new works will contain blast furnaces. con yerters and will have In addition re- yerberatories for the smelling of fine ores and dust There is now no re- yerberatory at the Douglas works.
 The Copper Queen Con. company is to add a reyerberatory for the purpose of smelling its flue dusts and fines. The furnaces now makes from 450 to 5oo tons of flue dust daily, all of which Is to be treated in works to be erected. By this means the end less procession of fine dust through rvsl ke
 Butte people, claimed here to be working for the Amalgamated Copper company, have taken large group of claims in the Huacahua Mountains a few miles west of here and will bE- gin development at once. It is not at all probable, in point of fact, that these new people are mixed up in lhis deal of the Amalgamated company, nor with Heinze, who has also ceen credited here as behind the deal.
 The new Humboldt smelter. which has been in operation about 60 days. is to be enlarged at once by the Gd- dition of a 500-ton blast furnace. This has been purchased of works in the east and will be delivered and erected as soon as possible. It will be ne Of the largest furnaces in the west. The company has a concentrating ill, especially built to treat the ores If ihe district around Humboldt, and tLis is now in operation. It has a capacity for treating about 400 toEs o. ore per day. The blowing in of this works ltas already had an important effect ;n mining around Yavapai county and vicinity, and there is great actiyity there now. Copper Basin. which had only a few prospectors two years ago, is now one of the busy camps of the territory Two or three works that produce copper matte in small ton mage are now shipping to the new works, in preference to the long haul to Fl Paso or other distant points. much to the advantage Of both parties.
 The great four-cylinder Nordberg hoist is being installed at the Oliver shaft here, and will be running in a few weeks. It is similar 10 that at Junction, and either of them could pull the bottom out of any mine in the district.
 The Copper Queen is erecting a large precipitating plant at the Czar shaft for taking the copper out of the water from the mine. the only one at Bisbee where the water is acid. i'm pregnated with copper sulphate. and experiments have been under way for some time looking toward a proper process for saving this copper water. The works will be large enough to treat all water from the mine.
 Orders for sinking machinery for the c. & A. crowds Globe properties will be placed soon in the east There will be three plants for the new com pany and will be put into service ss soon as erected.
 There are rumors of an important find of sulphide ores in the Sullivan and Manhattan properties in the Chir- icahuas, a few miles east of Bisbee. At both mines sulphide dumps are growing at the mouths of the shafts.
 A ton of refined silver bars was shipped through Douglas few days ago from the Lampazos mine, near ,Nacozari, to New York. The shipment was by express and was valued at about s3o,000. It is reported that Pbeips-Dodge Co. have bought both Lampazos mine and mill. which have been, the individual property of s. Lopez, of Lampazos. He is the largest producer of metal south of NacozarL

 The Brooks Copper company of this city is opening a large tract of land in the Ajo mountains. 40 miles south of here, and is employing consider able force. Copper is showing in the workings and the ore carries some precious metal values also. The dis trict is well nineralized on surface and the indications are for camp of importance.
