cocHlsE COUNTY.

PARADISE, Dec. 1.-THE annual
work on the Sullivan is being contin-
ued by Supt. ]. G. Sweeney, although
sufficient work for so claims-about
300 feet-has already been done on
the IA claims of the group during
the present year. The work is being
-----E------~-s-- - ,IIEIoE 5rrp vIarIII5
of the group.
No work is being one this year in
the main shaft, owing to the removal
some time ago OF the whim formerly
IN use at that working
From this years operations no re
suits worthy Of note have so far been
attaiped though some good ore is eX-
peeted to be struck soon on the
claim know as the "S6." Here a tun-
mel, driven to cros5cut the lead, is IN
about 60 feet, having been driven so
feet this year. The face of the tun-
mel is looking good.
The property was purchased-py
the Duluth-C hiricahua Development
company of Duluth, MINI. The price
paid -S40,000.00-is the largest casa
or nO-stock transaction ever consum-
mated in the district.
The most extensive workings are
two vertical shafts, one 80 feet in
depth aud the other 20 feet. It had
been intended to sink the latter
shaft to depth OF geo feet before
drifting. But water was encountered
at that depth in sufficient quantities
to prevent further sinking with the
machinery on the ground. So a drift
was run just above the water line;
and in this drift ore was struck. This
shaft is well tinbered.
The Sullivan has a great deal of
rich ore, some of which runs 40 per
cent incOpper.
It is asserted on good authority
that the Duluth-Chiricahua company
has considerable money in TIE treas.
Ury, and that should the present lit
igation over the property be decided
in their favor the company would at
once begin extensive development
operations.

Plan to Close all but Boston &

Output win Average About
100000 pounds Monthly.

With tae concentration OF the oper
atoms Of the Amalgamated Copper
Co. on the Boston 4 Montana mine
and the closing down Of all the other
plants and the WashOe Shelter. tee
output OF the Boston & Montana viii
again be increased TO somewhere near
its normal capacity of from 100000
to 100000 pounds per moath, and
this win be about the full capacity Of
the Great Falls smeiter also.
The Boston L Montana can produce
more copper at a given tonnage than
tae Anaconda or any other 81 the
AmalgauaJed mines for the reason
that its ore run about 1 per cent or
the equivalent of about 20 pounds LeT
ton richer tlan the Anaconda.
1t the present price OF copper say
1872 cents, the Boston aad Montana
it is stated should be able to make a
profit Of about 2 II cents a pound.
This would be increased If il were not

In fact, the profit to the Boston &

sorbed in keeping the other proper
ties in condition to resume operation,
when times become more propitious.
Under the circumstances, the out
look for dividends for either the
Amalgamated or the Anaconda may
be regarded as pretty dubious.
The companies have been losing
money for the past sixty days on
every pound or ore extracted, but for
some months previous to that they
were coming money rapidly, owing &c
their large output and the extraordi

GOOD SAMPLES.

BENSON, Ariz., Dec. 1.-THE MIN
ers have sent to Benson large block
of beautiful sulphide ore from new
shaft in the Arizona & Michigan De
velopment company group. at Johnson
camp, from a ledge the full width Of
the shaft, with vein of solid ore like
the sample to feet thick. The pecul.
iarity of this vein is that it carries
s3Ob value. in gold and silver, besides
being almost solid sulphide.

good ore and the mill had been run

The recent strength Of Old Domin-

which was pending in the name Of
the company was settled in its favor
I his in reality has nothing to what
ever to do with the present Old Dom
inicn company OF Maine, but with the
Old Dominion Mining e. Smelling
company of New Jersey, watch is the
subsidiary operating concern pf the
Maine company. Therefore the share

they were, unless they kept the CO.

from 81 10 40 cents the share
this price the purchasers risked the
selling price less 25 cents, money to
which amount remained in the hands
of the trustees. This matter has new.
er been fully understood in the past.
The incident served to can atten-
ton to the present position of the
company, which is unusually strong.
On the 900 shares now outstand-
Ing the Old Dominion is in a position,
or win be in a very Snort time, 20
produce at the rate of $4,000, 900
pounds of copper annually. This CO..
per can be produced at the mine Tor
about 9 cents the pound, which rem
ders the company blister copper 80
per cent pure. There is q cost OF
about 3 cents the pound to be added
to this to bring the copper to the
f. o. b. stage, so that under ordinary
costs the Old Dominion ought to be
able to produce its copper at u cents
the pound. Latterly tae extraordina-
~ cost of labor and of supplies has
brought the cost up anything from a
cent to SO of a cent a pound, but
still higher costs have been made
during the past year owing to the
fact that the company has been treat
ing large amounts of custom ores and
Jacozari concentrates in which there
Eas considerably less profit taan in
the ores OF the company Itself!
The demonstration Of the extent Of
the sulphide vein. together with the
evidence that sulphides also exist in
the United Globe, makes the property
practically self-supportfng from the
ore standpoint. There seems little
doubt at the present time taat both
the OHAbEu 14ODE duu Tue Oiu OOiu-u-
ion proper made mistakes IN starting
the payment OF dividends. The
United Globe needs all the money
that it receives from the Old Domin-
ion for ores furnished and paid to
its account for the development OF
the property. 1t seems beyond doubt
that good ores exist under the Buffs-
10 Hump hill and the Development OF
these ores and the constant deepen
ing Of the shafts ought to be the first
care Of the management In the Old
Dominion property the encouragement
has been hampered BY the iaterIoper

SPLEND|DLY
Both Copper Queen and caIu-
met & Arizona are Exposing
New Ore Bodies to be Drawn
on When Conditions Demand

During the past week both of the
large operating cmpanies in the War
zen district paid OIL about the same
number Of men, while the production
was kept up to the normal run of the
past couple of months, and an i'm
mense amount of development work
ing some Of it opening up new ore
bodies, was done. The general SEN
timent prevails that the copper situa-
ton is much improved, and thar pc
fore long the old conditions of pros
entperity viii prevail. This seems 20
be dependent now only on the better
ment OF financial conditions, as 1t is
generally admitted that the copper
buyers have stayed cut Of the mar
ket as long as possible, and the situa-
ton is in the hands of the producers.
Reports w5fe received in the dis
trict stating Tat the Amalgamated
had decided to close down ell of its
mines at Butte, Montana, as well as
shelters at other points, still furtner
curtaillng its production, but in spite
of this movement which seems to be
general on the part of the producers

their forces in any way, seemingly
being content to. taks~ advantage of

the price Of the metal is normal.
During the time that copper was
selling at q price better than twenty

afford to devote sufficient time TO
development work which ought to
have been done. During the slump,
