Bismuth In COchise County.

Reports that the Euclid Mining com pany are finding large deposits of bis mite (oxide of bismutb) in connection with the wolframite ore now being mined on their properties in the Whet- stone mountains. They are encounter ing fine deposits of wolframite Tn ali the workings, and these ores will be reduced on the ground as soon as the concentrating plant, now in process of erection, is completed.
 The continued rain has delayed the work and prevented the transportation of material from the railroad onto the ground, but is expected that, if the weather settles so that It is possible to get the material into the mountains, the new mill will be in full operation within sixty days,
 Twelve men are at present employed on the property.
 A part of the machinery, consisting of crushers and rolls and engines, Is now at the freight depot here awaiting transportation to the mine. The bal ance of the machinery is expected every day.
 While the plant now being install ed is small, one, the capacity bein Q about twelve tons per day. it is capable of being enlarged to any capacity neces sary to the conditions of future ore production.
 The product of the mill will be high tungsten concentrate, and Man ager Williams expects to save the con- centrated bismuth as very valus ble by product. Belt.

Pima and Santa Cruz

Councilman E M. Dickerman in an interview in the Phoenix Gazette tells a few truths about Pima and Santa Cruz counties
 "Pima and Santa Cruz counties were never in a more prosperous con- dition," he said. "The ranges are in good condition, consequently the cat tie and live stock generally are fat and healthy.
 "We have several gooG mining pro perties around Tucson, which are de- veloping into storeshouses of mineral wealth. The Silver Bell. the Twin Buttes and the Helvetia districts are all lively. and great deal of ore is being taken out. Several prospects are also being developed. with every sign of success. Patagonia, in Santa Cruz is rapidly growing into an i'm portant place and has an extensive mineral district surrounding it.
 "No, things never looked better. concluded MT. Dfckerman. Every thing is prosperous and there is not cloud on the horizon. We will devel- op and keep on developing until Pima and Santa Cruz counties are the rich est in the nation in a mining way"

NEW JUDGES FOR SANTA CRUZ.
Hereafter Judges Kent and Nave WEI
 Hold Court Here.

There has of la te been more or less of demand for encouragement of the judicial business of the southel n part of the territory in consequence of the heavy and con gested condition of litigation in Cochise county where it is necessary to keep court open most of the time, says the Bhoehix Republican.
 It was suggested that there be a redistricting and the Supreme Court at the late meeting had the matter under consideration. It was finally conclu Jed that it would not be neces- sary or at any rate advisable and that the complaints which had been made could be met in another way.
 It was therefore arranged that Judge Doan of the second district should sit at Tombstone and that the business of Santa Cruz county would be looked after by the other judges. The first term therefore, at Nogales will be presided over by Judge Nave of the fifth district, and the second, next fall. will be presided over by Judge Kent.
 This solution of the problem was decided upon when the impossibility of making any satisfactory disposition of Santa Cruz county was considered. It is contiguous only to counties of the first or second districts and it could not be attached to either the fifth or the third district.
 This arrangement of the matter will relieve the legislators Of the neces- sity of taking action which it is un- derstood they have been considering, though the-act creating the fifth dis trict puts the formation of and redIs- tricting of judicial districts entirely into the hands of the Supreme Court.

Graham County Wants Division.

If the delegation from Graham county has its way, there will be four teen instead of thirteen counties in Arizona when this legislature ends.
 Hampton, Pace and Cleveland, who are looking after Graham's interests in the two houses. have been urged by their constituents to get the county divided.
 Solomonville, situated in the south ern half, is now the county seat, and if there is a division the county seat of the upper half will in all probability pe Clifton.
 ':The southern half," says Hampton,. "is devoted to agriculture and the: northern half to mining. The inter ests of the two sections differ to such an extent that the people, or large number of them, want division-De- nocrat.

A Natural Mistake.

A young fellow from the rural district, who was larger in funds than city experience, went to. Denver, Col, recently on a cheap excursion and while there dropped into a fashionable restaurant. On inquiry as to whether he would take table d'hote he took a chance and replied in the affirmative. The waiter brought soup and fish, which were promptly eaten. Seeing no further activity on part of the waiter and not being wise to the rules Of the game, the young man left the table and faced the cashier. "How mu:hP' he asked. 1.-TWO dollars" replied the dizzy blonde in the cage. He then took cigar. "How much2' he asked. Cigars 25 cents," gurgled the blonde. The young man looked intently at the young woman for a moment, his gaze centering on a ribbon about her neck. "W hats that around your neck2" he asked. "Why, ribbon" she answer el sweetly. "Whyp 70, I just wanted to know" he answered gently. "Everything is 30 blamed high here [ thought it might be your garter"

Judging from agreements filed. the litigation involving the famous Pea body group of mines in this county is about at an end and settlements ad- justed. Epes Randolph of Tucson is to act as trustee, who in turn has in stalled J. A Eckhart as Superintend- ent. Shipments of ore are to be made, the indebtedness paid and the prop eruy cleared.

A recent compilation of reports from large number of engineers and capitalists who have from time to time examined the property and oper- ations of the Mansfield Mining and Smelling Company shows a notable unanimity of opinion among them as to the future earning power of the company. Their opinions are based largely upon the presence of an enor- nous true Assure vein traceable across the property for distance of over a mile, said to be the largest copper vein of it's kind in the territory. Develop ment operations at the Mansfield are now reaching a well advanced stage, and production on a large scale is looked for at an early date.-Tucson Post.

Arthur Oavanaugh, the commercial traveller, whose headquarters are in this city. came in from the west this morning. It is the opinion of Mr. Cavanaugh that the western section of Arizona will prove a most profitable one the coming spring and summer for the stock raisers, especially sheep men.

PATAGONIA.
A Few of the Mines Being Operated
 Nearby.

Patagonia Santa Cruz County, is now the center of much mining acti vity. Many good properties arc be ing opened and ore shipments are heavy and constantly increasing.
 The Happy Jack Mining company has done extensive work on it's pro perty. The main work consists of tunnel, 900 feet, that upon completion will open up the ore body for more than 1000 feet in depth Ore ship ments are contin uous and of high grade. About 400 sacks are now at the station awaiting cars. The Hap py Jack is proving to be a splendid property and is under good manage ment.
 The Pride of the West in Washing ton camp is also making ore ship ments. The station platform is piled high with sacks of ore from this mine.
 The old Mowry mine is also making large shipments of bullion Two large Is horse teams are engaged in freight ing coke to the mines and returning 2 loaded with lead and silver bullion.
 The Alta mine, about 12 miles north west of Patagor1a, is shipping car loads of splendid or to the Fl Paso smelter. This is a very high grade copper, silver and gold ore. Many other mines are taking out ore, and each week will add new shipping mines A very large number of mines are now beginning work in all direc tons north, west, south west and south east of Patagonia. Among the nun Der can be mentioned the Mansfield Mining and Smelling company. The machinery is good and substantially roads lead to the camp A double compartment shaft is down 16O feet and finely tinbered. About 42 men are at work in thIs camp.
 J. H. Hosey & Go, of Phoenix, are opening up copper property west of the Mansfield mines. They have about 20 men at work, and will be shipping ore very soon.
 The Gringo gold mine has 5 stamp mill on it's property and will soon add ten additional stamps. This is free mll ing gold proposition about two oe
 The "Santa Cruz" Mining company, about two miles east of Patagonia, is working a large force of men. and at a depth of $50 feet have good ore depo- sits.
 s'The Three R" mines have a large number of miners at work. This pro- perey belongs to w. O. Greene, lately this mIne has been noted for years for the richness of it's copper ores.
 The Flux mino, one of the largest deposits of lead carbonites in the ter ritory, is being actively worked, also the Hard Shell near Harshaw. The last two mines are also the property of R. R. Rich adsCp, who has lately bonded .hem to California parties for a largo amount.
 The Dawson mine located about ten miles northwest of Patagonia, struck large body of ore on the footwali recently, worth more thau S2O0O per ton, in fact the richest ore ever found in the district.
 The mining world is beginning to realize more fully than ever the i'm portance of the Wrightson copper dis trict. Inc Westinsho interests have been prospecting the district and locating prof ferties for some time, and now comes Col. w. 0. Greene Citizen.
