Departs from Pensacola.

Pensacola. Fla. May 30.-(Special.) Lifting her ponderous mud hooks just as the hour of 10 o'clock arrived the battleship Mississippi this morning left Pensacola for Horn Island expect ing to come to anchor off that port before nightfall.
 The early departure of the vessel was due to a change of orders re- ceived by Captain Fremont, which in- structei that his vessel be at anchor off Horn Island before nightfall.
 The departure deprived large num- ber of visitors in the city as well as residents of the opportunity of visit ing the ship today. and as soon as the change of orders became known the Chamber of Commerce got in commu- nication with Senator Taliaferro with a demand that the battleship be or- dered to return to Pensacola after re- ceiving the silver service at Horn Is- land.
 It Is claimed that there is no neces- sity for the ships early return to Phil ajelphia and she can<as well remain at the Pensacola navy yard as at Horn Island.

Somo OF tho richest copper glance
ore ever found in Arizona was brought
In yesterday afternoon from tho Little
Butte mine, near Bouse, by J. r.
Meyer, president Of the Arizona .Bou,e
CopUr company, which owns that

The rich ore was taken from the
drift on the 10 foot level. Not all

that Is what some Of the specimens

The shaft Is now down ego feet and
the last twenty feet fills with water
every twenty.four hours. Once a day
the entire force stops work and balls

water Is used for every purpose about
the camp except for drinking. II will
soon be available for human eonsump-
tion for settling tanks are soon 70 be
installed and the minerals held in
solution taken OUT.
The finding Of water In the shaft
has reduced the cost Of hauling water
from Bouse from 1900 to 900 per
mouth and will soon eliminate entirely
that item Of expense.
Al the 200 foot level a erosseut IL
being run TO cut the vein. II. Is esti.
mated that the vein is about ifty.hve
feet from the shaft and the erosscut
has been run ATTY feet. Any shot
