STRIKE IN PARIS.

The French Chamber of Deputies,
after a stormy session of four hours yes
terday, adjourned the debate on the IN
terpsllatious ON the postal situation un
Ill May 13. The response Of the Posla
employees was quick aud decisive.
Within halt sn hour the federal COM
mittee had issued an order for general
strike, and the railway mail clerks
walked out in body. An hour later
meeting of 6, 600 postal employees st the
Hippodrome took up the gage OF the
battle and unanimously voted to strike.
There was no great enthusiasm shown,
but determination and resolution to to'ce
the hand of the government we're sP'
parent.
"The government is playing for time;
we must not be caught mapping" }" was
the spirit of the meeting. The strikers
are from the postal, telephone and 'eie-
graph services.
During the debate in the chamber
NM. Sembat and Willm (socialists) de-
tended the position Of the strikers,
affirming the right to organize them
selves into a syndicate as the ooly way
OF redressiDg their grievances, and
charging the government with failure to
keep its promises at the conclusion OF
the previous strike, especially with re-
card to the retirement of M. Simyap,
under secretary Of posts aud telegrsphs'
The general opinion is that the gov
eminent, with the aid Of the soldiers
and the cooperation of the commercial
bodies, will be able to maintain the
crippled services. The main danger is
that violence may occur, and that pas
sions may be aroused By the appearance
ON the scene OF the General Federation
OF Labor.
A dispatch from st. Nszaire states
,ha. the strike of the employees OF the
General transatlantic Steamship Oom-
psny continues aud steamers are de-
tanned. The dock lsborers refused to
ship the mail bags for Central America
al d the West Indies, and these mails
were therefore returned to Paris.
Six hundred postal employees, at a
meeting iu Bordeaux last night, voted
to strike.

 There has been a good tone to the copper metal market this week. al though prices have not advanced The sale of lake. at 13zc. by the leading producer of the best grade some two weeks hgt represents the highest price touched and the market may be quoted from, say 141kc- bid to l4%c. asked. Some small lots can probably be had from speculators at he lower figure. but any large re quirements would necessitate the pay ment of the asking price The Iarg- est producers of efectrolytic are ask ing and receiving 14ixc-, although eiectroiytfc. like lake, could be picked up in small quantities at lower fig ures. There has not been as heavy buying movement as has been looked for, owing to various causes. The nervous feeling in Wall stresa caused by the decision in the Consol- idated Gas case. had some influenct in business circles but the main con se' iteration has been the fact that general trade has been held in check by the tariff discussion and, in some sections of the country. by unseason- able weather.

HIGH GRADE ORE
 FROM THE kJ0S

Ordinarily. when charges incident to mining copper ore run the total cost to an amount in excess of s35 a ton one does not hear Of more than one shipment but in the case of a property in the Ajo mountains which Is being operated by the Renal Ore Reduction company of Boston, 4. D. Lee. manager. it is altogether differ ent for the ore has a value of S10S ton. Mir. Lee is in Douglas today with a carload of the ore which is De- Ing reduced at the Copper Queen smell ter. This is only one of several ship prents made recently.
 The ore is bornite and comes from the mines operated iIi the old days of the territory by Col. Bean. It is nec- essary to freight tEe ore forty-eignt miles from the mines in Pima coun,y These mines were pernaps the nrst mined in the territory. The ore Mir Lee has been shipping runs around fifty per cent in copper.
 Mir. Lee has of late given a good deal of time towards perfecting the some devices to be used Tn the mining and smeiting industries and he and Superintendent Lee or the Copper Queen slnefter have been going over the drawings together. One of his inventions IS a powdered coal burner and another is a new sort of oil burner for a furnace.

Review of the Situation
 III the Globe District

Globe experienced during the past week a pronounced renewal of actiYi- ty in mining which had been inter- rupted during the holiday season. There was a resumption of the heavy travel that had been feature for sey- eral weeks previous. and many impor- tant interests were represented among the recent arrivals.
 The events of ghe week were. the important strike of suIphide ore in the Gray mine, the ratification of the contract for the sale of the Inspira- tion mine to the Gunn-Thompson in terest and the complet ton of the first payment of Sz50.0CG on the property, tbe visit of President Ns l.. Amster oi the Arizona Commercial Copper com pany and the placing of the order for machinery for the smelter which that company is to build.

SPECIMEN ORE.
(Sylvanite Miner.A

Waffle the conservative mining msL professes a lofty contempt for speci
 men ore, 1t must be admitted that free gold in the quartz visible to the naked eye is a pleasant sight to vA pert or tenderfoot. The specimen ore now being shown in Sylvanite froE, the Consolidated, Ridgewood, Buch- anan and other properties around the town, if found in Nevada or Colorado would have caused 9 stampede of hup drends of people from all parts of those eager to part cipate in the pros perity wlich inevitably follows such discoveries. And yet today there are still to be heard those who der de this remarkable gold district The ore recently found on these propeFt sss must appeal to the most experienced and cautious mine operator. It shows the ne particles of free gold I bera fIy disseminated throughout the body of the ouartz, which is of that character which appeals fires 'stibly to the prac- teal man as an ore that will carry tae values evenly and to great depth. The mining men of Sylvanite are not hunting specimen ore but it's frequem discovery in the camp Is a source of much qualification. It unerTingly in- dicates that at depth these mines will show some big shoots of wonderfully rich ore.

Mining, SmeIterS and StOCR Quotations

W. Bonnie and Superintendent H. A. Collin. was the decision to proceed at once with the construction of a smeit. ing plant. The plans and specinca, iions for a smelter had already been completed. and the site, on the Pon- tiac claim north of the Eureka shalt, selected. Yesterday the order was placed for the necessary machinery and structural steel 10 be used in the construction of the plant. including a blower and compressor. ana also a Webster. Campbell X Lane hoist of capacity for sinking 1500 feet No delay in the delivery of the machinery is anticipated and the management expects to have the plant completed and in operation by the middle of Au- gust. The initial capacity of the smel- ter will be 300 tons, but it will be built with a view to it's enlargement to 1000 tons daily. The plant will Oe of modern construction throughout.
 Development on tD' Black Hawk vein is progressing at oth the Eureka and Black Hawk sh3 s. At the Eure- ka th station at 7i feet is being cut and by February 1, drifting on the vein will be under way. IL will only require a crosscut thirty feet south from the shaft to intersect the vein and judging from tLp ore encounter cd above in the shaft, body of high grade glance and carbonate ore should be opened by tn ed,ift on the 7l0-foot level.
 At the old Black Hawk workings near the eastern end of the property. the vein has been drifted on for a distance Of 250 feet west from the winze on the $50 foot level. and has been in ore all the way and the face of the drift is now in carbonate ore going about per cent and severai ounces of silver to tie ton The best ore, however, has been uncovered n the bottom of the drift which, appar- ently, has been run on the apex of a rich ore body, carrying considerable copper glance.
