The ore body which was encountered several months ago has been pros pected by four hundred and ninety seven feet of drifts, crosscuts, winzes and raises. According to President Daniel there are practically 10000 tons of seven per cent copper ore in sight but no attempt is being made to ship the same because of the low price of copper and the inability. of the company to secure the proper railroad facilities. The Uncle Sam shaft of the Copper Queen com pany is being sunk close to the line of the Wolverine and Arizona prop erty and Manager Roberts states that it may become practical to ar range to handle ore through this shaft. The tunnel will be continued through the George claim in the direction of the Chicago claim.
 The pumps and machinery at the Denn mine have been thosoughly overhauled during the past two weeks and it is expected that orders will be issued in the near future to start the pumps and that the mine will be in operation within month The stockholders meeting which was called for this month has been postponed until the middle of March.
 The local anti-saloon league is circulating a petition which has al- ready a large number of signers re- questing the board of supervisors to cancel the license of the Butte sa- loon. They ask that a day be set apart for the hearing of evidence tending to show that this saloon is a constant violator of the law. A criminal action was recently brought against the proprietors of this saloon but when the same was set for trial and the names of the prospective jurors were made public the league promptly dismissed the case. It is understood that after making a poll of the list submitted, the officers of the league found that nearly half of them were or had been bartend CTS while four were habitual saloon loafers. The limitation on the num- Der of challenges convinced them that a fair trial under such circumstances was impossible so they have adopted the course above mentioned and are hopeful to getting the license re- voked It is understood that if they are successful in this amtter they will immediately proceed against oth CT saloons which are said to have also violated the law.
 The members of the local Baptist church are making strenuous efforts to raise sufficient money with which to complete their church edifice. The contractors are now at work upon the building but there is only money enough in the terasury to pay for the erection of the parsonage and Sunday school room.

READING NOTICE.

The attention of the ladies and, in fact, of the man who wants to make an inexpensive gift to someone, is called to the announcement of the Post Office News Store in another column describing some articles of linen drawn work imported from Mexico. As Phoe- nix people know, the News Store is crowded for space and it's growing business reuires that certain articles that need large space for proper dis play be cut out of the stock to make room for articles of more general de- mand For this reason they are mak- ing prices on drawn work much less than the goods were bought to sell for so as to close them out quick. It's a good plan to go before the assortment is too much broken.

Bisbee, Ariz, Feb. 1S.-(Special correspondence of The Republican, The interest taken in the new town of Courtland by Bisbee people con- tinues to grow and a large number of them have purchased business or sites which have been opened there. The Calumet and Arizona company will open their townsite on the twenty-fourth and it is predicted that a large number of Bisbee people will be present at that time to choose lots. Members of the firm of Fisher and Hickey have purchased several lots on the main street of the Me Fate townsite and are considering the advisability of erecting a store building thereon. T. l. COffman will probably build a two story business block on the lot he has purchased within the next few weeks. Court land is now connected with Bisbee by a telephone and telegraph, the Bisbee office being in charge of w. E. Tester of the firm of Tester and Hicks.

pastor ofs the church, who only re- ceives a salary of one thousand dol lars per year. has agreed to give five hundred dollars providing the other organizations of the church will raise an additional thousand dollars. It is believed that this will be done and the church building completed.
 The local stockholders of the King Solomon Mining company of Sylvan ite, N. M, are rejoicing over a recent discovery of high grade ore in their mine. Assays have not as yet been made, but it is believed that the ore will run very high and that there will be a large body of it. This company owns two claims and the work is being prosecuted under the management of Leonard Loehr, a practical mining man of considerable experience. The officers and direct ors are all local business men. It is stated by those familiar with con- ditions at Sylvanite that all ore carrying values in excess of fifteen dollars per ton can be shipped at a profit. The total charges for trans portation and smelting are $5.50 per ton of which s2.5O is paid for trans portation between Sylvanite and the railroad.
 J. w. Van Eaton, who for some time represented an evening repub- lican paper at Phoenix, has started a weekly newspaper at Courtland. The printing is being done at the office of the Bisbee Evening Miner and the new paper sets forth the advantages of the new camp in glowing fashion.
 Clarence Krinbill is the proud pos sessor of a handsome new piano which is a present to him from the factory. They have just moved into their new house on Temby avenue and the gift is especially appropriate at this time.
