DENN-ARIzoNA MINE
 WILL RESUME OPERATION

GLOBE, Feb. 1.-The Denn-Arizo- na property, which has been closed down for many months, will tomorrow morning commence arrangements that will result in the early re-opening of development work with a good force employer. Today a shift of repair men will be set to work putting the boilers and pumps in a state where they can be used for lowering the wat CT in the shaft, the preliminary to the real start.
 For nearly a week rumors to this eff feet have been travelling from mouth to mouth, but it was not until last evening that confirmation from any authoritative source could be obtained. Superintendent B. NJ. Pattison then admitted that work would start at once.
 The force this morning will begin work by repairing the pumps and put ting them in readiness to reduce the water which as filled the lower part of the shaft during the period of inactiv- ity following the shut down. As soon as the water has been sufficiently low cred to permit of men working, devel- opment will be started.
 While Pattison gave no details as to the nature of the development op- erations which are planned, it is gen orally understood among those in a position to know, that the sinking will be continued to a snort distance below the 1900 level, at which point a sta tion will be cut and two drifts started to explore the surrounding territory. It is stated that one of these will ex- tend south toward the junction, in which direction it is believed ore in considerable quantities will be encoun- tered.
 The news of the contemplated reop- ening of the Denn will be received beyond doubt with joy by all the in- vestors holding the stock, as the clos ing of the shaft followed a raid on the stock memorable in the annals of To- cal stock dealing. The news in itself will be interesting to the mining world because of the bearing it has on the future proof of mineral resources in the east end of the district. One on the 1900 level would mean much to surrounding properties, proving that portion of the district with depth and perhaps setting others to working.
 Through the deal closed yesterday between W. B. Thompson and George E. Gum of the Inspiration Copper Company and c. E. Taylor, the compa- ny gets rid of expensive and annoy ing litigation and at the same time acquires about 100 acres of mineral land of considerable value and situat- ed advantageously in relation to the Inspiration property. While the price to be paid for the Taylor group has not been made public, a quarter of million dollars is said to be the figure at which the ground was previously held by Taylor.
 A part of the ground claimed by Taylor was in conflict with the adjoin ing claims of the Inspiration Mining company and a suit to quiet title was tried at the June term, 1908, of the district court for Gila county, and judgment rendered which left the question of ownership of the ground in question not clearly determined. The case would have undoubtedly been car ried through the higher courts and have involved great expense and delay before final adjudication, which might have seriously interfered with the car rying out of the plans of the new In spiration Copper Company. Conse- quently the deal effected yesterday is looked upon as advantageous to both parties in interest.
 It is understood that negotiations are pending for the purchase by the Inspiration Copper Company of two mining claims, adjoining the Taylor group, owned by other parties, and which will probably be concluded to- day.
 The Inspiration Copper Company is making preparations for starting ac- tive development work at an early date. The scheme of development is to include the sinking of two deep shafts and also the use of ehurn drills to prospect the Inspiration group.
