 John Curran has shipped a carload of per cent copper ore from his claims near Walker on LynX creek, and he reports he. has a good body of per cent ore in sight
 . General Manager Carmichael of the Arizona Copper company emphatical- ly denies a rumor current in Clifton that the Detroit Copper company will purchase the plant of the old Arl- zona Copper smeltcr and operate it in handling ores of the New Eng land and Standard mines, which were lately purchased by the Detroit company. It iS believed that the De troit company will install large new conCentrator above Clifton to han ale the output from these mines and that the concentrates will be shipped directly to the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas for final reduction.
 A step in the right direction is
  Arizona to improve it's course in min ing engineering. For February 1t has called a meeting of the mine managers of the state for con ference on the subject. A conference of such practical men will undoubt- edlY evolve a plan for the better ment of engineering study and prac- tice in connection with our state university There are few states that have such grand object lessons in the great mines and so many within only a few miles of the seat Of study.
 The Magma mine at Superior is going to diamond drill from the 500 foot level. The drill will be in ac- tive operation this week. The mine continues to ship it's high grade ore from development work on it's

Gypsum and Its Uses.

An aggregate of hydrOuS Sulphate of lime: usually crystalline: some times compact or fibrous; white when pure. but the presence of impurities will give it color caste of gray, yellow. brown. and red. The gray fs generally owing to the presence of lime carbonate the yellow to limon- ite. the brown and red to iron OK idle. the three latter resultant from iron pyrite.
 It's composition is: Sulphur trioXide 46G lime 325, water 209---1O0.
 It occurs in crystalline rock and is sometimes product of volcanoes. occurring around fumeroles. But in the United States and that in Ari- zona is mainly product from al tered limestone.
 Gypsum is used after treatment as plaster of paris and for many other purposes where plaster is used. A small per cent. of gypsum is occa sionally added to the manufacture Of cement When semitranslucent white or granular. it is classed as alabaster and in this condition it is greatly used by the Italians, especial ly for carving into all kinds of forms for ornaments. Tor statutes and relig- ious images.
 Gypsum when arenaceOus or impure is used and is an excellent fertilizer. It is now being used largely in Cali fornia for this purpose.
 There are many formulas for it's manufacture and for varied purposes. Clements containing gypsum are un- usually hard uniform in structure, set slowly and permit the addition of colOring matter without loss Of strength. In hardness, they stand half way. between Portland cement and stucco. Keene's cement is a slow setting alum plaster manufac- tured from unground gypsum. pre- ferably of a white variety. which is burned at a red heat, then immersed in an alum solution. burned again at a red heat and then finely ground. If mixed with 20 per cent water it has tensile strength of 70 pounds and a crushing strength of 500 pounds Parian cement consists of 4 parts calcined gypsum and one part calcined boraX. The gypsum is sat urated with a borax solution and burned at red heat. It sets slowly and dries in five or six hours. Scag- lola is a mixture of finely burned plaster and lime water which is made into slabs for wall decorations. Gypsum coarsely ground is called es- trick gypsum. This material when allowed to settle slowly protected from draft and heat, becomes eX- ceedingly hard, and is especially rec commended as a floor material The above are only a few of the forms and uses to which this valuable min eral is utilized and my reason for drawing attention to this subject is because we have large deposits of gypsum at our very doors, that up to the present time have not been utilized.
 l recently made a report on one of these deposits which covers a large area. One of the deposits is an accumulation of detrtal matter, resulting from very active erosion and weathering. Probably the whole mass could be used as a fertilizer.

| The Old Dominion. n.

The old Dominion will report thlS year by far the largest earnings Tn it's history, partly because of higher prices for the metal and partly be- cause of much improved conditions at the property. No particular sen sational developments of ore have re gently taken place though this con tinues to show up about as usual. The company has broken ground for the addition to it's concentrator and is also constructing the shaft poe kets preliminary to the substitution Of skips.
 Looking back over the history Of this company the last few years by far the most striking feature haS been the development of the United Globe end of the property into q large money maker. Formerly the Old Dominion mine itself was the only money maker. The profits ac- cruing to the company had to be figured on the output from this property alone The last two years however. the United Globe has been making very rapid progress and its earnings are now about 30 per cent

r-Copper Strike.

with the exception of seams, nodules and punches of pure gypsum, which is absolutely pure and as transparent as glass. Probably more of this will be found when the altered surface is removed. This is suggested by the fact that the area is cut and sep arated by narrow deep gulches and it in these gulches that the finer form is found.
 The other deposit also covers a large acreage The cliffs are broken down into large boulders, that could be loaded directly into wagons There is very little earth or foreign matter covering this deposit and there would not be the slightest difficulty to it's working as it small in quantity and could be easily re- moved. All of the gypsum is ab- lubleuble in hydrochl9ric acid There is no residual matter left whatever This mineral in it's many manu- factured forms, is greatly used in the state and with little exception is all shipped in. The deposits re- ferred to are within 6 to 9 miles from a railroad and within easy ac- cess over a good road from Win kelman on the Phoenix & Eastern Here is a splendid opportunity for new enterprise in Arizona and one that affords a great and val uable future The adoption of this material for building purposes alone would constitute a large enterprise To give some idea of the importance of the industry there were 2,323,970 tons mined in the United States during 1911 and it's total value was estimated at $6,462, ,O35. To anyone interested I should be pleased to give personally any information con- corning the deposits. Varied sam pies of the gypsum can be seen at Nealls Assay office 307 North First street

A Gentle, Christian Woman Gone.

Mrs. Harriet Stinson, relict of Robert
T. Stinson, passed away at the home OF
her son, Mr.. John H. Stinson, at 1890
o'clock Sunday, after an illness of two
weeks. She was attended by her chill
dren and grandchildren and given all
the tender care and attention that their
devote' love could bestow.
Mrs. Stinson was in the eighty-eighth
year OF her age and had been resident
of Bossier Parish many years. She was
d woman OF intelligence and strong force
Of character, kind and gentle, full Of
human symp thy, and was ever thought
full in the ministsations of mercy and
Kindly deeds to any in distress. She
was an untiring. faithful and devoted
mother, q good friend, who was never
too lnsy to speak al encouraging word
to the humbiast. The community in
which she lived will sorely miss the
blessing of her presence.
Mrs. Stinson became q member of the
Presbyterian Church many years ago,
but for long time was unable to attend
services owing to her advanced age and
feeble condition.
To the beloved grief-stricken sons and
daughter the writer tenders heartfelt
coincidence, praying that they may fine
comfort in the Heavenly Fathers abid-
ing love. May her unfaltering faith ane
her record as pure and gentle Christ
ian be an inspiration that will guide
them through every path of life. AS.
Good roads not only reflect prosperity
but quickly bring prosperity.
