The arrival In the district Sunday

tors and egineers revived talk that
Roadway Is being made towards con-
in the new reduction works in Ely.

zona Copper. Inspiration and Greene
Cananea companies. Mr.. Crumb is
mining engineer whose acquaint-
ance In the district is sufficiently
wide as 10 require no further intro
duction in the circles of important
operations.
All OF the gentlemen named were
very willing to talk upon the fasci-
mating subject of mining. but when
it came to making any statement as
TO the local plans they were as un-
communicative as the proverbial
falsa -
their shells of conservatism and ret
icenee This is not surprising. II
il perfectly natural ttat their visit
should give rise TO a furry of RI +
mors that water rights were being
inspected and other things done of
equal Importance. II so, time will
tell. and the rumors will result in no
harm In fact. such thrills of anti
eipation are rather agreeable in these
times of depression. They tend to
take ones mind off other bother
some subjects.
Mr.. Cole made some admissions
generally known to the public and re-
ferred to Mr.. Greenway as the man
who might talk The gist of this
gentleman's remarks was that he
met Messrs Cole and Ricketts, on the
road and accepted their invitation 10
come TO Ely. He is associated with
Mr.. Cole in numerous large matters
and there is nothing unusual that
he should decide TO come to this dis
triet where things are pending. lie
did not say this, but this Is merely
Inferred He did say that he was
enjoying the visit very much and
found that Ely had progressed by
leaps and bounds since a former visit
here four years ago. As to Giroux
operations he expressed the opinion
that Its extensive holdings should be
fully explored by drilling.
Mr. Greenway had considerable to
say as to the prosperity of Bisbee,
where everything pertaining to the
mining industry is of the most en-
eourafing outlook He mentioned
particularly as illustrating what
some of the big compaies of that
camp are doing, the earnings of the
Copper Queen, $4S,000.0 900 net to
date: the Calumet and Arizona. S23.-
100000. and the Shattuck, $1,000
600 These holdings are all inclnd-
sd in the Gadsen purchase from
Mexico. during President Pierce's
administration for $50. 100000.
In touching upon subjects In gen.
eral. Mr.. Greenway incidentally re-
marked that A. ValJean, former edi-
tor of the White Pine News. Is at
present located in Bisbee, Arizona,
where he is directing the editorial
destinies of the Bisbee Daily Review.
