Mining Notes.

The Old Dominion has shipped to date e GOO pounds of copper bullion, and had last night 10000 pounds more ready for the product increasing every hour.
 A big strike of almost virgin copper was made in the Apache mine in the Santa Catalina Mountains last Sunday. The mine is owned by the Copper Com pany now in operation at that place. The copper as extracted from the shaft is so pure that the smelter in charge of the works is reported to have said that he would put the copper through the jacket for the purpose of making it into bars, otherwise the melting of it would not improve it. The quantity is said to be fairly large and promise an additional increase in quantity with depth. The Company have already shipped twenty tons of copper bullion and have more ready for shipment. The Company, it is understood, will also ship lumber to the Tucson market, the product of their mill near the Copper camp. The lumber IS cut in the mountains above the mill, which are said to abound in the best of pine. Much of it when sawed is un- marked by knot or shake and IS said to be equal to the pine of California or Oregon. -Citizen
