OLD DOMINION MINING COMPANY.
 Aret aking out very rich ore at pres ent, and one smelter is.now turing out about 9 tons of copper per day. They have completed the break in the cage and are now runing 1t as usual A large amount of dead work IS now being done SC as to have a large amount of ore ahead to run on. The present rise iR copper will make a difference to the Old Dominion Co.,, of about SiJ0 per day.
 CENTENNIAL MILL.
 Dr. Trippel of the Old Dominion Cop per Co, has received from the County his tax deed to this mill, it has Rcspaci- ty of ten tons per day. The Dr. intends to add 30 ton smelter and samphng works so as to put this plant in condi- ton to work any kind of ore that may be brought to hlm and at very low rates. The Doctor being a through metalur- gist, in fact there Is nothing pertaining to the working of metals and ores but which he is posted upon, his puccess. in running the sOld Globe mine through the entire time of the late depression of copper when the greater part of the copper properties were compelled to shut down, is sufficient evidence of his ability, The unfortunate success of many mills m this district, the Doctor fully realizes, has been owing to mismEnagement, ln- competency, and greed to take the full value of ores from the miners and mil! owpers-in other words sort of G.Cen- eral 6 Southern Pacific monopoly. The people of Globe have the fullest conf deuce m the Doctor and will give hlm all the encouragement and assistance m his enterprise, knowing full well that he would not undertake the enterprlse with out carrying It to grand success. No one IS better posted m the merits and demerits of Globe district, Gs he has WIS tied and examined many of the mines and knows of their ability to furnish his contemplated reduction works with sufficient ore to keep them continually running to their full capacity, providing the mine owners and chloriders get their ore worked at reasonable rates.
