Few people, even in Globe, realize the
great value Of the Old Dominion Copper
Company's product for the year 1885.
Copper to the amount Of 4 $40, 900 pounds

Gila's gold and silver output will place
the valuation of her mineral production
last year at a handsome figure.

says: VIM. Pickett Of the Quijotoa mines,
and Vim. Lyle have jnst returned from
the Harqua Hala mines and they say a
very rich pocket was found on the surface,

ore gets. They claim that after sinking
six feet the ore is only twenty dollars

those who have gone in there. ....

from shaft eight feet deep (the depth OF
