THE OLD Donlsnos COFFEE coarAsy
What Was Accomplished Durlng 1889.

1 What Was Aceomnlished Dnring 1889.
 There is a vague Idea abroad that
 we have big copper mine up here in
 this dimple of the mountain, but it's
 real magnitude and value is not fully
 realized, owing to the remoteness of Globe from the beaten paths of travel and also for the reason that the own CTS of the property, the Old Dominion Copper Company, and their local rep reSentative, have been conservative in the matter of giving information in regard to their operations.
 The BELT has from time 10 time published such general facts as were attainable and deemed of interest to the mining world, and these have been widely copied by our exchanges, and furnished about all the knowledge of ''the Glsbe mine made public.
 Knowing that the year 1889 was among the most prosperous in the his tory of the Globe mine, we were prompted to apply to Superintendent A. l., Walker for exact data, which he has kindly furnished, From him we learn that during the year there was smelted m the company's furnaces lS,574 tons of ore, and 4,159 tons of limestone Aux was used. The amount of coke (domestic) consumed was b,09l 40 pounds, and os bullion pro- duced, 5,9l5,5l0 pounds, ,9S5 fine Tn copper. Thus It will be seen that the consumption of coke tho English coke belng used) and output of metal was almost equal, pound for pound. Tho copper produced, too, was of an excel lent quality, second only to Lake, and the superiority of the latter is so slight as not to justify tue difference existing in price between tue two brands We did not ascertain the exact cost of bullion, but understand that last year it was lower than ever before and so small as to demonstrate the ability of the Old Dominion Cop per Company to compete with any other producer of coppern the United States.
 The extent of the development work accomplished during the year was 195la linear feet not so much as in the preceding year for the reason that it was lot necessary, but it is proba- hle that more development work will be doRe this year The water in the mine was easily handled and is not to any great extent; the number of gallons pumped was 15,- OS0,0O0 Tue force of employes was increased during tEe year, and there are now 40 names on the pay rolls The intention is to seep two furnaces runnng steadily. \ new water jack, et has just been received from Fraser < Chalmers giving the company plant of three good furnaces.
 A large an'nnnt of work is projected for the cnrrsHt season. the most i'm portant of whioS IS toe further sink ing of the man, Interluper, shaft, be gun last Thursday, and the opening ot 8 7th level, wbnh w,ll be done as rap idly as possible. Two new cages have been placed il the shalt and two sink ing pumps.
 The success attained by the Old Dominion Copper Company during the past season was due iu 8 great meas. ure 10 the inteIligent management oi Superintendent 4. L. Walker and his assistants, N. s. Berray, foreman of. the mine, and !. H. Canayan, in charge of the smeltsI. Their long service with the comps ny has given them that knowledge ofthe business in it's every detail ;o necessary to success. The company is fortunate too, in hay ing good class of mer in it's employ, who can be relied upon to perform their work well.
 Altogether the affairs of the Old Dominion Copper Company are in most satisfactory condition, and unless some unforeseen obstacle interYeuea, this years operations wlll surpass in those of any like perlod in the history of the Globe mine.
