 OLD DOMINION COPPER COMPANY,
 which has been our mainstay for years. are now on larger scale than formerly, Under Superintendent A. L. Walkers management the property has steadily improved in valus, About l60 names arc on the eompanys pay roll, and two furnaces have been kept running continuously, with the exeop. tion of few days interruption, slncs the bsginning ot tha year. The Comps- nys mines are equal to the increased aamand made upon them for ore. In fact they arc improving all the time and the supply of ore is abundant and the quality excellent. Last years pro duc,ion of eoppor-5 5,9l5,5l0 pounds will bo exceeded by several million pounds in 1890, if no unforeseen con tingsncy arises,
