THE oLp DOMINION COMPANY.

We visited the Old Dominion Cop per Co.'s works on Wednesday, and found the usual activity prevailing in the various branches of the business. Few alterations in the general appear ance of the works, since our last visit, are noticeable, but the rapid changes continually taking place under ground, in consequence of the enormous qnan- tity of ore mined, is astonishing to the occasional visitor.
 The work of greatest importance ac- complished recently is the drain tnn- .nel, 860 feet ir length. connecting with the Interloper shalt, and which was completed last week. Boxes, or troughs, are now being made to convey the water from the mine through the tun- nel. This will effect a considerable saving of power and enable the compa- ny to handle the large flow of water with greater ease, since it reduces the head by 155 feet. The sarious ore bodies ill the mine are looking we'll especially on the seventh (the lowest level, and are ample to furnish the ore needed to run two furnaces for long time to come.
 Every available plot of ground about the shelter is being used to cord wood upon all of She slag dump south of the smelter is utilized for this purpose, and road is under construction to a piece of ground northwest of the smelter, also to serve as wood yard, The sup ply of fuel is now large and coke is ar irving daily.
 The daily copper output is about 12 tons, and the production for the month of April bids fair to exceed 700, 600 pounds. During Superintendent Walk er's absence in the East, the business of the company was in the hands of N. s. Berray, at the mine, and j. H. Cana van, at the smelter, who excel in their respective departments.

THE nrrrALo COPPER MINES.

We have it from an authentic source that the lessees of the Buffalo group of copper mines arc meeting with gratify- ing success. Operations at mine and smelter progress most favcrably, the output of metal during the month of March having been exceedingly good. considering that more attention was given to opening the mine than to in creasing the production--and operations for the first half of April point to n production for the month at least equal to that of last month. The metal, we are told, is 9S 3-10 per cent fine and carries 46 ounces of silver and trace of gold. During the past few months the bullion has been of excellent qual- ity and the daily production, with one furnace in blast, about six tons.
 The development work in the mine indicates strongly that the ore-bodies will be extensive on both sides of Buff falo hill, but especially and with greater degree of certainty on the southeast side where the Buffalo Com pany have several claims adjoining the Globe mine, and the Transfer, one of the claims bonded by Prof Douglas party, where encouraging indications for substantial ore-body have been recently found. The Lizzie (the ex tension of the Mark Twain, one of the Buffalo Company's properties) shows we'll, so that 1t is reasonable to expect that the Buffalo hill will prove one of the most important and valuable cop per localities about Globe.
 We are assured that 1t is the inten- ton of the Buffalo lessees to build a tramway in due time, and they may also employ electric motive power in the mine. Of course what may be done in the way of improvements is contingent upon the course of the cop per market Dr. Alex Trippel, super intendent, has exercised rare good judgment and engineering knowledge in the opening up of the Buffalo mine, and it is chiefly due to his unwavering confidence in the property and perse versnce under many discouraging cir cumstances that the enterprise has been established or paying basis.
 tt may appear strange to persons un- aqpainted with the excellent quality of the ores of this district, but is never iheless a fact, that despite the many drawbacks with which Globe has to contend in respect to slow transporta- ton and excessive cost of same, our mines produce copper cheaper than any other mines in Arizona, and for almost as little as some of the Lake Superior companies,

The administration of United States criminal cases in these counties have resulted in the necessity of advancing, probably, not less than twenty thousand dollars court expenses, some of which has stood to the debit of the federal government for upwards of two years, and none less than six months Gila's claim alone exceeds $5, 1000, all of which she was compelled to advance in order thnt the operation of courts, in those cases, might not be interrupted.
