 The Boston Herald of March I7 has the following to say concerning the Old Dominion Company, of Globe: Out of 150,000 shares of Old Dominion stock outstanding, two people command 9i,000 shares, and of this amount a New York director holds :7S,000 shares. We understand that the holdings of this stock are strong enough to warrant drastic action as respects the rail- road extension to Globe, and that, as Mir Garland, the president of the railroad company, owns the teaming interests, and does not come to terms with Mir. Huntington, there is some discussion among the owners of the mine as to the advisabihty of closing the Old Dominion mine un- til the railroad extension question is settled"
 A big mining suit is on in Butte, Montana, in which the Montana Ore Purchasing Company has brought suit against the Boston and Mon tana Miuing Company to recover S2,322,0O0 for value of ore alleged to have been extracted bv the defend ant company from a vein of the Rarus mine in the latter part of 1894. Three hundred feet of surface ground at the west end of the Rarus IS owned by the Boston and Mon tana. The ore was taken from be- meath this portion through the workings of the Mountain View mine. The plaintiff claims its title to the Rarus includes the full limits for mining purposes, and that the ore beneath this portion of the sur face ground belonged to it, though the ground was owned by defend ant.
 While Frank Norton was out in the Short Horn mountai IS last week to secure some samples from bis sulphur mine, he discovered about five miles south of Gleason a gold ledge, and the rock from it averages iu the neighborhood of Sl25 per ton. The ledge is very wide and the find IS without doubt very valuable one. Two claims were located in the names of Ed. Hodges, Frank Norton, Jesus Berdugo and William Willis. We understand that one of the four gentlemen who was so for tunate as 10 secure his one-quarter interest for the insignificant sum of $40, disposed of the same, before sscertaining the value of the claim, for $60. He is now repenting in sack cloth and ashes, for the Bonan- ga and Virginia, the names of the two claims located, are doubtless worth 6 large amount of money Yuma Sun.
