DOnell. Copying after the early plans of the Zalinskys at Clifton, General McDCneH built stone furnace lined with copper, in which to smelt the
 Buffalo ores, but the attempt proved 9 fat failure, and the stone furnace was
 replaced by a small water jacket fur
 n2ce which met requirements. The
 Buffalo shelter turned out copper for several years. but owing to the small capacity and high cost of supplies the enterprise did not prove very profit 1 able. After Julius Liberman got cOa-
 tTOl of the Buffalo. under the manage .ment of Dr. Alex Tripp9l, the mine be- came good producer, to the financial
 gain of McssrS. Liberman and Trippel.
 The origin of the United Globe
 Mines dates from the purchase Of the
 lease and bond from Liberman and | Tripp2l by the Phelps, Dodge syndi-
 cate, in 1891. The company continued 1 to buy ground in the Globe copper belt
 until it had acquired more than thirty
 claims, the most important purchase | having been the HOosier group. Com mendable energy and the liberal ex- | penditUre of money in development
 work and in making desirable surface | improvements marked the progress Of the United Globe, and the fact that they are now enabled to supply two large furnaces with ore is the best evil dence of important discoveries under ground
 The dimensions of the furnaces in blast are one 38x96 and the other 42xl2O. Two No. ' Connersyille blow CTS furnish the blast. The ore from the mine bins is delivered over 2 BIeichert wire rope tramway, 5000 feet in length, having a capacity of a6ou5 twenty-five tons per hour.
 There are two working shafts upon which are steam hoists and a large hoist for the Hoosier shaft is contcnl- plated. A Worthington tripls-expan- sion pump with two Stirling water tube boilers. each 100 horse power, arc ordered for the Hocsier miRe which is very wet on the seventh and eighth levels.
 The cid group of mines on Buffalo l hill are being worked and are directly i connected with the ore bins al the head of the bucket tramway.
 Above the United Globe smelter the well appointed lodging and boarding l houses are well filled by employees and r a small hospital of five rooms is being | built for the care of injured and sick | workmen.
 The United Globe Mines are under the management of MT F. H. Cook as l general superintendent.
 BLACK WARRIOR COPPER co.
 "A more recent enterprise promising | important results for Globe is the | Black Warrior Copper company, whose | mines are situated in Webster gulch, eight miles west of Globe. Tn the Montgomery and Dadeville mines in mense deposits of ore have been opened to a depth of 300 feet, the ore averag- ing about 16 per cent. The present showing proves it to be one of ths largest and most valuable bodies of copper opened in the district, if not iii the territory.
 MT. James A. Fleming, president Of the company, has contracted with the Colorado Iron works of Denver for teaching plant of 200 tons of ore ca pacity per day, the plant to include an 100 horse power Ccrliss engine, two fifty horse power Marine boilers, one large Blake crusher and two sets of rolls. All this machinery is to be de- livered within three weeks. The leach ing plant was designed by MT F'lenl- ing, who has applied for q patent on his process.
 The company is now building track 6 100 feet long from the IIadeviile and mines to the site of the teaching works in Lost guIch-
  pacted to add materially to the copper output of the district.
 THE LIVE OAK COPPER co.
 The group of mines owned and Oper- | ated by this company is situated about seven miles from Globe in q westerly { direction. and are under the manage ment of Mir Forrest J. Kaldenberg and ( Mir. John Kasser, the latter as suDe'- ( intendent. The mines are fairly well developed with about 2,700 feet Of . drifts and tunne,s. A crOsscut. 5S9 { feet, strikes the sulphiGe ledge, which ( runs 10 per cent in copper and $ per ton in gold. The ores Of the Live Oak mines are high grade sUlphidcs and and the ledges are large.
 The Live Oak company IS now pro lucing and shipping to Fl Paso and l Silver City smeIteTs two carloads Of ore per week. A contract for 9 shsfl is to be let shortly and the company the erection of 8 Teaching and smelting plant.
 THE CONTINENTAL MINES
 This group of mines lies sixteen mics west of Globe on the main copper belt W hich extends west from the Globe nine through Webster gulch to Pinto ,reek. The Continental has always leen regarded as being one or the most promising propositions in this section, put owing to the great depth at which he orc is found and the expense Of de- the mine has not b zen adc- luateIy opened, although the workings nave reached depth of several hUu- fred feet and considerable ore has been 
 The prcpeTty is owned by Boston and New York parties of large means, and lpOn the return of Superintendent Y. L. Amster, now in the east, it is OK 3ectcd that work will be resumed on he property and actively prosecuted.
