LIVELY AT O. D. PLANT
And Also at Other Mines in the
 Vicinity of Globe.

The Old Dominion smelter is the liveliestplace about Globe at the pres ent time. With two furnaces in com mission a large force is required, and in addition to the smelter crews a number O: men are at work on the big matte pile breaking it up, sacking and transferring it to the C. ", c. & N. cars for shipment to the east. On June 30 last there was about 4.50O. GOO pounds of this matte. averaging 70 per cent copper, and the stock has since been added to. The sale of this matte will net the company a handsome sum.
 The furnaces arc turning out zoo bars of copper. 9S to 99 fine, every twenty four hours. The stock pile at the mine is being drawn upon to keep up the supply of ore for the smeiter. When that is exhausted all the ore will have to come from the mine. and q large [ force Of miners will be needed to take it out. The mine force is being gradu- ally increased.
