And Also at Other Mines in the VI: ini-
 ty of Globe.
 The Old Dominion smelter is the liveliest place about Globe aE the present time. With two furnaces in commission a large force is required. and in addition to the smetter crews number of men are at work on the big matte pile breaking it up, sacking and transferring it to the G. ", c. & N cars for shipment to the east. On June 3 last there was about {, 4,500, 900 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 are turning out POO bars of copper, 9S to 99 fine, every 24 hours. The stock pile at the mine is being drawn upon to keep up the sup ply of ore for the snelter. When that is exhausted all the ore will have to come from the mine, and large force of miners will be needed to take it out. Thet mine force is being gradually increased.

 w. B. Cullom is in from the Green Valley mining district. where he has been engaged for some time develop ing the Pay Rock mine, on which he and some of his Globe friends have a working bond. The mine is situated about three miles southwest of Pay son. and adjoins the well known Gold l. good producer MT Cullon has sunk the shaft to a depth of 200 feet and run drifts each way 50 feet. The vein is three and half feet wide. the pay streak varying from six inches to the full width of the vein. Ore tested when the property was bonded miiled $3S in gold.
 The water supply for the King of Arizona mine comes from three wells, each thousand feet deep. The wells are five miles from the mine and 700 feet lower, so that the water must be pumped the distance of five miles and elevated 1,70e feet The water costs the company -onetenth of cent per gallon and aside from labor is one of the greatest continuous expenses in operating the mine.-Arfzona Republi- can
 
 Gospel Truth From Orc Grande.
 The other day a Mexican, engaged in mucking in the Gro Grande mine was asked to pan some of the ore to show its value approximately Leaving the car which he was pushing, he scratched the walls of the drift with a caadlestick until he obtained a handful of ore. Without the least pulverizing he banned the same in the palm of his bare hand without water and. with only his breath and the mo ton of his wrist to separate the gold from the ore. To the astonishment of the editor of the News-Herald tWickenburg), and other onlookers, the Mexican soon had blown or shaken away al, the ore and in his hand glis- tened several colors, so coarse as to be easily distinguishabie in the dim candle light for a distance of several yards.
 Cansnea Mines Seized.
 Washington, Now 13.-The recent forcible seizure of the Cananea cop per mines in Sonora by armed Mexi- cans. apparently with the consent of the local courts. is to be made the subject of investigation by the State Department The mines are owned by Indianapolis capitalists. including liar ry.S. New, owner of the Journal and Hugh J. McGowan. president of the street railroad company.
 New and McGowan arrived in Wash ing.on today and called on Secretary Hay and requested that Ambassador Clayton be instructed to bring the matter to the attention of the Msxi- can government. The seizure of the Cananea mines appears to be fresh example of the vexatious and arbi- trary manner in which Mexican of1- cia!s sometimes attempt to ''hold-up'' an American enterprise. During the past two years large sums have been expanded at Cananea and the mines have been developed to the point where they have demonstrated great richness. They were bought for $50,- 900, but are worth millions now.
 Title was acquired by the Indian apolis people from old prospectors. who had obtained a patent, and the courts have held it is valid. A new, fresh suit has been brought and pet ty judge at Cananea demands $1 ,000,- 900 to turn over the mine.
 In commenting on the above the Cananea Herald has the following:
 It seems strange that these newspa- per correspondents, who are far away and entirely without knowledge of facts, to publish such absurd stories regarding the operations at Cananea. Newspapers all over the country are constantly printing $Exclus3ve dis patches in reference to operations here, which are entirely without foun- dation whatsoever.
