Old Dominion Improvements and
 Operations at Other Mines.

At the old Dominion development and construction work is progressing finely says the Globe Silver Belt. The new shaft has reached a depth of 25O feet; good headway is being made on thee railroad grades, and the steam shovel Is again at work cutting a wide swath around the side of the dump south of the old shaft. Work has be- gun on the foundation for the new smelter. The foundation for the boiler house at the new shaft has been com pleted and the new Stirling boilers are on the ground. four carloads of boilers having been received on Tuesday. G. s. Atwood and l.. H. Kidder, lately employed by the Calumet & Arizona in electrical construction at Douglas, have been at work for the past week at the Old Dominion, wiring the old shelter and the new office building, and they are now erecting the poles to carry the wires from the new shaft The mine is also to be wired. as all the stations are to be electrically lighted. The in- stallation calls for 400 lights. The smelter is making the usual output of copper Coke shipments are to be re- stunned very soon. President Charles s. SlilllH. dllcI d NCCh SNdg iClN AOA NiiS east last Friday. well pleased with his inspection of the property and the progress being made.
 The United Globe has taken off its eleven o'clock shift at the Gray and have put the men to work on other claims. A one and half compartment prospect shaft has been started on the Big Johnny mine. and two tunnels are to be run on the Carrie. A good bunch of rich ore was struck on the 5th level of the Gray a few weeks ago.
 Wm. Pohl and Harry Wendleborn. with three helpers. are working hard to get out all the ore possible from the Big Johnny Their lease expires July l, but Superintendent Berray will al- low them to take out all the ore that they have blocked out at that date. The ores are red oxides and glance, very rich and Pohl and Wendleborn will probably be able 10 ake out over 100 tons.
 J. B. Newman who came down from Payson yesterday. says he has a splen- did showing Of ore on the 300-foot level of the Golden Wonder mine. The vein is four feet wide and fully as rich as on the upper levels. A. H. Morehead, J. Fl. Thompson and Newman have bond on the Golden Wonder. and expect to place the property soon. In former years it produced fully $lOO.OOO. and Y is a valuable mine today.
 Recently the contractors sinking a shaft on F. F. Kellner's Exchange mine, in Lost gulch, went through 3O feet of ledge matter containing several large strata of high-grade ore. the first encountered assaying $50 in gold and S2O in silver to the ton. and all the vein matter being run under the ore, but will not be continued for any great distance, nor the lead exploited until the 3OO-foot shaft contract has been completed. MT. Kellner is confident that he has big and valuable gold mine.
 Paul Michaelson and Dr. King, who are stockholders in the Lake Superior & Arizona Mining company, visited the mine on Queen creek last week, in company with Supt. A. c. Sieboth They were we'll pleased with the prop erty, the occurrences of ore in the tun- nel levels being important. The prin . cipal value in the ore is gold, but It also carries some silver and copper. Sinking is in progress. the shaft having reached a depth of 79 feet. and at 40 feet deeper it should cut the vein. which will be about 800 feet below the outcrop on top of the hill
 Joseph Pfister was here from Tonto basin this week. with teams, to get whim, cars. buckets, etc, equipment for his gold property. situated in Hog canyon, one mile and a half from Rye postoffice. He and his brother own q group of five claims, the development on which consists of a shaft 65 feet and various drifts and crosscuts on the lead which is an immense porhyry dike carrying gold with small pay streak running eight ounces gold to the ton. It is a telluriumore and MT. Phster who is an experienced miner is greatly en- couraged by the following showing.
 The strike of ore in the Crancer crosscut, on the 460-foot le|el of the Globe Boston company's mine. an- nounced in these columns last week. has grown with development to large proportions. Supt. Geo. s. Andrus in- forms us that the crosscut has pene- trated A feet of ledge matter. which is chiefly iron pyrites carrying stra- tum of chalcopyrite and several streaks of sulphide. little glance was also encountered. The showing is certainly very encouraging. and MT. Andrus ex-
