Rapid Work Going on at the old
 Dominion.

The new shaft at the Old Dominion IS down 303 feet, and another set of bearers was being put in at 300 feet, which will correspond with the sixth level at the old shaft. says the Globe Silver Belt. Each bearer consists of three pieces 12X12 inches and 15 feet long, bolted together
 The crosscut 10 the new shaft on the sixth level is nearing completion as was evident from the fact that every blov, struck by the miners In the crcsscut could be distinctly heard in the shaft It was evident that they would break through in a day or two. This con nection will make the air much better in the shaft ana the smoke will not hang so long after shooting.
 The crOsscuts on the eighth tenth and twelfth levels are being pushed as fast as practicable and when they are completed in a few weeks shaft work will progress more rapidly.
 Work began this morning on the foundation for the air compressor at the new shaft
 The foundation for the electric light plant was put in some time ago but the dynamo and engine have not been received yet The poles have been erected and wires strung, and the wiring Of the buildings is about com pleted.
 The five sets of Sterling boilers which are to furnish the power at the new shaft are being erected. The work has been slow, owing to delay in the arri- val of the tubes.
 Some time ago it was decided to in- stall converter at the old smelter to be operated until the new smelling plant has been completed, and the foundat ton for this converter has been put in. The blower engine and the crane to handle the converter and the matte are here. but the con verter has not been received.
 Two furnaces are in blast and are now running smoothly. The company was fortunate in securing the services of Charles F. Shelby as superintendent of the smelter. as he stands very high as a smelter man.
 In a month or six weeks the steel for the buildings will arrive and much better showing will then be made in construction work.
