OLD DOMINION MINE
 HAS BEEN UNWATERED


 The most important piece of news for Globe for the New Year is the an nouncement that the old Dominion mine has been unwatered and the big pump on the twelfth level is again in commission, says the Globe Silver Belt.
 The disaster which resulted in sub merging the twelfth-level pump and filling the mine and shaft with water to a point Considerably above the tenth level, happened December f, just four weeks ago tonight, and they have been four weeks of anxiety for the management and constant toll for those of the mine force connected with the work of fighting the water. They certainly worked heroically, and none appreciates the great value of their services as much as does Superintend- ent Hoar, who so expressed himself in a conversation with the editor of the Silver Belt. Al times the situation was so critical that slight mishap to the machinery or the momentary fail ure or negligence of anyone filling a responsible berth, might have caused the flooding of the tenth level and loss of the pumps at the station, which would, in all probability, have necessi- tated ,-e abandonment of the mine for a considerable period.
 The twelfth level was entirely un- wateree yesterday morning, and at 1 o'clock this morning, the twelfth level pump was started In addition to this there are now four other pumps run ming on the tenth level. which together with the balers. gives a hoisting capa- city of upwards of 5000 gallons per minute. It is thought that the pumps will handle all the water. and the bal CTS will be taken out of the shaft in a day or two.
 A nasty examination of the elev- enth and twelfth levels leads the man agement to believe that the damage done by the water on those levels is not so serious as was apprehended As quickly as possible these levels, as well as the ninth, will be cleared and the timbers strengthened and renewed where required.
 At the shelter two furnaces are running and will probably continue in commission for some time.
 Doubtless the receipt of the news at Boston that the water had been over come was the cause of the sharp ad- vance in Old Dominion stock to IS yesterday which is rise of 312 points from the lowest point touched last month.

TN THE TIMING FIELD Operations of Interest Throughout the County of
 Cochse Arizona and Sonora

ing the year the company has reduced
 1,218. .O39 tons of ore, the average value
 of which was s3.53 per ton.-Los An
 geles Mining Review.
 A Michigan correspondent of the Western Mining World says that while
 the lake mines did rot yield large profits last year, more millions nave been netted by Lake Superior invest
 ors than in any previous year, mainly through the development of the Calu-
 met x Arizona mine, in Cochise coun- ", Arizona. This is now producer and is proving as rich property as
 was claimed for it. Copper mining companies have paid enormous dividends to their stockhold-
 CTS the past few years. The Calumet & Hecla is reported to have paid over 250 per cent on its total capital stock; the Boston & Montana over TO per cent; the Anaconda Copper company 16 per cent; the United Verde 77 per cent, and the Mountain Copper com pany 19 per cent. Arizona is one of the great copper producing sections and nearly all of her big mines are div idend payers.
 Judge Griffin. the original discoverer and owner of the famous Mudhole
 mine. and E. E. Breed have bonded the Vermonter group 10 the Arizona Lead CT Mineral Syndicate. The syndicate
 was represented F. H. Briggs, George Madison and Captain Gray of Cleve- | land, Ohio, and Walter G. Reese ot | Prescott, successful promoters and business. It is expected that Walter | c. Reese will act as resident agent and general manager of this company and i active work on the property will com mence at once.
 A correspondent of the Western Mining World, writing from Houghton, | Mich, says: Lake Superior share | holders of Arizona mines are planning Ia large excursion to that section next
 spring. Special cars will be provided and it is expected that reasonable rates will be secured from the railroad
 companies. There are millions of dol l lars of copper country money invested l in Arizona mining properties many of
 which are turning out very good. The
 most of the money from this section
 has been invested in properties in the
 Warren mining district of Cochise county, but several good mines in other parts are owned here.''

 You may remember that two or three years ago I sent you some of my experiences among the mines. Well since I have had other and different experiences, and perhaps some of them may prove interesting and pos sibly also instructive 1 know miners have to be handled with gloves-some Of them not the four-ounce variety, but fine kid gloves. I know a miner, and a good one, too, who has been foreman for several years of a large and very interesting gold mine in California. He is not a student, in the ordinary ac- ceptance of the term, but he studies his mine and understands it well. One day a noted geologist visited the mine and in company with the superintend- ent spent several hours underground. the vein phenomena of this mine. the W, at S@, is of great interest to the student Of geology, and the stranger being an ardent and capable student Of dynamic geology, found much to interest hi mand abundant food for thought.
 The foreman, who has an eye to the economic branch only, accompanied the party for som metime and finally left in disgust, finding some e-cuse to get away.

I had known him for sometime and expected to get some authentic information concerning the mine-something everybody in the district was anxious to get. This man told me he had been placed in a most unenviable position, having ito work out the tail end of a gutted and badly worked mine Had to get what he could from the several caved portions and to mine wherever he could find a little pay" All this sounded straight enough, but was not in line with cer- tain other things that had come to my notice, such, for instance, as the build ing of a new and very expensive hoist ing plant at deep and well equipped modern shaft. It was not known to be the policy of the owners to go to such extraordinary expense to work out the tail end of a gutted mine" The mine is still in operation and is doing well, new ore bodies having neceSsitated the elaborate oouir- ment. l merely considered the re- marks of the superintendent to me to be mild form of rebuke for presum- ing to ask about matters that really did not concern me, although 1t al-

Many thousands of dollars were vast ed. There is one good mine in the camp and one only.

600 Of the Stock.

LONDON, May 1.-THE issue of the pro-
spectus of the Transvaal loan was awaited
with the greatest interest in financial cir.
cles here, and there was a scene of consid-
cradle excitement at the Bank of England
today, where thousands of people congre-
gated hours before it was finally given out
that the prospectus announced the issue of
$l5OOOO.OOO Of the $17o, 900 900 authorized,
and that the price would be at par with
interest at B per cent. The loan Is redeem
able In 1858. A sinking fund Of per cent

Iransvaal reserves the right to pay of

Through various London houses appIica-
tons in behalf of American clients were
made this afternoon for allotments of the
Transvaal loan. These, however, were not
very large, and as they must take their
chance with the other applications Ameri-

tent In the present issue. The bankers ex-
pect that applicants will receive only about
