THE OLD DOMINION
 GRADING FOR NEW SHAFT

The Globe Silver Belt says; Al the Old Dominion grading for the new shaft is progressing with force of thirty men employed. In addition 10 the day shift two Burleigh drills are also run at night. and put down from ten to twelve holes. Heavy excava- tion is necessitated and it will be fully a month yet before the grading is finished and the actual work of sink ing is begun. As stated in our last issue, the shaft will have four com partments; it's dimensions will be 25X6 in the clear. As soon as needed the hoisting engine now in use will be moved to the new shalt, and will be replaced at its present location by the old hoist which is fully equal to the work that will be required of it. In crder to facilitate the work of sinking it is the intention or Ihe n engagement 10 run several crosscuts from differenT levels of the mine 10 an alignment with the new shaft, and then raise and sink from each level. By adopting this method the completion of the shaft will be greatly hastened A survey was made yesterday for a spur rom the C. V, C. X x. to the site of he new shaft. The management hopes that it's trouble, so far as handling the nine water is concerned. will soon be over. A Worthinston compound du- plex pump. having a capacity of 1000 salons per minute, is expected from Los Angeles within few days. The | new pump win be installed at ths twelfth level. and is expected to meet ever requirement.

THE STANDARD MINES.
Laying of a Tramwaq to the A. C.
 Company's Railroad.

The surveyors started this week to lay out a line for tramway and incline from the mines to connect with the Arizona Copper company's road at Chase creek, says the Copper Era at Clifton. This will enable the Standard company to begin shipping their lower grade ores. of which they have a very large amount in stopes. as well as keeping up their output of 25 per cent ores. Of the latter they are enabled by the recent developments, to main tain a steady output of 300 tons Der month. The assay outfit has arrived, and building will be erected for this and the general office. The Standard has also installed a new twelve-horse power gasoline hoist. this being the second plant on the mine, within the last twelve months. For a two-y ear old property the Standard is certainly a wonder, and from present indications 1t is only in the beginning of a most brilliant career. The last strike of high grade sulphides, five feet in width, running over 30 per cent copper, has given an increased interest in the af- fairs of the company, as the strike clearly proves a very large block of new ground to be rich in high grade sulphides. The management. which has been extremely conservative, in tends shortly to begin development on their other properties, in which they expect to find a continuation of the present ore bodies. as they now have Iractica1ly been proven to extend through the entire length of the claims

 In sinking the wipze in the Sapphire tunnel on the Coronado company's claims at Metcalf, a strike of rich glance and sulphide ore was made last week which will run close to 50 per cent. The winze is going down in a body of fine concentrating ore, about eight feet in width, upon which a drift has been run each way from the top of the winZe for about 100 feet The mine is already opened sufficiently to produce several hundred tons daily. The lower tunnel on the Emerald is being driven in on the same lead of ore, and is being pushed with vigor. The ground is so soft that the tunnel is being advanced several feet each day. This tunnel is several hundred feet lower than the winze on the Sap phife. The Coronado has made most wonderful showing since commencing work, which has had the effect of ad- vancing the price of shares from sS to 8, and the Era is now informed that DO more stock will be sold at the latter figure. !5a.-- tt.s

MINING LAWS APPLY TO OIL

A decision of much interest to the people of the west as well as the land grant railroads, was rendered by the supreme court of the United States on Tuesday of this week, when il was definitely and finally decided that oil bearing lands are mineral lands. The question has been in controversy for many years, and has been before the lower courts and the department Of the interior many times. The action in which the court of last resort handed down the decision mentioned was brought by the Northern Pacific rail road company, but probably the South ern Pacific is adFersey affected to the largest extent. The court held that all lands containing oil are mineral lands; that they are therefore exempt from railroad ownership under the land grant acts, and that the mining laws of the United States apply to them and govern their working.
 If the dispatches correctly interpret the decision, there can be no further , question on the point. The oil indus lIN III "lll- Ol NOulSN, AN ceive a, fresh impetus from the settle ment of the long continued contro- versy.
