 4 rich strike was made on the Cooney mine last week at depth o 100 feet. Tn drifting through an un T explored block Of ground a body o borinite was encountered, which assay.
 9 per cent. copper, besides good gold and silver values. The body is l2O feet high, several hundred feet long,
 and Of undetermined width, as the
 drift is in eight feet of ore and the
 hanging wall not in sight. This i'm
 mense deposit is on the same level as
 the "old Cooney body" which was
 worked out by the former owner of
 the mine years ago, and why this
 block Of ground was left untouched,
 at that time is hard to say.

 The merger arrangements between the Old Dominion and United Globe are now effected under the laws of Maine and the properties are being worked under the new agreement. Over ll5, ,00O shares of stock in the old Dominion have agreed to the latest merger plan. Temporary re- ceiDts are now issued and with them trust receipts for assests. to be re- tained by the old Dominion company under this latest agree ment, and these assests are valued at $lO0,000.
