 News of Globe District
 Two strikes of sulphide ore which will be of considerable importance to Globe district were reported yesterday, one by the Old Dominion company and the other by the Arizona Commercial. The first strike was made in the Gray shaft of the Old Dominion and the Ari- zona Commercial strike was made in the Copper Hill mine.
 On the 800 level of the Copper Hill a body of sulphide ore was encountered Sunday which glves promise of becom ing one of the finest on any property of the company. Today Superintendent w. s. Sultan turns over the Arizona Commercial properties to the new su- perintendent, H. B. Shell, and his last official act was to wire President Am ster last evening of the strike.
 The ore struck is not a high grade copper, but it carries considerable iron and sulphur. The assays have not as yet been completed but it is estimated that the ore runs about 40 per cent iron 25 per cent sulphur and two or three per cent copper. Nine feet of ore has already been gone through and the ore seems to be getting better.
 Like Bisbee Ores
 Information concerning the O. D. strike is difficult to b. ain, but it is learned from an authentic source that it is one of the best bodies ever uncovered in the district. The ore was encountered on the crosscut at about depth of 750 feet in the Gray shaft, and yesterday they were in six feet of ore. It is un- derstood that the ore is a chalcopyrite and very similar to the high grade Bisbee sulphides. Those who are fa- miliar with the ground and formation interpret the body as a spur of the Buffalo vein, which is not great dis tance from where the strike was made.
 Globe Cons. May Get it
 The Buffalo vein is supposed to run through the property of the Globe Con solidated, which is about l,5OO feet dis tant from where the ore was encoun- tered Sunday. It is believed that the shaft on the Gem claim of the Globe will encounter the same ore at depth of about 1000 feet. The news of the s,rlke created a considerable demand for stock of the Globe Consolidated and there was heavy local demand for the stock yesterday afternoon.
 President smith Leaves
 Charles s. Smith, president of the Old Dominion Mining & Smelling com pany, will leave this morning for Fl Paso, where he will meet Dr. James Douglas tomorrow. Mir. Smith will be accompanied by w. R. Jackson of Bos- ton, who is with him on his visit here.
 B. C. Gleason, who returned to Globe Saturday from trip to Pinal county and Phoenix, brings news of an important mining deal in which he is heavily interested. Of tho deal the Florence Blade says:
 B. C. Gleason of Globe and Gene WoodLury, superintendent of the Su- perstition mines in the Rogers district, were here Thursday and closed deal for the Quinn interests in those prop critics, paying s8,OOO cash therefor.
 They had with them some of the rich est ore ever found in that district. It shows both virgin silver and virgin gold. These specimens are from new strike made this week that will cause boom iu the company's stock.
 Gene Woodbury is one of the best miners in the country. and we may add in mining parlance, that he has great nose for ore." He seems to scent it from afar and can go straight to it. These properties yielded large amount of phenomenally rich silver ore during the early eighties, but the operators of the properties in those days were fol- lowing only rich veinlets, and owing to the great cost of transportation and supplies at that time, could not make it pay. The properties remained aban- doned for years until Gene Woodbury came along and carefully examined them. It did not take his practical eye long to see that the former owners had been following mere feeders. He relocated the claims and began sys- t,matic search for the mother vein and has found it in contact between granite and porphyry. The rich strike alluded to above is in this vein and Gene and his partners, consisting of his brother, mother and B. c. Gleason, will soon find themselves on easy street, while Pinal county will have another great property added to her list of bo- nanza mines. The company. after pay ing for the Quinn stock, has $5OOO left in it's development fund, and $12,OOO more has been subscribed and will be paid in at once.
 Later on we will be able to give a detailed description of this new pro- ducer. It lies about 35 miles north of Florence in the continuation of the old Silver King and Superior mineral belt. It will be only ten miles from the Flor ence and Superior raiload, which will be constructed during the coming win ter.
