OLD DOMINION.
August Breaks Ali Production Rec
 cords at the Big Mine,

Boston.-The Old Dominion mine promises to make for the month of August the best record in its career. with an output approximaUing 2,OoO,- COG pounds of copper.
 President Smith anticipates a pro- duction from the Old Dominion smell ter, which includes the output of the United Globe mines and custom ores. for the month of August. in excess of 3.400,000 pounds, which will be the banner month to date.
 Old Dominion is making very favor able developments under ground, es- pecially into territory east of the 10th level and west of the 9th level. It is little too early to make estimates regarding Old Dominion's s cost of making copper, as it is still obliged to make capital expenditures from earnings s150.000 must short ly be expended for the equipment of "C''shaft and necessary pumping ma chinery. and s75,006 for a 250-ton reverbatory furnace.
 The reverbatory furnace will save much of the fine material and conserve the sulphur. The blast furnace sIag will betreated in the reverDeratories, which will reduce the company's cop per losses probably to 20-100ths of l per cent.
 The average of the Old Dominion ores now going 10 the smelter is be- tween per cent and per cent. The sulphide ore problem, which has for many years confronted the former and present management of Old Dominion, appears to be settled. for there is no longer any question in the minds Of the management that with further de velopment a large quantity of sul- phide ores will be brought to light. Regarding the question of ore re serves. while it is not possible to ex- present it in figures, Rr. Tticketts l makes the frank statement that they are ten times greater than when we l first took hold of the property" | Old Dominion would appear to be at the threshold of it's best estate. as the entire property, both underground and at the surface, was never in pos ition to yield larger results for share | holders.
