IMPRESSED BY
 GLOBE DISTRICT
Hayden, Stone Correspondent Writes of Visit to Globe Mines in Glowing Terms-Praises old Dominion, Globe Con. and Superior & Boston.

A correspondent of Hayden, Stone & Co. who visited here recently writes to the firm, the letter being printed in the weekly market letter of the Boston company Local conditions are we'll de- scribed, but the writer errs in stating that large amounts of sulphides are still being sent in here from out of the district. The letter follows;
 "The Superior & Boston impressed me as being easily the most promising pros pect in the camp. They have three dis tinct workings, each of which is in ore; the first is tunnel, which has cut the Black Oxide vein at depth of about 300 feet; the ore is low value in copper but contains a great deal of iron, in- dicating good copper values beneath. The second working is in the shaft of which, I understand, is also in promis- ing vein matter. The third is shaft on the Black Hawk vein, 1855 feet in depth. l went down this and walked along the crosscut to the point where it had intercepted the vein, which looks extremely we'll Inasmuch as this property covers 4,500 feet of the strike of the vein and as the ore seems to be making from the Black Hawk of the Arizona Commercial in this direction, the possibilities here are tremendous.
 ''At the Globe Consolidated they have two shafts, of which only one is in ore, and that is not of commercial grade. The crosseut from the 50O-foot level on the Gem shaft, however, should within months time intercept two veins which are strongly defined on the surface Whether values are found here or not; the shaft will be continued to depth of HOO feet The energy of the management is very apparent and they are evidently making rapid pro gress in their exploratory work.
 s'I should say that the Old Dominion fully merited all the praises it has re- ceived. I did not go underground here, but had talk with MT. Hegardt, who explained the situation to me fully. They have, without any question, a whale of an ore body on the l4th level As against the maximum width of IA feet on the 18th level, the vein, as you know, at No. 2 erosscut, is now 80 feet wide and will average 10 per cent throughout its entire width. At No. 3 erosseut theye are thirty feet in the same class of ore and at this point have apparently encountered a horse, which they expect soon to pass through. The only difficulty at this vein is that the copper values outrun the sulphur, making it still necessary to import large amounts of sulphidc ore for huxing. The next step will be to sink a winze at the No. crosscut to the l6th level and come back along the vein to the No. erosscpt. If the ore body continues to widen, as seems prob able from its shallow pitch, its total width at this depth would be simply tremendous; this, however, would be the work of more than year.
 "The shelter seems to me to be a marvel of efficiency, everything possi- ble being accomplished by mechanical means. A fifth furnace is on the way and a sixth has been ordered, and they are contemplating ordering reverber- atory. Instead of the smelter being ahead of the mines, as was the case a few months ago, it is now literally glut- ted with ore. Mir Hegardt showed me hundreds of thousands of tons of slag which could be smelted at good profit, besides many thousand tons of custom ore and of their own ore, which they had not yet had an opportunity to treat. Mir. Hegardt confirms the prediction that they should be independent in the matter of sulphide ores within year s time. Viewed from this end of the line, there does not seem to be single out about the proposition.
 "Taken as a whole, I was amazed at the tremendous extent and correspond ingly large possibilities of the Globe camp. They have here an area eighty miles long, with strongly defined veins, most of which are well mineralized. :"
