OPTIMISTIC RESUME
 OF GLOBE DISTRICT All ed Dominion Furnaces Are Roaming and No Interrupt
 ion Expected.

Giefe district continues to hold first place among Arizona copper camps in the extent and importance of develop neres end the number of men em- Afuyes ta mining. Every succeeding week witnesses an enlargement of ope- rations. Several companies have been kampsred by the slow delivery of much needed machinery. Superior and Bostuz. Calumet and Globe and Globe Arisosa have suffered from this cauee. hut hotsts for these companies, ordered several months ago, arrived last week sna they will now be able to push de ye4opment work. Ore shipments con tinHe large and although Old Dominion is unable to treat custom ores, the company continues to receive all ship neHts.
 Al! Furnaces Running.
 May promises to be a good month for Old Dominion. Four furnaces are running and there is not likely to be any interruption of smelting during the month With the exception of some low grade sulphide from Cana nea. all the ore being smelted is from the eompany's own mines. The four teenth level sulphida stope is supply ins large tonnage. as is also the big west stope on the ninth level. The Kirky vein on the tenth level con tinueS to yield a very good grade of sniphids. Connections are heinz made to open the KirBy vein on the eleventh and twelfth levels and a drift win also be run to open it on the fourteenth No. 4 croSscut on the fourteenth has been started and should reach sulphide vein No. 1 before the end of this month. The station on the fourteenth level has been cut and the ganowS frame for the electric hoist is being erected. The winZe, which is to be sunk to the sixteenth level, will be erected this week and should be com pleted by August l. when drifting and crosscutting will be sarted to open the great sulphide ore body on the six teenth level. B shaft is now almost down to the eleventh level and the connection with A shaft on the tenth should be made this month. The west drifts on the ninth and tenth levels are getting into the region where a heavy flow of water is likely to be encountered and for that reason are being driven rather slowly. However, these drifts should reach C shaft by the middle of June.
 Construction Delayed.
 Construction work is progressing well, although the delay in the arrival of structural steel for the extension 10 the smelter building may retard the erection of No furnace No. 1 converter stand is being moved to make room for the new furnace. It looks as though the construction now | under way and that projected will keep l large force employed for another I year and perhaps longer. Old Domin- l ion is growing So fast that it's future 1 possibilities cannot be measured.
 Receipts of coke have recently been more liberal. There are now 150 cars of coke between Bowie and Globe. | Fuel oil is still scarce and the man. agemeHt is compelled to burn coal al the mine. Delays in the arrival of ma chinery and coke are attributed to the freight congestion on the Rock Island due to a lack of motive power.
 Arizona Commercial.
 Arizona Commercial maintains its shipments of sulphide ore from the Copper Hin mine to the Old Dominion | snelteT and it Is also sending to the smelter iron ore carrying some. copper /. and three or four ounces of silver per ! ton. Shipments of silicious ore are also being made to Douglas. Pumps were installed in the Black Hawk shaft ! last week and sinking was resumed | yesterday afternoon. Six hundred feet | will be reached in the incline shaft | by the first of June and the sixth lev i cl will chen be opened.
 Superior and Boston.
 A marked improvement has taken l place in the west drift on the Black l oxide claim, which has been driven 1 with numerous seams of carbonate of copper. The showing is very encour- | aging. At the Crest Eastern shaft ] .crosscut is being run to the south on i the IGG-fCOt level and the north cross l cut is being continued to iutersect a 1 small vein that has, been located l north of the large vein that was pele- ! trated ten days ago. The Limestone shaft is down I24 feet and preparation l is being made 10 start a level aJ 1l9 i feet Globe Consolidated. .- l Tho JGaE-Iooked for ore in the Gem ! shaft of the Globe Consolidated has not as yet been encountered.
