OLD DOMINION IS RUSHING WORK
 ON SHELTER
Much Construction Now Going On In Additions and Grading
 of the Bullion Yard-Sinklne|
 Shafts,
(Globe Belt)

The striking feature of the Old Do minion's operations is the immense amount of construction work in pro gress, which is giving employment to several hundred men in addition to the regular forces. Preparations for in stalling No. furnace are well ad- yanced. The furnace foundation is ready, also the settler, and erection of the steel frame for the twenty-four foot extension to the converter shei is nearly finished. It win nos taKe over month to erect the furnace and make all connections and July 1 should see this worK completed and the new furnace ready to go into com mission.
 Construction of the proposed exten- sion to the smelter building proper, to be seventy feet in length, will pro- ceed as fast as the structural steel is received. The plans call for a sixth furnace which will probably be in. stalled next fall; also for another dust chamber and a great stack POO feet in height and having double the ca pacity of the present stack. Some of these proposed enlargements to the plant have yet to be passed upon by the eastern management. Professor James Douglas is expected in Globe within few days and there is little doubt that the plans as outlined will receive his approval.
 Much Grading Going On.
 Grading and concrete work for the Rew bullion yard extending 200 feet south of the smelter building has been under way for some time Grading for an extension to the ore bins and the enlargement of the smelter power house is also in progress. Construc- ton of the immense coke bins above the smelter is making good headway. The concrete retaining walls are be- ing put in and the hign railroad tres tie over the bins is about finished A large grading force is constructing the grade for the high line spur to con meet the Old Dominion railroad with the G. V. G. and N. Tine at Bankers garden. North Broad street will be spanned by a high steel bridge
 At A shaft excavation has been started for ten cylindrical steel ore bins, to flank the six bins of ore now in use and which arc urgently needed to handle the very large tonnage of ore-1200 tons daiiy-being hoisted through A shaft Grading is under way for large boiler house at shaft, where five Sterling boilers are to be placed to supply power for the great pumping plant of 5000 900 gal.

 The above enumeration Of the new construction work now under way and planned gives an idea of the rapidly growing operations Of the Old Domin ion and of it's great future, assured by the phenomenal ore developmeats in the lower levels of the mine.
