Old Dominion Smelter Will Be Ready for Work on
 July 10,

Old Dominion has entered upon the ! fourth week nf one of the busiest months in it's history and with laTg- CT force employed than ever before l Good progress is being made on new l construction but this work which is 1 on a large scale. will not be complet l ed for at least eight or nine months i The extension of the smelter building and the erection of the fifth furnace iare well advanced and 1t is now ex- pected that the new furnace will be ready to blow in by July 10 With five furnaces fn blast from that date the production for the month should ! be $500 GOO pounds. and from August 1 1. the monthly output for the remaind- ! CT of the year is expected to be about 3.750 000 pounds. The figures for June from present indications win be about 100000 pounds
 ExcavatiaS fer the new dust cham | Der and stack is under way. Construc ton of the coke bins has been 10 some extent interfered with by the heavy receipts Of coke which has been piled upon and above the site of the new bins and at other places most avail able Coal and oil are also arriving 1 freely; in fact, the Old Dominion is accommodating large quantities of sup tplies of all kinds. daily receipts run ming from forty-five to nny cars.
 Much Surplus ore.
 | As regards ore. the company is ieuually as well fixed, the surplus in ithe stock piles at the present time be- | ing upwards of 15.b00 rons. II is safe to say that DO other mine in the southwest is so well suprlied with ore and fuel as the Old Dominion.
 Mine development is also advancing rapidly and new ore is being blocked out On several levels. On the I4th level No. crosscut yesterday reached the footwall of suiphide vein No. 1 aud today should be in good ore. The connection between Nos. 2 and 3 icrosscuts is about completed, which
 will give better ventilation. This drift 100 feet long, is all in high ! grade sulphide The winze on the l14th level Is down forty feet and will be sunk to 200 feet as rapidly as pos lsible and the 18th level then opened. Some time in September the first
 crosscut on the 16th Ievei should be in sulphide ore.
 There has been no interruption in sinking B shaft, which is now well 0e-
 low the 1lth level. Good headway is
 also being made in driving the cross
 cut at the 10th level of B shaft, which will open up 200 feet of Old Denim Il
 ground and then penetrate Buffalo Hlll on United Globe ground. The erosscut has great possibilities of en- countering important ore bodies in E.-
 boiler which has been in service at c
 shaft wss moved to B shaft last week.
 It was hauled part of the way on the
 Old Dominion railroad and the old
 Phelps Dodge traction engine pulled it
 the remainder of the distance.
 |, Slow Work in Drifts.
 The drifts being TUT rom A shaft to connect with c saa-t on tae 9th and 10 tn levels have made rather
 slow progress owing to the heavy wet
 ground which is being penetrated
 The 9th level drift should be com
 pleted by the end of July and the 10th
 level drift about a month later Then ithe work of opening C shaft to deep Ter levels vii be started.
 The management has arranged to Igive employees holiday on the Fourth iof July and the layoff of the mine
 force will be prolonged to four days
 in order to repair one of the hoisting engines and other machinery which has been under a heavy and constant lstrain for some time. At the smelter : the furnaces will be banked and there will be nothing doing between the hours of a. n. and II D. m. All the employees will be given an opportunity : to celebrate.
 Arizona Commercial.
 Owing to breakdown of the Shay railroad there have been no ere snip
 ments to the Old Dominion smelter . since Friday. Repairs have been wired for and they are expected to ar 2 rive by express in a few days, when . operations on the railroad will again be in progress. Development work and ; the extraction of ore at the Copper Hill and the Black Hawk mines of the : company continue with excellent re suits and a considerable tonnage is being taken from the open cuts on
 the surface of the Cochise claim.
 Globe Consolidated.
 All efforts at the Gem shaft of the
 Globe Consolidated are now concen- trated in sinking and the shaft yes 7 terday was 755 feet deep. There has been no change in the formation and
 none is expected until the shaft is at least 200 feet deeper, although there would be no surprise if one of the many veins known to traverse Bufa To Hili were encountered at any time as 1t is all practically unexplored ter ] ritory. The crosscuts on the 500 lev J tel. on which work was discontinued, have been sealed with concrete dams
 The Globe-Boston shaft is now 65l 2 feet deep in diorite.
 Superior and Boston
 The Superior and Boston is now
 sinldrg in it's three active properties
 the Greet Eastern, the Limestone and 3 the Black Oxide. In the latter a wiaze g is being sunk on the vein in the west r drift and is still in ore, which grows < richer with depth. Sinking was com. s menced again in the Limestone shaf, i last week and tse ore recently en
 eountered in the crosscut will be { iopened from another level.
