BIG ORE STRIKE
 AT THE OLD DOMINION
Ore Was Found In Place Where 1t Was Not Expected As Shaft Was Sunk Outside of 0rebody,

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. A.-What will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most important ore discoveries ever made in the district Is the strike made recently in c shaft of the Old Dominion, where large body of OK Ides, running we'll in copper, was en countered between the eighth and ninth levels. The size of the body has not yet been determined, but all in. dications point to it's being a very large and solid one.
 The find is of more than ordinary importance because of the fact that no ore was expected in that vicinity.
 The shaft was sunk outside the main ore body, for the purpose of un- watering the mine and to secure a better formation for sinking.
 The strike of ore without the foot wall demonstrates that there is far more ore on Old DuminIou ground than was ever anticipated by the most sanguine.
 At the Gray mine of the Old Do minion, rich ore has recently been encountered in the crosscut from the drift on the 7G0 level, which has tap l ped the Nevada vein. The vein was widened out to considerable breadth and there is now fifteen feet of stop. | ing room in the crosscut. About for. | ty tons of ore ia being mined daily from thls vein and shipped to the Old Dominion shelter.
 The Shannon is now operating two | furnaces 46x92 inches. but 1t has re- gently bought and will shortly install a big new furnace or the Montana | type with a size 4Gx1S6 inches, having twice the capacity Of the present fur naces and enabling a double output. 1 The extreme depth reached by | Shannon Is 250 feet, but it has pien- lty of ore in sight. and they are pre- pairing to open the body up to ex' treme depth.
 The Globe Consolidated is doing work at the Mallory, which is bearing excellent results, and the sulphlde vein encountered recently has again been crosscut in the drift on the 460 level l60 feet from the shaft and a distance of 400 feet from the point where it was first cut.
 Two strikes were made in the same drift, the sulphide showing being about three feet wide the ore of which assays between and per cent and twofoot streak of high grade oxides which will run about 10 per cent. The whole face of the drift is now in ore. i Prescott.
 The Hassayampa district, among the oldest organized mining districts Tn the territory. is sgog with excite ment over a rich strike of ore made
 in the Ten Spot vein, when a solid
 body of heavy sulphide of iron ore rich in copper and gold. was encoun
 tered in a crosscut being run from the
 290-foot level of shaft on the Storm
 Cloud group of mines, owned by H. J Heemer.
 The thickness of the paystreak ha! mot yet been determined. but work fl
 being pushed ahead and 1t Is expect
 ed that the footwall of the great veil
 will be struck soon. One Of the deep est shots in the face penetrated tht rich find two feet. Great was the sur prise of the workman wno found tho face of the opening a glittering mas: of sulphides. No estimate of thu } amount of the ore Or its richness car iyet be made.
 The Rainbow group of mines ha! ' been taken over by the Baltimore
