Up.

GLOBE, April 1S.-TIle Old DO-
minion company win soon have lns
full battery of furnaces in operation
at its reduction works, for the firsI
time since the slump in copper began
early last fall. The fifth furnace
will be blown in today or tomorrow
and it is expected that tie three con
verter stands viii be put to use.
/ The No. 6 furnace has not been COM

Grafton within two weeks. Ii is not
known what reason prompts the COM
pany to run its smelter to full capac-
ity, with the present low price of cop
per as it was semi-officially limited a
short time ago that until copper ad-
vanced, the output of the reducuOG
works would be kept at the stage "a
curtailment, which became effective
when the metal slunped The prouuc,
ton for April will be larger than for
any month since copper has been re-
duced from its classification as a
near-precfous metal.
Development work at the Old Do
minion continues with excellent re-
steady betterment in the grade of
ore being opened up. It is still too
early to tell much about the charac-
ter of the Buffalo vein on the 18th
level, although the indications are
excellent for valuable sulphide ore
body. The water on the 18th leyel in
the west country shows no signs of
subsiding and there has been no APP
preciable change in the water on the
upper levels to indicate a draining of
them through the 18th level crosscut.
Better progress is being made in the
drift on the 18Th level, since the DRIFT
was shifted over to the hanging wall
side, where the ore is more solid.
Globe Consolidated.
The east drift on the Boston vein
in the Mallory shaft OF the GioDe
Consolidated is showing up splendIo-
ly. Yesterday six feet of good SUI
hide ore was struck in the vein, which
is the best showing the company has
yet obtained. From present indica-
tons, the Boston or Mallory vein will
prove one of the most valuable assets
Of the company. In tAe Gem snail
about fifty feet or porphyry was cut
in the north crosscut on the 18th lev
ell and 1t is believed by the local man.
agement that the vein which was ex-
pected at this point has shifted or
f1attened out more than was expected.
The crosscut will be continued and

veins which traverse Buffalo Hill.
Superior & Boston.
The Superior & Boston company
will begin this week to ship ore to the
Old Dominion smelter from the Great
Eastern mine. The ore bins have
been almost completed and in a lew
days the company will ship at the
rate of forty to fifty tons per day to
the smelter. Only ore taken out in
development work at present consists
of raising and sinking in the Black
Hawk vein and in both the upraise
and winZe the ore retains its excel
lent grade, assays showing to II pes
cent copper. At the Black Oxide all
work has been temporarily suspended
with the exception of raising from the
tunnel and at the Limestone shaft no
work is being done at present. The
new three-compartment shaft on the
Iron King claim to develop thai ana
the Black Oxide claim, is progress
ing in good style and the first two
sets are now being installed. The
equipment of the new shaft will con-
sist of a hosting plant which will en-

consist of two 200-horsc power boil
ers and a ten-drill compressor The
gallows frame will be sixty feet high
and there will be two top landings to
accommodate double deck cages
National Mining.
Development work at the Iron Cap
mine is being pushed in vigorous
manner, especially in the Wine in
the west drift, which is now about
sixty feet deep. Stopping is expected
to begin this week and regular ship
ments to the smelter will follow. At
the company's Fumarole mine in the
ella mountains, the 500 level has been
reached in the shaft aud prosecuting
has begun. A plan for extensive lat
eral work will be followed
Arizona Commercial.
Shipments from the Black Eawh
mine were not SO heavy as usual dur
ing the last week owing to difficulty
In catching up soft ground on the 9TH
level. The new shaft on the Eureka
claim IS ABOUT Z6O 1eeL deep.
Miami Copper.
No word has as yet been received
regarding the subscriptions for lns
Miami Copper company nor of the al
lotment of shares. The Boston News

which opened last Monday for stock
in the Miami Copper company, are
various agreements entered into be-
tween vendors Of the properties max
ing up the Miami company's holdings
and amounts expended in develop
ment, etc.
During November. 1905, the Gener-
al Development company, from which
concern the Miami company pur-
chased its lands, expended in deveiVp
ment work .$4.125. In the year 1907.
there was also expended in the saIliS
way approximately 100000, the rec
