BUT LITTLE MINING
 NEWS FROM GLOBE
Maggie Vein Is Cut On GroCad of United GIobe-lnterest
 in Superior 6 Boston.


 The only important mining news item of the week in the Globe district was the strike of the Maggie vein on the ground of the United Globe, by the Old Dominion company, the vein being struck in the crosscut on the 10th lev el from B shaft The first round of holes, after sinking the vein, was blast ed last evening, and good ore was opened up. Assays made during the week showed copper values running as high as 8 per cent and sulphur con: ideal smelling ore and thus far appears Ito be solid and compact body. Tt is thought that the vein will be about 12 feet in width and as soon as 1t is crosscut, drifting in both directions will begin. There are no known veins beyond this and the crosscut will not be continued. The management be- lieves that the Maggie vein will prove a valuable asset to the company.
 Development continues at the Old Dominion at tne same steady rate. On the 10th level the west drift is within thirty feet of the point at which an other crosscut will be driven through the vein and toward the other sul phide veins in the west end. On the 18th level crosscut which is now in sul- phide vein No. l, ore similar to that of the 16th is being encountered. though running somewhat lower in sulphur
 For the last four days only two fur naces have been in operation, one hay ing been closed down for repairs. It is planned to resume its operations to- day, the repairs having been complet- ed. There is a good supply of sul- phide ore now at the smelter, but there will be no hurry to blow in the re- maining furnaces until there is some favorable change in the price of cop per- and until shipments from the sur rounding mines become larger About fifty tons are arriving daily from the Continental mine of the company, 100 tons from the Gray and about ss tons from the Black Hawk mine of the Ari- zona Commercial
 Considerable interest is being taken in the development work at the Great Eastern shaft of the Superior & Bos- ton. The drift along the footwal of the Black Hawk vein Is now 100 feet west Of the point of intersection with crosscut No. 2 and within a few days work of the connection with the drift eastward from the Black Hawk shaft. When the connection is made both mines will have greatly improved ven Hlation. The ore in the drift contfn- ues to be of excellent grade, assays running from to a fraction over F per cent. With the Great Eastern and Black Hawk mines connected. the vein will be explored eastward, with 6 view of ascertaining the direction taken by the vein and with the ultimate view of selecting suitable site for the znsis working shaft. There is not suf1cienr surface showing to allow of the aeeur- ate tracing of the fault, without ua- derground exploratory work. A ear load of orc will soon be shipped to the smelter from the Black Oxide ssnHef. The Arizona Commercial railroad vfH be extended to the Great Eastern shaft and work will be commenced in few days.
 The new smart Of the Arizona CoM- mercial company to more thoroughly develop the Black Hawk mine, Is now down 240 rect
 There have been no developments at the Globe Consolidated shafts. The future copper vein in the Gem shaft should be struck in a few days in the 12th level north crosscut
 The Arizona-Colorado company, norta of the Old Dominion, Is doing agres- sive development work. Sinking is ia progress in the shart, which is now about 760 feet deep.
 The Miami Copper company win bs putting on new men in few days. as the new hoisting plant and other addi- tional equipment is ready for business. The Red Springs shaft will be sunk to the 1000 foot level. with new levels st every 100 feet.-Silver Belt.
