GLOBE MINES

 GOODPROGREss
Smal Properties Are Gradually Resuming 0perationS-LotS Of Sulphide Ore For Old Do- minion Shelter.

The following resume of operations in the Globe mining district is from the Silver Belt
 With the beginning of the present week, conditions in the Globe mining district are vastly better than they have been for some time and the out look is far brighter than it has been at any time since the recent financial depression and the slump in the price of copper. The gradual resumption or operations at a number of the smali mines and increasing operations at the larger ones are more noticable, and normal conditions will govern throug- out the districe in a very short time. Several companies which were forced to shut down when the depression came have resumed work and several more will rsume this week. Among these are the Arizona Colorado company, the properties of which are located north of the Old Dominion mine, and the Ari- zona National on Lower Pinto Creek. At the latter mine a force of twelve miners will be put to work tomorrow to resume sinking and cros-cutting. At the Arizona-Colorado mine activity was resumed during the week with gid force of men. The main shaft will be sunk to the 500 level and the ground will be thorougly explored from that point. There is also an excellent chance that operations will be resumed at the mine of the Globe-Arizona com pany, the mine of which adjoins the Buckeye Of the Old Domonion several miles east of the city. The stockhold- CTS have secured an extension of the bond, which was due yesterday, until May Is and Duluth broker has guar anteed to place suffi cient stock to pas the owner in full for the elaine The final payment is s40,000, and focal of. ficials of the comptny confidently eX- pect the mine will be in operation with in two months or less time. The com pany has a splendid showing of ore in the shaft from which about 600 tens were shipped to the Old Dominion smelter last spring and summer. Al most all of the stock is held in escrow in this city. .a
 Another mine that will resume oper- ations this week is the Five Points on Pinto creek A. c. Lockwood, one Of the principal shareholders of the con- pany, and an experienced miner, will take charge of the property today. De veiopment operations have been car fied on at the Five Points in a des- ultory manner ever since the Mitchell fiaSco of last year and a good high grade vein has been opened. It is ex- pected to begin shipping ore at once, which without sorting will I'll mas high as 15 per cent.
 Miami Copper Company
 An added impetus to the mining in dustry of the district will be given dur ing the next few weeks by greatly aug mented operations in the Miami Cop per company, the Lewisohn company. which has been constantly developing the Oates-Newman group of claims six miles west of Globe. The Company come time since reached the limit of it's operations with its present plant, and a new one was ordered, together with ether machinery necessary for the continuation of the work on larg- CT scale. The new hoisting plant con sisting of two 125-horse-power boilers and a new hoist, has arrived and is being installed. An air compressor and five small pumps have also been -e- ceived. At present. the company is working a force of about fifty men and this force will probably be doubled within a month. Twenty-Five or thirty additional men will be yut to work about the fifth of March, when the new plant will have been installed. The Miami is a closed corporation and was recently organized. Over a million tons of ore have already been blocked cut in the mine, all of which is a low grade concentrating sut- phide.
 Old Dominion
 Mine development during the week has been entirely satisfactory through out the district At the Old Dominios. the c shaft is down to the ninth level and sinking ceased here owing to the pIiide ore is being extracted from the fourteenth and sixteenth levels and water below that level Sufficient sui- along the Kirkey vein to keep the smelter supplied and there has been no let-up in reduction activities, four furnaces still being in operation.
 On the sixteenth level preparations are being made to begin stcping in the drift which is being driven along the foStwall, westward. The ore in tne drift is gradually becoming better. Along the wall where the most de sirable sulphur ores have been found there is now eight feet of this char acter of ore which runs four per cent copper and almost 50 per cent sui- phur. The sulphur contents are be- coming heavier as the drift goes wes, ward The work of crosscutting to the other sulphide veins on the 16th is continuing slowly.
 Arizona Commercial
 From recent developments at the Black Hawk mine of the Arizona Com mercial. very bright future for 1T can be forecasted The Black HawA vein at depth of $40 feet was. dur ing the week, shown to be 20 feet wide. a general sample rshpying the coDDer contents to be between seven and eight per cent The vein was ecut from a depth of forty feet n ine winza in the east workings during the week. The hanging wall was not en- countered, so that the entire widtn oi the vein has not been demonstrated, but beyond the point reached in the crosscut, broken up ground was en- countered which, although mineral ized. has no commercial value. The Black Hawk Is shipping about 30 tors daily to the smelter and Superintend' ent Shell expects to increase these shinments within ten days The Ari- zona Commercial ,rafirpad IS hanling about 100 tons daily from the Gray shaft of the United Globe to the smeltsr. This is a low grade sui'
