GLOBE VISITED
/. BY FOREMOST
MINING men
Past Week Has Shown Ijn-
usual Activity and Interest
in the Various Properties of
Well Known District.
IGlohe BeItl

Globe Belt)
The week has been notable for the
advance in the price OF copper to Id IL
cents for electrolylic, the highest ng-
ure at which the metal has been quot
ed for more than q year. Predictions
of Is cent copper before New Year
have been freely made, and some very
good authorities have expressed the
opinion that I6 cents win be the rul-
ing price before many months. GloDe
has had a visitor during the pass
week, S. S. Rosenstaum of New YORK,
one of the best posted copper men an
the United States, formerly with
A. Heinze and now with the Lewis
ohns. Mr.. Rosenstaum is very bun
ish on copper, and predicts that the
metal will go to Is cents next year.
he bases his prediction upon the enor
nous consumption OF copper that Is
certain to take place in the electrical
industry, and particularly the heavy
requirements for the identification OIL
railroads and railroad terminals, as
soon as normal conditions of business
are restored. However, Mr.. Rosen-
staum believes that al advance to 10
cent per pound would not be to the
benefit of the copper business but
that a more moderate and stable price
for copper would be to the best inter
est of the producer as we'll as the con-
sumner.
Interest among mining men and in
vestors is indicated by the presence
here from week to week of men prom
inent in the copper mining business.
Among the arrivals during the weeh
were Julius A. Lewiston and S. ,.
Rosenstraum of New York; S. w.
CIawson of Los Angeles, formerly
mine superintendent of the Copper
Queen; Thos. Kavanaugh of Tucson,
we'll known locally as a successful
mining man; F. H. FrUbert, consulting
engineer for the Superior & Boston,
and F. A. woodward, general manag-
er of the National Mining Exploration
company. Those returning from lie
east say that in Boston and New York
the merits of the Globe mining as
trict are better known and appreclat-
ed than formerly, and that invest
ments here are growing more ana
more in favor.
Eureka Shaft in Big Ore.
The feature of the weeks mining
glance ore in the Eureka shaft of the
Arizona Commercial Copper company.
Tuesday night three feet of glance ore
was encountered ninety feet below
the 6O0-foot level, and yesterday ten
feet deeper this rich stratum in the
vein had widened 10 six feet, that aY-
erages from 20 to 25 per cent copper.
The shaft has been in the vein the
20 II
have steadily increased. A sample
taken Friday, twenty-three feet across
the vein, the full width of the shaft,
eliminating the richest ore, assayed
better than seven per cent copper.
Yesterday Assayer Tumpkey ground
up some of the tale that runs through
the vein, to test fol- gold and silver,
and found that it was filled with
fakes of native copper. The discoY-
cry was a surprise. The whole vein
appears to be well mineraliZed. and
it is now confidently expected that a
big body of carbonate and glance ore
will be opened on the 700-foot level.
The Arizona Commercial has 1000
feet of the Black Hawk vein, and the
ore possibilities have been tremen-
dously increased by the strike in the
Eureka shaft, which has added very
largely to the value of the property.
At the Black Hawk workings the west
drift from the bottom of the winZe
continues in good carbonate ore.
Superior & Boston.
Continued improvement marks the
progress of development of the Super
Tor & Boston property. On the 4SO-
loot level of the Great Eastern mine,
Of win
has been stripped disclosing fifteen
feet of high grade carbonate ana
glance ore.
The east drift on this level is still
in ore. The company received Tor
ore shipped in September s25,000,
which paid all the expenses for the
month, and of which a balance OIL
$500 remained. At the Gardner shaft
the south crosscut on the 400 foot
level is in 100 feet and should cut
the Black Oxide lode at about forty
feet farther. The north crosscut has
advanced about fifty feet. The new
Great Eastern shaft is going down
slowly. This shaft is soon to De
equipped with a second motion,
geared hoist, and Nordberg compress
or, a part OF the equipment having
been already ordered The Superior
& Boston company is erecting twelve
slightly cottages for its employees.
About the usual amount OF ore is 60
ing to the FL PaSo smelteT, but no
effort is being made to increase the
shipments, the management prefer
ring to hold the ore in expectation Of
a higher copper market later on.
Old Dominion.
There is very little that is new to
report in regard to the operations OF
| Old Dominion. -Four furnaces Of the
smelter are In blast and the produc.
| ton Tor November should equal the
October output of 2,6s5,S91 pounds OF
blister copper, which was the largest
Of any month this gear. The better
price that will be received tor copper
this month should increase the earn
ings to $4,000. Development work
is progressing satisfactorily. Shaft A
has reached a depth of about $50 feet
