 NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-With the exception of the Hill issues the list was generally higher with the strength maintained up to the close. A good sized short interest seems to have been created during the decline the last week and the greater part of the buying today was attributed to shorts. Public interests have in, creased materially but the lack of pressure nas given the market a steadier tone. The pressure in the Hill issues was accompanied by the usual number of bears rumors, but re ports were indefinite and the attack regarded as ruse to disfodge long , stocks.
 There was not much news to affect trading and 1t does not seem likely that the advance will extend much further unless public buying in ereases materially.

With the face of No. crosscut now
 in seventeen feet and seven feet wide,
 all of which is in ore running from l10 per cent to IA per cent copper, l it may be said that the developments Iof the past week at the Anderson Apache mine near Hachita have not only fulfilled every promise recently held out. but have distaneed even the
 most saguine hopes of the manage
 ment with the small force at work there, Superintendent Houlton in his
 last report to the management in Douglas says he is taking out sixteen
 buckettuiis of ore daiiy. G5i1if5;;.. ..if'ss the present output of the mine from the

Thursday No. was in 16.5 feet and an average muck sample ran IA per cent copper. The face is gradually becoming softer Small caves are be- ing encountered in which soft iron oxides are mixed with exceptionally high grade ore. Six men are being worked on the face of this crosscut
 Attention is also being given No. 5 and crosscuts. They are stopping in 5 and the ore for about three feet above the old back has been opened. It is improving as the work goes up and it is the intention of Superintend- ent HouIton to start raising there s:::sscc:casly in few days. No. is in 22.5 feet and indications are constant iy becoming more favorable.

(From Globe Silver Belt,

Globe continues to grow in favor with eastern mining people and the past few months have witnessed a wide distribution of the shares of the leading mining companies operating here. This district is now very gen erally admitted to be one of the most impoI tant of the copper producing dis tricts of the United States, and be cause of it's large extent and the linn. ited development of it's copper de posits. the tremendous possibilities of the district for the production of cop per are recognized in mining circles.
 Old Dominion, Miami. Arizona Com mercial. Superior & Boston, Warrior, and Nationsl Mining Exploration have all received frequent and favorable no tice in mining and financial publiea, tions, and also in the daily press of New York and Boston The steadily increasing production of copper by the Old Dominion company during pc riod of great depression in the indus try. and the phenomenal ore develop ments on the Miami Copper conEpany's property, have had much to do with creating a better sentiment among mining men for Globe district.
 Importance of Miami Development.
 The Miami section possesses tre- mendous potentiality for the expansion of mining in Globe district and a growth in population and general business that should. in a few years. place Globe in advance of all other mining cagnps in the southwest.
 The Miami company is continuing developmen5 with most satisfactory results. extending the drifts and cross cuts in the ore body, the limits of which are not yet in sight, and adding enormously to the ore blocked out So great have been the ore develop ments that we understand the com pany has decided to increase the ini- tial capacity of its mill from 1000 tons to 2000 tons.
