 Du. ing the month or January th9 Old Dominion company produced ap- proximately 3,150.000 pounds of olis- ter copper, about 10000 pounds less than in December, but of this amount fully s6 per cent or about 20000 pounds less than in district district ores, the remaining four per cent rep resenting what was left in the stock pile of Shattuck and Cananea sul- phides, the last shipment of which arrived here in November. Approxi- mately S5 per cent of the copper pro duced came from the ores of the com pany's mines. This establishes new record for the Old Dominion com pany and the Globe district, where in sufficiency of sulphur for fluxing pur- poses has been a drawback for years.
 But the month of February will bring another record for the district. All of the ore from the outside dis tricts has been put through the fud- naces at the smelter and this month only Globe ores will be used. The Old Dominion company is now hoist ing enough sulphides daily from it's own mines and receiving enough in shipments from other mines in the district. to render shipments from the outside unnece ssary. Ever since the beginning of the present management of the Old Dominion. this has been the important end to be attained and it has been reached sooner than was expected.
 The I6th level of the Old Dominion mine is foremost in the eyes of the management as much depends on de- yelopments on that level. As the drift on the 18th goes westward, the ore is showing better values m cop. per and sulphur Some of the or recently extracted ran as hign as z" per cent in sulphur, this coming tr- = the hanging wall side. the drift anr between 9 and 30 tons are being hoisted daily, the ore going direct to the smelter.
 The progress in the 10th level crosS-cut into Buffalo Hill is being watched with much interest Already several small veins have been cut, all of which carry high grade sulphide ore, but the objective point is the Maggie vein which has not yet been reached.
 Steady shipments of ore are being received from the Gray mine of the United. Globe. It is sulphide ore, which has not been mined heretofore owing to the treatment charger, but concessions have been made owing to the desire for ore of that nature.
 The Black Hawk mine of the Ari- zona Commercial company is now ship ping at the rate of 30 tons of rich ore daily, which ought easily to pay operating expenses and net good in come to the country. The last two e-hs ,N, l,l per, most of the ore coming from the winze on the 9th level of the mine. The winze is showing improvement with every new foot of depth and the slip in which it is being sunk is grad ually widening. The new three com pertinent shaft of the Black Hawk is now 173 feet deep. according to yes terday's measurements
 According to the underground sur veys, the north crosscut on the APO level of the Great Eastern shaft oE the Superior & Boston company, is just twelve feet from the Black Hawk vein, which it is expected will be encount- cred early this week Already sev- eral stringers of ore have been cut in the croSscut and if they are any cri- terion of future developments the Great Eastern will be one of the rich est mines in the district. Three or these small veins have been pene- trated in the quartzite, respectively 4, 6 and inches wide General sam pies taken From the two last veins, assayed IS per cent and g per cent copper, respectively.
 The north crosscut on the 12th lev el of the Gem shaft of the Globe Con solidated is now 200 feet from the shaft. but as yet no ore has been en- eountered In the Mallory shaft drifting is still in progress both ways on the Mallory or Globe-Boston vein, and considerable lump sulphide run ming from 15 to 25 per cent is being hoisted. A crosscut to the southeast was started from the shaft on the 500 level of the Mallory last week, the purpose of which is to explore the Bird and Taylor faults, but it is not expected that there will be any de- velopments of importance in this crossscut for at least two months.
 The ore on the 450 level of the Iron Cap vein of the National Mining Ex- ploration company continues to show better values.
 The Inspiration company is prepar- ing for the installation of new ma crinery, at the mine aud in the mill
 The Arizona-Coiorado company ex poets to resume operations this week with a large force. Sinking will b1 resumed in the main shaft.
