DEVELOPMENTS FOR PAST WEEK
AT GLOBE.


Globe district during the past week,
although the presence of half dozen
noted mining engineers in the city
has led to rumors of new deals for
mining property. There has been a
gradual improvement throughout the
district although shipments have been
temporarily suspended or impedcd at
some of tne mines which freight their
ore in 20 the smeltcr, and there has
been some difficulty in receiving sup.
plies.
what IL believed TO be the Buffalo
vein has been struck on the 18th level
Of the Old Dominion. AZ a point in the
crosscut about $50 feet from Il shaft.
The Buffalo vein was penetrated on the
10th level and rs il is over 20 feet wide
on that level, development of the vein
on the 10Th will be watched with con.
siderable interest. On the 10th the vein
carries little or no mineral, it's contents
being lcachcd out matte and burnt iron.
when the vein was struck on the 18th,
water came in from the top Of the
crosscut, and although the flow Is small,
IL has impeded the work Of cutting in.
to the vein and ascertaining its con-
tents. Indications, however, favor n
good body of ore, as several large
chunks Of sulphide ore have been taken
from the breast Of the crosscut.
High grade suipnide ore is being ship
ped from the Maggie tunnel Of the Old
Dominion. one Of the oldest workings
Of the company. A Wine IL being sunk
in the vein at distance OF I 900 feet
from the mouth of the tunnel and an
assay of a general sample from the
Wine at a depth Of 20 feet, showed IL
per cent copper and "a per cent sulphur.
A crosscut is being driven on the 10th
level TO intercept this same vein, which
may DO cut soon.
Development Of the 18th level con.
tinues slowly and Stopping has not yet
been started. There has been no change
Of moment in the character Of the ore
in the footwsll drift west, nor in the
crosscut which is tended to explore the
other veins. The crosscut on the 18th
level IL now about 65 feet from the
Wine and it is expected to reach sui.
pnide vein No. l in a few days, as IL
should be cut at a distance of 30 or %
feet from the Wine.
A stock Of sulphide ore is being ne.
cumulated at the smeltcr through the
recent temporary shutting down Of two
Of the four furnaces which were in OPP
Grafton. II is believed that two other
| furnaces will be started some time dur.
ing the coming week, although no defn.
tie conclusion has been reached by the
management to that effect. Owing To
the bad roads the shipments from the
Continental are light and those from
the Gibson and Independence are like.
Wise cufthiIeh.
Another good strike was made during
| the week at the Limestone shaft Of the
Superior & Boston, high grade carbon
ates coming in, in the east drift on the
3rd level. The face Of the drift shows
about 30 inches of ore watch will run
about 0 per cent, and which il very sim
| liar To the ore in the same vein on the
End level. The west drift on the Black
Hawk vein in the Great Eastern shaft
shows considerable improvement. The
| small stringers of rich ore with which
the vein IL barred, are growing in
width and ore from the drift is being
sorted for shipment. Conditions are
also improving Mt the Black Oxide mine
of the company and there il a consid.
| cradle tonnage Of ore on the dump,
ready for shipment.
The north crosscut on the 18th level
of the Gem has passed the point at
which the Gem vein was expected to
be cut, by about 25 feet, but M yet
there are no indications Of ore. The
vein was penetrated on the 5th level,
where II was practically barren and
recent development on the l2tn indi.
Gates that il Hattened out more than
was expected by the management. Gen.
cral Manager Mccarthy believes that
the vein will be struck in n few days.
There have been no new developments
in the Mallory shaft.
At n depth of SO feet in the winze
OF the Black Hawk shaft on the 9Th
level, water level was reached and sink
ing was suspended. Drifting was con-.
menced on the vein in botn directions.
