RICH STRIKE IS
MADE NEAR GLOBE
First Big Strike of High Grade
Ore Is Made On 450 Level
of Iron Cap Mine,

GLOBE, Jan. 13.-The National
Mining Exploration company has
made its first big strike, high grade
ore being encountered in the east
drift on the $50 foot level of the Iron
Cap mine Since the company com
menced operations early last year lit
tie doubt has existed that good ore
would be struck in the mine, owing
to its excellent location. With the
Copper Hill mine of the Arizona Com
merciaI on one side of it and the
Black Hawk mine OF the same com
pany on the other, there was no log
ical reason for not having ore in the
Iron Cap.
Several weeks ago vein fourteen
feet wide was penetrated by the north
crosscut about 600 feet from the shaft,
but it contained only trace of miner
al, most of which was leached out.
Drifting on the vein was started Tor
the purpose of further exploring the
vein and the recent strike is tae re-
suit. Although no assays have been
made, the Gre is believed to average
between and 8 per cent, some
Of it being glance ore that will go
as high as twenty per cent. The en-.
tire fact of the drift is now in ore,
which appears to be growing richer
with each new round of holes blasted.

combine with other producers, the
Lake mines are following the prece-
dents of half a century In the case
of every combination or attempt at a
combination to restrict production or
regulate prices, either the Calumet &
Hecla or the Quincy has kicked over
the traces and smashed the combi-
nation.
The single exception TO this policy
is found in the combination effected
in 1889 by the Calumet & Hecla, in
which the leading banking houses az
Europe were deferred from dumping
seeral hundred thousand tons OF cop
per on the market, after the collapse
of the Secretary corner, to the utter
decentralization of the trade.
The sole argument used by the Cal
umet & Hecla in restraining the bank
ers from carrying out their threats
was that the price of copper would be
made five cents per pound if the
bankers insisted on quickly market
ing their copper held as collateral
and as the bankers had loaned about
ten cents per pound OF the metal
they discreetly asked the Calumet &
HecIa and Anaconda to lay out the
program.
or the increased production o.
about one hundred million pounds
comparing 1907 with 1900, the Calu
met & Hecla is responsible for about
one-fourth, having increased its out
put abou 300. in seven years. Within
the same seven years the Boston
Montana has made a gain of 20 Il
ESQ, the Rio Tinto shows a small de
crease. due mainly to the bad effects
of dry season in Spain, and the Ana
conda, which in 1897 made 131 ALL
pounds of copper, tae largest produc
ton ever secured in one year by ont
mine, has fallen from 10000, 00t
pounds output in 1900 to about 20,
100000 pounds in 1907. But for re
striction the Anaconda would have
made upwards of 90,000,000 pounds il
the season just closed.
