wage gold strike. mentioned at
length In yesterdays Silver Belt.
Following the very general celebra-
ton of the Fourth. work was resumed
in all the active mines in the district
on Monday and Tuesday, and opera
tons are again normal.
Very little news has come from that
part of the district lying west OF
Globe. but il is known that the Glib
son Warrior and Orphan Copper com
panies have their usual compliments
of miners employed and are pushing
development work with favorable re
suits. The Gibson and Warrior COM
DaniJs are making regular shipments
of ore - the Old Dominion smelter
and Orphan company has its devel-
opment work well started. In the
lower Pinto creek section the King
Trail Development company has
started work, under a bond and lease,
on the Globe-Pinto property. The
Five Point Copper company whose
property adjoins the Globe-Piuto. is
preparing to resume work AT al early
date.
Old Dominion.
Four furnaces of the Old Dominion
smelter are in blast and the daily
production OF copper is about 100000
pounds. or at the rate OF 3,OOO,0OO
pounds per month. This is below the
average output of the past two
motifs and is due 10 extraordinary
under ground work which interferes
with the hosting of ore. and to re-
duced deliveries Of Stag. An increased
Tow of water into the mine is a Sc
Tious handicap. For several days the
pumps have been handling 4,40o,pVr
gallons every twelty-fOur hours, and
as Vet there is no sign of the flow
diminishing About 500 gallons a
minute is coming into the east drift
on the 18th level in the Gladiator
claim. and the remainder from new
drift on the 10th level at c shaft
The management is hopeful that the
flow will soon decrease.
