 HE PAST WEEK
Many Eastern and Pacific Coast Capitalists Have Recently Been in District Looking For Investment.

Contrasted with the business de- lpression continuing in many parts of the east, it is pleasing to note the growing activity of mining in the larger copper camps of Arizona, of which Globe is conspicuous exam pie. Since the beginning of the pres ent month more representatives of eastern and Pacific coast capital have visited Globe to look over the district with the view of investing than during the previous five months succeeding the financial collapse of | last October, and negotiations are now pending and likely to result in 1 several important deals being con 1 summated which would give greater impetus to growth and prosperity of | the camp.
 Most of the important local mining enterprises, temporarily suspended l last fall on account of the money | stringency, have resumed operations and each succeeding week there is noted an increase in the number of men employed by the several com ] panies.
 The successful launching of the Miami Copper company has had an excellent effect and will continue to exert beneficial influence on the | district at large. The early exten- sion of the G. V. c. & N. railroad from Globe to the property of the Miami company and within easy access of the Inspiration, Keystone, 1, Eureka, Live Oak and Black War | rior properties should within a year or two make that immediate section the center of the great mining ac. | tiyity and assist materially the de- Velopment of the Pinto creek region to which no doubt the railroad will later be extended.
 i Old Dominion.
 The expectation of having the run battery of five furnaces in operation last week was not realized, repairs to No. furnace consuming more time than was expected, but it will be blown in tomorrow morning and the management hopes to keep all the furnaces running continuously the balance of the month, with the re ] sultant increase of production It more than 3,000,000 pounds or over a million greater than the March out put The new furnace, No. 6, will not go into commission for a month yet An addition is being built to the west end, or front, of the smelter power house to accommodate a new No. 10 ! blower to supply the increased blast required to operate the full battery of furnaces. The amount of coke on hand is enormous-about 10000 tons, l and other supplies are ample
 Superior 6 Boston. l Activity is now centered at rne | -t, I shaft on the Iron King lead which | was started on a week ago last We'd nesday and is now down about 26 l feet. The shaft mas three compart- ments, one 5x7 and two each 1-2x5 The work thus far has been pen orm- | ed with the greatest care and under the personal supervision of Superin- | tendent W. E. Carter, who is one of the most competent mining men in | the Globe district An S5-horse power boiler is being bricked in and Hen- | drie & Bolthof Sx10 hoist, for tenn l porary use, will be installed this { week. As soon as plans and specifi- | cations are received from HougnIUh, i Mich, work will be begun on the ! plant At the Great Eastern mine work on the north crosscut of the 400
 
 going through the lead, which proved to be forty feet wide and carries ten l feet of good commercial ore on the foot wall.
 Miami Copper.
 The work or developing this great property is progressing steadily and improvement is especially marked on the fifth or deepest level, where neith- CT the drifts nor crosscuts have yet reached the limits of the ore body. The estimate made a month ago by Consulting Engineer J. Parke Chan ming of 100000 tons of ore in sight was considered very conserT- ative, and since then the ore in sight has been greatly increased. The shaft is down about $50 feet and sinking continues It is the intention of the company to start work on the con centratoT early in the comnig sum mer. General Manager Wright Is of the opinion that the extension of the C.. V. G. & N. railroad will begin at an early date, as without rail counec- ton for the transportation of build. ing material and machinery, the construction of their mill could not be successfully carried on.
 Gibson Copper.
 Very good reports come from the Gibson mine, where Manager s. L. Gibson is vigorously pushing deYel- opment work with force of seven ty men. The old incline shaft is now down to the 9th level and sta 'icns have been cut at the 5ti and 9th
 Globe Consolidated.
 Developments in the north cross cut on the 18th level of the Gem. where the Future Copper lead was struck early last week, are proving of great importance Yesterday morning twenty-two feet of ore had been cut and water was coming from the drill holes in the face of the crosscut showing that the hang ing wall had not yet been reached. The vein is large and strong one. and while the ore, where cut. is loy grade, the showing is very promis- ing At the Boston or Mallory shaft. the east drift on the S06-foot level continues in sulphide ore of good grade.
