GLOBE, Rriz.. June S.--The local
mining situation continues very salts

OF favorable character. Since the
first OF the month the Warrior Cop

Boston Copper company have in
creased their ore shipments consid-
crabiy. while the Gibson. United
Globe and Arizona Commercial are
maintaining their bonnages- The
Old Dominion has four furnaces in

be in the neigaborhood of 5000. 900

to its sEneiter here, the product being
desirable on account OF the high Per

". s Berry, until recently mine su-
perintendent OF the Old Dominion and
United Globe, recently visited the
Globe Consolidated and Superior &
Boston and was very favOrably i'm
pressed with the Developments at
boti properties. To representative
Of the Silver Belt, Mr. Berray stated
that the Globe Consolidated had ex-
posed In the north crosscut from the
Gem shaft a well mineraliZed zone
about 100 feet wide. which shows
strong indications of making a mine
with further development. About
twenty-five feet of this lead is sui
p;lide. fifteen feet of which is good
concentrating ore carrying 2 per
cent copper, IA per cent sulphide and
81 per cent iron. Drifts have been
started east and west on this ore
which in the east drift shows an in
crease Of copper. Work in the
drifts viii be pushed with yigor and
later a winze will probably be start
ed. The showing in the Gem is GER
tainly very encouraging and justi-
fies Superintendent McCarthy'S con-
tidence in the success Of the enter
prise.
The progress made during the past
month In underground development
and surface improvements at the
Superior & Boston has been noticea-
BILE and reflects credit on the man
agenent. The most important de
velopment has been on the 429-foot
level OF the Great Eastern mine,

which will eventually extend west
from the crosscut to the line of the
Black Hawk claim of the Arizona
Commercial Copper company, a
length OF 2S5 feet, the drift already
opened being in good ore for that
distance. The lead is forty feet wide
and carries fourteen feet of CONNER
ciaI ore, which, as shown by the
smeltsT returns for last month. aver
ages per cent copper and runs from
five 10 eight ounces OF silver ~ rae
ton.
The stope is being opened the
width OF this ore body, three sets in
height and as now timbered, is
eighty-folr feet in length. It is az
vancfng as rapidly as the shifts OF
four men each, with one Ingersol-
Sargent drill and one No. la Wahl
drill can do the work A Wine has
been started IN one, work on which
has been temporarily suspended to
permit Of tinlbering the stope.
Mr.. Berray, after inspecting this
ore body, gave it as his opinion that.
with some future development, 1t
should supply ore of sufficient value
10 meet all the expenses OF develop
nent work by the company for the
next year. A foTty-tone carload OF
ore from the Stope on the Great
Eastern Is being shipped daily to the
Old Dominion smelter.
The Gardner shaft, which Will de
