about forty feet.

ing five To six ounces of gold to the
ton. This ore is identical with the
ore that has bcenlirftcd on Mt about
the same depth in the Great Eastern
mine Of the Superior and Boston, and
is remarkably even in quality, and
there is no reason 10 doubt that when
the zone of secondary enrichment is
reached in the Eureka shaft the ore
will bc found to be 81 the same char.
acter and to carry the equally high
values.
In preparation for deep mining, the
Arizona Commercial Company is in.
stalling three Prescott pumps in the
| Eureka shaft-a station pump Of 700
gallons capacity and two sinkers. each
Of $50 gallons capacity. These should
bc in place and all connections made
by Tuesday next, when sinking will be
resumed.
The present intention Of the man
agement is to go down $50 feet and
open levels l25 feet apart Later the
Eureka shaft will be sunk to 1000
feet. Developments at the Eureka
shaft will bc watched with great
deal of interest. as they certainly pro
mise important results.
| August was very satisfactory
month for the Old Dominion Company
The production was close to 100000
pounds of blister copper, and wonld
have reached record figures for the
wear had IL not been for an accident

month was also of record proportions

ore developments were favorable on
several levels. Tie west crosscut on

Another crosscut is to be started sew

The east drift on the 18th level con
tinues in high grade ore, bornite carry

the drift. An upraise from tne l2tl
is in the same character of ore.
Considerable coke and oil arrived
during the week.
