result of the years work is satisfac-
 tory and highly predicatory of still
 more important results in the future. At the 400-foot level, the drifts, near. ly 1000 feet long and connecting the old shaft with the Eureka shaft, was completed early in the summer. The most important work has been sinking the Eureka shaft, which has been open. ed to depth of 725 feet, where sta tion is now to be cut and level open ed. The shaft has been in the vein for more than 200 feet, indicating a width of about forty-fve feet. Very good ore was encountered by the shaft, particularly near the footwall, where heavy strata of high grade carbonate and glance ore were cut, indicating an important ore body, which the drift at the 725-foot level will develop. The flow of water in the Eureka shaft has increased to about 800 gallons per min ute and the pumping of that quantity is having the effect of lowering the water in the old shaft at the east end of the Blaekhawk mine, and it is hoped will drain the vein and thereby facili- tate sinking the old shaft to a greater depth, and opening the rich ore shoot known to continue below the present water level.
 The development at the east end of the Black Hawk during the last two months has proven very important. A drift has been run from the bottom of the winze at water level toward the Eureka shaft for distance of 250 feet in ore averaging from 8 to 10 per cent copper It is the intention of the man. agement to sink on this ore which is richest along the bottom of then drift.
 The locations of the Arizona Com mercial Copper company cover all the known faults or veins running south. east and northwest through the terri. tory east of the Old Dominion, inelud- ing the two most important faults--the Old Dominion and the Black Hawk. While the Arizona Commercial has con fined it's operations largely to develop ing the Copper Hill mine and the Black Hawk vein on the claim of that name, it has, probably, as valuable ground undeveloped in the Cochise, Matamora, Pontiac and Winnebago claims, three of which are traversed by great mineral ledge, said by Ran som to be the Old Dominion fault; and it is probable that after the develop ment of the Black Hawk vein is further advanced and smcltcr erected by Ari- zona Commercial, that the company will undertake in earnest the develop ment of its northern tier of claims.
 The Arizona Commercial company has decided to erect smelter early in the coming year, the plans havnig been perfected and the site for the plant selected on the Pontiac claim, some distance north of the Eureka shaft The capacity of the smelter will be 300 tons, but it will be arranged to easily admit of its enlargement. The plant will be of steel construction throughout and modern in it's equip ment. In view of the great activity and rapid development of the mines in the Eastern part of the district, a smelter able to handle custom ores would be great help, if not necessity, to the mining companies operating in that vicinity.

FEATURE of recent mining developments in the Globe
 district that impresses the

district that impresses the
 observer, is the widely sep. ,nted parts of the district in which ,oportant strikes of copper have been sade.
 FOur miles north of Globe the Ari. opa-Colorado Copper Mining company has erossent thirty-foot vein of cop per showing chalcopyrite together with ssrbonates and some glance, at 800 feet in depth, while six miles to the south sf the town, H. II. Harvey is develop, ing a very promising vein of high grade sulphide ore. The copper belt ex- lends beyond the workings mentioned both north and south, as indicated by the strong naturalization at the sur tsse, and between them are many mines and likely prospects.
 In length, the Globe mineral belt ex- tends to and beyond the boundary line sf Pinal county, eighteen to twenty niles west, and to McMillen, which is about the same distance east of Globe. % that the known mineral belt is about forty miles long, with Globe in the cen ter, the distributing point for the en. tire district.
 In some respects the year 1908 has been the best year in the history of the district, the discoveries and develop aents of copper being the most i'm. portant and the aggregate of new cap ital invested the largest. Also, the siass of investors has. been of higher average than in former years, indicating that the value of and the great pos abilities of the copper deposits of the Globe district are now recognized by the larger interests in the copper min ing industry.

OLD DOMINION.

A VAST improvement m the phvSlc- IA al condition of the Old Dominion nine has been wrought. Under the di- seetion of George Kingdom, mine super ibtendent, there has been accomplished since January 1, last, nearly 25,000 linear feet of development, distributed on all working levels and the sinking of shafts. The main (A) shaft has been sunk from the 14th level to the 10th level, and D shaft has reached water level, where sinking was suspended un- fl pumps can be installed. The extraction drift on the 14th level has been driven west to the region of Pinal creek and crosseuts opened every hun dred feet intersecting the ore body. One of these erosscuts is in good sul- phides eighty feet and the others for various distances across the vein, the last erosscut west being in the best grade of sulphide.
 Very good sulphides have recently been cut on the 18th level, also. A development of great importance is the high grade ore body opened for many hundred feet by the east drifts, on the 10th and 18th levels and extending far into the Gladiator claim of the United Globe property. These two levels have also been connected by winzes and an upraise connects the 10th level with the sth level in the eastern part of the nine. These connecting winzes are in sigh grade ore. What is known as the West ore body, on the 9th, 10th and intermediate levels, cut of by the food ing of the mine several years ago, have been reopened. This west ore body is by far the most important body of oxidized ore in the nine, averaging about 10 per cent cop per and carrying considerable iron. A good deal of development has also been done on the Kirkey sulphide vein st the east end of the Old Dominion nine Ore has been developed on all of the levels below the 5th, and the ore reserves in the Old Dominion mine are now greater than ever before in the history of the property.
 Work at the compapy's Continental nine was practically discontinued late last spring.
 At the Old Dominion Keystone mine, work has been carried on in small say and ore shipped every month to the shelter. The old slag dump has been largely drawn upon and has been profitable source of supply for the sleter.
 Old Dominion has made reuiarka- ply good showing in production for 'he current year, considering the low priee at which copper has ruled, and it estimated that for the full twelve nOnths the shelter will have turned 't 3s,0O0,000 pounds of blister copper over 99 fine, and that fully s5 per cent Of this output will represent the pro duet from the company own mines, neluding ores from the United Globe pOup.
 The reduction of costs has been an nportant feature of the years opera sons, which has enabled tho company show profit even when the metal Vas selling at the lowest price, and for ae last five months earnings have shown ! considerable increase. The smelter "sts for October were but $2.lS per en, which it is claimed were the lowest 'aelting costs for any smelter in Ari- sna. The August earnings were close 5000; for September and October sey were approximately $s5,o00 for seh month; November, about $l00,00O, nd for Decer,ber's operations should

GOLD MINING

THE Lost Gulch Gold Mining com Il pany has begun work on a group of gold claims in Lost Gulch and have or dered machinery for ten stamp mill.
 In the same vicinity A. McAlpin and Chas. Nesbit and their partner have op- ened vein of high grade gold ore to a depth of more than 200 feet and have a considerable tonnage blocked out.

With copper at 14h cents it is es- timated that Old Dominion should earn $l5O,O0o per month, or at the rate of $6 per share.

Exports of copper from the United States for eleven months of 1908 to- tailed 272,656 tons. For the same per lod last year the exports were l91,I5I tons.

 among the copper producing states.
 The foreign visible supply of copper. on December l this year was 5l ,99s tons, the largest in any one month in previous years, and compared with l5,- 7S9 tons on the same date in 1907. The copepr output from Bisbee camp for November. aggregated 12,9SO,00 pounds, of which the Copper Queen is credited with s,250,OO0 tons, and the Calumet & Arizona and Superior & Pittsburg with 4,730,000 tons.
 The average price of Lake copper this year has ranged from l2.7SS cents per pound (the low price) in May, to l4.3s6 (the high) in November.
 The production of copper continues to exceed all previous records. It is figured that this country, Canada and Mexico are now producing at the rate of more than l,300,000,00O pounds of copper per year.
 Of the 6,000 shares of the minority stock of the Old Dominion company of New Jersey, 5000 shares were sold last week in Boston for $364, ,000, or at the rate of l04 per share, including com mission of $2 per share. This stock is supposed to have been purchased in the interest of A. s. Bigelow, former pres ident of the old company and who the old company is now suing for an ae- counting on the Continental deal.
 The shannon Copper company, which has materially reduced costs and i'm creased production this year, has issued and disposed of $45O,00O bonds for the construction of railroad tn connect it's mines and reduction works. For some years the Shannon Copper com. pany has been paying the Arizona Cop per company about $l50,000 year in fr;eght charges.
 The merging of the Phelps Dodge mining interests into new $50, 100000 corporation will not affect Old Domin ion. The only effect of the change in the management of the Phelps Dodge affairs as relating to the Old Dominion company will be that the management of the United Globe mines iwll be trans ferred to Boston, and the management of that company hereafter will be under the direction of the Old Dominion com pany officials. &

Continued good reports come from
the mines and leases at Jumbo.
State Controller Eggers has received
an assay return Of over $50 from mis-
lease on the Empire. The shaft on the
lease is down 80 feet aad er~osseuiting
has been started to the east. II was in
this drift that the ore was found.
The Fletcher lease on the Capital u
reported to be In ore Of good grade.
Drifts are being run east and west from
the bottom of the shaft toward the
lodges that show on the surface.
The new mill of the Selby compaly
is expected to start the first of the
month. 1t will have a daily crushing
capacity of so tons. In driving a south
drift from the new shaft to the mine to
tap the ore body another ledge was en-.
countered. The company is installing
a water system to supply the new mill.
The supply comes from a dam a quarter
of a mile from the mill and sufficient
water is available to keep the mill run
ming at all seasons.
