If news in the local mining fiei1. The several options ou mining properties & which brought to Globe many mining men and investors, and held public attention for many weeks. have about all been closed. and there is somewhat q. a Hull in negotiations at present, which. however. Is not likely 10 con Iinue for long.
 The first payment on the Eureka group of copper claims. which adJolns the Miami on the south and south. west, and the Inspiration on the cas-, fell due yesterday. and there is no doubt that Messrs, Hoyland and Smith and their associates. who. hold the option, will bc prompt in meeting the terms of the contract. IL is eX- pected that development company for the Eureka. similar to that organ ized to exploit the Live Oak property. xill be announced shortiy- One or two other fiotavons are expected to be announced within the next few weeks.
 The local mining companies are all busy. and there IS more Systematic development being done in the Globe district than in any other district in
 
 | rior company's property is rumored, but cannot be confirmed, in the ab- senee of Superintendent White. who has not yet returned rom Philadelphia where he went some time ago to con fer with the eastern directors. The rumor of the sale probably sprung from the publication in an eastern paper that engineers had re- gently examined and sampled the com pany's mine for the Smelling & Refining company, from which 1t was inferred that the latter company was desirous of securing an entrance into the Globe camp. The Warrior company has one of the most promising ore bodies in the district, opened to depth Of 225 feet. nearly | 500 feet along t1e strike of the vein 1 and averaging about forty feet in width Shipments from the Warrior to the old Dominion smelter have re gently been increased to more than | leo tons of ten per cent ore daily.
 There are no changes Of importance | to note in the operation of the old Dominion company. The management 1 is making no effort toward a large production this month. but the output ] thus far would indicate about 5000. coo pounds for the tweuty-eight days of February. The most important aS- ditioE to the plant, and the only new construction contemplated for this year probably, will be the central electric power plant. announced in the Silver Belt a few days ago. and which 1t is expected will be installed flNxg he tricity will not supercede steam DOW CT altogether at the Old Dominion the present fine equipment at A shaft will be maintained, and hoists there continue to be operated by steam.
 The preliminary work en the Live Oak is very satisfactory. An old tun Incl that has been restored, was found to be in sulphide it's entire length ot upwards of 800 feet. and while th' values indicated are small-from one half per cent to two per cent. wi;F occasional seams going five per cen' copper-the fact that the formation is mineralized for so great a widti Is considered very important, and ai greater depth the percentage Of cop per is almost certain to be higher as 1t is in the shaft a depth of less than 300 feet By many local mining men Live Oak is regarded with mos ] favor among the new properties float ed.
 The Great Eastern mine Of the Su perior & Boston Copper compan! continues to show improvement, anl 1 Is increasing it's output It has un doubtedly one Of the finest higi grade ore bodies Of any mine in th, district
