BUSINESS FOR APRIL SATISFACTORY ID

OLD DOMINION OUTPUTS THREE MILLION POUNDS FROM
 SHELTER.
NEW STRIKE IN GIBSON MINE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREAT DISTRICT BEING RUSHED
 IN ALL QUARTERS.

Apri! was very satisfac tory month for the local mining companies and the progress and excellent results of de velopment, together with the better in. quiry for Globe mining property, had stimulating effect upon business of all kinds. No change Of consequence has taken place in the operations of the Old Dominion. The production of copper for the month was about 3,0O0,- 900 pounds, and development was on the same comprehensive scale as in prev ious months, most important being the driving of the west drift on the 14th level which has advanced, well beyond block l, and has opened some excellent sulphide ore, and .he east drifts on the 10th and 18th levels wh;3h ace nearing the old Hoosier mine ann has opened ground rich in copper. Tho Inspiration, Gibson, Cactus, Live Oak, Globe Con sOlidated, Superior & Boston and Ari- zona Commercial made important orc developments, whi3n materially i'm proved their already good prospects. The camp has been full of mining men for several weeks and two or three big deals are pending.
 Another Strike in Gibson Mine
 The deal for financing the Gibson Copper company is still pending, await ing the working out of few important details. Meanwhile, the mine is stead. fly improving. Another discovery of ore, and the first on the 600-foot level, was made few days ago in the south drift, 220 feet from the shaft. The

WEEKS WORK IN MINES

J drift had cut two feet of tale in which Is embedded large nodules of chalcopy-
 rite, going about 25 per cent in copper. IL is probable that the drift after cut ting through the tale will cut a stratum of solid ore. The drift on the 6Q0-foot level will have to be driven about 300 feet below the 400 level and is still 22O feet to reach the locality where they are expected to encounter the ore shoot that has been opened to a consid. erable depth by winze from the 400- foot level. The high grade chalcopyrite struck six weeks ago on the footwall of the vein, In drift from the cross cut on the 400-foot level, is holding out well. This ore has been drifted on 45 feet and has maintained an average width of two feet and value in copper of from 24 per cent. to 30 per cent. Along the side of this high grade ore is body of s per cent. to 9 per cent. ore varying from three to four feet in thickness. These developments are highly important and encourage the ex- pectstion that the Gibson mine will soon repeat its former record as a pro. ducer of high grade sulphide ore
 Construction at Miami
 The Miami Copper company is busy grading for mill, power house and ore bins, constructing roads and erecting additional buildings. Also the big shaft is being sunk rapidly and is now about 400 feet deep. We understand there has been some changes made in the plans for the company s reduction works. The first unit of the concentra- tor will be l,500 tons capacity instead of 1000 as at first contemplated Al though the company has considerable water in it's Red Springs shaft, and has purchased water rights in Miami valley, nevertheless, as further precaution it has obtained an option on the surplus water from the Old Dominion mine, and it has been suggested that the Miami company may decide to divide its re- duction works, placing one concentrator unit on Pinal creek, north of Globe
 The Cactus is making good headway in the development of the Arizona Ma tional property. The shaft which is down over 425 feet has gone through l the ore, some of which is high grade | and apparently of great size. The grad ing has been finished and all is in read l ness to start sinking on the Pinto Cop per property, also controlled by the Cac- tus Development company. A shaft | will be sunk on the Pinto 800 feet.
 Cordova Copper Company
 Within few days it is expected that sinking will be started at both the Gem and Eureka. The Gem shaft, now 200 feet deep, will be sunk 400 feet

level over 1,60O feet of drifting has
 been done, all in commercial ore, a good deal of which is very desirable quality of sulphide. The shaft on the Eureka will be sunk within 250 feet of the Miami company's south side line. The Eureka is one of the best To-. cated properties in the Miami section, with good surface showing, and a rec ord of production approaching $400,000; and confidence is felt that sulphides will be struck in the Eureka at depth between 200 and 300 feet.
 Arizona Commercial
 Several ear loads of structural steel for the Arizona Commercial smclter and power house arrived within the past few days; construction work will now advance rapidly and August l5 will undoubtedly see the shelter completed and in operation. General Manager J. W. Bennie will soon come to Globe to personally supervise the erection of the plant and mine development, relieving Superintendent Pemberthy of part of the burden. The work of unwatering the Eureka shaft below the 60O-foot level was begun Saturday with good success. 4 million-g gallon pump for the 700-foot station has been shipped from the east and should arrive here within tion to it's pumping capacity, the Ari- zona Commercial will be in position to readily handle and flow of water likely to be encountered i'll the Black Hawk mine. The crosscut on tho 600 level has penetrated the vein about 60 feet but has not yet reached the foot wall, where the best ore is expected to be found At the Black Hawk work ings sinking the winze was discontinued 125 feet below the 500foot level, until the pumps at tho Eureka shaft have lowered the water in the vein. This winze is in high grade carbonate ore carrying ten to twelve ounces of sil- | yer. As soon as the Eureka shaft is the development of the 600 and 700 levels will be pushed vigorous ly.
 Superior & Boston
 At the McGraw shaft sinking and | raising continues and June l should see | the shaft opened to the 40O-level. Att the Great Eastern the winze has reached depth on the incline of 134 | feet below the 400 loyel and is still | n fine ore carrying high values in cop per and silver. Stoping continues on the 100 and intermediate levels and shipments of 40 to 50 tons of ore are being made daily to the Fl faso smell CT. At the McGraw shaft the founda- ions for the Sterling boilers has been completed and those for the hoist and are in course of construc- ion. The warehouse has been finished md some other Improvements are be- ng made. At the Gardner shaft the vest drift on the 400-foot level is be- ng driven as rapidly as possible to each the ore body that was opened y the Black Oxide tunnel higher up.

TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1909.

Senator Bailey, OF Texas, has made
Q iorceful argument, from the stand
point OF the minority, upon the
Payne tariff bill. The Texas Sens-
tor has come pretty near showing
the fakes In the new bill, and has In
cidentally shown shat there is no
real reduction contemplated by the
bill at all, while In addition he has
made q strong defense OF his party
against the charge preferred by Sem
ator Aldrich and others that it had
abandoned It's tariff for revenue
policy and Vas climbing on the pro-
lection band wagon.
Mr. Bailey denied that the Democrats
OF the Senate had abandoned this doc
trine. BE held that the difference was
one Of principle, and that, II the principle
OF q tariff for protection was to override
that OF q tariff for revenue only, the pro-
lection principle should be applied fairly
to all sections and commodities. at Is
not an abandonment OF the principles OF
the Democratic party" said Mr.. Bailey,
Tor senator TO insist that the same
principles which apply to other constit-
uenciss shall like wise be applied to his.
Mr. Bailey expressed the opiDion shat
Mr.. Aldrich would apply his doctrine
equally, and added: But be muet not
reprosch ne with having abandoned our
convictions. because, unable to apply our
principles to this bill, we insist shat the
protectionist principles 10 be applied
ehall be fairly and impartially applied.
To say that these principles shall be ap-
Piled without discrimination does not
signify that we are in favor OF applying
them"
Mr.. Bailey realizes that the Repub-
leans are going TO frame the tariff
bill themselves, that It will express
Republican and not Democratic ideas
in It's schedules, and he is right, with
the help OF his associates, TO try, at
least. to make them apply their
doctrine fairly to all interests and
sections OF the country.
