OLD DOMINION REGISTERING
Throbbing Heart of Globes Mineral Industry Produc- ing 90, 900 Pounds of Red Metal Daily-Nearly
 1000 Men are Underground

At Globes greatest center of in, dustry, the Old Dominion Copper Min ing & Smelling company, prosperity reigns The big plant of the company is singing a song of energy and thrift that is music to the ear of the local business man who has pinned his faith to the future of Globe district and of the old Dominion, the district s greatest producing mine and shelter. Whatever the future has in store, it is practically certain that the increase or shrinkage of the Old Dominion 's business will continue to make itself keenly felt in Globes commercial circles.
 Superintendent K. B. Hegardt is giv- ing his attention to the conducting of the affairs of the mine and shelter, and everything about the plant has the appearance of animated industry Four furnaces are running in the smelt CT and the daily output of fine copper is about 90,000 pounds of which fully nine-tenths comes from the company s mines. Just at present there is no great amount of custom ore being received, owing largely to the fact that few of Globes great mines have reached the producing stage and to the additional reason that some which have produced in the past have ceased producing temporarily, partly because of the low price of copper and partly on account of the necessity of doing extensive development work preparatory to ship ping ore on a large scale The supply of coke that is always kept on hand at the smelter is now being cleared out of the bins and used, as coke deterioT ates after being kept on hand for certain period As soon as the bins are emptied, new supply, which is now on the way to the plant, will be laid in. At the power plant of the shelter. several carloads of economizers have been received and are now being put in. When this work is finished, it will result in considerable saving of expense in the running of the power plant.
 In the old Dominion mine force of between 700 and 500 men is em- ployed underground and large quanti- ties of ore are being taken out. This ore is coming from the different levels from the second to the sixteenth, but more than half of it is being taken from the levels below the ninth, as the workings at greater depth are most pro duetive of copper.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-09-26

The system of mining by drifting along the footwall and filing up the crosseuts with waste material after the ore has been taken out is proving tC be remarkably successful at the old Dominion mire, and since this method of mining was begun at the instance of Dr, Ricketts about five years ago, il has resulted in a material cutting down or running expenses Still further say ing of expense has been effected, also by the present means of removing the water from the lower levels of the mine X short time ago the tunnel which in terseets the vertical shaft on the fifth level resulted in the elimination of a 200-foot lift to the surface. At present about 3,500,000 gallons of water is be ing pumped out Of the mine daily, and of this amount, part is being raised to the surface for use in the concentrator and the rest is allowed to flow out through the tunnel, at the mouth of which it is received by the Hume and carried to Pinal creek.
 A force of men is now at work pre-. pairing a large station for four power ful pumps which are soon to be in. stalled. These pumps are of Nordberg make and their combined capacity will be 5,500,000 gallons day. The station is being cut in the form of a large reeumbcnt cross and in each arm of the cross pump will be erected. When completed, about January 1, the pump, ing plant at the old Dominion mine win probably be the largest and most efficient in Arizona.
 At the present time more than 1900 men are employed at the Old Dominion mine and smeher and with raise in the price of copper, an increase in the number of workmen will, of course, follow The prospect of such a raise in copper prices does not seem very bright just now, however, as the figures show that the mines of the country. last month, instead of cutting down their production turned out greater quantities than they ever did before in similar period. The predictions of some of the prominent financial men of the country, however, point to, at least, slight increase in the price of copper about January l. The result of such rise on Globe and the mining district in which the city is located can hardly be overestimated, as it would result in greater amount of business at practically all the mines capable of producing and consequent increase in other branches of business.

1906, practically no work had been done on the land comprised in the Mi ami holdings. In the following year, Mir. Charming assumed control and early in the year 1908, had developed an ore reserve of 2,000,000 tons of ore averaging 2$I per cen in copper. The Miami mine at that time was capital ized at approximately $l for each ton of ore, and since the. the capitalization has been increased by 100000 shares to make provision for the necessary milling facilities. The present ore re serve fully blocked out is l4,000,000 tons, although the Miami proven ore body will undoubtedly amount to sew eral times that quantity
 The Miami ore will average 2ai per cent in copper and according to cal culations made so far, it will be pos sible to extract the copper from this ore at the rate of forty.two pounds of copper to the ton.
 Mir. Charming estimates the tonnage already developed on the Miami proper ty will last about thirty years with a o,000-ton coneentrator in operation. The present favored policy in the manage ment of the Miami mine is to provide suitable surface equipment including a railroad, water supply and mills as soon as possible, and afterward to de- velop large ore body by means of tunneling, crosscutting and the sinking of shafts.
 The Miami copper mine is distinctive in that it has had the most rapid devel- opment ever attained under the block system, and also, in the uniformity of it's assay values As concentrating proposition it is remarkable, the ex traction being about so per cent, and the ratio possible in concentrating, six teen tons to one.
 At the present market price of l3 cents ponnd for copper, the 14,000,000 tons of ore already fully blocked out and capable of returning, by the meth cd of reduction employed, at least 5SS, ,000,000 pounds of copper, will have a net market value of $25 100000, after 9 cents a pound are allowed for the expense of production.
 In view of the facts given above, it is by no means improbable that the stock of the Miami Copper company, now selling for about $l6, will reach a value of $30 within the next two years. The fact that large quantities of this stock are being secured by inside in terests makes this prediction particu- larly wellfounded.

NEW POWER PLANT AT GIBSON BEING
 BRICKED IN
FORGE or THIRTY MEN NOW EN- FLOWED AT GIBSON ON DE
 vELoPMENT WORK

The Gibson Copper company is now turning it's energies toward extensive development work. Several teams are now busy hauling bricks to the site of the new power plant at the vertical shaft of the mine. These bricks will he used for eneasing the boilers The rest of the machinery for the Gibson plant, including hoist and an air com pressor, is already in place, and as soon as the air compressor and ppes are connected and the bricking in of the boilers is finished, underground devel- opment work on large scale will be commenced.
 At present the force of about thirty men at the Gibson mine IS employed chiefly in running drifts and erosseuts. Work is now being done on five differ ent drifts and two crosseuts. Of the drifts, two are on the Pasquale vein at the third level, and others are being run on the Summit vein On the third level north, the fifth level south, and the sixth level south, respectively. One crosseut is being run on the fifth level and another is being cut on the sixth.
 As soon as the air compressor pipes are connected, force of men will be put at work driving the Reynolds tun- mel with the aid of machine drills. This tunnel is now 1000 feet long and it will be extended 1900 feet to dntersect the vertical shaft.

HIGH GRADE 0RE
 FROM HUB MINE

sample of copper ore sent to Globe for ass&ying this week from the Hub mine, located about three miles north of the San Juan property in the Gila valley, ran $l3S to the ton, according to the stockholders of this mine.
 A party including Lars Chlarson, O. P. Skousen, Myron Alfred, Thomas East, Alec Hunt, J. l.. Wilkins and Hyrum Claridge, mostly valley resi-. dents, made trip to their properties --the Hub and Aztec mines-last Sun day. They are now making prepara' tions to continue development work there. It is probable that ore can be shipped from the start. The Hub prop erty has q shaft about 200 feet deep.

Elsewhere in The Bee will be
seen and read with interest the
address of Mr.. Thomas H.
Wright, one Of the brightest men
in the Odd Fellows, and one of
the best known and highly re
spected citizens of Washington.
Mr.. Wright has been connected
with the Department of Justice
for a number of years, in which
office he has the respect and CON
fidence of his superior officers.
AS an Odd Fellow he has been
Chairman of the Odd Fellows
Hall Association for several
years and by his efforts in con-
nection with his associates he
succeeded in paying off the great
debt of the hall, although he had
the opposition of a number of
his brethren connected with the
association. Notwithstanding the
intrigues of his enemies and
those connected with the Order.
who should have supported him
in paying off the debt of the hall,
he succeeded and today he stands
as living monument in the Or
der.
Mr.. Wright is from one of the
leading and one of the oldest
families in this city, who have
the respect and confidence of all
who know him. The Bee hopes
the day will come when his great
worth and work in the Order will
be appreciated.

ton of the Board of Education in
the case of the supervisor meets
the hearty approval of the peo-
pie. There is no reason why
favoritism should be shown in
his case. 1t will teach others to

THE RIGHT KIND OF CREDIT.

III Nlbl1 NM VI ONL~DI l.
There is one store in Washington
where a persons credit means Just as
much as cash. The h~,a of Peter
Grogan & Sons Company, 8I7-823
Seventh street, have brought their
system of credits to a point where
one may enjoy all the help and con
venience within the meaning Of the
term, without paying prices at all
higher than those of the cash stores.
They recognize the right of a re-
sponsible person to full credit, and in
selling to such require no cash with
an order, and ask for no contract,
lease or note to be signed. When
goods from that store are delivered
to you they are yours. The firm lets
you buy them on a promise to pay a
small part of the bill each week or
month, and they trust you fully so
long as you are worthy of such trust.
They make it possible for people
of very moderate income to have
comfortably furnished homes. If you
do not feel that you can afford at
once all that you need, they will al
low you to add to your account from
time to time.
There are plenty of credit pliers,
but if you want real help and con
venience go to Grogan's.

MR. TAFT.

The colored people of this
country need to give themselves
no concern about Mr.. Taft. 1t
is true that he is in the heart of
the South, cndeavOring to teach
the Southern people the princi-
Piles OF good government. In do
ing so, he has not forgotten to
give the Southern people to un-
derstand that he proposes to en-
force the laws under the COnsti-
tuition, as he understands them.
COlOred Americans must under
stand, they must learn the funda-
mental principles of good citizen
ship and the science of govern
ment. Several of our contempO-
rarieS have taken us to task be-
cause we indorsed the recent
speech of Mr.. Taft, delivered in
New York to the Sons of North
Carolina.
If our critics understood the
speech, as we do, and all other
sensible people; they would be
convinced that Mr.. Taft said all
that any sensible man could say
under existing conditions. Mr..
Taft IS not the President of one
faction of Americans, but the
President of the entire nation,
To know him is to appreciate
him. He has a good heart and
he means to do what is right and
Just to all citizens regardless Of
their condition of politics. The
Bee is certain that cOlOred Amer
leans need to have no fear of the
policy that he will pursue during
the term of his administration.
What has Mr.. Taft done or said,
that would cause suspicion, or to
cause colOred Americans to lose
confidence in him? Mr.. Taft has
declared that he will enforce the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth Amendments to the Con-
stitution. Can mortal man do
any more?
The advice OF The Bee is, let
colored Americans improve their
condition and be prepared to
meet and overcome existing i'm
pediments. If they don't under
stand the science OF government,
let them learn it. If they don't
understand the use of the ballot
let them be taught its use. No
better advice could have been
given to cOlored Americans than
that given by Dr. Washington.
Get property and education. Be
able to do what their adversaries
do and get into their possession
that article that the white man
wants, and do in many instances
if they can, that which the white
man cannot do. When coloreC
Americans are able to become
factors in the body polite they
will be sought after and respect
ed.
We should first respect anC
support one another: then We
may hope to be respected by
others. no matter what our color
NAV be. We are the first tc
draw the color line against one
another. and the first 70 kick be
cause the white man draws il
against us.
If we Jim Crow ourselves
we should not kick when we are
Tim Crowed' by the white man.
To a great extent, the represeu-
