OLD DOMINION Mh|NTA|GS
 RECORD
sMELTER PRODUCTION FOR NC VENEER s.5ooooo-oTHER PROP, ERTiEs es GLOBE DISTRICT MAKE GOOD PROGRESS.

With a force of about twelve hun dred men employed in it's smelter. its
 underground workings and in it's mine
 surface plant, the Old Dominion Cop
 Der Mining & Smelling company IS
 maintaining its usual rate of workings
 Most of the ore that is being extract
 ed comes from the levels below the
 fifth. The work of installing the
 pumping plant on the twelfth level
 of the mine is going steadily forward. On this level station is being cut . with four arms in each of which powerful Nordberg pump will be in- Istalled. It is expected that by the
 first of the year, this pumping plant
 will be complete. At present the Old ; Dominion company is having about , three and a half million gallons of water pumped from its mine daily.
 The smelter is continuing it's treat ment of ores at about the same rate as it has in the past month, although no 5 official figures of the smelter output have yet been made up for November,
 the production of fine copper for the month will probably be about 2.5OO, ,OOo pounds.
 Superintendent George Kingdom has returned from his business trip which took him away from Globe for a few days and is again in charge of the management of the Old Dominion mine and plant T. NJ. shannon is e acting as superintendent of the un- r derground workings of the mine. ' Al Cole Property
 Development work at the Cole mine
 in the Gibson district is being con . tinued along the same conservative
 lines as has been followed in the past
 4 force of men is at work sinking ths u shaft, which. according to inclined
 measurement, has reached depth O
 j355 feet and is sinking constant! through high grade ore. consisting chiefly of chalcopyrite, having a higl "a value in copper. The present grad 4 of ore was first encountered in tn, Il Cole shaft at depth of 265 feet an, 2 from that point down the shaft ha }; been constantly in ore having a goo U; commercial vein.
 le The sulphide ore which appeared il Fk the shaft few weeks ago in the forn 5; of chalcocite is increasing in quantity te with greater depth. This chalcocit ia is found running parallel to the hig 0; ore, being separated from it merel rg by thin partition of clay. The o' er- currence of these two kinds of ore 0; in such proximity to each other ind al cates pretty conclusively that whe O; the Cole mine is developed it wi er have large reserves of low grade col 10 ieentrating ores in addition to the yer ul high grade deposits already opene
 tnearer the surface.
 If the Cole mine was provided wit n. such means of transportation as an available for the mines of the Milan :, district, its copper deposits would U -. doubtedly make it one of the sens ,-. tions of mining operations In Glof - quadrangle The cars from the sha
 are dumping large quantities of his - -,' grade ore out, along with the vast V and at the present time fully twent
 tons of this valuable material is lyir 'e on the dump. She energies of u 'se management. however. are being { '0' rected wholly toward proving up Il ?" mine as a property capable Of steac nr and profitable production, and cons Fay quently no plan is being made to t ma gin shipments to the smelter.
