IMPROVEMENT IN
 THE GLOBE MINES
(Glohe Silver ReltA

(Globe Silver Belt.)
 The force of approximately 500 meen, employed by the Miami Copper company, is advancing the under ground and construction work at a remarkably rapid rate. The results obtained by the well regulated work ing system of the company are noth- ing phenomenal. On the 220, 245, 27O, 295, 345 and the 37O foot levels, $50 feet of drifting and erosseutting and raising were completed during the month of February. Above the 37O foot level, the sub-leveIs are 25 feet apart, and the ore is being cut into blocks, the dimensions of which are 5Ox5O feet by 25 feet. The levels so far established at a greater depth than 370 feet are respectively APO, 470 and 570 feet, from the surface. Shaft No. f, through which all ore will be removed in the future. has been sunk to a depth of 546 feet, in a eonglOmerate formation. Sink ing is progressing at the rate of about p feet weekly.
 The main foundations of the con eentrator are done and as soon as some necessary materials arrive the erection of the building will be com meneed. Exeavating for the founda- tions of the new hoisting plant at Shaft No. has been begun. At the power house site, the foundation for one engine is completed. Grading for the main tramway from the mine to Miami Flat was begun during the past week. This tramway has it's terminal near the power house at the foot of the hill, and when finish ed will afford an easy means of con veying all supplies from the railroad to the mine.
 J. Parke Charming, vice president and consulting engineer of the Miami Copper company, did not arrive in Globe, February 15, as was expected, but will probably arrive here in the course of a week or ten days.
 Old Dominion.
 According to the present plans, the 200 k. w. generator to be installed in the smelter power house of the Old Dominion mine, will furnish pow CT for. one 2,OOO-foOt and another 2, 3,00O-foot air compressor. This gen orator will also be relied upon to furnish motive power to the various parts of the mine where it is needed. The hoists at the B shaft and at the Grey shaft will be equipped for cleo trieal operations as soon as the neees- sary equipment can be secured.
 Eventually wires will be run from the power house to the Buckeye and Big Jennie claims, and other outlying ore producing claims of the United Globe property, adjoining the Old Dominion lands proper. These parts of the Old Dominion property will thus be worked by means of electric power when all arrangements there for are completed
 Electricity will be the motive pow er also for all the pumps except the arge steam pump on the 1,20O foot evel. The smaller pumps, located in he various parts of the mine, will pump the water into the large stump for it on the 18th level, md from this stump the large steam ,ump will raise the water to the unnel through which it will flow 10 he surface.
 The Old Dominion smelter, with wo furnaces running, is treating be- ween 500 and 700 tons of ore daily Yearly all this ore is hoisted through he A shaft, where two Wellman-Sea- -er-MOrgan hoists, with cylinders 15x Q inches, are in commission. The 'ulk of the ore is being mined below he 10th level. The pumping plant at he Old Dominion is raising about 100000 gallons. of water daily. Gen ral Manager G. H. Dowen is employ ng between 800 and 900 men.
