 s now being done on the 16th to ap the shoot in depth. and 1 900 feet Tet remains to be completed
 One of the encouraging features of he developments on the 1,400. and ,ne which should make ore in depth, s the occurrence of a considerable luanity of leached material. together with rich carb mates and oxides. In the Un.ted Globe the ground is prae- tically virgin from the l4th Co the the surface.
 in the old Dominion mine proper some good-ore has been developed In the west ore body. This shoot which was encountered on the 18th anu 14sh levels some eight or ten months ago. is solid below the 12th. though stopping has been done from the lz th up to the 9th. One of the latest 6eveiopments in this ore body has been the driving of a crosscut on the i2th. which showed the shoot 10 be 100 feet wide. On the 18th ana 14th. the workings are still Tn the ore. Drifting is now in progress on the 18th and 16th levels to interseet the ore body and the shoot should be reached now any day. The ere from here is a good smelling mix ture and is high in ron
 The naest important new work in progress at the Old Dominion mine is the sinking of the Buckeye shalt which is located at the intersection of the Buckeye and Carrie claimsIt Is the intention to sink this shaft 10 a depth of 500 feet. when diitina will be begun.
 one of the most serious problems which confronts the Old Dominion is pumping. A present 5e1.Ooe gal Ions of water are handled per twenty-four hours. With the new and eff cient Nordberg pumping en- zines on the 12th level a consider able savig is being effected in the handling this water ever last year. In the power house also econ. omies are being effected. here hayins been installed two 75O K. w. genera tors direct connected to turbine> using exhaust steam. In the handling installation of the new S5o,000 hoist of the ore two important changes are. being made. One of these is the installation of the new s50.000 hoist at the "A" shaft. This equipment has been in operation since early this saI and is giving excellent results Another of the improvements is the electric haulage system under ground
 thus doing away with the trammina
 by mules. This is resulting in ar | additional saving.
 At the smelter two blast furnace. are now in operation. one havlns

 The company is apparently in l. very strong position. The prese f cost Of producticn is the lowest tn o has ever been made, and in view a the hieh grade ores now being r. yeloped and with the increased t ficiency being brought about in { # many departments it IS not Is reasonable to expect still furtf x- reduction. It appears safe to say in view of the recent important devel' is ments in the Old Dominion. and ?
