Geology of Ft. Apache Region, Ariz. — Reagan. 307 
already complete and in working order the company is sink- 
ing a 450 foot shaft, which on April 10, 1903, was prac- 
tically completed. 
The Globe-Boston Copper mine is owned by a company 
of the same name. The mine is situated about one mile 
northeast of Globe on a contact copper stained lode, ranging 
from eight to twelve feet in width. Besides shafts that are al- 
ready completed and that have been in working order for 
several years, the company has just finished a double com- 
partment shaft, which is 465 feet deep. 
The Old Dominion is the oldest mine in the region, hav- 
ing been in operation more than thirty years. It is situated 
just at the north end of Globe and at the terminus of the 
Globe railroad. For man)' years there was no railroad to the 
place and the copper had to be freighted in wagons to a 
place of shipment ; but now that a railroad has entered the 
region freight is reasonable and this mine as well as the 
others of the region, together with Globe itself, are in a pros- 
pering condition. 
This mine is situated on a mineral bearing horizon eight- 
een feet in width, and produces a fair grade of copper ore. 
On April first (1903) it had 3,800,000 pounds of 70 per cent, 
matte on the dump, and 7.000 tons of fine dust. 
The Old Dominion Company is now sinking a new shaft 
and making many other improvements amounting to $100,- 
000.00. Besides contracts have just been let for an equipment 
of seven Stirling boilers of 325 horse power each. 
Besides the mining companies already in operation in the 
district, the Globe Mining Company with a capital stock of 
two and one-half millions, has just been incorporated for the 
purpose of operating in the region. 
It is not necessary to remark that Globe as a mining dis- 
trict has a bright future before it. 
Water Power. 
Before reaching Phoenix, the water of Salt river is used 
up or sinks into the sand, so that no water power of any kind 
can be developed in the region. Therefore, if water power 
is to be developed at all on this river, it will be necessary 
to go to its upper division to develop it. Plans for such an 
undertaking have been under consideration for some time,
