GLOBE.
The Coming Mining Center
of Arizona as a Visitor
Saw it.

A Live, Wide Awake Popula-

TIE TOWN ITSELF.

Ii il many years since Giooe csule iu-
to prominence as mining camp. when
every sdventurer who wcoed the hckls
goddess carried bis life 10 bis hand,
fearless, hardy, ambitious men forced
their way into the heart OF the noun
tains, and laid the foundation for city
which has grown, prospered and VIII
continue to grow and prosper until the
great rich store houses Of nature nave
been robbed of all their treasure. This
will not be during tbs time We are on
earth, nor until many generations nave
passed away. Globe was long known
only for the copper che produced. The
firetimportsnt discoveries in this seotion
were of copper, and all attention for
years was turned to the development OF
! this mineral. So extensive, so produ-
tive, and so rich in copper were such
properties rs the Old Dominion that
little thought was given to anything
else. 1t was believed that this was the
center OF q gigantic copper belt, and
that this belief vas we'll founded has
been conclusiveIy proven by the deTelop-
ment of yeere.
Globe is not only the center OF rich
copper deposits as he's lately been dis
covered, but ie surrounded on ali sides
by marvellously rich veins of gold and
silver as well. Some years ago wonder
full storiee were told of the diGcovery Of
great nuggets OF pure silver in the
neighborhood of Globe. These stories
were corroborated by the production
OF many pounds Of the then valuable
metal in state of purity seldom seen.
Excitement was intense, but gave way
to the interest felt in copper.
Lstterly prospectors have turned
their attention in other directions, and
now scarcely week passes that does
not record an important discovery some
where in the district. Many vaiuable
properties have been recently bonded
and sold; many more are being worked
with profit to their owners, and yet
others of equal promise are being de-
veloped 10 anticipation Of placing them
among the producers.
For many years ali the material for
working the mines, all the provisions
necessary TO the maintenance or the
prosperous camp, in fact everything IN
use IN the entire place was napled By
wagons from Wilcox.
Recently the G.. Y. G. d n. railroad
has been completed to Geronimo and
the distance from there to Globe Is only
a trifie. as compared with the former
loCg, tedious and dangerous haul. This
old road is almost strewn with the bones
Of victims who fell by the murderCus
hands Of the devilish Apacbes. This
will all soon have passed into story.
Only little longer and Globe will lis
ten TO the pleasant music of the locomo-
tive whistle and bell, as it comes putting
into town, laden with every good thing
for her prosperity and growth. She
will be tied TO the outside world with
bands OF steel, and thousands who have
never known her wonders will feel the
throbbing OF her growing activity. Her
population will increase amazingly; her
TCEDUfCG5 Will 0Cf0tOp Will IN AEFiCkts
beyond belief; her every avenue of bust
Eees will be crowded, and Globe will
shine before the world IS one OF the
most wonderful camps that ever came
into existepce. The realization or this
prediction is not in the dim, bezy fn-
ture. 1t is here. The veil is almost
drawn aside, and soon the welcome pic
ture will be ushered into the full view
OF 60 admiriug world. Arizona ie proud
OF Globe and the worthy citizens who
make her what she is.
To meet the wants OF the growing
populaticn of this model camp, there
