MINERAL WEALTH.
The Future Prosperity of Globe As
sured by Her Mines.

sured by Her Mines.
Without the mineral discoveries in
and around Globe, there would have
been no busy town; no congregation Of
energetic, enterprising men and women.
To her mines che owes her present pros
porous condition, and go magnificent ia
the extent Of the mineral resources of
this section that the name Of Globe will
always be synonymous with thrift and
activity ID business.
The United Globe mines, probably
better known as the Buffalo, are carried
on under the efficient superintendency
of Mr.. E. II. Cook, a pleasant. unsssum-
ing young gentleman, who is thorough
miner, and fully alive to the responsible
lities OF his position. There ia ct pres
ent one SO inch furnace at work on this
property, and it has been in constant
operation since January 1st. On the
greet OF August the capacity of the works
will be increased by the addition OF
l50-ton stack.
The company DOW owns about forty
claims. the principal ones being EN- brac-
ed in the Buffalo and Hoosier groups
The Transit, Hoosler, Gladiator and
Grey are ell connected by underground
workings, as are aiso the Buffalo, Mark
Twain, Cuy7hogs, and Cleveland.
Tramways Tor transporting the ore
from the mines to the smelters will soon
be placed in position.
One hundred and fifty men are ems
ployed In the mines and smelter.
The ore worked by this company is
low grade, but the reduced price Of coke,
which will be still cheaper as soon as the
railroad is completed, enables it to be
hauled at q handsome profit to the own
els.
The affairs of the Old Dominion Cop
per Mining and Smel,ing Company are
in charge OF Mr.. S. A. Parnall. The
successful operation o. this gigantic con-
Germ is proof of the exceptional ability of
Mr.. Parnsll. The mines are owed by |
Lewisohn Bros, of New York.
There are three furnaces which run |
night aud day. aud produce most satis-
factory returns. From 225 TO 230 men |
are employed by this company in and |
about the mines and smelters, and the |
pay roll shows az expenditure If $780, |
OC0 per month.
The company is constantly opening |
new ore bodies, and tina extent of the |
mineral they own is wholly a mystery. |
Ameng the most remarkable and sue |
cessful women In this territory is Mrs. |
Alfred Kinney. Mrs. Kinney ia Ger
man woman, and lnherits those admir-
able traits OF patience aud perseverance, |
which are the magic keys of success
She has embarked in mining and COL
trolls and superintends her own propar-
ties. Her quick intuition, keen percep- |
ton, and careful observation have fami- |
liarized her, not alone with geological |
formations. but with ell the details OF !
mining in q practical way, and the easy |
dips, angles, adite. cross-cuts, and other |
terms scarcely known outside OF mining |
campe, aseures you that che is sup to |
snuff in the business she has voluptari- |
ly chosen.
Mrs. Kinney is sole owner of the Rosa |
line group of mines, which ere situated |
tains copper, gold, and silver in paying |
yuan tltlCey dbo CbOukh II as III cdut Octn |
taken out to more than pay all the ex-
penses o: development 60 far. There is |
a tunnel so feet long that cuts the ore |
body at depth Of 80 feet, and the ore |
shows returns Of $50 per ton in copper /
and $50 in gold. Mrs. Kinney has offers |
from Denver parties of machinery with |
which to work the ore from these proper !
ties. Their purchase IS also under con-
-
are the owners Of the Old Dominion. So |
promising are these prospects that IT is |
safe to predict handsome little fortune |
for their owner.
Recently Jas. A. Fleming ard DIR.
Ford OF Phenix bonded the Black Cop
| or group OF mines, near Globe, for $780,.
0O0, and will at once put up machinery
for the working of the ore. 1t is esti |
mated that one of the claims IS worth |
half million dollars, and will produce
that amount the first year.
The ore will be treated by the leach
ing process, as it is better adapted to /
this class OF minerals.
This deal is the outcome Of Judge Ed
wards untiring efforte, and credit is due
him for the energy be displays in bis
work for the VI building of the mining
interests in his district.
Lost Gulch, in the vicinity OF Globe,
has long been known a. a rich gold and
silver region, and is at present attract |
ing great deal Of attention from min
ing men and prospectors. A number of
rich veins have recently been discovered,
and are in process OF development.
The entire country around Globe is |
enc vast deposit of valuable minerals,
and development is bringing the coun-
