A Projected Railroad to Strike
 a Great Mining District.
AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE
Will Open Up and Materially Aid in inc Development Of Large Tract of Couniry-Phoenix- Globe Toll Road Also 10 Be Completed Independent of inc New Rail- road.

MT. Henry A. Fry. MT Ernest L. Tustin and MT. Charles E. Cn;ouey are at the Adams hotel, having just come
 in from Globe. In addition to their interest in the Black Warrior they
 have acquired twenty-three claims about six miles from Globe, known as the Donellan property. and company l has been formed to develop these claims under the title of the Donellan 1 Copper company MT Henry A. Fry 1 is president, Charles E. Coloney, vice president; Ernest L. Tustin, secretary and treasurer; Jchn T. Donellan, gen. eral manager, and James A. Fleming, resident director.
 This enterprise will be an important addition to the mineral development of the territory, which is at present showing more activity in all sections
 than ever before in it's history. But i even more important than this pur- i chase. Of the Donellan property is a projected narrow gauge line of rail- read between Phoenix and Globe for which a charter was yesterday applied for by Messrs. Fry, Tustin and Col oney and which they propose to con- struct by way of Pinto creek. forth
 with.
 They have been induced to take this step owing to what they consider Is the unfair treatment to which they have been subjected by the Gila Val ley, Globe and Northern railroad, and their object in building the projected road is to obtain an outlet in. connec- tion with the Santa Fe Prescott 6 Phoenix and the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe at Ash Fork.
 The territory covered by the pro posed new line is sufficiently large to give it traffic which would insure the investment being a profitable one. Competition with the Southern Pacific would undoubtedly be beneficial. and the gentlemen mentioned feel that they can get eastern capital sufficient iy interested to take up the develop ment of that territory provided it can be satisfactorily shown that reason able transportation facilities can be afforded.
 The projected road will be about 40 miles in length There are no heavy grades or serious engineering | difficulties and the carrying out of the project would be a most valuable ad- ditiOn to the transportation facilities of the territory, especially as the con- struction of the proposed line will in ncwise affect the completion of the Phoenix-Globe wagon road commenced by Colonel Fleming which will be fin ished by the Doneilan company intle- pendently of the railroad.
 It may be mentioned that MT. Err nest L. Tustin is vice-presidient, MT. Henry A. Fry, treasurer. and MT. Ckar.es F. Coloney one of the direct ors of the Black Warrior mine, and the special mining correspondent of The Republican gives under date of the 12th inst. the following interesting account of the visit of those gentlemen to that celebrated mine
 MT. Henry A. Fry is one of the larg- est importers of teas, coffees, spices and other products of this kind in the United States. In every mining camp in the country his name is known by the chefs de cuisine and his praises are sung because of the manner in which he prepares these indispensable commodities. Arizona is fortunate that MT. Fry is her friend And MT. Fry is fortunate that he is one of the owners of the Black Warrior mine, for there is no better prospect in the southwest. Since the success of this mine is assured the owners have be- gun to reach out for new fields of in vestment within the boundaries of the territory. The visit of the Phiiadel- phia capitalists who accompanied MT. Fry to Arizona means more than ap- pears on the surface. Their visit to the Black Warrior twas not alone to look at the great bodies of ore which Col. James A. Fleming has found in the mine. To be sure, they found great deal of interest in looking upon the veins of copper ore which contain S6,0O0,000 according to Col. Fleming's computation, and the cost of extract ing and treating but S2,0O0,000, leaving each one of the owners of the Black Warrior in the class of miilionaires- if they have not already attained that distinction. They came to take the preliminary steps toward building a railroad from Globe to the Salt River valley and to look into the feasibility of building dam on the Salt river
