Hammil's first visit 10 this section of the territory for about five years His last visit to Bisbee was before Douglas had been marked off on the map or any survey stakes set around the towusite. In his newspaper work he has kept we'll post cd on Douglas and the wonderful growth of Douglas. but acknowledged that he did not expect Co see such a modern and substantially built city, commenting especially on the wide streets and the handsome business structures in the business section: he was also attracted by the appearance of the park
 Speaking of Globe Mr. Hammil stat ed that the city was never SO prosper ous as now. and the future of the min cral district was never before so prom ising The old Dominion. under the management of the Phelps-Dodgc com pany has installed one of the finest reduction plants in the west. though not so large as some Of them. X new ConcentratOr Is now about ready Co start going the first concentratOr for the district: converters have been installed and every other modern me thod for the reduction of copper ores is included in the new plant

 The Gila Valley. Globe & Northern l railroad i5 making many improve ] ments on their line, which was ueces- sary to accommodate the increasing business going into Globe.
