Bisbee daily review., 1905-03-12


 For four days there has been a four column advertisement running in the Review for the Globe and Arizona | Development Co.,, of Globe. which | speaks for itself It is only fair to say that the simple fact of the Copper Queen people securing control of the Old Dominion and United Globe prop critics, expending millions of money in the mine and in the new shelter and concentrator, which are now produc- ing over 2,OO0,000 pounds of blister copper per month, and are already increasing the capacity of the shelter to a point that will insure a yearly out put of 30,Cg0,000 to 35,0OO,0O0 pounds, is an endorsement of the Globe dis trict that is far and away above the saw that country.
 The Globe and Arizona property is located on the great mineral zone of the Globe district, and joins the Old Dominion properties. From the map it can be said that they have a spien- did chance for a good mine.
 The people who are putting Globe 6 Arizona forward have the highest recommendaticsS from substantial Globe mining and business men. The latter are a unit in expressing conf1- dence in the integrity of the Globe Arizona folks and in expressing conf. dence in the ground they are putting forward.
 Mir. Saint, who has been in the ciSy during the week putting the stock oi the Globe-Arizona on the market, hal met with much encouragement. Pee pie in the city who are acquainted with the Globe district have already taken up a considerable block of the stock issue that has been made, and more will doubtless be placed here during the next week, by which time many who have investment in view will have had time to investigate the proposition to the extent they desire before putting their cash into the ven ture.
 Globe district has had good many trials and tribulations in the years gone by. It now appears in shape to throw off the worst of it's troubles for keeps, a management having come to its principal proerties which has al- ready put them upon a vastly improy- ed basis and made of them stable, div idend making propositions. That there is much good ground about Globe yet to be developed is just as unquestionably true as the same thing is true of most every other mining To- cality in Arizona. That the Globe Arizona has some of this ground is an entirely reasonable presumption.
