GLOBE DISTRICT.

Warren district has been visited during the week by a number of prominent men from Gila County whd bring encouraging reports of the Globe district from a mining stand: point. Globe district today is pTac. tically in the same position from a development standpoint as this dis trict was five years ago, but the past few months give promise of increas' ed development by outside companies other than the Old Dominion and United Globe. It is not unlikely that the Warren district Bonanza Circle crowd will turn their attention next to the Globe district.

 Compared to the Warren district Globe district has only been scratch. ed on the surface and present out. look gives promise of increased de- velopment work on a large scale. The deepest workings at Globe is only HOO feet and the Old Dominion mine never looked better in its his tory than at this depth. The placing of this property on a solid basis by Phelps-Dodge & Go. has attracted at tention to the Globe district ana II is natural that reports should come of increased business in all lines in the mountain city.
 CALUMET 6 CoCHIsE SOLD.
 The Review is in possession of in formation which is worthy of belief and warrants the statement that the Calumet & Cochise group, or more properly speaking the Cunningham group, is now in the possession of the Warren Realty & Dev. Co.,, or if it is not in possession now, will be on or about the first day or 11th day of June. As stated in these columns on previous occasions, the group has been under option to Duluth parties for several weeks although theif names have not yet been made pub lie. Twenty-Five thousand dollars has been paid down and the balance of the purchase price is due on June II, and there is every assurance that the final payment will be made. Every indication is that this group will form a part of the holdings of the Warren Realty & Dew. Co. It is known that the Bonanza Circle crowd have all along thought well of this ground and there is firm conviction that with deeper exploratory work, an ore body will be uncovered in that vicinity. Especially should the Sagi naw or Denn-Arizona O., which is doing development work at a rapid pace, encounter ore, Calumet & Co- chise ground would immediately c~ws into high favor again.

 WARREN DISTRICT FARM.
 It is not often that mining and farming operations go hand in hand. but such is the condition we are com. ing to in the Warren district Famed the world over for its rich copper mines, we are now to gain an en- viable reputation for the product of alfalfa, corn, pumpkins, etc. and the raising of fine stock. It is about two miles from the Junction shaft to the line of the farming district and already the seed is in the ground over a small area, while blows are turning up the soil at a lively rate in the vicinity of Don Luis flats and some of the fine stock have already been received. Before December the announcement is made that two sec tions of land will be under cultivation and the further official announce. cultivation. Think of it. SS40 acres ment is made that there is sufficient water under control of the promot- CTS of the farming project to ir- rigate five or six sections. An other year should see this area in of cultivated land in the heart of the Warren district where alfalfa hay sells at retail for $500 per ton and pump kin pies are worth, 25 cents each.
 The idea of farm on large scale was conceived by H. A. Smith and H. B. Hovland. Incidentally it might be said that these men have happy faculty of conceiving projects ahead of other people in mining way ss we'll as farming. The Hovland-Smith farm is a close corporation with Tom Collins and Tom Cole making up the quartet and it is reported on good authority. that each stockholder is in to the tune of S10,000; but when one stops to figure that the ground that is used for raising hay will pro duce on an average of four tons to the acre annually and this yield has a market value of $60.00. the propo- sition looks like a safe and conserv. ative investment.
 Richard M. Johnson, a practical farmer of the Salt River valley for the past fifteen years. is superintend- ent of the big farm. He returned this week from Phoenix with 34 head of fine Holstein cattle fourteen of which are thoroughbred cows in the ad' vanced register.
 The price paid for these fourteen head at the time they were brought to Phoenix was $4000 and are the best in Arizona today. It is the in- tention to make the farm the finest stock ranch in Arizona and Maricopa county will again take off her hat 10 Cochise. While in the Salt River valley, Mir Johnson also purchased
