it is not surprising that at an early age the youth started out for himself, and in 1874 we find him crossing into Ari- zona at Yuma, from which point he made his way to Silver City by way of Tucson. A few years later to return and settle on the banks of Pinal creek.
 Among the numerous properties he has located and been interested in dur ing the last quarter of century, one of the most recent and most promising is the Globe and Arizona Development company, of which Thomas Pascoe is president, Charles T. Martin secretary, and Mir. Rose director. The company own seventeen full claims, while two more have been added to the property since the company was incorporated Last year $6, 900 was spent in develop ment work upon the property with most gratifying returns, MT. Rose associates own fifteen more claims at the east end of the Globe and Arizona Development company's property which are equally as valuable.
 For nine years he was employed by the Old Dominion company, and at the present time is foreman for the Ari- zona Commercial company one of the most active and energetic companies operating in the district.

sagacity are the equal of luck in min ing pursuits in this favored section of Arizona
 John J. Keegan is native of that delightfully."- aristocratic old southern state Virginia, where he was reared to mans estate. Having learned teleg- raphy, he was equipped for life's battles and in the year 1880, after spending a year in various parts of the west, he arrived in Silver City, where he entered the service of the local tele- graph office. From that date until October, 1S99-at which time he re- moved to Globe-he remained a resi- dent of New Mexico.
 Upon arriving in this camp Mir. Kee- gan lost little time in establishing him self in business, purchasing the retail liquor establishment of Bert Young Improvements in the place were made at once, with the result that Mir. Kee- gan has not only retained the patrons of the former owner but made many of his own. 'Keegan's" is known all over southwestern Arizona as a gentle mans resort and meeting place for the bankers, professional men, mining men and business men of the district

aerial tramway for the transportat for of ores.
 At the present time there is a settle. me.lt of over 150 men on the ground, who are employed in the nearby prop critics and find this the best camping ground in the vicinity with an abund- ance of pure water.
 The National MiningExploration com panys head office is No.60 State street, | Boston. It was organized in November, 1905, with the following officers and board of directors: w. II. Mitchell, president; F. A. Woodward, secretary and treasurer; while these gentlemen with Wilbert Morgrage, A. P. Cheney, Chas. M Bruce, H. H. Hazeltine and K. P. Crawford, all of Boston, com prise the board of directors. The com pany was capitalized for $l, 5C0, 900 with shares at par value of $l.00 each. It was the purpose of the company to place bonds upon properties submitted to them, furnish the money for devel- opment purposes, and, after proving them up, reorganize and make subsidiary companies of them. All of the men are business and financial men of stand ing in the old Bay state, and the affairs of the company are ably managed.
 Aside from their interest in the Iron Cap they own a valuable property on the Gila river, seven miles west of Kelvin, consisting of seventeen claims running over mile on the ledge. For over three-fourths of this distance it can be traced with the naked eye, while for almost the entire distance it aver ages 300 feet in width So accessible is the great ore body that half the property can be handled by tunnel and open cut work The main shaft is now down 90 feet and work is being vigor- ously prosecuted to sink it to the S00- foot level. The Copper Peak district like the Globe district in which the Iron Cap is situated, is highly mineral ized and is in it's infancy. With proper development work, both properties are assured Of great future, and the well known financial standing and business ability of the management is sufficient proof that development work will be pushed until the properties join the list of shippers in the district.
 In predicting the future for the Iron Cap it is only necessary to take into consideration few facts to establish the fact that as a dividend payer and producer the property will maintain the reputation of the big mines of the vicinity. Of the continuation of the ledges there is no doubt, they are easily discernible at a distance of a half mile, and properties coming up to the Iron Cap line on either side are producing handsomely. What the fu- ture has in store for the property no one can definitely tell, but to forsee continued and increasing development for the property and place upon the list of shippers in the near future does not require the scientific vision of an expert.

latter and as such adds one to the over whelming evidence that judgment and In fact it takes the place of a local club for Globe and takes it well. Billiard and pool tables are provided and all the latest newspapers and mag azines, and many an important mining deal has been consummated here with an accompaniment of Mum's Extra Dry and Havana cigars, for the class of wines. liquors and cigars dispensed are the choicest to be obtained.
 Naturally in daily touch with mining men, 1t IS not surprising that Mir. Kee- gan became interested in this most alluring of all pursuits, and he mum bers among his assets many valuable claims in different parts of the district, chief among which are the Matthews group consisting of Ii claims located at the, foot of Sleeping Beauty mount ain, about six miles from the camp. Theese properties Mir. Keegan has be en interested in with three associates for the past four years and upon which he has done considerable prospecting and development work with encouraging results.

west to St. Louis, Colorado, New Mexi- co, and finally over the line to the banks of Pinal creelv, where he was to make his home for the ensuing 25 years.
 He has been actively engaged ever since coming to Arizona, at times pros pecting the hills in this vicinity with considerable success, while for num- Der of years he was night foreman of the Old Domir ion.
 About seven years ago Mir. Ryan went to Hachita, N. M., and opened up mine which paid han 1somely for few months. Returning tc Globe he soon recovered from his mining experience over the line.
 About year and half ago MT. Ryan purchased the book and stationery store which he is now conducting, and al- though he devotes but little time to the business he has placed the manage ment in competent hands.
 AS treasurer of the American Copper Mining Company, with claims on Pinto creek but two and one-half miles beyond the famous Gibson mine, Mir Ryan has a property which will be placed on the shipping lst within comparatively short time.

Pat Rose

In the roll-call of Globes pioneers the name of Patrick Rose will be found conspicuous. He first entered Globe on the 18th day of June, 1873, and i'm mediately found work in the mining line by accepting contract on seven claims on Mineral creek, agreeing to erect house there, on the site of the old government springs. Since then he has always made his home and head quarters, with the exception of five years between 1882 and 1887, when he resided in Silver City, in the time of that camps palmy days.
 Pat Rose, as he is familiarly known by his friends throughout the district enjoys the distinction of being native of New Mexico, having been born at Las Lunas, but his father with his fam fly moved to San Antonia, Texas, while Pat was but two years of age. MT. Roses father was Mexican war vet eran and pioneer of the southwest, while his grandfather was one of the original settlers of the Fort Dearborn, long since the site of the great metrop- olis of the middle west, Chicago.

Great Republic Group

Messrs. Geo. Bowen, J. c. Clark Herman Sidow and Hinson Thomas are the fortunate possessors of group of claims in the Pinto creek district which give every evidence of being among the most promising in that vicinity.
 Lying between the McNelly- Crowley claims and the Yo Tambien properties it is most advantageously located. The McNelly- Crowley group have recently been sold for $l75, 900 and is to be rap idly developed. All of the properties in that vicinity-thc Gibson, the Amer ican Copper, the Five Points and others
 are rapidly being opened up and many of them are shippers.
 The Great Republic group has been owned by the present owners for the past nine years and consists of six full claims. On the property much devel- opment work has been done and over $6,000 expended in improvements and underground work.
 The ore bodies are large and give every promise of rich returns, assay values running from to 30 per cent in copper and as high as $4S in gold. The gentlemen owning the property are pioneers in Arizona and this district and have been identified with the min ing interests of the camp since shortly after their arrival.

E. C. & H. E. Bierce. Assayers

As modern mining approaches nor, nearly to conservative methods of bus ness, it calls to it's aid men skilled in tho sciences from the best schools and uni. versailles of the world. Among those most recently added to the little colony of scientists of Globe none are more capable than the gentlemen who con duct the assay office and chemical la. boratory on Mezquite street directly opposite the Kinney house.
 E. c. Bierce is graduate of the Western Reserve University of Cleve- land, Ohio, where he took a special course in mining, chemistry and me- tallurgy. Immediately upon receiving his sheepskin he was offered position with the American Smelling & Refining company in Mexico, and for seven years he was identified with that great corporation in various parts of Mexico, including the camp of Parral in Chibua- hua, and later with the immense 2OOO ton shelter at Aguas Calientes, in the southern part of the republic.
 Coming here in January this year Mir. Bierce associated with his brother, H. E. Bierce, a graduate of the celebrated Ohio seat of learning, Miami college, and at once put up a first-class assay ing furnace and chemical laboratory as evidence of his intention to stay and become identified with the camp.

Wm. I. McNelly

William T. McNeliy was born in the state of Maryland, in 1850. He was reared in his native town until reaching the age of fifteen, when he removed to Michigan remaining for five years before coming west in 1870. He ar rived in Globe Oct. ], 1876, and almost immediately established himself in business in the camp, which at that time was the center of a considerable mining excitement. For thirty years Mir McNelly has conducted his retail liquor business in Globe and enjoys the distinction of being the oldest cstab- lishct busin ,ss man in the town. His establishment was always one of the best in the district, and he served the ,est class of wines and liquors to be obtained. All of the freight at that Arizona, or from Pueblo, Colorado, the learest railroad or water points to the 'truggling little camp.
 Mining men made their headquarters 1t his place, and McNelly has grub 'taked and outfitted men from year to ear. since shortly after his arrival. In his Jay he secured interests in num- ger of properties at various times into NIlICH ne pidCeO HIS money 10 OevelOp hem, and has mad several mining Ieals which have proven a source of ,rofit. But it remained for the recent 'onding of the McNelly- Crowley group or STE. .090 to place him in a position O attract attention for the persever- .nce and tenacity he had displayed in iolding on and investing his money all hese years in the hope of ultimately winning. He has won and his friends Ill rejoice with him. The Arizona Iational Copper company, with offices Williamsport. Pennsylvania, are the purchasers, and preparations are being made to vigorously prosecute develop ment work on the property.
 Mir. McNelly is the type of citizen who places his shoulder to the wheel of progress, and devotes his energies to the general good of the camp. He was married in 1881 to Miss Ida Evelyn Fox of Iowa, and they have one son, Ben, now employed as an assayer by the Old Dominion company.

William Ryan

Arizona was known as great cattle country even before silver mining had attracted the attention of the adven-
 turous men who braved the hardships of pioneer life here twenty-five years ago to seek the treasures hidden in the bare hills of the territory. Among the number who sought fortune as long ago as 1881 in the district tributary to this camp is William Ryan, a native of the Emerald Isle; ;and at the time of his arrival in the camp, on the 18th of Jan uary, 1881, in the United States less than year from his native heath. In that year, however, he had seen great deal of the country. having spent few months in New York City, and some time in the great coal region of Penn

If there is any advantage in good To- cation, and the history of mining has demonstrated that there is, the mines on the head of Mineral Creek in the vi- cinity of such producing properties as the Gibson should have a great future. Such a property is the American Cop per Company, with eleven claims ad- vantageousiy located n the heart of richly mineralized zone.
 The former owners of this property from a lO0-foot shaft shipped 20 tons of ore which averaged 20 per cent in cop per and the present management is prosecuting work in a most vigorous manner.
 There are two shafts on the property, one of which is down to a depth of 100 feet, from which a drift has been run 135 feet on the ledge, while on the S0- foot shaft no drifting has been done; and it is the purpose of the manage

ment to sink to 200 feet before com mencing to drift.
 The American Copper company was incorporated less than six months ago with the following officers: Sam L. Gib- son, president; Wm. Ryan, treasurer; John L. Alexander, secretary, and J. F. Coughlin, vice-president.
 MT. Gibson is well known as owner of the Gibson Copper company and oth- CT mining interests of the distri:t. John l.. Alexander is president and manager of the Globe Commercial company and heavily interested in various mining en- terprises in the district; and Wm. Ryan has been a resident of the camp for 25 years and is proprietor of a mercantile business in Globe as well as a cattleman and experienced mining man.
 The gentlemen composing this per sonnel are too well and favorably known to require introduction at the hands of the SILVER BELT.

TRICK or THE MEAT TRUST.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 23-In ifs current issue the official journal of the Csopers' International Union of North America exposes what it terms another trick of the meat trust. and one which failed to come to light in the federal and other recent investigations The article refers to the practice of silicaiing cooperagc packages In which meats are curcd. and in which butterinc and various meats arc pre-. pared for shipment.
 The article says in part: "In former years all barrels and kegs used for food products in meat packing houses were planed out clean inside, and the leaks carefully repaired through me. chanicnl means. For instance, If \ barrel contained a defective piece of wood (stavc or hca,ling), the defec. tive piece was removed. and n new one inserted.

MEXICAN sMELTERMEN ATTACK SHIFT BOSS
 AT CLIFTON

On Friday evening last George High, one of the shelter forcmen at the \. C. works at Clifton had somo trouble with q Mexican cmployc. which came near being of serious nature, says the Era. Mr. High states that some few weeks ago eight Mexicans arrived from Douglas who had been employed on the feed floors at Cananea. and they were given employment, and ns it developed that they were compe. tent men, he showed them many fay. ors, and soon advanced them to eight hour jobs. X short time ago he dis. covered that things were not going right, and few nights before the trouble hc overheard one of them say to his partner that they would do up the furnaces and also the mayordomo. He then watched them closely. and on the night of the trouble caught some of the men from Cananea putting in
 
 sary coke. He stopped the business right there, when he was assaulted by one of the men from Cananca with a heavy lunch bucket He was repeat. cdly struck over the head and arm with the bucket, and as he was not armed. and was the only American on the feed floor. he backed away ns rap. idly as possible. Finally. one of the Mexicans who had long resided here. came to his assistance with shovel. which Mr. High grabbed, and then pro cceded to defend himself Three other Mexicans. who were of the same bunch who had recently arrived from Can anca. also came forward with shovels, but did not attack him. The man who had made the assault then disappeared. The next morning Mir. High. in com. pany with Deputy Shcrin Bill Spaw, took the train and went to Duncan. On the following day the man who made the assault, in company with an other of the Cananea bunch, showed up in Duncan short time before the train was due, and he was immediately arrested, and will bc tried before Jus. ticc Ncf.
 Mr. High. who has long been in the employ of the A. C. company. and who is known as n very conservative man, states that these men from Cauanea had been doing all in their power to create dissatisfaction among their own people here, with the intent of bring ing about trouble in the community.
