 q regret very much that yosU kind invitation reached me after the morn ing train had departed for I am sure the Globe chamber of commerce should have taken advantage of the opportun ity to send a representative to meet the business men of Phoenix and re- spOnd to the toast you suggest As lIlfiSt WHO nave BttI lt-lN CtH lF~tiA there is so much Globe man has to talk about if he wishes to convey a proper idea Of the great resources of the greatest copper camp in the south west. that he could scarcely undertake to tell it all between drinks Probably no city in the southwest has passed through such a crucial period in the satisfactory manner than Globe wealth cred the late financial gale. Its mill lions of money and securities suddenly withdrawn by the suspension of two of it's leading banks came like bolt of lightning from a clear sky, but business with sails slightly trimmed, rode the swell of the storm without losing its poise for an instant, and there was not single failure. No sacrifices of real estate were made and the curtailment of mining operations was very slight when one considers the magnitude and ferocity of the if nanciai gale. No better illustration of the stability of this great mining camp could be cited. and we call your at tention with pride to Globes rapid and substantial return to it's old time pros perity The First National Bank, one of our strongest financial institutions. has reopened it's doors with greater capiatl back of it and more money in it's valuts than ever, and the Globe Ma tional will soon reopen stronger than before the crash Mining has beeR carried on actively during the period of depression and is now rapidly bejng prosecuted with expanding activity throughout the district. The Globe chamber of commerce congratulates the board of trade of Phoenix upon its great success in advancing the mater ial interests of the Salt river valley and Phoenix and gives assurance of its hearty cooperation in any movement that may advance diversified interests of Arizona. We realize that the more you raise for man and beast to eat the better they will be fed. and assure you that our money Is yours as fast as you send along your cantaloupes, strawberries, oranges. vegetables and alfalfa. We take it as granted that you realize the importance to your val ley of any successful movement that advances Globe, and we call your at tention in this connection to the cir cuitOus route to Globe from the val ley by rail- and direct your considera- tiOn of the Spreckles railway project to the end that that proposed railway may bring Globe and the Salt river valley into closer communication. Be kind enough to show MT. Spreckles the trail leading out of the valley to Globe. the greatest copper camp in the west and the future metropolis of Arizona.
