GROWING IN FAvoR
trsoa Wednesday, Daily

with eastern mining people and the
past few months have witnessed
wide distribution Of the shares of the
leading mining companies operating
here. This district il now very gener-
ally admitted 10 be one Of the most
important of the copper producing dis
tricts OF the United States, and BE-
cause Of its large extent and the lin.
tied development of its copper depoS
IFS, the tremendous possibilities Of the
district for the production Of copper
are recognized in mining circles, says
the Silver Belt.
Old Dominion, Miami, Arizona Com.
mercial, Superior and Boston, Warrior,
and National Mining Exploration have
all received frequent and favorable no
tice in mining and financial publica-
,ions, and also in the daily press az
New York and Boston. The steadily
increasing production of copper by the
Old Dominion company during a period.
Of great depression in the industry,
and the phenomenal. ere developments
on the Miami Copper Company's prop
erty, have had much TO do with Great
ing n better sentiment among mining
men for Globe district.
TIE Miami section possesses tremes-
| dous Potentially for the expansion Of
mining in Globe district and a growth
in population and general business that
should, in a few years, place Globe in
advance Of all other mining camps In
the southwest.
| The Miami company is continuing
development with most satisfactory re-
suits, extending the drifts and crosscuts
in the ore body. the limits Of which
are not yet in sight, and adding enor-
mously 10 the ore blocked out. SO
great have been the ore developments
tnat we understand the company has
decided to increase the initial capacity
of its mill from 1000 20 1000 tons.
While nothing Official has been Civ
en- out in regard TO the extension Of
the railroad from Globe to the Miami
company's property, a rumor comes
from a very good source that the con-
tract for grading the roadbed has been
let and that the work is TO begin with
In very few weeks. The construc-
ton Of this piece Of road, which will
be about seven miles long, presents no
Engineering problems and saould not
require more than four months to CON
plete. J. Parke Claiming, consulting
engineer for the Miami company, has
prolonged his visit in order to lay out
the engineering work for some time in
advance, as he will not be able 10 70.
turn 20 Globe for several months.
The exploration Of the keystone
properly with ehurn drills will soon be
under way and IL is good opinion that
the same character and extensive de-
post OF ore ms opened in the Miami
will be found in the Keystone.
Development work az the Montgom-
cry mine continues with gratifying re-
suits, and the sinking of No. 4 winxs
Is progressing. II is at a depth Of 133
feet at present. The crosscut nj fifty
feet in this Wine is still in high grade
ore, proving the ore body to be Of large
dimensions. Preparations have been
:, made for crosscutting the ore body nj
!, the depth of 1873 feet. Constant de-
velopment work is also being done on
the upper level.
al A new steam plant is being installed,
:, which, when completed and ready fol

a about the same number employed dur
% ing the past several weeks, but II Il
