fellow made the play. Not only is Cheek
a fast and game fielder. but he displays
considerable judgment at the bat. He
is not the heavy s-icker that Bill Byers

plate he tried hard and he usually sue

GLoBE-At the plant of the Miami Copper Company, located on the hill. side just above the new city Of Cor. dova, which is expected to acquire a population of generous proportions as soon as the railroad extension is put into use, force of about 300 men is at work. The blocking out of the enormous quantities of ore is being continued and the grading for the new concentrating plant is almost finished.
 As soon as it is possible to run cars over the branch line extension, the material and machinery necessary for the concentrator will be shipped in and big force Of men will be put at work. on the construction of the mill.
 Although when the concentrator is complete, it will have a capacity of 4,O00 tons day, at present, only the first unit will be installed, so that the mill will be able to handle only ? 900 tons day. As there is a tremen- dous amount of Sxork in the building and equipping of mill of such size, it is hardly probable that the great output of concentrates from the Miami ores will begin to increase the pro duction of Globe district before the fall of 1910.
 Previous to the making of definite plans for the erection and fitting up of the concentrator, a great deal of experimentation was done at the small experimental plant located just below shaft No. l of the Miami mine. As a result of the experiments and the concentration of 100 tons of Miami ore by the Old Dominion Copper Min ing & Smelling Company. it is beliey- ed that these ores will concentrate in the ratio of at least sixteen to one

VICTIM OF ACCIDENT . DIES IN GLOBE HOSPITAL

GLOBE-After three months of suf- fering as a result of fall down a raise in the Old Dominion mine, which resulted in a fracture of the spinal column, Tom Jukeh, died at the Old Dominion hospital yesterday.
 Jukeh had a remarkable escape from death at the time of the acci- dent Losing his footing while work ing in the Old Dominion mine. he plunged down raise to the bottom, 160 feet below.
 It was due to the fact that the raise was not exactly vertical that death was not instantaneous.
 It was at first thought that his injuries were not necessarily fatal. It developed later, however, that his back had been broken. He fought valiantly against death. but the end was only a matter of time.
 The body of the deceased was taken to the parlors of F. L. Jones & Son yesterday afternoon and preparations made for burial. It is probable that the Miners union will have charge of the services.

and return saving of about 75 per cent.
 If the capacity of the first unit of the new concentrator is 1000 tons a day, and saving of about 70 per cent is made from the 2.75 per cent copper ores, an average of about 39 pounds of copper from each ton of ore should be recovered. By these figures more than 77,00O pounds of copper. should be produced daily. The production would thus be 2,31O,000 pounds a month or about 2S.OO0,O0O pounds a year from the first unit of the concen- trator, and the addition of the second unit would bring the annual produc- tion up to 56,O0O.00O pounds. In the light of these roughly made but con seryative calculations, the part that the Miami Copper Company is des- tined to play in the idustrial future of Globe district can be readily seen. seen.
 If the estimte is carried further, and the generous allowance of g cents a pound is made for expenses of pro duction. the profit on each pound Of copper would be f cents, assuming the market price to be only 1S cents. The net proceeds for year. estimat- ing the production at 56,OO0.000 pounds, would thus be $2,24O,0OO.
 Everything indicates that the Mi ami concentrator will be a model one. H. Kenyon Burch, the mechanical en. gineer for the Miami Copper com pany, who has prepared the design for the mill, gained a high reputation for his work in designing the Nacozari concentrator of the Moctezuma Cop. per company, and it is altogether likely that, in a number of ways, the Miami concentration will be an i'm. provement on any now existent in the Southwest.

 ~Of course, while the plan is pretty well understood, no official anonunce- TDent of the direct extension has been made and Naco people are just little afraid that it may prove myth r said one prominent Naco man yester- day. NO one there is anxious to get out as he was a short time back If there is any advantage to be reaped the men who have held on for a long fine want to be in line to secure bene- fits. whatever they may be-"
 In view of this feeling. which Is general among the residents of the lit' tle town on the border, the price Of realty is held at from twenty-five to fifty per cent higher than 1t was a few weeks ago.
