GLOBE MINES SHOW GENERAL
 IMPROVEMENT

The local mining situation in the Globe district continues highly satis- factory. The operating companies are all busy and there is growing conf dence in the future of the district. says the Silver Belt. The building of the railroad from Globe to Miami is having an excellent effect as 1t Is realized that railroads are not built unless there is assurance of enough business to yield a reasonable reve- nue on the investment; and there is no one who has any knowledge of the Miami section, of it's enormous copper deposits and the efforts being put forth by strong companies to de velop them, who does not look for ward to unexampled activity and in crease in population in that part of Globe district. There are mining men who predict that the NJ ami sec tion in a very few years will become one of the greatest low grade copper districts in the United States.
 Miami SuIphide Deposit.
 The Miami Copper company. which 8 year ago had 2,500 900 tons of ore
 n sight, now has 13,500.000 ton, blocked out, with the probability of a much larger tonnage being devel- oped. Within a year the Miami com pany. expects to be treating 2000 tons of ore daily, from which a recovery of 45 pounds of copper per ton would insure 32,000, 900 pounds per annum The ore already placed in sight is spfFic'ent from which to supply 2000 tons daily for more than eighteen years In view of this and the possi bilities following further. develop uents, 1t seems highly probable that the company will ultimately make provision for the treatment of 400C tons of ore da,ly The railroad shonlC be completed to Miami by July l. al which date active construction of th' Miami company's concentrator vii
 begin.
 The Inspiration is another property which gives promise of developing into a great mine, rivaling the Miami which it adjoins on the west. Th' ores of the Miami and Inspiration ar' of the same character. being mainl. sulph de in the form of calcocite dis
 seminated through schist, and carry
 ing from 2 per cent to per cent coT , per. As recently stated in an easterl financial paper. five years ago mil
 ing men would scarcely look at
 
 copper mining proposition the ore O
 which contained less than 3 per cen
 copper, the Lake district alone e,
 cepted; now several of the large pro e ducing copper mines in the west ar quite tow grade, such as the Uta s Copper, Boston Consolidated. Ohi l- Copper. Nevada Consolidated an Fl Cumberland-Ely. The ores Of th s Utah Copper company average les l. than per cent copper, and in fac 1 the ores of all the properties meI 4 toned run less in copper than th
 Miami and Inspiration ore. The Ra F. Consolidated is another Arizona prol } erty the ore of which is similar { 'f that of the Miami, although not ca ,. rying so much copper.
 'I Developing Big Ore.
 The Inspiration. which was take D over three months ago by the Gun Thompson interest, is being deve r ioped under the direction of George ' e Gum as general manager. and Henr T. Krumb as consulting engineer. IT e surface showing on the Inspiration 't far better than on the Miami. and th P development work done by the 10 r mer owners placed ,500. 900 tons
 low grade sulphide in sight, and ther = is reason to believe that a tremel e dous Ionnage vii be revealed by th e work to be done within the next yea
