THE GLOBE TO BE


 There comes a point in the rise to prominence of any industry where few cents increase II the price of its products is portentous in its re sults Likewise there comes stage in the growth of any city where even a slight augu- mentation of its commercial activity is far reaching and remarkable in its effect. The co ordination of these two corollaries of progress is nowhere better typifed than in the close rela- tionship that exists between rise or fall of 8 few cents in the price of copper and the fur therance or retarding of Globe in her industrial march toward metropolitan standards.
 With copper at thirteen cents, Globe is the most lively city commercially that has thus far grown up in the southwest With copper selling at fifteen cents a pound, the imagination has ample excuse for running riot down, prophetic vistas truly elysian. And laying aside, for the time being the myopc monocle through which ii is the custom for the loyal Globe enthusiast te view the possibilities which the future holds forth to this city, 1t is permissible to predict with all certainty of having time verify every utterance prophetic, that with a few cents rise in the price of the red metal which is Globe $ financial bulwark, this city will, in five years, have fully 50000 inhabitants. And inasmuch as most of these residents will be financially pros porous, their support of every public facility should be strong enough and persistent enough to make them realities and to maintain them af- ter they are once installed The trolley car will wend its way over shining cordons of rails en- circling every residential and business section Tributary lines of this system of transportation will stretch out in industrial communion with Globes leading suburban mining camps. The raucous roar of the smeters preparing Globe district copper for the market will be louder anC more strident in its tones than it is today, for then the industry of these smelters will be tense whereas now it is merely uniformly regular in is volume. Globe will have handsomer public buildings, more pretentious and permanent homes, more scenic attractiveness, and every public facility of which any urgent need is felt The people who have their eyes on the past and are of retrogressive mood will have then either moved away or become converts of progress and Globe will have only men and women to whom the morrow will be of more moment than yesterday. For yesterdays are dead things al best; today is the time for endeavor and to. morrow is the day of hope. And to hope, neith, CT time, nor death ever set any limits. And this IS the kind of hope that imbues the mental per spective of the progressive Globe resident.
 And alredy the knowledge and assurance that the rise of copper to fifteen cents pound would bring to Globe all those adjuncts of prosperity which we have pictured, we are also assured by conditions now existent and by men conversant with the facts that copper will undoubtedly reach the fifteen cent mark at no very distant date
 To be sure, the present copper surplus is fixed by estimates at 350,000,000 pounds, while the maximum monthly consumption in the United States is 60,000000 pounds. Adding, however to the amount of copper consumed monthly in this country that which is used abroad, it can be readily seen that, in relation to the worlds consumption, the present existing surplus is not so formidable in size it might at first thought appear. But the chief point to be considered is that, with the elimination of this surplus which accumulated in times of panic the present glut on the market will be removed and consequently the price of copper will go higher. A rise of two cents is all that is needed to give power ful impetus to every industry that directly af- fleets the growth of Globe. And of this increase m copper values we can feel sure
 An important movement now tending to in- crease the consumption of copper and hence the market value, is the identification of railroads of which the New York, New Haven & Hartford company has first set an example.
 It was only last yer that one of the most prom
