MANA DISTRICT SHOWS ACTIVITY
 IN MINING

GLOBE, July 2-Before the rest dent, the eastern capitalist or visitor to c obe can realize the magnitude or the treasure locked in the hills of the Miami district. trip on horseoack 70 that region will be necessary, and the ride will unfold picture of industrial activity and stored riches almost De- yopd belief.
 Choosing the wagon roe1 that fol' icv Ins railroad to Miami, which lat ter is now In course of construction, the traveller to Miami encounters his first surprise long before the crash and boom and roar from the Old Do
 aelter has died away.
 Within a few feet from the road on the Pinal creek about two miles from Globe. a steam well drilling outfit Of huge proportions. manned by force of a dozen men, is working extra shifts in an effort to hasten the complstion of a, well of sufficient depth and diam eter to furnish water for the Miami corcentrator. Already four miles If trench have been exoavsted and with in few ards of the-welI forty car loas.:, of tten-inch wrought iron pipa awaits the pipe layers to bolt into q monstrous round black iron conduit four miles in length. The magnitude of the undertaking of supplying DOT. ton of the water necessary for the Miami concentrator perhaps can ee realized when the statement Is maae that the expense of excavating tn well a,d cosf or water plant for city of 50,0o0 inhahitahis,
 Continuing the traveller maIvels at the ease with which the railroad els gineers have overcome apparently in surmountable obstacles and leaving as 2 result of their labor tortuous road bed as firm as Gibraltar and as leyel as a slab. Giant rocks have been hauled for miles to serve as rlp rapping where the water in the creek at flood times sweeps away every thing in its path: sand has oeeh dredged from the entire course of lhe creek to form the roadbed and nun erous cuts have been made through solid rock: Track is now being laid and when one sees the score or more of construction camps and hunafeas vi working men and droyes ot Nh4uao'e mules and heavy grading equipment located at regular intervals along the route the claim of the railroad com many mat ITdluS VIII Bt iAaNN Miami within six weeks will not be disputed. While the cost of this ln' unrtant piece of railroad cannot be ascertained, il is certain that the con struction and physical equipment vii represent an outlay of nearly hall million dollars.
 After journeying along this wonder ful and expensive stretch of railroad thynftoh onlChpS anl draws and canyons the traveller sud denlv finds himself in entirely differ ept country. The land is level, th' hills on either side are farther ava! and the view ahead is uninterrupted This portiou of the country is callet Miami Flats. and is now being cleare' of brush its entire distance and is tn proposed location of several townsit companies. From this pint the frs view of the Miami workings are to D had. Precision, cleanliness and or derliness characterize every movemen the Miami company has made and ih first viw of this company's propert! though secured several miles distan is convincing that the company Is substantial concern. The boardin houses and cottages for the 300 wori men have not been architectural sIiChted and are prettily painted an comfortably furnished.
 At theterminus of the railroa near the proposed station is the n cIeus of a thriving community. Frol this point choice of trails can | made. leading to the important mint of this marvelousiy rich district. I'll Miami is on the nearest hill, adJoi ing is the Cordova property, and short distance away are the Ee known and developed mines of Il Liy Oak, the Inspiration, the Blat Warrior, the Orphan. the Keystor and many others of no less impol ance.
 Several men interested in mini: made this interesting trip to M:ar Sunday and only had tin to explo two of the many mines of the Miar district-the Cordova and the Lii Oak

The shaft is down 235 feet al if was stated that the rock broug up showed streaks of concentrauI ore running as high as 35 per ce copper. The averag across the shs was reported to run between 1-2 al per cent copper. Fiy 1t day is | progress in the shaft
 From the above promising prop' ty the journey to the Live Oak mi was made, where President Hoval Smith Of the Live Oak company h arranged a lunch for the party.
