SCENE OF ACTIVITY IN COPPER HILL
 SECTION
BRIGHT FUTURES ASSURED FOR MANY PROPERTIES GROUPED
 IN THAT DISTRICT
SINKING ON ARIz0NA.M|CH|CAN
TWENTY EIGHT MEN WORKING ON NEW SHAFT or SUPERIOR
 & GLOBE MINE

Though hampered to some extent by the lack of adequate means of trans portation, both for ore and necessary machinery, the mining district lying to the east of Copper Hill is the scene of much activity at the present time. The attitude of several mine owners of that reg on is to await the coming of the railroad extension from Cutter which some feel sure will not be long in the making! Manifestly, a rail road would be godsend to the mining men of wide stretch of country there where water, oil, ore, machinery and building materials now have to be brought in on wagons. Most mining experts who have carefully gone over and inspected this district, show no hes itation in saying that all indications offered by surface contours and the po- sition of lodges in surrounding mines point to this region as having unex- celled possibilities as a mineral pro ducing area. Among the mines where working is not now being done on 8 large scale, but which evidently have bright futures are the Arizona-Michi- gan, the Superior & Globe, the Chris man Globe and the Centennial. The valuation of property lying around these mines is rising daily in the estimation of mining investors.
