GROWTH OF GLOBE

Within a twelvemOnth, Globe and it's immediate surroundings have increased fully 20 per cent in population, taking a very conservative estimate and there are now some 13,0O0 people in Globe proper
 Not all of the growth has been confined to this city. The surrounding district has increased in population, as new mining camps have sprung up and new towns, of which Miami is a notable example, have been thrown open to the public.
 The city has grown in size as well as population. Several months ago, the peo- pie of the portions of South and East Globe which were at that time outside the boundaries of the city proper, made appli- cation for admission to this city. The peo- pie of this outside district realized that the advantages of being within the city far exceeded the slight additional expense of owning property in an incorporated city. As the result, their petition was so strong that the city council granted their request with alacrity.
 In wealth Globe has also vastly in- creased The assessment rolls for this year show nearly three-quarters of a mil lion dollars worth more taxable property than did the same rolls, a year ago.
 The assessed valuation at the present time is approximately two and three-quar- ter millions of dollars. A year ago it had barely crossed the two million mark.
 The addition of South and East Globe has naturally added some assessable prop erty, which has helped to increase the value of the property, real, personal and improved, in this city. By far the larger bulk of this increase, however, has come through the improvement of Globes busi- ness district by the addition of dozen new business and public buildings.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1910-01-01
MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS

Chief among municipal improvements last year was the purchase of the water system of the Pinal Mountain Water com pany by this city, at cost of about $170,- 900.
 By the acquiring of this system, Globe now controls her own water supply, which has already proved itself to be a great advantage
 This plant is now earning about 15 per cent annually on an investment of $200,- 900, the amount of the bonded indebted ness of this city, incurred at the time the system was purchased.
 A good portion of the earnings have been expended in improving the service and acquiring more water. This work is practically complete at the present time and in the future, the earnings of the com pany will soon furnish a'net profit suf1i- cient to pay off the indebtedness incurred by the purchase of the system.
 Many improvements are now under way toward the improvement of the city streets. Portions of Mesquite, Cedar, Hill and Sutherland streets are now be- ing graded and plans are under way for the grading of Oak and Sycamore streets. Broad street was materially improved several months ago, when it was resur- faced with limestone from Bankers Gar den to the Gila Valley depot.
 With the fire department, an important addition in the way of chemical engine has been made. This machine, drawn by two horses, carries 1000 feet of fire hose, in addition to chemical tank and addi- tiona hose for that apparatus. This ma chine can reach fire in short order and as both the chemical solution and the reg ular city water-can be brought to bear on the fire in few minutes, much better fire protection can be secured than has been the case in the past.
 A new fire house is also nearing com

BUILDING ACTIVITY

Not another city in Arizona can ap- proach Globe in the amount of building which has been done during the past year Business buildings have sprung up in all parts of the downtown district. Resi- dences have been erected in every quarter of the city.
 Business and residence buildings alike are of a stable nature Structures which have been built with the confidence of the men who bore the expense, the confidence inspired by the fact that Globe is growing and her growth is the solid, substantial kind that is entirely foreign to the boom which fades away and dies with the least sign of diversity.
 Here are the principle buildings which have been erected during the past year or which are nearing completion at the pres ent time:
 Amster buildings Large two-story brick structure at Broad and Oak streets, practically completed and partially occu- pied at the present time. Commodious two-story structure at Broad and Bailey streets. The uptown structure is one of the handsomest business blocks in Globe. The Bailey street building, while not so large or imposing, is a well built structure. which is entirely a credit to that part of the city.
 Sultan building Handsome two-story

FORECAST

Will the growth of Globe and the Globe district continue during the present year as it has done in the past?
 From the improvement prospects which the entire district has in sight, the answer is yes, in scarehead type.
 Here are some of the things which the people of the Globe district may look for ward to during this year, things which are already beyond the probability stage.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1910-01-01

structure adjoining the court house. The entire lower floor is occupied by Sultan Brothers department store. The upper floor is arranged for office rooms. With the exception of finishing a part of the second story, this structure is complete.
 Gila Valley bank-One of the hand somest bank buildings in the territory is that of the Gila Valley Bank & Trust com pany, at Broad and Mesquite streets. While not large, this structure is unusual Iy ornate, both with regard to it's external and internal appearance. It provides handsome and commodious quarters for the institution by which it is occupied and its money and valuable vaults are as near fire and burglar proof as human skill and ingenuity can contrive.
 Jones building The Jones building, at Broad and Oak streets, is valuable addi- ton to this city. It covers large ground space and contains six business rooms on the ground floor, i'll addition to office rooms on the second floor of the main building on the corner
 Postoifice-The new postolfice building, adjoining the Jones building, is another recent addition to the business section of this city The bulk of the ground floor space is occupied by the postoffice, and within a short time, the second floor will be used as an annex to the Dominion hotel
 Empire theater-The new Empire the ater is well on its way to completion. This building will be fire proof in every respect and will seat some 800 people when ready for occupancy. The stage is amply large and the stage loft sufficiently high to ac- commodate any travelling theatrical com pany which will come to this city in many years. This structure will present pleas ing appearance, both from the exterior and the interior.
 Dealers ice plant-While out of the run of business buildings, the new plant of the Dealers Ice X Cold Storage company at Oak and Pine streets is valuable ad- dition to this city. This plant is equipped to turn out twenty-five tons of distilled water ice day, in addition to operating four refrigerating rooms, which can be kept constantly at freezing temperature
 Other new structures are the Sidow < Elder building, on South Broad street, op- posite the passenger depot, the new apart ment house of Nora Hall, on East Mes quite street, and the new fire house, to- gether with numerous smaller structures which go to improve the city generally.

years in the history of this, the most thriving mining city in the territory.
 In every line, during the past year, business has prospered. The growth of the city has been little short of remark able In the way of improvements, it has surpassed every other city in the terri tory.
 In bidding farewell to the old year, the people of Globe do so without a single re gret, as far as the business, improvement and prosperity of this city is concerned Globe is rapidly becoming the metropolis of the territory. It has had a hard fight for conditions for the growth of a city here are not nearly so favorable as are those which surround other territorial cities. The year which has just ended has been notable in the growth of this city and with the prospects which this city faces for the coming year are so unusually bright that optimism reigns supreme within the con fines of not only Globe, but the Globe dis tritt as well.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

One of the most important improve ments to this district, which has been made during the past year, is the con- struction of the new Miami extension of the Gila Valley railway, which has been in service for several months, and the con- struction of the Arizona Commercial Cop per company's extension to Copper Hill, which is now under way
 The new Miami line has already opened up large area of mining country and is fast developing the entire Miami district and building up the new town bearing the same name.
 The Copper Hill line will open up that district as the Miami extension has open ed up Miami. This road will be complet- ed within the next two months and when this work is finished, Copper Hill will be in direct communication by rail with the outside world, feature which will mean much to the residents of that district, as well as to. the Arizona Commercial and other mining companies in that region.
 The Gila Valley railway in this city has made important improvements. The To- cal yards have been enlarged, filled, grad ed and generally improved, and in addi- ton numerous additions have been made to the shops.
 In the yards, new main line of eighty pound rails has been run from the south yard to the passenger depot, and in addi- ton, nearly dozen new sidings have been put in place, by which the capacity of the yard has been more than trebled.
 In additions to the shops, an engine shed, a lumber shed, a fue shop, com modious lavatory and locker room, steel sheds, scrap bins and other new adjmcts have been constructed within the past year. Two.new locomotives and much ad- ditional rolling stock has also been ac- quired during the year.
 The Consolidated Telephone company is now actively engaged in installing a new and up to date switchboard, with the intention of remodeling local telephone service throughout.
 When this work is completed, the ser vice will be improved in every way, the old hand-rlnglng phones will be dispensed with and thoroughly metropolitan ser vice given to the people of this city.
 During the year long distance telephone connections have been made with Tucson, enabling the people of this city to converse with all parts of the territory.
 The Western Union Telegraph company has built new line to Miami and is now stringing an additional line of wire be- tween Globe and Bowie, to handle the vast increase in business.

pletion, on the rear of the city hall lot. This building will house the new fire en- zine and furnish sleeping quarters for several members of the department, as we'll as furnishing an office and supply rooms for the city water department.

BETTER FREIGHT RATES

While not generally classed as an i'm provement, the granting of reduced freight rates over the Gila Valley line is a matter which has proved to be of much importance to Globe and the Globe dis trict
 By this freight rate reduction, secured through the efforts of the territorial rail way commission and the Globe chamber of commerce, cut in rates running from 15 to over 30 per cent, was secured few months ago.
 On the two principal class commodities brought into this city, the reduction aver ages 30 per cent. In other classes, the re- duction is not so great, but on the whole, the cut in freight tariffs has already shown itself to be of benefit to the people of this district
 A cut in freight rates throughout the territory generally went into effect this morning As this rate reduction, which corresponds to that granted over the Gila Valley line, extends from Yuma to El Paso on the Southern Pacific main line, it will mean material saving to the entire territory as well as to the people of Globe.
