Ballard Day Of Globe. Aris.. 10 in New
York on his fret visit. Hs says that he
was never in a big city in his life until
he struck New Orleans tho other day
ON his way here. and he il apparently
ia the neiRhbOrhood OF Is. % courss
he had been TO Phoenix aud the other
mstropOlisss Of Arizona. and 20 Han
Antonio. Tex. Int he admits there IL a
difference.
Mr.. Day In a miner by occupation
Until six years ago he had spent much
Of his time ON u Tsxas ranch. and h@ SAYS
that In his boyhood he saw some Wild days
In Texas. when murders aud hanginEs
Were frequent, but he doesn't like to think
Of thOss times He " to-day a resident
Of Globe. and he says II - pretty much
% q place. with some - O0O Inhabitants
and the prospect. IL the southern Pacific
builds that contemplated branch through
the Box Canon Of tho ella to the coal
zelda in Colorado. OF having 700 in
hAbitants within the next FIVE years.
Important business drew Mr.. Day to
New Yorh. but within three minutes after

have caught the next train back home.
but he said he really would have 10 stay
over Tor q few days To aee the town. He
naid yesterday Gt the Wolcott:
-llobe 10 much safer to lIs IN than New

To give the confidence fellows any room
to circulate about in. The had men
of history with hair on their teeth are all
gone and lot Of Eastern men have taken

develop the Territory.
My frat impression 81 New YORK
Would that interest anybody Well. ]
came up ON the train from New Orleans
with a man who has a country place over
ON Long Island. and We got ~ well ac-
auainted that when Ne arrived, about
. O'Clock Yesterday afternoon he insisted
on my going ont and sTI-nding the night
at his house. We came over an the ferry
from the Pennsylvania station end took
= a xicab across the city. Well, STR. when
I saw the thousands upon thousands Of
people in every street ] said 20 myself.
How on earth does this mass OF humanity
hveg' Then n impressed me 10 $50 that
throng going and coming, and not n soul
speaking 70 anybody he met 80 far a.
I could see
Why. in my tOwn,I ban walk thirty feet
Then. though IL was Sunday. the rustic
and hustle and jo-tle were very interest
ing. However,. l felt just a. much ~ my
ease a. in my own house. l have ex
perienced no symptoms a. vet of being
buncoed. as have been told lots ~ ~~si
ern fellows have been here. aud think
that in an emergency could find my
way about.
MY first glimpse Of the tall buildings
vas from the feTryboat and II Vas really
becAuse they didn show
up nearly az tall a. I thought they would.
II vas only when ] got near enough to
get a crick in my neck when I looked up
that ] realized they were 80 high ~

walked through some Of the hotels On Our
way 10 a music hall az course ! had
never before "a NV life seen much
wealth ia evidence. ! vent back ~ Long
