NEW COMPANIES WILL
SWELL GLOBE OUTPUT

Here in Globe many big projects are
being carried on at present, and by the
end of the dawning year this camp will
be in position, counting in the proper
ties at Miami, greatly to increase its
output of copper, says the Silver Belt.
The Miami Copper company is erect
ing a 20OO-ton concentrating plant, and
a great deal of the freight handled over
the Miami extension is material and
machinery for this mill. The Arizona
Commercial Copper company has erect
ed a 5OO-ton smelter three miles east of
Globe, and this smelter will soon be
reached by another Gila Valley, Globe
& Northern extension. The grade is
already completed and the track will be
laid by February l.
In Globe itself many new buildings
are going up. The most important of
these is a fine new theater to be called
the Empire. 1t will be completed by
February 1.
Among the properties on which de-
velopment work is being rushed is the
Black Warrior, the new Hoval A.
Smith property, which has put the Co
chise county promoter in the millionaire
class. The Inspiration prople are losing
no time demonstrating the value of
their property 1t is pretty well under
stood that the Cole-Ry interests have
an option on the Miami which will
mean that the property will be num-
bered among those controlled by the
copper combination now being effected.
The entire Globe district is much in
terested in the combination. A number

important being the Old Dominion,

THIEVES TAKE HIGH
GRADE FROM CASES

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 13.-Htgh grade
gold specimens intrinsically worth
$1,000 but as a collection valued at
more than $4,000 have been stolen from
the office of Lotus & Davis, and up TO
the present time the thief has not been
apprehended. The specimens were some
of the rarest ever produced from Sun
nystde mine at Round mountain, and
comprised many of such unusual
structure that it will be impossible to
duplicate them.
This is the second time within three
years that Lotus & Davis have lost
rich collections in a similar manner,
the former occurring when their offices
were back Of the Palace building on
Crook street. The collection Just stolen
was exhibited at the Mineral palace
during mining congress week, and was
one of the finest shown at that time
Investigation leads to the belief that
the office, which is on the third floor
of the News building, was entered with
a pass key, and that in order to give
an impression that the transom was
forced screws were removed from the
rods that control the transom, this
work evidently being done with a
screwdriver from the inside. The
screws were found lying on the floor
inside the Office, near the door.

INSPECT PROPERTIES
IN BOUSE TERRITORY

PHOENIX, Jan. 13.-T. j. Carrigan
and George Otis of Los Angeles are
inspecting development work on the
Otis Twenty, copper and gold bearing
group in the Bouse section.
Mr.. Carrigan says seventy-five men
are now working on the property of
the Consolidation Copper company,
which owns claims adjoining the
Clara. The smelter capacity at the
Clara has been increased from 400 to
800 tons daily, and will be ready TO be
blown in as soon as the railroad is
completed from the A. & c. to Swan
sea. Work is being rushed on that
line, and it is expected to have it COM
pleted by the middle of the month.
From a reliable source Mr.. Carrigan
learned that the contractors on the
extension of the A. & c. expect to
have that line in operation by June 10.
About $50 men were added to the force
about ten days ago, and the track is
being pushed toward Bengal where it
win connect with the main line.
Activity in mining in the A & C.
country is f1attering, and the opera
tions at Swansea promise to establish
a new record in copper production for
central Arizona.

PRESCOTT. Jan. 13.-Activity in the
mining industry in the A. & c. country
has recently taken a new impetus and
investors are coming into the district
on every train.
One of the most important deals con-
summated this season was the sale by
Larry Ryan of his property to n syndi-
cate of El Paso people for $4,000. The
first payment has already been made
and the new purchasers are on the
ground preparing for extensive opera
tions. They bought every foot of lum-
ber in Salome for the purpose of erect
ing the necessary camp buildings, and
as soon as these are competed the work
of sinking a shaft will begin.
The Ryan property is located in the
Granite Wash mountains, in the Vicin
ity of Nicksburg, and is a gold PROPOSE
tion. Larry Ryan, who is one of the
well known prospectors of Arizona, has
owned the claims for years, and has
developed them to such an extent as to
render them attractive as a mining
proposition. They are close to the rail
road, with good road leading thereto.
The FL Paso syndicate is said to have
abundant capital, and it's members are
enthusiastic over their purchase.

Word has been received from W. II.
Sills, who has been in the east for
several weeks, that he has succeeded

Company of Small Capital

The French Gulch Mining company
has been incorporated by Lindbloom
and Soderberg to operate the Milk
maid. AS the company has capitali-
cation of only $4,000, it cannot pos
sibly be considered a stock speculation
enterprise.
The company is preparing to oper-
ate on a more extensive scale. 1t is
now installing IL by II Gardiner air
compressor at a cost of $4,000, and has
purchased a new 10-stamp mill, which
will be set running as soon as men
and money can make it ready.
The mine itself keeps up steady
production of gold. During the last
twenty-six days run with a 4-stamp
mill (stamps of 1000 pounds) $4,000
worth of gold was produced, not count
ing the sulphurets, which will bring
the total up to SIG, $50. The ore milled
plated $62.50 a ton and was taken from
a ledge averaging five feet in width.

Socialists Are outdone

DR.. Wekerle has outdone the Social
lists. His principle in devoting a large
sum of public money to the building of
a model town has been not to reduce
all to the same level of misery, but to
raise the POOR man out of the slough
of despond."
And the cabinet has belied the re-
proach that Hungary is groaning under
the yoke of a caste system by begin
ming it's work of reform on the lowest
grade. The work of leveling has been
initiated, not, as the Socialists would
have it, from above, but from below,
The workman is not told that he must
wait until the "high and mighty have
been brought down to him, but is
shown that he can rise by his own
exertions to their level.
The socialism which is heralded by
Dr. Wekerles experiment is the right
sort of socialism, and not that other
impractical kind which is being
preached in far too many places. II
is founded on sound principles, and
calculated to make the working man
forget his grievances and try to better
himself, instead of decryihg the faults
and foibles-many of them imaginary
Of others.
In Hungary, as in other countries,
there is much talking of reforms, much
railing of labor against capital, but ac-
tion, without which all this talk is idle,
was wanting until DIR. Wekerle made
his first move towards solving one OF
the most serious social problems OF
the day. While others have been busy
haranguing their fellows, telling them
over and over again that they are the
victims of injustice and tyranny, and
so forth, he has put in hand scheme
which will bring immediate benefit to
thousands of people.
He has, in fact, stolen a march on
the leaders of the Socialist party, who
If they had been as ready to do as to
talk, would have long ago anticipated
the action of the caste cabinet which
they are so fond of maligning. The
cost would not have proved barrier
for they could have provided the money
out of the hardly earned savings OF
"poor" comrades. But it has been left
to the leader of the privileged parlia-
ment to make the first start for the
good of his fellows.

AUSTIN is SHORT ON
NEEDED SUPPLIES

The thriving mining camp of
Austin, the southern terminus of
the Nevada Central, is on the verge
of a serious shortage of supplies,
Judging from the reports that reach
here. Several days this week the
stage from Round Mountain has
taken supplies for the northern
camp in Yin response to telephone
orders from there. A similar call
was made upon Manhattan mer-
chants.
The trouble is due to the ram
page which the Reese river has re.
Gently gone on, in consequence OF
which so much of the track OF the
Nevada Central, and so many of its
bridges have been washed out thai
it is said it will take weeks to re
pair the damage-and the work has
not begun yet This is the first time
the river has gone on bust likt
this for twenty-five years.
AS no supplies can be brought il
over the railroad for some time tt
come, it looks as if temporar.
stage line will have to be instituted
with Battle Mountain on the South

This cutoff with its mainten-
ance has cost us s6,000,000, but
has cid for itself by cutting down
the grade. We have no intention
of abandoning it. The report that
it would be abandoned probably
originated in the fact that we are
raising the height of the line, about
mile west of the cutoff, five feet.
We are doing this to avoid high
water. Salt Lake is higher now

This stock has been climbing up

NO WAY TO tell

GOLDFIEID MAN SAYS SNOW is
TOO DEEP TO PERMIT INTEL
LIGENT EXAMINATION.

The Goldfield Tribune of Friday
says: Thomas Wagner, formerly
connected with the Walter Whitmore
company, has returned from quite
an extended trip around the state,
and as. far east as Salt Lake City.
During his jauRt he spent several
days at Twin Falls, the Jumping
off, place for Jarbidge, and got
some pointers on conditions in that
much 'hot-aired" camp. He says
that from the best information he
could get, there is from six to sew
enteen feet Of snow in the district.
No work is being done, and only in
three or four places has there been
any development. There are two
or three holes ten of fifteen feet
deep, and one thirty-five foot shaft
on the original strike.
Mining men who go in there to
make an examination of the district
are unable to study the general for
nation on account of the snow and
when they come out they hesitate
to turn it down or to praise 1T,
because their inspection has been
too limited to form an intelligent
opinion.
