so often chronieled' the rapid strides
made by that wonderful, magic city,
nesting in the foothills of the great
Pinsl mountains; the city that sprang
into life and being not quite three
years ago in the center Of the second
largest known copper deposit on the
American continent
Now that we are introduced, you are
naturally curious to know more about
Us. WelE When the brakeman shouts

the Southern Pacific tracks to those
Of the Arizona Eastern. At the north

As your train nears its journeys end
and swings into Miamfs valley you
viii see, straight ahead, standing sen
tinel above the natural grandeur Of
the blending of desert and mountains,
the cloud crowned Pinals. Another
turn and the eye is attracted to the
great cement stack Of the Miami Cop
Per company, towering above the busy
hive Of activity at its feet Now you
are at your journeys end
Miami is not mushroom town,
called into being to serve a temporary
a boom town. born Of speculation and
destined to die ere the noise of its
birthday is hushed. Miami was born
Of q great necessi ty-Arizona' i'm
nense copper district must have a cap

Figures That Speak.
And now to give you business men
some figures that speak more con-
vincingly than words and that will
serve to rfTet your attention to the
solid basis upon which the future
prosperity Of Miami rests and thus be
an inducement for the establishment
Of business relations between US as
the result Of your visit to our city.
The Miami copper district is located
on the eastern slope Of the PinaI
mountains in ella county, Arizona The
two largest operators are the Miami
Copper company. controlled by the
Lew1shons, and the Inspiration Con
sohdated Copper company, a branch
OF the Cole-Bryan group. Both the
mines and mills Of these companies are
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-10-12

within a radius Of five miles Of the
center Of the town of Miami About
1900 men are now employed in the
mines and concentration Of the Miami
company. and their cOncentrator has
a capacity Of 5000 tons of ore per
day. This concentratOr has been in
operation for about a year. 1t is
called an "Uptotheminute" mill for the
reason that the company has installed
all the latest and most successful me-
chanical Improvements for treating its
ores in this mill. A trip through this
mechanical wonderland will linger
long in your memory OF the journey
in Arizona.
Another Big Concentration.
The Cole-Ryan people, among the
largest copper operators in the west,
after an exhaustive examination or
this district, acquired large holdings
adjacent TO Miami and have now IN
process Of erection a concentration
with a capacity of 1900 tons per day
to handle their immense output.
and equip this gigantic plant and pre-
pare il for the treating Of ores. six
hundred men are now employed IN the
erection Of this concentration.
To obtain conception Of the ore
foundation upon which these plants,
designed to handle 1880 tons of ore
per day, are built, one must think in
the millions The present value of the
ore block out, that is that the drilling
machines have shown to exist, reaches
the gigantic total Of S360.0O0,000 and
the depth of this magnificent ore body
has not been fathomed.
With these properties in operation
at their full capacity, 100000 viii
be spent annually for labor and sup
plies. To look further into the fu-
ture, during the next 20 years these
companies will expend S1S0,0OO,OOO for
. - 4
a great part OF this sum must OF ne
cessity be spent in Miami and with
this disbursement prosperity and
progress viii go hand in hand.
At this time Miami has a population
Of approximately 1000 people. From
the first it has been a town of homes
Its location is pleasing, its industries
permanent and a high wage scale IS
maintained, thus attracting the high
est class Of labor, especially the fam
lily man. A large number Of homes
are owned By their occupants, whose
earnings are spent in identifying
them and in providing for the com
forts Of their families.
During the first year Of Miami's life
its buildings were of wood. These
temporary buildings are rapidly Civ
ing place to those built of cement
Thus far the building supply has not
been able to meet the needs, though
endeayOring to supply the demand.
With our high class citizenship en-
joying the benefits accruinE from
high wages and the investment Of
earnings at home in providing for
more than a mere existence. we have
a market that should attract the at
tention Of business men and should
prove Of advantage both to the pro-
Queer and consumer.

TUST half way between FL Paso and
Los Angeles IS tie Casa Grande
valley. This valley IS traversed
by the main line Of the Southern Pa
cific railroad, and is in the very. central
portion Of southern Arizona The val
ley consists Of $4,000 acres Of smooth,
rich. irrigabIe land It is one Of the
smoothest bodies OF land in the world
It has a gentle but uniform slope to
wards the west and towards the north
This makes it an exceedingly simple
problem to irrigate the lands OF the
valley with a minimum Of expense and
troubie.
Careful surveys by the United States
geographical survey have shown that
there is sufficient water available in
the ella river to irrgate 100000 acres
Of this land. The san Carlos reser-
vofr site on the ella river has been
also surveyed and pronounced by the
abIest engineers as entirely feasible,
and Of sufficint capacity to store
water for this irrigation.
Besides the vast quantity Of water
available for irrigation in the ella
river. the Casa Grande valley is IN
derlaid throughout much OF its extent
by a subterranean lake OF river This
body Of water is absolutely soft and
pure It lies only from 20 to 80 feet
below the floor Of the valley A num-
Der Of extensive pumping plants have
been installed and are q complete sue
cess. They have shown that the guam
tity of water in this subterranean
stream is ineXhaustiDle. Extensive
preparations are now being made to
install pumping plants to irrigate many
thousands Of acres OF this rick valley

But by Tar the most extensive irri-
gation system IS now being construct
ed by the settlers Of the valley They
have organized the Casa Grande val
" Water Users association, modelled
afr the great successful associations
in valleys where the government has
constructed the irrigation system This
association is capitalized at $4,000, 600
and is divided into 100, 900 shares val
ued at $50 per share. This viii sup
ply one share to each acre Of the 1OO.-
600 which the association purposes to
1rrigate BY the system.
It IS the purpose Of the associa-
ton to construct a vast storage reser-
Toir on the ella river at San Carlos,
and a concrete diversion dam on the
same stream at the upper end Of the
valley, together with a system of up
to date canals and lateraIs. 1t is now

lance from the Imperial valley, where
