The Globe District sRich Silver Ore Resources

are probably half a dozen other sill
yer properties equally as good as the
Buckeye, were they reopened and in
diligently explored.
Globes silver mines did not cease
operation because the ore was ex-
hausted, but because the severe de-
cline in the value of silver and the
isolation of the district and high cost
of supplies and transportation dis
couTaged further development; and
when the extent and value of the cop
per deposits in the district com
menced to be realized silver mining
fell still further into disrepute, and
the glory of that earlier period and
the wealth of silver taken practical
ly from under the grass roots, was
forgotten except by a few pioneers in
the district. The columns Of the Sill
yer Belt during those palmy days
were filled amost every week with
stories of silver strikes of almost
fabulous richness and Of valuable
shipments Of the white metal. Claims
that could not boast even a ten-foot
prospect hole, sold for five figures,
mills were erected in many parts Of
the district on properties on which
not a ton Of ore had been developed,
and speculation ran riot.
Three or four million dollars is
probably a conservative estimate Of
the value of the silver produced by
the mines of the district within a
period of six or seven years, and per
haps an equal amount was lost
through ignorance of mining methods,
the purchase Of worthless claims and
the erection Of costly reduction
plants, some of which never turned a
wheel Thus there we're many con
tributory causes for the abandonment
of silver mining here.
The fact cannot be gainsayed, how
ever. that some Of the richest silver
mines in the west were discovered
and operated for a time in Globe dis
trict; and none Of these mines were
worked out, but were abandoned for
various reasons here enumerated.
Since that early period there has
been a very. great advance made in
mining and metallurgy, and parti-
cuIarly in the processes and methods
for reducing the ores and saving the
values. There is no doubt but that
there are several mines in this dis
trict that we're good producers Of
silver in the EOS which could be re
opened and made to pay handsomely,
and we believe that it is only a ques-
ton OF a short time when capital and
brains viii be provided TO rehabilate
the silver mining industry N oar

former workings. It's exact location
even passed out Of the mind OF The
present owner of the property, M.
20. 7. Webster, who is not a mining
man.
Recently Mr.. Webster decided that
something should be done with the
property and 50 he disposed Of a half
interest in ii TO Colonel James A.
Fleming. Colonel Fleming sent Engi-
neers Bottsford and Osborn to the
property and now, after careful inves-
LEGATIONS, these men located the por-
tai of the tunnel and succeeded in re-
moving the earth and rock that had
hidden it from view for these many
years.
Yesterday Colonel Fleming. Mr. os-
born and John Champion, who had
been employed in the mine in the
early days and is familiar with the
workings. went To the property and
explored the tunnel for $50 feet and
one VIM to the depth of thirty feet
locating the vein and finding good
ore in both openings. There were two
or three other wines that were con
sidered too dangerous to enter but
their investigations, as far as made,
convinced them that there was sulfi-
cient ore in the mine that could be
readily followed to justify further de-
velopment.
For several week. the owners have
had ore sorters employed sorting the
old dumps and have thus far recov-
cred about carload of ore running
sixty ounces or more in silver to the
ton. One specimen taken from the
dump by Engineer Osborn is covered
with horn silver and viii assay prob
ably several thousand dollars TO the
ton.
after they had explored the work
ings the party sat down and ate their
lunch in the tunnel which was per-
fectly dry with, walls everywhere in
tact and air pure.
IL is the intention OF the owners 10
begin work with small force at once
TO develop the property further. A
shipment Of the ore taken from the
dump will be made in the near future.
The Champion was only one of
many silver mines here that gave
Globe its early renown as one OF the
richest silver districts in Arizona. II
is hoped that the re-discovery Of the
Champion will lead TO the re-opening
of other silver properties that were
producers in the late seventies and
early eighties.

REPoRr oE YEARS WORK

The Southwestern Miami Develop
ment company has issued, by IFS
president George f. Ruez, its frs
annual report for the year 19l
which is a comprehensive review o.
operations.
The property being developed by
the company comprises four groups
of claims, title to one of which is
vested in the company, and the other
groups are held under options and
situated adjacent TO the town Of Nj
ami and the Live Oak property Of the
Inspiration Consolidated Copper com
pany. Payments made on options az
gregate $65,944.40, and the cash on
hand December 81, 1912, was $751;
9221S
The work of exploring the property
was carried on with churn drills I'M
der the direction of F. w. Hoar gen
eraI manager, and there was drilled
during the year 1890 feet. The
greater part of this drilling has been
done on the claims adjoining the
Live Oak Five OF the seven holes
drilled on these claims show the eX-
tension of the Live Oak ore body in
ground. Development with churn
drills will be continued until a hole
has been drilled on the corner oil
each 200 foot square.
Based on records of drilling to dale
of the report General Manager Ho1r
estimates that approximately 100000
tons of proven and probable ore, con-
sidered of a commercial grade in the
Miami district. have been developed.
On a Is cent metal market it is est

JOHN M'VAY SLOWLY
 REGAINING HEALTH
Once Condemned FelOn Soon Will Be
 Taken to State Penitentiary.

Little Rock, July 26.-That Johr McVay, who escaped death by hanging last March when Governor Joe T Robinson commuted his sentence to life Imprisonment, and who since has lain on a cot at the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, suffering from a pronounced attack of collapse de- lirium" will in time recover, is the opinion of Dr. J. l.. Greene, superin- tendent of the hospital.
 When Dr. Greene was called to Pine Bluff last spring to examine McVay, as the date for his hanging approach ed, he made the statement that should the doomed man live two weeks longer his recovery would be assured. This statement, together with the pitiable condition of McVay, moved the gover- nor to commute the murders senten- ce to life Imprisonment in the state penitentiary, after numerous delays of the legal death were caused through appeals to the Supreme Court the governor, and the sheriff of Je:fer- son county.
 Since his escape from the gallows McVay has been ward of the state hos spital He was taken there or a cot unconscious and for. many days re- mained in stupor. Reports of the physician who attended him show that he lay awake at nights looking blank ly into space and that it was neces- sary to administer medicine to make him sleep. After one or two doses McVay slept each night.
 From this condition the patient be- gan slowly to show improvement. His periods of stupor shortened and after a time he gained partial control of his faculties. At present he is able to un derstand statements made him, but is unable to give logical answers to questions.
 Asked if he thought McVay's im- provement sufficient to be termed marked Dr. Greene yesterday said, No; not so much as that, but he is better than when he came here.'
 Through the methods of the hospital in feeding patients at least twice a day. even though they will not eat the food proffered them, McVay has gain ed in weight.
 He will be taken to the penitentiary to serve his life sentence when his condition is improved sufficiently to warrant his release from the hospital

Union Hill, N. J., July 25.-Mrs. Mary Hoppel, who has taken up spir- itualism since the death of her hus- band in an automobile accident a year ago, invited all her friends to attend spirit seance" in her home last night.

With them stood min ister,. who performed wedding cere- mony before the astonished guests re- alized what was happening.
 "A spirit came to me-" explained Mrs. Hoppel, "and it ordered me to seek out Frederick Bruefcher and marry him. I knew him years ago, but I had lost track of him., Within three days after she had found him, she said, the Y desired proposal was made. s"It is spiritual wedding," she added, ''and is not to be judged by earthly unions.'

ENGLAND DEPLORE SALE
 OF BURNS MANUSCRIPT

London, July 25.-The sale of the Glen Riddell manuscripts of Robert Burns has aroused protest against the Liverpool Athenaeum which authoriz- ed the sale. The manuscripts were sold to LnCdon dealer at price said to be not less than 25,0O0, and the re- port that the dealer was acting in be- half of 2n unnamed American million- aire has prompted widespread outcry against the loss of the manuscripts. It is recalled that in 1902 the Athen- aeum received an offer of $25,OOO for the manuscripts from J., P. Morgan. but refused it.
 Lord Roseberry has declared the transaction to be incredible and de- plorable." Dr. William Wallace. one of the most noted authorities on Burns, declared that the British local bodies should retain such treasures at all costs. Much indignation is ex- pressed in Scotland
 The manuscripts, which Burns pre- sented to Robert Riddell of Glen Rid dell, in token of hospitality shown him. eventually passed to Dr. Curries of Liverpool whose family presented them internationally othe Anthem aeum.
