Arizona state fair and even in COMPETE
ton with other states at interstate ex-
positions. The butter stock and the
fine horses of this valley are all of
the blue ribbon kind and the ella val
ley can boast more 'firStS" for its
cattle, horses and hogs than any other
community in the southwest
The Stop at Pima.
Only half an hour is allotted to Pima
by the eXcursiOniSts and this will be
and shaking hands. Pima is located
at the upper end of the valley, but is
surrounded by farms of type similar
to those about Stafford and Thatcher.
1t supplies many farmers and is also
the supply point for ranchers from a
great distance, as there are many of
these large cattle concerns in the
mountain country north, east and west
of the town.
Pima. Stafford and Thatcher all boast
good public schools and public utility
services. Stafford, in order to get an
adequate supply of pure water, plped
mountains. Telephones connect all these
valley towns
No Use for Jail.
The people are law abiding through
out the valley and assert with much
pride, though without boasting, that
the one thing Graham county has no
use for is the jail, down at Solomon
vile. The county has no jailer and
the whereabouts of the calaboOse key.
The door stands open always.
Leaving Pima at 1923, the excursion
lists viii make the run through Fort
Thomas and intervening points with
out stop and reach Globe at 1:45 in
the afternoon But a short stop will
be made th0Te at that time. and the
train will continue on to Miami, the
newest copper camp of importance in
the state. The afternoon will be spent
in Miami and the return will be made
to Globe for the evening.
Miami, the Copper Wonder.
Miami is always an interesting point
for the Ell PasO visitor. A typical min
ing town, it has more available level
space for town building than most
towns strictly mining in character. Lit
tie more than three years old, Miami
is now a city of several thousand pop
ulatiOn and it promises in the next few
years to have the biggest copper out
put in the state. The town is not Of
the mushroom order, but its buildings
are mostly of a substantial character.
Reinforced concrete is much in evil
dence. Banks, hotels, stores with large
stocks, an opera house, picture shows
and various amusement resorts give
it the cosmopolitan character and rob
life of any monOtony that might other
wise exist.
The Miami Copper company employs
several hundred men in its mines, con-
centratOr and power plant and is at
present the largest employer of labor
in the camp, but the Inspiration Con-
solidated and numerous other mining
concerns are carrying forward their
work of DEVELOPMENT and construction
as fast as possible and in the next few
months the Inspirations big concen-
traitor, fullS as large as the Miami mill
OF five sections, will be in operation
and there is a general belief that
shelter will also be erected
The Inspiration Work.
The Arizona Eastern railroad has eN-
tended its tracks past the town proper
to the Inspiration mines, which include
the properties of the former Live Oak
company, and this concern is spending
thousands of dollars each month in pre-
pairing its properties for active oper-
alton.
Surrounded on all sides by rich mines
and promising prospects. no mining
camp in the country has brighter out
lock than Miami. Globe. only a few
miles away, is one of the proved copper
camps of the west. and Miami has al
ready gone sufficiently far to prove
that its ores are Just as extensive and
just as rich as those of Globe. Though
situated very close together. the two
towns are not rivals in any sense, as
the immediate ore bearing territory of
each is sufficient to support large
