faltered, few of whom have survived
pectations.
For many years after copper min
ing and smelling became the principal
industry at Globe operations were car
ried on in a desultory and hating man
ner, and it was not until the railroad
was built into Globe that conditions
changed materially for the better. The
coming of the Phelps Dodge corpora
ton as investors and developers on the
Globe copper belt gave stability to the
industry and discredited the pessi-
mists who entertained the opinion that
Globes future was all in the past.
Phelps, Dodge & Co., with their knowl-
edge of mining and unlimited financial
resources, by the introduction OF mod
ern methods and improved machinery,
| were largely. instrumental in placing
| the local copper industry on pfoii-
| able basis and influencing the invest
ment of capital in the district by other
| large interests.

1t is interesting at this time, when
the Globe Miami district is moving
into the lead among the mining dis
tricts of Arizona in the production of
copper and the value of output of
minerals. to review some of the chief
events in the history of this imme-
date section. and to mark the several
stages in the evolution of the mining
industry here during the period of
forty three years since party of reso-
lutte prospectors entered the district, in
1873, and located the Globe and Globe
Ledge claims, which became the nucleus
of the Old Dominion property.
During the period of active silver
mining, when the copper possibilities
of this district were scarcely dreamed
of, Globe mines were famed for their
rich output of silver and hundreds of
tons of high grade ore were transported
over rough mountain trails and desert
roads to far distant shelters. After
the cream had been skinned and adj
verse silver legislation began to have
it's effect, activity ceased at the point
where great fortunes should have be-
gun to be realized from silver mining,
had conditions been favorable. The
heavy cost of bringing in machinery
and supplies of all kinds, hundreds OF
miles by wagons, and the crude min
ing and milling methods of that time
were unsurmountable handicaps, and
profits were too small to be attractive
TO capital.
That the district survived the many
! discouragements and years of depres-
sion through which it passed was
! largely due to the determined spirits
whose faith in the superior mineral

WONDER CITY RISES IN S YEARS
MILLIONS Of DOLLARS HEAPED
IN BANKS FROM NINE PRODUCT

The town of Miami has enjoyed
remarkable growth during the past six
years. In 1910 there was scarcely any
thing in the way of buildings where
that municipality now stands. 1t was
merely a vacant canyon with hut
here and there, with but very few in
habitants. However, with the coming
of the Miami Copper company with its
gigantic eXpanse of copper production
and its millions invested which meant
employment for hundreds of men, and
the later development of the Inspiration
Copper company, which now is on a
fair road to be one of the states lead
ing producers, Miami has grown to be
a city of 10000 in population and is yet
just passing through the early stage
of its development Here in the short
space of a few years millions of dollars
have been hauled and heaped upon the
hills in the shape of mammoth struc-
lures of iron and steel, filled with ma
chinery to batter the way through por-
phyry walls and wrest from these hills
the hundreds of millions in copper
stored therein. Scarce five years have
passed since the first great producing
mine of the Miami district-the Miami
mine-took its place among the worlds
wealth producers. Since then the In
spiration, greater by far than the Mia
mi, has begun to throw it's thousands
of tons of copper ore daily into the ma
chinery for reduction.
Almost twenty five years ago the
late Col. Pat Donan, then a resident of
Salt Lake City, and noted throughout
the west as an author, wrote 1.-The
greatest mines of earth are yet to be
opened in the Great American West.
Mountains of gold and silver ore, be-
side which all the famed riches of the

SCHOOLS FLOURISH
IN COPPER REGION

There is nothing which indicates
more strikingly and surely the charac-
ter of a community than the interest
shown in education. Nine years ago
Globe had only one ten-room building.
Today it has five. The new high school
recently erected at a cost of $4,000
ranks with the finest in the state.
While it is not the largest by any
means, yet it is sufficiently commodi-
Gus to meet the present requirements

DISTRICT TREASURE
MAGNET Of ARIZONA

treasure chest of precious and
baser metals, the Globe Miami district
has become one of the centers of Ari-
IONA mineral wealth. This development
has approached the size of a boom dur
ing the past war-torn years, for the de-
mand for ores has been so great that in
every part of the state mines have been
re-opened, new prospects developed,
old workings which have been aban-
doned since the crime of '73" have been
worked to capacity and thousands of
tons of minerals shipped out of the
state in exchange for the gold of the
European warning countries.

the envy of the world with their Midas
surprising wealth of solid ducats."
Butt nowhere has there been greater |
work done or greater wealth exposed |
in such few years as here in the Miami |
district, where wonder has followed |
close on workers heels. Despite the
great work done, it can be truly said
that development work in the Miami
district is still in the toddling age of
childhood. For, but a decade ago, the
great Inspiration and Miami mines
looked no more promising than do
many of the undeveloped surrounding
properties today. All about the dis
trict the land is covered by claims held
by prospeetors who lack the capital
necessary to bare to the eyes of the
world the riches that lie below.
1t is yet field for financiers to en-
ter. and, with their ready capital, back
up the rugged prospector who has
blazed the way in the battle for the
earth's hidden riches in this marvel
ously rich region.
In the Miami district there still lie
hidden in the hills riches beside which
the tabled treasures of the Arabian
Nights will some day seem but the
stock in trade of a back street huckster.
Lying there through untold ages they
have sent up through crack and Gre
vice, notices painted in prismatic col
lOrs on the surface rocks, apprising men
on the presence there below of riches
that will some day rush to meet ears
, nest seekers.
Miami High School
One of the busiest places in Miami
just now is the high school site, Miami S
new $500 high school. The rapid adj
vancement of school work in the Miami
district has made the need of such an
institution felt for more than a year,
and last winter the proposition of bond
ing the district for high school build
ing was agitated.
After the matter had been informally
discussed by the people of the district
for several months, Professor j. D. Ell
lott, superintendent of the Miami
schools, took the matter in hand and
personally circulated a petition re-
questng the school trustees to call an
election for the purpose of voting upon
the question of bonding the district fol-
$4,000, with which to purchase site
and erect high school building.
The election was called by the trus-

houses of the gods yet await the enter

pectors and miners, who are destined,
and that ere long, to fire the avarice
and the envy of the world with their
Midas surprising wealth of solid

whole vast system of Rocky Mountains
and Cordilleras is an almost unbroken
ore and mineral bed. Not one ten

As William Polman sat in his private
Office one summer morning the thought
occurred to him that of all his old en-
ployees all but one or two had married.
Most of these men we're now either
branch or departmental managers en-
Joying the benefits of large salaries be-
sides the pro-rata share of profits he
distributed each year to his employees.
They had their automobiles and their
clubs and amused themselves in their
own ways. He was content with his
business and philanthropies. But there
was change soon to come in the life of
William Polman.
One morning in June the big, red
checked credit manager came to the
Merchant Prince with the usual assort-
ment of letters from new and old Gus
toners. Among these was one from
village in Kansas that somehow appealed
strongly to him. 1t read: Dear Mr..

of our old-fashioned mother. 1t floats

other voices may be lost, but the en-
trancing memory of her voice will echo

The testimony of great men in ac-
knowledgement of boundless debts they

stretching from the dawn of history to

who do not owe their greatness to
mothers love and inspiration. How
often we hear people in every walk of

Previous to this great worlds struggle,
we all looked forward to be home if
possible with our mothers, especially on
Thanksgiving Day, one of the most
holy, as we'll as the most happy days of
the year.
With the mothers busily engaged in
making preparations for Thanksgiving,
every moment. every sparkle in her
eyes are for her loved ones, whom she
expects to be at the family reunion on
that glorious day. Many of us will not
be home for this Thanksgiving, but
every one of us will have burning de-
sire in our hearts to be home with our
dear old mother. 1t is true we will not
be able to be with our mother on Thanks
giving Day, but we all Can offer bless

be it in prison or in palace. foreign

Thank God, some of us have, and
others have had, an old fashioned moth

women, truer citizens. The greatest
heroine in the world is the mother. No
one else makes such sacrifices, or endures
anything like the suffering that she un-
complainingly endures for her children.
This is heroism, to see all the dreams
of girlhood fade away, nearly every
thing of value 60 out of her life, and
yet to bear up under it all with sublime
courage and heavenly patience, suberb
dignity, wonderful mental poise and
optimism.
If this is not heroism, there is none on
this earth. What is the giving of ones
life in battle, or in a wreck at sea to
save another in comparison with the
perpetual sacrifice of living death last
ing for half century or more9 How
the worlds heroes dwindle in compari-
son with the mother heroine! Who but
a mother would make such sacrifices,
drain her very blood, all her energy,
everything, for her children, and yet
never ask for or expect compensation
There is not one in the average family,
the value of whose services begin to
compare with those of the mother, and
yet there is no one who is more gener-
ally neglected or taken advantage of.
There are many men who owe their
success in life to their mothers, who
have become prosperous and influential,
because of the splendid training by their
mother, and whose education was se-
cured at an inestimable cost to her.
