Housing Problem For Newcomers

Housing Problem For Newcomers
 The matter of taking care of some 300 new men who will come in to fill vacancies existing in the working forces of the district is one that IS receiving much consideration. The new men will be men of families in much larger part than those who have been disposed of. Being Amer jeans they will also require much better accomodations than the for eigners got along with by preference. Miners all over the cOuntry-Amer- ican miners are considering that the Warren district offers more cer- tainty of peaceful conduct and satis- factory employment through a long term of years than any other district in the country and they are prepar- ing to come here to make permanent location. Advice to them is to come without their families and arrange for the latter to join them when they have secured housing facilities. Ways will be quickly found to provide such but in the meantime unnecessary dis comfort will be saved by pursuing the sure course. Another thing to be considered by the man contemplating making his home in the Warren dis strict is that he will have to be able to show that his hands have been clean of 1. w. W. association or sym pathy. Letters of recommendation from responsible persons will be de sirable of carrying.

 GLOBE, Ariz.. July 21-Whiie the smelters of this district are closed down the smaller producing proper ties of the lesser companies and of leasers in this and surrounding dis tricts which have continued opera tions are doing much in keeping oper- ating smelters in other parts of the state going. This is true not only of the smaller operators of mining prop critics here but all over Arizona.
 For many of these small operators the situation is nothing short of a bonanza windfall For more than two years they could edge in with their ore only now and then at the smeIt- CTS because of the fact that the plants were crowded to the limit with the ores of their own mines and those Of concerns for which they were do- ing work under contracts. Ore buyers lodged the small producers. If they shipped it was largely on chance. But since the first of June the ore buy CTS again find them of much in terest and their shipments go through without delay. They are experiencing the novelty, indeed, of pressure for shipments and are getting their ore out with all the speed they can The hay making season is with them. Every indication is that it will last until late in the fall and possibly well through the winter. At the very best it is going to be months before the big producers can get back to normal production and once more work their own plants to. fullest ca pacity on their own ores. There are mining forces to reconstruct, work ings to bring back into efficient pro duction form and an endless amount of small detail to pick up and whip into line before the normal can again De attained. The dropping of d mon key wrench in the mechanism of d big mining organization is a serious matter. Meantime the little fellows are alone in reaping benefits, no oth- CT interests profiting a dollar. How ever, with pressure put upon them and the means thereby afforded them, through smelter returns, to push their development as well as their produc- tion, some of the little ones are put in exceTlent way to make big ones It is an ill wind that blows no good
 Douglass Shelters
 DOUGLAS. AriZ., July 21.-The big , smelters of the Copper Queen and the Calumet and Arizona Mining com panies continue operations here at full capacity
 They have ore bedded for another month of operations at full capacity even though not pound of ore ! should come from the mines at Bis bee. The wisdom of the great ore bedding plants, installed at large cost when the smelters were erected, has had fine demonstration. Meantime ore is coming from the mines in larger quantity every day The ship ments are considerably below the high of the month of May, but are very satisfactory. With the ship ments of varied custom ores which are coming in they are enabling the smelters to keep up the standard mixtures without difficulty in point 1 of holding up reserves to such extent as to remove any likelihood of later embarrassment. The mines can be [ | couple of months in coming back tt ] normal at Bisbee without affecting
