GLOBE, Ariz.. Sept. 6.-When adj
justment of the labor supply is again
reached in the Globe Miami district.
there promises to develop one Of the
most extraordinary periods of activity
ever Witnessed in \ western mining
region.
Globe was originally a silver camp.
Its copper values developed with
depth, and are continuing to gl3w in
both extern and richness as greater
depth is attained. But tier are MANY
outlying properties in the Clobe-Mia-
mi area upon which mirinS and 6e-
veloping ceased when silver fell AMI
which have not sils received invest
ment for further opera ion or develop
ment. These properties are now COM
ing into the limelight and getting in
yestigation.
The strong advance of silver and
the opinion of metal value experts
that it will go higher. even though
there may be Temporary setback to
price because of such operations as
the recent British embargo placed up
on shipments to India. extends the
broadcast of encouragement TO atten-
ton to silver zones in Arizona. Of
which there are not a few, but among
which there are none of larger posi-
bilities than those centering about
Globe.
There is the further fact that all
Globe copper ores carry considerable
silver. Greater incentive is therefore
extended for their production In some
of the mines of the distict there are
known bodies of copper ore in which
the silver values predominant and
which have been put aside in years
past for mining when silver should at
tain higher price. In no district in
the state are there larger reserve
bodies of ore of this class. Bisbee ex-
cepted. The Bisbee mines have mill
lions of tons of such metal. the wis
dom of holding which back nom pro-
duction through many years of low
prices for silver is now apparent.
Globe-M Miami district mines are now
all at work. Although the joint strike
of the l. U. NJ NJ & S. W. and the I.
w. w. has nc. been called off. il is no
.onger a factor in the industrial situa-
ton in the district. Federal troops
make il possible for all men to work
who desire to do so. The real trouble
is the scarcity of American labor, 9TH
ar than ,rbicb will NOT ha annlOva1 IL,
the district in the future. 4 great
many Americans left the district just
prior 10 the strike and during its first
few weeks These have found employ
ment elsewhere and not many of them
will Immediately return. Consequent
ly the mines can get back sloyly to
normal forces of operatives. The same
condition prevails in other districts or
the state wherein strike troubles have
prevailed and represents the largest
damage inflicted upon industry by the
strike organizers. II will not be over
come until there is again a supply OF
labor equal to demand, condition that.
in view of the draft, that is not near
at hand.
Old Dominion has more than 200
men. Its mill has been started and
the smelter fires are going. Miami
Copper has about as many men on.
with half of its mill going and the
properly near ready 10 take on the
third shift. Inspiration has four sec
tions of its mill going. Interuationa
Smelter has about finished cleaning
up and will have its fires going very
shortly. Several hundred men. have
been rustling work about the differ
ent properties this week. Those be
ing returned to work are selected very
All of the smelter produc-
ing properties of the district are OPP
Grating and getting out ore.
