7ovFFPS in conner mining laid the foundation for the
greatness of Arizona and the younger generation Is
building the structure itself. The foundation was
sound and the building viii be all the greater because OF l.
The pioneer miners Of Bisbee did more than open "
what were become among the greatest copper MINES =
the world They gave instruction N InOIOueH
their pupils have made Bisbee many times greater than inc
oDeers believed possible and, in addition to that are
making Globe and Miami among the big copper plOuu'
IF tbe continent and Ajo great mine and big town As

visiting Miami few days ago. theNold tuners nave Pss

when the district was opened up are making II ss

Bsbeeites now in the Miami district are Sas1er haIlng
ton lack Kenney and Martin Krstovich- There are many
others They got their instruction in the very ne ana
erv practical school Of mining Bsbee most OF It UNDER
ground and they benehtng the state ana henl
selves by applying the principles IN which they were wen
Bisbee itself IS similarly being managed by the younger
generation from the top Of the PhelpsDodge company oon
10 the sons Of miners and old Prof James Douglas grand
ancestor Of the district knows they have done wonders,
both the officials and the under them Twenty years
ago when the Spray shaft sunk 1t was believed about
useful area IN the warren olslIlCl lau D9e
covered and the Spray shaft viewed more OF less as
hazard chance barely worth while because It did not cost
too money and might uncover something away OFT d
one edge beyond the district Today the district has grown
out three miles beyond the Spray. More and more ore mas
been found there IS not man IN Bsbee TO-DAY VINO
would venture fiat assertion that all the WOILn Nhie
ore IN the district had been opened up to mining operations
Never IN the history Of Bsbee has there been so much
mining activity as the present tme that Industrial
peace has been restored in the district The Copper Queen
company seems to have renewed its youth and IS dong
more development work than before The Calumet
and Arizona similarly enargng its facilities and Its PIo
ductive possibilities The DennArizona Is working again
after long period Of dleness Down toward the flats,
ont of the mountains the Whiteailed Deer being op
Grated South Of the Calumet and Arzonas Junction shaft
toward BakersviIe shaft is being sunk and just
above the water tanks Of Warren the old Calumet
shaft Is being reopened It IS the intention 70 sink this shaft
not less than 1000 feet.
Sacramento HILL the property Of the Copper Queen is
being stripped for steam shovel mining Of low grade ore
to be treated by concentration Diamond drill explorations
have shown the old landmark be solid mountain Of low
grade copper great fortune in itself In the years to
come visitors and residents in Bisbee viii this mountain
torn down and fed through concentrator Such things
not done 20 years ago It IS Of the evidences that
the school boys of old Bsbee have enlarged upon the in
struction OF the pioneers.
The former Bisbeetes and all the other mining men who
started in 10 2 years ago to make something out Of
Miami achieved there wonderful as that
of Bsbee The place has grown from nothing at all TO
1900 OF 5000 population, developing and supported by
some Of the very largest mines in the country
It Is stated good authority that the Miami selter
handles as much both Douglas shelters combined
Its production nearly equal that Of the Utah Copper
company L is only question Of time and settled labor
conditions until Mams production leads the state and
