MINING IN ARIZONA DESCRIBED HY A LAURENS M AN. Below is given a letter written to Iiis parents, Mr. and Mrs. J, I\ Sloan, by Mr. Karl W. Sloan, who holds a posi tion of responsibility and trust in a large banking house in the far West, and has an opportunity of seeing many sights almost unknown in this part of the country: "Globe, Arizona, Aug. 3rd, 1908. "Dear Father and Mother: I am one day late in writing this time for the reason that 1 went out yesterday and took in the copper mines from top to bottom. "I will tell you a little about what I saw, but if you are like I was before I saw a big mine it will be right hard for you to understand what a mammoth thing a mine really is. "The 'Old Dominion' mine is about three-fourths of a mile from Globe, just a nice little walk. A friend sug gested that we go over and sec it, so at 0.30 O'clock we went, but we bad to wait until T.IIO until we could get a pass from the night superintendent, and when he gave it to us he also kindly volunteered to show us through himsi If. "We got on an elevator level with the top of the ground and in i lime than it takes to write it we were al a station one thousand feel below the surface. We got off and followed tun nels first one way and Iben another, one of the tunnels wide enough for a narrow gauge railroad running straight out through the bill a distance of a mile or more through rock. All along the route were men at work, stripped to II u waist, digging oul the rieh ore, loadii ? cars and pushing them back 1? the ele vator, where they were hoisted in a twinkling to the top, where ii i i ground into dust and the copper sifted out by numerous proccs 1 "Wo got on the elevator after about an hour hero and were dropped another six hundred feet to the bottom level. Think of that, one thousand six hun dred feet down ill the earth through solid rock almost all the way. "They have three big pump; whose capacity is one thousand five hundred gallons per minute each to pump the water out. They work all the lime. Think of the awful loss of life by drowning if these pumps should give out and refuse to work. The mine is all lit up by electricity, and on every level, one hundred feet, they have ns many engines, etc.. as you would lind in a big cotton milk "There la about one hundred miles of railway track down there. Fresh air is pumped in by machinery. In some places one feels as comfortable as on top but some are awful hot. When we came out there was not a dry thread on us. We took oil' our top shu ts and col lars and put on overall and soft hats to go down. The work goes on all the time, day and night, three shifts work ing eight hours each. It is a great sight to see the men at the lop ready to go down. They superintendent told us they would probably go on down to the four thousand foot level, but al- ! ready they were in reach of ten million 1 dollars worth of copper which will take years to get out and work up. They nave invested now upwards of ten mil lions ot dollars, ao he says, and going deeper and deeper every day. There is a station every one bundl e.I feel where the men get olV to go to their work. One man working on the sixteenth level said he bad rheumatism bad when he went to work lu re but he had sweated it out and is as strong as his side part ner, a mule. "They have mules down there to pull cars about and they havo seen dnyhghl when they go down the last lime.*They never bring them up any more until they are dead. "Way up on top is a little cage where a man sits with his eyes oil the signal boards all the time. He knows how to regulate the electricity and air and wa- | ter pumps by the signal-', from below. If he should make a mistake hundreds might pay for il with their lives. All these people have worked here unti! they seem to think no more about it than you do to get on your horso and ride out around the farm. "Well I will close. With love to al', "I am your son, "KARL W. SLOAN."
