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."
