BY THE BISBEE {ROUTE.
As we swing further around the circle we reach the vast
and valuable mineral sections penetrated by the latest of, El Paso's
railways, the El Paso & Southwestern, generally called the Bisbee
route or the Phelps-Dodge railway. Nacosarri and Cananea in Mexico
Bisbee, Clifton, Globe, Morenci in Arizona, and other camps too
numerous to enumerate, sparkle as jewels of the highest value in
the diadem which this road is placing upon El Paso's brow.
But perhaps the Clifton and Morenci sections are at present
claiming the widest attention, two companies alone producing there
some 40,000,000 pounds of copper last year. Clifton is the northern
terminus of the Arizona & New Mexico railroad, of which Lords-
burg, on the Southern Pacific, is the southern terminus. The two
companies referred to are the Arizona Copper company at Clifton,
and the Detroit Copper company at Morenci.
The plant of the Arizona 'Copper company is located at Clifton,
and its mines are at Longfellow, Metcalf and Coronada, all connected
with the smelter by railroads owned and operated by the company.
The plant has a capacity of 1000 tons a day, while the company employs
about 3200 miners and 3JO smelter men. The Detroit Copper company
has its concentrating rlaiii and smelter at Morenci, and is building the
Morenci Southern road, which in a distance of 18 miles to Guthrie, on
the Arizona & New Mexico road, is one of the finest pieces of engineer-
ing to be found in all the west., The owners of the Detroit Copper com-
pany, Phelps, Dodge & Co., of New York, are owners also of the Copper
Queen at Bisbee, and of the Buffalo at Globe. Other properties in thfese
districts are the Shann-m mines, capitalized at $2,000,000; the Stevens
gioup of 14 claims; the Morenci Copper company, the Arizona Lead com-
pany, the Copper Cenie:* group, the Markeen company's Maine and
Mammoth mines, the Missing Link group, the Great Western properties,
and other properties in Reeky and Hickory gulches and Copper King
mountain.
THB SOUTHERN PACIFC.
Next in the line of progress the Southern Pacific spreads out to
the west and northwest, connecting El Paso with Arizona and Western
New Mexico. This is the most highly developed part of the city's trib-
utary territory if it be not actually the richest. The year 1900 proved
the banner one in Arizona* 3 mineral activity, but the record will doubt-
less be broken during th<S present year, as activity has increased rather
than diminished all' along the line.
From Deming, N. M., "westward, there is scarcely a station on
the, S. P. which is not an ore-shipper. Under such state of case one
knows scarcely where to begin or where to end. The Tres Hermanos,
lead and silver; Separ, copper; Lordsburg, copper, gold and silver;
Stein's Pass and San Simon, lead and silver, are sections well known.
Especially is Lordsburg of local interest, since in that section El Paso-
