JOE DEMPSEY
April 29, 1897
Arizona Silver Belt

Joseph E. Dempsey was in Globe this week after an absence of twelve 
years.  He found the town and people greatly chnaged although 
there are many old-timers here who remembered and greeted him 
cordially.  Dempsey was a partner of Ed Lidolph in the Golden 
Eagle Mine, which they sold about the year 1880 to Fisk, Stout 
and Company. Dempsey was one of the earliest locators in the 
Upper Deer Creek coal fields and still holds claims there 
adjoining the Lillie and Anderson locations.

Recently he has been giving his attention to prospecting rich 
copper claims in Garden Gulch, included within the strip to be 
segregated from the San Carlos Reservaiton.  Nothing can be done 
in the way of developing mines until the strip is opened for 
settlement.
