THE CITIZEN.
SATURDAY. MARCH Is, 1876
Mining Matters.

A letter from Ramboz camp, Globe
 district, of March 2, says: Excite
 ment has run high during the past
 week throughout this whole district
 owing to the discovery made by John
 Alvaney, on the northeast slope of the
 northwest peak of the Apache noun
 tains, about six miles north of here.
 The vein struck in this discovery is
 looking very well as far as developed,
 and has been named the Richmond.
 The old cry of "on to Richmond" '" has
 been resuscitatedwith vengeance and
 nearly every man around, even to the
 district recorder, had to shut up house
 and leave for the scene of action. Sev-
 eral arrivals from Silver City, Phenix
 and Prescott, within week, have in
 creased our numbers here % two hun
 dred, certainly, and the cry is still they
 come. The shaft of the Rescue IS now
 down thirty-seven feet, and the char
 acter of the formation improves daily
 and is very encouraging. Our Indian
 mail has become an institution, and runs as regularly and promptly as any of Uncle Sam's"
 Joseph Collingwood was in town,
 from Florence, last Saturday, and in
 conversation with him we gleaned theI following items: In it's first shipment tO San Francisco, the Silver King com pany forwarded ten tons of their ore and sold it there for the sum of S12, 2,000 Just think of the richness of the rock 1 There is no estimating, or reckoning" about this; it was taken from the Silver King mine and shipped to San Fran cisco and the company received in ex- change, 12,000 silver trade dollars for it At the time Mir. COllingwood left | Florence the Silver King company had there, thirty tons of their ore at E. N. Fish & Co.'S store, ready for ship ment, and had teams on the way to the mine for thirty more. The company has evidently come to full realiza- ton of what q good thing the owners have got in the King, and leaving bril- liant negotiations for its sale to some future day they have actually settled down in 8 common sense way to re alize some of the wealth in hand. Re gently a man named Dodge, brought from the Champion mine, Tn the Globe district 1900 pounds of ore to Flor ence, and had it worked in the crude furnace of Jennings & Co. The result of it was a mass of silver bullion of the value of $3GOO. Wm. Hope, reputable and efficient assayer, afterwards assaYed the slag of this and found it to contain q remnant of metal, running nine dollars !, to the ton. Here is ore, bearing metal :, at the rate of two dollars pound, and r easily smelted. This information IS obtained from undoubted authority and .; IS perfectly reliable.
 The Bronkow mine, south of Tucson, E $ now managed and worked by Messrs. il DeLong and Jeffords. The shaft Is tc town forty-five feet, and the vein de. d. elOps very finely. Thomas Ewing was howlng us some specimens from this n, laim which compare well with the u magnificent specimens from the Globe n, nd other districts. This latter gentle D nan, in prosecution of his undertaking Q, make respectable showing of Arl- N, ona ores al the Centennial, was expect -, ng the arrival, last evening, of some "; hree hundred pounds of ore samples. in rom va1ous claims, which with others a- ready on hand, he will ship by ex. ress, immediately, so as to overtake bo le previous shipments of samples. at .h an Francesca, whence they will be on ent together to Philadelphia. on
