Our letter from the Globe district,
written from Ramboz camp on May /,
says: Nothing particularly new has oc-
Cured here since my last; less pros
pectiug and more solid work in the
way of developing leads already locat-
ed. seem 10 be the order Of the day.
The Rescue shaft Is progressing finely
and looking better than ever. The
Pinal is now down thirty-five feet, and
a contract has been made during the
past week for fifty feet more. This
mine has carried a very rich vein Of
ore from the surface. The Champion
company viii soon be at work with
their rasuas, which are nearly finished,
and they have enough ore already ex-
posed and on their dump to keep them
busy a long time The Meteor com
psny's shaft measured ninety feet last
Saturday, and the ore vein constantly
widening and looking remarkably well
The Alice company have struck coarse
gold in their shaft and are driving
business harder than ever. The Rich
mond company have not done much
lately; they are waiting for machinery
and tools, which the owners have now.

The Sherman Is looking as we'll as

Of a new town started on Pinal creek :;
they have a new store with a new and
good stock of goods, a butcher and
baker shops and other Injuries in that
part of the district, which we have.
been strangers to. Two new
outlets from our camp, one to Florence.
the other to Phenix, are being survey

quisite amount for building each has
been subscribed already. We hope

eral valuable ranches have been taken
up on Pinal creek, at point known
as the wheat fields, and quite fifty
acres have been planted this season.
The crops are now growing finely and

kind in abundance. The ground is!
cultivated without the trouble and ex-
pense of irrigation, which advantage
very few can boast of in Arizona.
Information reached Florence on
the 14th, that they had just struck very
rich ore in the bottom of the Rescue
shaft. This news made the owners
happy. No more detailed information
has as yet come to US IN the matter.

asst July, I haYe travelled through
Sonora, California and Nevada. Il
have kept my eyes open and what l
wish to say is this; Arizona is a bet

Use If the mines in Arizona were
worked as are those in Nevada, thew
would prove the bestin the world. Ny.
