,, EDITOR CITIZEN N:-SOme one sai
 See Rome and die," but my advic " would be to see the Globe district bC ~ tore Shaking of &c" It Is truly
 :- grand sight. I have lately spent
 week in that wonderful region, feas ;. ing my eyes upon huge piles of ricl s ore, looking down deep glisteninI !. shafts and along intermInable ledge , of the rich metal, and I hesitate no
 to say that it is the grandest sight in tn
 mineral line that I have ever seen : The Chilson Brothers, at Richmond Basin, are sacking a thousand dollars T day. Their ore is immensely rich
 almost ready for the eagle when i
 comes from the ground. Ther claim is estimated to be worth millions. Ii ,l is not a regular ledge like most silver mines. but rich ore is found all through the ground from surface to bedrock
 This they assort, shipping the richest
 to San Francisco and leaving the re
 mainder to await the operation of local
 mills. Near their location is the mine
 of John Alvany, a huge ledge of very
 rich ore, which is undoubtedly an ln-
 dependent fortune to its owner. MT.
 Alvany gave me a very pretty speci-
 men from his mine, which is almost pure silver. The mine of Mack Morris & ] O., near Alvany's, is said to be one of the richest n the district, they have a considerable quantity of ore on the
 dump awaiting the completion of the
 mills at Globe City These mills will probably be running within 30 days One is a five and the other a two stamp
 mill. There Is a wagon road from the
 Basin to Globe City, and the ore can
 be transported without difficulty. Dave
 Beardsley has some good mines six or seven miles northeast of Richmond
 Basin, near Burns Camp. He has a
 fifty foot shaft sunk on the Lazy
 Bob," and is down about the same
 distance on the Cromo. Both increase
 in richness as they are developed
 Dave undoubtedly "h has the world by
 the tail" Burns, Griffin & Webb and
 many others have very rich mines in the same vicinity. Griffin & Webb have an arastra and reduce their ore by a process of their own. Mr Webb | has very fine cabinet which he has collected in the district and elsewhere. 1 We found him confined to his bed with . fever. He had been down for six weeks, | but was improving. At Globe City We met Mr. C. VI. Gerrish who is erect Ing smeltlng works on Pinal Creek, i near the city. They are to be called
 the Gerrish Smelling Works, and are
 to be run by water power Mr. Gerrish has bought copper mine, and thinks
 hat he can make a success of copper operating. The cost of preparing the
 copper for shipment he estimates at ,nly $50 per ton, the ore being a pure . ed oxide of copper. The Briggs Con- oany are near Phenix now with a six tamp quartz mill which they will rect in the vicinity of these smelling works. It will also be run by water power. This mill will be about eight niles from the Richmond Basin, ani .asy of access from nearly all Of the hines in the district. Globe City is rowing very rapidly and Is a very lively place. Three saloons and as many stores are already in operation. t, several foundations are started, and s the owners of lots have 10 build on , hem within 30 days to hold them sev- ral buildings will be completed with { n few weeks.
