 work; and upon his report VIII depend whether the mill remains Co crush the ores of Globe, or whether it will be sold and Ee- moved t0 crush the ores of the mines of the Santa Rita Mountains. A satisfactory offer now awaits the report of Mr. B. The 0wn- CTS of ehe mill have very reluctantly come Co the conclusion that the mines in Globe can not furnish ores sufficient to run one ten stamp mill.'
 It is right that tho owners of 8 moveabIs property should know that they have the power ss take 1t from one place to another without the con- heat or interference of persons who bore no part of it's cost, or have any direct interest in it's earnings or the proceeds of its sale. But in some resDects she success or failure of q pioneer quarts mill. in an undevei- opsd mining district, has 2 direct effect on the destinies of that district. and on the fortunes of it's mine owners If the Miami Mill is sold and transported 60 the Santa Rita mountains, che natural inference n the minds of capitalists, uho being at a distance are not properly in- formed on the subject, will be that the Globe mines are 80 Peor that they are incapable of keeping ten stamps in steady work, and thus temporarily, until the truth is known, our mining interests will be appreciated. On the other hand, the Santa Rita mines. by the mere fact of a mill going there, viii get the vague credit of being superior to those of Globe, even if there are not twenty tons of pay ore available in the whOle region. It will not therefore be with supine- ness, or indifference as ts the conse- ouenees upon thelr mining and busi- ness interests, that the local readers of she SILVER BnT will learn from the above extract how soon we may probably be deprived of our present filling facilities, and of the means of exchange by shipments of bullion. Those who know the most in regard to our great mining resources will have the fewsss fears as to any dire calamity overriding us by the pro- posed removal being carried into effect but temporary inconvenience nd sOne loss EilI necessarily ensue.
 It is right And proper that the
 areholders of the Miami Company

 h attempting to give an answer to the inquiry, Ee WilI be compelled to tate some disagrseable facts, which have been impressed on the minds of many of our mining men, in . rough
  and not easily fOrgOttea manner. It
 not requisite that we should go pack in the history of the property beyond 8 few months.
 It is well known to every intelli- gent resident of the district, that the valuable mine supposed to be owned by the company has not been deyel- oped that the mill was built under a costly contract, and has not yet been fully paid for that the selection of a waterlcss and othersise Obiec- tionable mill site has been the cause of a heavy, needless, and yet needful, expenditure and that the general local affairs of the company were for a long tine controlled by men, Kho by lack of practical knowledge of the silver mining and milling business, were wholly united for the responsi- bilities deyolying upon them. Incom- potency ID the management of such eOneerns means useless and blind out lay, and sooner or later the burden rests upon those of the shareholders, who are the most willing and useful of al.
 A site within reasonable distance to the Miami mine, and centrally lo- cated as regards the principal Iodes of the district, could easily have been obtained. In place of that the mill vas erected at one corner eff the nin- erai belt, from five to fifteen miles from many Of the most productive veins, and where 1t had no advantages ih lhe way of na1ural roadways lead ing from them. if mine ovners are
