The Fourth at Globe.
OAKvALE, July 5.

IT its rays through the chinks in the rude cabins yesterday and nestled lovingly on ihe eyelids of sleeping beauties. or drove the shadows from the deep fnrrows in the sunburnt faces of hardy miners.
 IL was the Fourth. Globe had made great preparations for it. The outside camps, too. had become enthused. and every trail c"nverging to ihat town was dotted with groups of equesirians upon all manner of sieeds, from the fine American horse 10 ihe meanesi sort of a bronco mule. The local heart beat in unison with national sympaihies. and Ihe occasion is ihe first memorable day in the districts history, and by and bye the oldest inhabiiant will tell the story to an audience of chubby faced youngsters as they stand beside his knee. What would the fathers think if they could see this great land now. an find away Q [ here on its raggede-t edge little handful of men and women in a country that only two years ago was owned by the ApacheS. and within thirty miles m thousands of them, celebrating an event that had been consumaled by their blood.
 A delightful remembrancer of old times. and one of ihe leading features of the celebration WAS the fine display made by the Miami mill people. They had put forth every effort under the leadership Of MT. Jacobs, the Superin tendent, and succeeded admirably. There wa, a long cavalcade of horse. men with lots of the frontier element about them, but as true men as ever rode in suits of mail behind the lion hearted Richard of England. There was large wagon on the rear of which a log cabin stood filled with children, on the front with the driver sat the conventional Uncle Sam, per snnated by MT Gray; in the center a throne and canopy were constructed in which the Goddess of Liberty sat with rows of beautiful white robed children on each side. Mrs ChilsOn tie Gnddess. and her 1e- canning costume, ard modest womanly face, left nothing 10 be desired in the filling of The character. Several em blems made of pure silver were con spicuously placed about the wagon. The eagle was nearly three feet from tip tn tip. The whole of the emblems were made from Miami mine silver, and MT. Jacobs informed me that 2000I ounces had been used. As soon a. the mill people came in sight of the wait ing Globeiies. anvils were fir d and heary welcomes given. A stand had been erected for the speakers and a large arbOr fir the eaters The ex- ercI>es were opened by suitable rr- marks from MT Morehea1, of the Silver Bel, who was President of the day. Juige Swa>ey offered prayer, Mr Goodwin read the Declaration of Independence aud preflced it win a splendid burst of elaquence. Yrur humble servant us Aremas Ward says, spoke piece and E. O. Kennedy delivered an OrariOn full of good thoughts, elegant diction, brilliant sen tences and without single particle If spread eagle clap-irap. Mir. Ken nedy has every reason tO feel proud of his success, and Globe has reason io feel proud of him. The choir did ex cellent work Mrs Townsend who led has I powerful as well as good voice. and she made the welkin ring. Mrs Hise, Mrs. Swasey ani Mrs. Miller, did splendid work too, and as for Messrs. Wilson, Wiles, Salter and Medler who furnished the base, they did we'll loo. Afler the literary per fnrmances were over and the barbacue of the game commenced and afforded much amusement. did not stay 10 the ball, but l dare affirm that the hall room in BelgiumS Cai jlol did not have it's light shine "n iairer women or braver men. During the whole celebration not drunken man was seen on the streets, and all went merry as q marriage bell.
 Enough of that, except to say hat nowhere in all this broad land was the day celebrated with more patriotic fervOr than in Globe.
 They have made au important devel- opment in the Stunewall Jackson, and that will give fresh start 10 mining here and go far to establish lhe per- of our mines. The owners oi the Julius mine, had two tons of second class ore worked from which they got one hundred and thirty-' ne pounds (131 fbs) nf pure silver. There have been no changes of importance in afflir,. but everything Is love Iy, and every one is hopeful.
