GLOBE DISTRICT, May IF, 1878.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: - Believing that most of the readers of THE CITIZEN are interested directly or indirectly in the prospects and developments of every section, and more especially the rich mining districts, as the future prosperity of the entire Territory, real ly hangs on her mineral resources, therefore I will furnish you few items of general news which I have at hand, and which I hope will prove interesting to some of the readers of your sterling paper.
 The weather is very warm, the ther- mometer is standing at eighty, at sun rise. We had considerable rain last month and the grass is growing rapid ly, and all loose stock look well. The general health is good, and the mining outlook is improving daily, develop ments believe are generally satisfac- tory. The Silver Era and Etna mines on the quartzite ledge, the property of Messrs. Milner & Watson, continue to look well; especially the former They have the main shaft down over thirty feet, and have two and a half feet of excellent ore that will yield just as taken out without any assort- ing, $500 per ton. Besides this, they have struck another ore body about 300 feet west from the main shaft; theI vein here is about eight inches wide, and the ore is free chloride and worth 8 thousand dollars per ton. On the Etna they are down fOrty-six feet and have vein which is only few inches wide and is yielding some ore. The thirteen tons of ore worked from the above named mines at McMillen's, by Tidwell, averaged oyer five hun. dred dollars per ton, and they have now about 200 sacks of ore ready for shipment to the mill, and counting on nothing only what is in sight they have hansome little fortune between them. MT. Milner is an old pioneer he has been a resident of Arizona for several years, and the larger portion of his time he mined near Antelope Peak in Yavapai county. MT. Watson is 8 new conner he came here from the State of Maine about two years ago. He is honorable and deserving, as also is Mir. Milner.
 On the Julian mine, owned by Messrs. Buck & Hayes, they have a shaft down about forty feet in splendid ore, the vein is about three feet wide, some of the ore assays S13,0OO per ton, and will no doubt average over 5000 per ton just as il comes from the mine. This mine is located about half mile south from the Era and Etna on the quartzite mountain. They have out from fifteen to twenty tons good ore some of which will run from five toI six thousand dollars per ton, and talk ing the ore in sight in the mine, and that which is out they have a niceI little stake of fifty or sixty thousand dollars each. They are also taking out some rich ore from the McNellyI mine, located directly between thel Era and Julian, and owned by Messrs. Whalen, McNelly and others, and bids fare to rival either of the others in both extent and richness. The Noun tain View owned by Dr. L. J. Wilson and J. H. Gibbons, and joining the McNelly is a promising prospect OnI the west extension of the last men, toned mine, is located the Silver Prince and Fan by Marco Bojeuck. The latter is yielding fearful rich ore some of which is worth five or six dollars per pound He has just had three tons worked by he Miami mill, but has not received the returns yet, sol I can not give the result The vein isl
