ing accounts of a late strike were ob tained. It is reported on the best Q authority that at depth of 134 feet or the working shafI ledge of ore three feet wide, assaying S67S 8 ton, wa. struck. This ledge was followed fol about forty feet, and winze sunk thirty five feet, all showing the same ledge. One hundred and fifty feet fur ther along the vein, another shaft ont hundred and thirty five feet deep is ap parently in the same metal streak. As suming that the vein is continuous be tween the shafts, and maintains it. character throughout for th.rty-fivt feet in depth, this will give over $1 |, 100000 in sight. Yet the owners are playing with this vast wealth with a whim and blind horsel
 Cox & Copeland, on a new location adjoining the Utah mine, are finding large masses of almost pure silver on the surface that are said to surpass the old Stouewall streak in richness. A piece on exhibition at the store of Shyrock & Hise weighs about ten pounds, and is said to be 840 fine. Rich developments were reported In the Mexican and other mines of the dis trict. In the district there are several mills. The Miami, 10-stamp mill, is situated at the forks of Pinal creek, about six miles from town. The mill would run on custom work but for an unfortunate belief the miners certain ly have regarding its management. In the city itself, the Morrill, & KetchUm mill is idle, as also is the Duryea pat ent, two stamp, steam-hammer mill, built to run in connection with the Champion mine Tidwell and Mich oll's five-stamp mill is running sue cessfully at McMillenYille, on Stone wall ore, and the Haskin company have a new five-stamp mill nearly fin- ished near Globe City. Times in the district are not very lively at present but expectations are great.
 Coming from the district towards Florence, there was more time for q look about at the Silver King and Picket Post. Around the King quite a settlement has sprung up, and from here to Globe all travel is over the Stoneman grade, thus proving that road is not absolutely valueless. Twen- ty men are employed on the Silver King, stoping down the hill on which the outcrop was found, and the ore maintains its richness. Seven teams are engaged in hauling the ore to the mills at Picket Post. The morning we were at the mine, It was reported that King rock had been struck in the North King, at a depth of 11S feet. If this strike is of any magnitude, it will com pletely demolish the theory that the King is merely blowout and will soon make things in Pioneer district boom At
 PICKET POST,
 Six miles down the canyon from the King, the King 10-stamp mill and the '76 five stamp are pounding away. The latter mill has been engaged to work King ore, and then the mine will have fifteen stamps running and the divi- dends be correspondingly increased. There is certainly ore enough on the dumps to keep both mills running a year and half. Picket Post is an ac- live, busy town, pleasantly located and evidently very prosperous. From a quarry near by, whitish sandstone rock is obtained that is so soft when first exposed as to admit of being chopped by an axe into blocks that make handsome and strong building About five miles distant five-stamp mill is running on ore from the Eureka mine.
 The whole country from Florence to Nc Millenville is filling up with busy, industrious people who are fast mak- ing a wealthy and prosperous county. are now ranging through this section continuously. At Globe we met Campbell and Davis, Congress sional aspirants, and each is sanguine of success. Davis addresses the peo- pie of each camp and is evidently many friends. From the talk we could hear about, public opinion seems to be much divided and no can- didate seems to have any decided ma jority of adherents. J. R. F.
