dred feet a compact, 7.foot vein wiFh clay parsings, such as 6ssuae veins alone display.
 Another and much smaller aggfc- gation of veins in our mineral bell have 5 general course of from 70 lc % degrees east af north and west Of south. The vein-sysEe5n here Is very simple, but lntrinsicslly t is most ] important part of shr dstrics. II conslRls in Lac main of one master vein. seventy- five to one Hun1rsd aud twenty feet wide. extending through McIlllen southerly toward the town of Globe. At several points 1t ap pears as tHo strong veins several hundred feet apart. but tte one is al- ways stronger than the other. As other places, as at the Sherman mine the Oat-crop is split up into several vesns, che side ones, however, al- ways showing when traced some dis tance that they are only loops or in- cidental Ofshoots of the great main lode. The Stonewail Jackson mine with the Hannibal on tue north and the General Lee on the south are the representatives of this great central ore channel. It is claimed that the Imperial, the Chromo. and the Sher- man mines, i've miles southerly of the Stonewall Jackson, are on che same Assure. While the out crop oA the northerly sIoDe of the Apache range has not been exposed so con- tianously as would be necessary to absolute proof Of the validity of this clam, there IS , strong probability from the great vein being found still farther to the soath that these miaes are really upon it, CT quite near to 1t, and the similarity of the ores goes far toward confirming this impress sion.
 4 corresponding series of veins to ] this central belt extends from Pinal creek, at a point some three or fonr miles norrherly of Globe. the east erly side being abeut 8 mile west of the Miami mine The Silver Belle, or Keutuck, claim is somewhat to the northwest of she center of this series. The length Of these particular veins along their strike is little over two mites, when the easgerly and westerly belt. with the Blue Bird lode on it's southerly side, seems to cut 1t of h this short distance several very strong, promising lodes of low grade ores are seen, but on toward the northwest the veins burst out into numerous spurs that are too small to be prodtably worked.
 The only remaining vein-system of Globe District is an easterly and westerly one. It begins, as We have indicated, at tue Blue Bird mlne and if measured across IT. the direction of the Cox & Coplin mines would be found about two miles wide. It's length along the strike of the veins cannot yet be fully determined. but 1t Is probably from two o three miles Tae Mexican anu the Richmond Ba- sin mines are included in this dis- tinctiye belt but there is some evl- dence that where the McMorris mine IS located several eas1erly and west- erly veins connect wiFh q northeast erly and southwesterIy lode, a point that can only be proved concluslycly however by extensive developments.
 The vein system then of the Globe mineral belt consists of one Inxstcr lode, passing with but little deYla- tion for twenty mics through syen- ite formation. X short iisIance southeast of Ramboz camp this great lode intersects tue northeasterly and southwesterly belt, and Is then trace able on defected course for several miles along it's southerly trcud 4 map representing the belt as above described would appear something like a mans spinaI column Wsth she ribs represented by the northeasserly and souIhwesterly veins. only they would not be quite st right angles to Ihe column. On the westerly side, at about is center be ween ends, the easgerlY and westerly bell woel3 be sccu, but none of it's Yeihs woula be fVund on the ezsgsrIs side qf the great lode.
