k PLEASURE TRIP.
Fhst Wass nsde by e Phentx FArmer and told by himself - A Look at Globe city.

thriyipgdiae5 town, containing half . dozen stoFess as many hotels and restaurant. and a plentiful number of saloons. It is the principal town of ths Globe district. and does good trade with the miners, farmers and stock men. There are wequartz mills in the pllce, neither of which were in oper ,tion. as they are not adapted to the ores of the di tric,; they had b en shut down for several months. Glob city i situated. on Pinal creek, a distance of about no miles from Phenix and 95 mil ,s from Florence. This place claimed to be in Pinal spunty, but correct survey of the boundry line would, wc think,
 LEAVE IT IN ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
 It is very important that the line between the two counties shoul l br carefully and plainly iblished, ss some very rich mines, which will in the near future yield a large county revenue. have b. en lately dis covered upon the doubtful ground. From Globe city We directed our course toward Pinto creek, and in few hours refined up at the can p of Stevenso.. and R,.iss who have a be- nanza bearing the sweeping tit.e of Boss" They showed up rle mine and lot of very rich ore which tn. y had just extracted, and we Wire easily convinced that the name of their mine was not too suggestive; they are packing their ore OH burros to the Miami mill. At the emp of these gentleman we left our wagon and struck through the hills on horseback, after riding about seven miles ve came to the famous Mack ey mine. which was discovered a few months since by MT. Lawrence, two miles further on we came to the Victor, discovered and lo' ated by Hampton Ellis and others, which is now in litigation in the District court of Maricopa county. Ellis X Go. did considerable work upon the mine previous to being enjoined by other claimants. and took out some very rich ore. Mr. Ellis gave us tome specimens which wrrs certain ly the richest and most elegant specimens of itive silver that I have ever seen. Whatever may be the result of the contest for owner ship, there can be no doubt that this mine will soon be among the recognized bonauzas. Near this mine we came upon an
 APACHE BATTLE GROUND.
 Human bones of every size and description lay bleaching around us on every hand. Rude graves, made by scratching a hole large enough for the corpse. Covering with thin layer of Spanish bayonets and few stones marked the quiet repOse of half dozen good Indians." From here we returned to Globe city and staried next day for Florence over the Putnam wagon road. Night found us at Dripping springs. Here we met Mir. 3ixby and Professor Caldwell. The tormer Is a recent purchaser of several mines in the Globe district, who was returning f'om an inspection of his int Tests in that section and was en Ioute to San Francisco for the purpose of occurring necessary machinery. Professor Caldwell was alo:.g mak ing assays for Mir. Bixby, and judg- ing from the number of flowers in their buggy and the frequent dis moun'ings of the professor to gath CT ih~ waysidc beauties they wee also blending botany with the other objects ot their journey. Speaking of flowers, l was particularly struck with the variety and quantity of wild flowers all along our road from Camp MeDowell and Florence, the sight of wLih would alone pay for the hard.hips encountered on the trip. Every hillside was car peted with a Iich setting of tl.Ous- ards of the most beautiful members of the
 FLORAL KINGnoM.
 The cactus family in the dress of bright red. the Spanish bayonet ar rayed in white, with the slightest tinge of green, the purple lark spur, the modest daisy. and t.n thousand hillside beautips for which 1 know TO name. charmed us with their low Eness and intoxicated Us with their rare fragrance. At Florence we
