 The ride through Copper canyon took us over an hour, during the tAne had frequent occasion to observe l lthat wherever VIC passed stagnant water 1t was of dark green color. and that all the stones and rocks over which water N as flowing wereas green as if they had been painted.
 Along toward night we reached our camping ground The horses land the bulro were freed of their load, and Mr. Hayse proceeded to prepare supper, after he and the rest lof the company bad braced them selves up with drop of rot-gut. '' l Tine supper tasted spiendidly. During the night 1 felt that the cold season was Ut hand, and found it necessary to wrap my blankets tightly around me; when l awoke in the morning lmy ice coated beard reminded me that frost is no stranger even to Ar .zona.
 Immediately after daybresk we took coffee, then started again for home, but not the same way we had cone, for We wanted to see another mine owned by the gentlemen, called the Rowen mlne. About a year ago my friends, while on a tour of ex- pIoration through the mountains, found on the ground two pieces of ore, each weighing about two pounds, which they immediately recognlzed as gold ore. They had the pieces lassayed and found the one indicating S44 ,000 in gold and Sl6.000 m silver, the other indicating Sl0 ,00U in gold and between $300 aid S4D0 llD silver per ton. They have since been digglng considerably to get at the source of this rich ore, but so far have not succeeded iii finding any veiu of gold. They have, however, struck yem of silver which-it would lpay very wei 10 work # a wagpn road should be built. TIns discovery. of gold created 10 little sur on the Pacific Coast at the time. It Is rather peculiar that several similar ias,auces have occurred iii Globe ! District, and one feels inclined to suppose that under the surface more ] of ths ore must be in existence.
 Before returning to Globe, we went 1 a little out of our way to sec the Lost Gulch mines, where. in the bed of a small stream, gold dust has been found for several years. About a year ago gold niue vas discovered there. and IS now worked by a hrm ou the old Mexscan plan, which yields shem only 40 or 5U per cent of the real value of their ore The owners, 1 Lldolpd, Dempsey < Co., are, how ever, well pleased wlth the results obtmned thus far They have sunk shaft about 50 feet deep, aud run from 1t two drifts, each between thirly and forty feet long
 The Lost Gulch District comprises about two square iAties. IL bids far ] to yield grea5 treasures, prevailed tue miners have sufficient capital to work their finds and to 0uild lnills lu waIch i their ore can be reduced. That gold is found there is shown by the faeI that the above named firm send some S300 worth every week to Shyroek < H,se, merchants. iu Globe
 | The next mormng We started to visit the Julius, Chloride, anu Dun derburg mines, the property of Hayse < Buck. The Julius and Chloride mines ad5on each other, aud cover a space of about 9V0 feet long by I,500 feet vide The Dunderburg 1 Is a continuation of the Julius gIy- ing the latter an area Of 6O0 by 8 ,O00 feet, and to the Chloride an area of ,500 by 800 feet. These mines were discovered some nine mouths ago by 6ndihg some very rich pieces of ore ou the surface. I The Julius and the Chloride are sit hated on the northern Face of a very steep nil, rising about 1,000 feet above q well timbered plain that also coAtains plenty of water. The Dun derbHrg runs from the north side oyer me top of the hiil in 8 south easteriy direction These three mines do not run out into the surface, but they are what she miners term blind veius. The lucky discoyerers went for that hill like moles, and after l persistent digging they were rewarded lDy dndng . Yenl winch promised a ach yield They immediately sunk ] small, narrow shaft, aud three snail ! narrow tunnels, just big enough for 1 one man to work in b6rIng holes, by which the rock might be blasted.
 They very soon struck IS rich ore as was ever found ia Globe District.
