surroundings warrant the expecta- tion, but to look for something com ing out of nothing in mining, more than any other enterprise, displays g lack of sound Judgment.
 It was unfortunate, too, that the existence of very rich surface ores la our district made inexperienced miners believe that these were of great extent New. when they find thss sbis IS not the case. they are disappointed, and talk as if they had dug out" their lodes, when in reality they have only failed to ''dlg unto" them. Ks Il general rule the only kind of silver mines that are great on or near to the surface, are deposits, which are more or less easily exhausted. If true fssare
 
 veins had their treasures stored at the grass roots to aid the poor anxi- ous miner in getting rich is quickly as possible, the Spanish proyerb about its requiring a gold mine to open silver mine, would have no  meaning at all. The mines of Globe are not exceptional m thus respect. It will take time, money. skill, and. sound judgment to bring them to the high productive standard to which sooner or later they are sure to at- tain. In tue quartzItes and lime stones are clalms which are likely to give many poor men good returns for their labOrs in working them now, and ultimately they will be fol- lowed inte the more favorable un- deriving formation, but our great permanent lodes m the primitive rocks, with their bonanzAs of coln- parativeIy low grade ores. will re Quire the capital aud executive skill of strong conpauHs to make them pay ID to their full capabilities. If tue McAIIlen Company shows by it's milling operations that It's ores are rich and abundant, the problem Of our obtaining capital to open mines of promise, vii s a measure be soved, and we cannot see that there is any risk Of failure n that quarter except by some unlocked for disaster,
 We might indicate which of the vein systems we have described Is likely to prove the most productive, but injustice might thus be done. We viii say tins, however, that where the McMilIea and nOrCheasterly belts intersect, there Is evidence afforded that the former IS the oldest O. the two, and has that advantage in its favor. At the poms of intersection. there are likely to be larger bodies of ore than at other points, and ad- vantage ought to be taken of this probable fact in opening the mines. In five or six years from now the great mineral resources of Globe Disulcs will be attracting the atten- tion of the mining world, and those who have the patience and power to wait the coming of those days will meet with ample rewards.
 Apart from our silver mining pros poets We may allude to the gold and copper lodes which abound in, or are convenient to the district. The former wall, in many cases, pay their way in being developed, and the iat- ter, when the Trans Continental railroads comes within reach, will be worked at a fair profit upon the cap ital employed iu mining and redue- ing operations.
 In conclusion we trust that our in proof that Globe Dis- trict has a coming great future, has been regarded by cur readers as sound and legitimate If we are mistaken in any Of the positions as sumed iu discussing the subject, We will be willing years hence to stand condemned therefor. E.
