Special Correspondence of THE CITIZEN.

OifODhf A. A.f August t.-1 hNAS NiS in the vicinity of 1500 locations in Globe District. Those of them which have the right to be regarded as mines are extraordinarily prosperous, when the comparative difficulty of working them and the distances which all kinds of supplies and machinery have 10 be transported is considered. The great majority of the remain der of these locations well re- pay the work expended upon them. From what have seen during con stant travel for period of nearly two weeks, l assert that Globe District has a future before her ibat will be almost unparalleled in the history of the min ing world, and leave that prediction to the future for vindication. And yet have seen not One-twentieth Of the whole. The great need of Globe seems to be a custom mill at which ore can be taken with reasonable
 
 prospect of the mine-owners being able to get fair return, and l am cer- tain, from what l can learn, that 20 stamp mill al this point, run on those principles, would pay handsomely.
 regretted very much uOt having time to visit the EmmelIne, in re- sponse to an invitation from Charlie Hayes, one of the owners, from the fact that il is one of the richest pros poets now being developed in the vi cinity of Globe Both 60-foOt shaft and an S0-foot tunnel show three foot vein of chlorides and sulphureIs, 20 tons of which gave an average as- say of S46i at the Isabella mill. Near ly 100 tons of ore now lie on the dump. and force of twelve men are busy increasing the same.
 The same parties own the northeast extension of the Emmeline, known as the German Friend. This is not so extensively developed, but so far as
 known it Is almost fabulously rich. The shaft is 20 feet deep, showing a 1 three-iOot vein of mixture of quartz, porphyry and chlorides, that will av- craze 60 ounces of silver per lon, but ! its chief beauty is vein three to three and a half inches wide of horn and nalleuhIe silver, which k so rich that ! it cannot be milled 10 advantage. 1 saw several specimens which had | been brought into town, one of which | assayed $26,00O. During thIee days ! ot last week over S3000 was taken out [ hy the owners. It would be trouble some, ] fancy, to duplicate this show ' ing. 1 About three miles northeast of | Globe, near the McMillen trail. Is the l Diana, a fine prospect owned by J. l.. ! Clarke and " B. LaRue. Groupings show on this claim fully two feet wide. and from these assays have been
 obtained running from $40 to S400. | IL has a 2J-toOt shaft near the center [ of The claim, the bottom of which ] shows fully six feet of ledge matter, 4 with a pay-streak Is inches to two ! feet wide. which by actual average | cives S4Oj to the ton. This is yet another of the prospects which await A purchaser or the erection at Globe oI ! a custom mil which will reduce ore l at reasonable price.
 1 One of the mines in the immediate | vicinity of Globe which deserves es l necial mention from the hopes that ! are entertained concerning it Is the ! Southwest Alice, the property Of A. ! II. Morehead and Dr. F. C. Thatcher, | the latter Globes leading surgeon. II | lies half mile east of Globe, and has : considerable development which con l Sists princiDallv of lO0-fUot shaft and | a 3J.foOt drift to the northeast on the vein. The entire shalt and dTllt shows ! a pay-streak of IS inches oi very high ! grade ore. Like many another good prospect u this vicinity. It now lies 1 idle awaiting a purchaser, though al | what price l du not know.
 My visit to RamLOz's Camp, the oldest iG Globe District. and lying ! about four miles north Ot Globe, was 1 cut short bv threatening thunder ! .hower. SD that the Centennial and ! Democrat were the only two proper lies visited. The former k owned by ! Dr l. I. Wilson and Mir. John Gib- hons. and is such d showing as ought l to tighten the hearts of the hard wors- : ing owners. Like many and many ot l Globes young mines il has paid Tor
 its develnpmcnt from he very stat, ID ! ,nite nf the ruinOus and eXtOruOnate l rhnrpes imposed here for milling. Most of the work has been done nn the northern end of the claim, which
 has the reEular northeast and south
 yv,.st trculD This has been on account of q Culch crossing 1t at this point ! which rendered tunnelling possible, I and the face of the tunnel which was
 run south in the vein Is in nearly 2OO
 feet. The main object of interest IS m the level which was run north on the { ve,n from the 60-inot working shaft. It's face is in 90 feet. and for it's whole
 length. as we'll as in the shaft, shows An average or more than three feet of
 a rich species of milling chlnrides, carving rich pay streak foot wide,
 taken all through, that was mllled
 
 $500 to the ton and upwards, and the
 ledge will mill right through S2OO, a
 shaft has been started to connect with
 the drift at it's present face, and Is in
 20 feet. The first-claSs ore taken from
 thus 2O-foot shaft yielded 5000 at the
 mIll. The ledge has excellent walls, has
 every indication of .permanency' and I leave the reader 10 estimate the
 value of this property.
 The Democrat is southeast ot the
 Centennial, and is nearly parallel. IL
 is owned by W. A. Holmes and w. w. Lowther, and IS indeed fine pros
 peci. On this claim there are no less then three distinct veins, each of which
 show at the present stage development
 enough to warrant an assertion tha'
 inc claim is valuable one. The wors
 thus far done consists of 33-fool
 shaft on the central vein, which shows IS inches of ore which has beer
 milled. showing a battery assay of l3t l -,...oo- of cslvar nor tOr teu-fOO
