Copper District Notes.
EditOr Enterprise:

Editor Enterprise:
 We left your city by the Gila, after spending a very pleasant sojourn, for our mountain home i'll Dripping Springs Val ley, or what IS now known as Copper Dis trict. We found the road from Riverside to the Valley in tolerable fair condition, thanks to the Pinal Board of Supervisors for repairing it and putting it in a condi- tion so teams and the line of freighters can haul freight as far as the Pioneer camp; the road not being opened but few miles further. It would appear that the peo- pie of Globe do not want communication too direct to their town, so must haul freight from Wilcox over road 150 miles long and through an Indian country and directly through the San Carlos res ervation, where their goods are at the mercy of every Indian racket. It is strange, but nevertheless true, road by Riverside and Pioneer camp is just 90 miles from the Casa Grande depot to Globe, and by an outlay of few thous- and dollars can be made an excellent mountain road. And we hope the peo- pie of Globe will soon see the advantage of this route.
 Coi AlAAAOo III OlAAo per OA GIIS OOullOJ are looking well. Quite a number of new discoveries in copper have been made lately, all in this range, known as the Dripping Springs range or Mescale Noun tains, running from Riverside to Blair and Rapp's town site, embracing belt of country twenty-four miles long and about twenty wide, and contains all necessary facilities for mining. There are also some very fine silver mines located by Peter T. Kelly and others, lying ill the same range. The ores found are principally carbonate and silver glance. Quite number of mines are about being opened and devel- oped. A contract has already been given to sink on the Blue Bell fifty feet, by it's owners, Putnam Bros. and P T. Kelly. Very little rain has fallen in this valley so far. Yours Truly,
