Arizona weekly enterprise., 1882-09-23

We learn from Horace L. Smith, who returned from Globe Sunday, that forty four tons of ore put through the Old Globe furnace, one day last week, turned out fifteen tons of ingot copper. That is a remarkable showing and should be sufi- cient to convince the outside world that the Arizona copper mines are the best yet discovered Another remarkable thing about the Old Globe copper mine is the fact that the company's furnace, which was designed as a thirty-ton shelter read fly reduces from forty to fifty tons of Old Globe ore, in twenty-four hours. It Is one of the matchless Rankin, Brayton Gy Co.'s Water Jackets, built at their Paci- tic Iron Works. We never knew any other furnace to give such surprising re- suits.
 Mir. s. Linkton, one of the directors of the Pinal Consolidated, came down from San Francisco, Sunday. and spent several days at the mines and furnace and was well pleased with the showing in the mines We learn from him that the preparations for starting the furnace will be pushed to completion with all speed possible. The average of the large am ount of ore the company shipped to San Francisco was forty dollars in silver to the ton and fifty per cent lead This is twenty dollars ton more than they ex- pected the ore would yield. There can be no question about paying dividends with such ore as that, especially when we consider the immense body of it now un- discovered in the mines, and lying on the dump at the furnace and the tunnel
 The Rev. Mr. Girard desires us to say that the only reason he has for turning over the old church property to the sis ters for an academy, is the fact that it is well adapted to school purposes, and that new church can be erected at much less cost than could an academy building atfording as much room as does the old church property. There are six large rooms, beside the church room in the old building and they are conveniently ar ranged for school purposes. The grounds in the rear are large and well shaded There is a good we'll almost under the roof of the building, that will furnish an abundant supply of water for drinking and cooking purposes, and the Alamo Am arilla canal passes through the grounds, afording ample facilities for irrigating the trees, shrubbery and garden. It would take considerable time and money, he says, to put up as roomy a building, pro vide the same conyeniences and place new grounds in the same favorable con dition. He requests all those who may not be satisfied with the proposition to build new church and convert the old one into an academy to call at his resi- dence and permit him to show them through the buildings and over the grounds, and to explain matters to them, as he desires to commence work on the new building at once.
 Last Saturday, the 16th, was the anni- versary of Mexican Independence and our 1 Spanish population made a gala day of it. They commenced their festivities Friday evening and many of their residences and | hnc mated by means of Chinese lanterns hung over the doors and along the caves. The etlulgent glare of rockets and Roman can dles was seen in every direction and the ''vive la Mejico, and the "vive la Hi dalgo" rose above the deafening roar of Giant cartridges and fire crackers at every point of the compass. The same scenes were repeated on larger scale Saturday evening, and wound up with grand ball at the Court House and supper at the Silver King. The front of the Court 1 House was tastily decorated with lanterns hung in circles and difusing flood of tri-colored light. The interior of the hall was embellished by flags gracefully grouped along the sides, and at each end of the room, life sized portrait of the Mexican Washington was suspended and draped with flags of the two republics. Before the dance began Juan Cabaze de- livered stirring address in Spanish, |, which created considerable enthusiasm We haven't room for a literal translation of it. and even if we had, a translation would destroy its beauty, for English, though more copious, is not so well ad- apted to fervid and impassioned oratory as is the Spanish. The speaker, after el- oquently expressing his own love for and devotion to his native country, went on to give his countrymen an idea of what country meant, and followed this with the reasons why they celebrated, and should continue to celebrate, the 10th of September through all hefuture years. He concluded by thanking the ladies for their presence and the Americans for their generous assistance in celebrating the Mexican Independence day, and re- tired amid storm of applause. He was followed by Judge Goodwin, who deliver ed brief address'in ill English, in which he dwelt upon the bonds of sympathy and
