Mining Notes.

the Globe has commenced operations, turning out at the rate of 9 tons of cop DOT every twenty-faslr hours, or total of 570 GOO pounds per month The Buffalo follows next; the furnaces ara in full blast, and the copper bullion runs out at a satisfactory rate. The Hoosier smelter has been ordered, the site for which is be- ing gradod, and reduction work on the 80 feet of good grade copper ore will be- come fact within the next seventy days. The ore III sight in the Globe, that by ac- tual measurement in the Buffalo and the | 80 feet of Hoosier ore will not be less than 100 900 tons, giving a net product of | l5 per cent assay value, of 8 total of 10, GOO tons of ingot copper, the value of which at 20 cents, the eastern contract price, would be S6, ,0O0,00O These figures, al- though large, are not the fancy of our i'm sgination, but are tho result of careful measurement and computation by men of experience, not of Globe, but persons who were here in the interest of Eastern reiners and workers in copper. What the Globe is now producing with one fur mace equals very nearly the product of tho Copper Queen at Bisbee, which oper- stes with two smelters of 30 tons capacity each, and produces Il tons of eopcst ore every 24 hours. When we consider that this last named mine employs in different capacities oyer 250 men, we can safely as- sume that our smelters here will employ fully 500. 1t surely does not require very great penetration of mind to estimate the benefit winch this immense production of copper will have upon the growth and welfare of Globe itself The success of the Globe and Buffalo have already cre- ated 6 buoyancy in business circles and given a cheerful aspect to the whole com munity. The shipment of bullion for the present week by the Mack Morris amounted to S4,911.56 Total to date S563, ,576 54-The net results of the working Of three and half tons of Fame ore at the Miami mill was S2, POO. -SilyeY Belt.
 The total shipments of silver bullion from Globe through Wells, Fargo & O. s Express during the month of June has been little over $41, ,000 There are quite number Of bars on hand ready for shipment, and which will appear in next months report -Thc output of Contention bullion shipped to San Fran cisco during the month of June will reach S15, ,000. .-ChronicEe
 The Columbia Mining Company of the Santa Ritas are shipping from the depot here to their mines, g miles away, all the necessary machinery for working ore Yesterday water jacket and blower were hauled to the scene of future opera tions. The Empire district, during the past three months, has increased her ore dumps to magnificent proportions. The Total Wreck, one of the acknowledged bonanzas of Arizona, is only one of the many large bullion producers of this dis trict. Every day brings tidings of new finds and new strikes In a few weeks the Total Wreck will be pouring out a stream of bullion Others will soon fol ow-To the west of Tucson, in the Meyer district, wonderful developments are being made.
