Globe VI. Copper 4neen.

Tho Tucson Citizen of the 27th ult.' under the caption of Arizona the great copper field," requires correction so fur as reference is made to the old Globe copper production. which in order to afford ibe opportunity of placing that mine and smcl,er third upon the list. after speaking of the Copper Queen and Clifton copper companies, gives tongue to the following:
 'ihe nox; in order of production come the mines near Globe, in Gila county. They are but just coming to tho front as producers. The Globe mine, says the onding June 30th, produced 184 ,255 Th,s was an average of a little over nine tons per day, which is an evidence of un usual richness of the ore treated. Tue SILVER DRLT sa.;s this beats s,tber one of the Copper Queen furnaces, which is very true, and true for tllis reason only, that lhe 0lohe furnace was fed from tho richest ord from the minc, while i,, the Copper Qtsben everything is worked down te five per cent, 1t having been demon. straied that that per cent of copper pays all expenses leaving 'hc surplus as profit. There is no doubt but what the managers of the Globe mines will adopt a similar policy to that of Copper Queen and work its medium and low grade ores with the rich. aRd thus insure long and uniform yprnsperous era for the property.
 The Citizen is in error m saying that "the old Globe furnace was fed from the richest ore from this mine" :" IS that would imply that the ere was care, fully culled and selected in order to make especial run or product of flu mace, which is not he fa,t as thousands of toas of ore of similar grade to tha, now being treated |, is available al the mine, and only waste and such ores as will not, at present prices of fuel and transportation, afford margin of prof, is discorded in the working of the mine. Much richer ore than yet smel,ed can be taken out at any time should the furnace be "run on the richest ere from tho mins" Without making any invidious comparisons. but in justice to our own mines. we challenge the Cili. zan to compare <be worksng results of the frft thousand tons of ore sn,elted in the "Copse' Queen" furnace (when running on ,hs,r best ore) and that of the "Old Glebe," and we are satisfied that the result will fully confirm what we have claimed for the "Old Globe" and other mines of this district. ...
 During the months of June and July the "Oiu Giobe" furnace smelted 1894 and 405,2000 tons of ore, producing 272 and S2O200O tons of copper, or an average yield of nearly 20 per cent. This was the result of about thirty five working days, as the furnace was shut down part of the time for want of coke.
 The Citizen commits another error in referring to the Globe mine. While there is miue of that name of doubtful reputation, that company certainly has no furnace, and from present indications in the mine" has no use for one, and yet its stock Is regularly called at the New York American Board, and strange to say finds buyers The "Old Globe" copper mine was, we are informed, tho filst ono located in Globe District, and gave name to the town and district of Globe. In our spin. ion the Old Globe is mine of surpassing merits, as results have shown, and we here predict that the output of the ore and metal will be second to none Tn Ari zena whenever necessary smelting fac,li. ties, arc provided
