 GLOBE CTY, Feb. l6, lSs5.
 lam not at all surprised on my re- turn to thls place after twelve months absence to find evidences on every hand of marked improvement during the year. There is no rush of business or signs Of a boom or attempted boom; in fact busi- ness is rather dull, bat better than l observed at this date last year, and 1t IS certain that on the breaking up of Win ter there will be renewed activity. Last year belleve at this date no smelters were running, and mining atfalrs looked dubious, and as a consequence there vas general feeling of dis ccuragement among business men, and 8 spirit of fretfullness exhibited by all classes. Nothing of the kind is ob- servable here now; on the contrary, in spite Of dull times every oneseem hope ful and confident, and a spirit oi buoyancy peryades the community here and prevails at the surrounding camps. We have just had rather severe rain storm; zhis morning it showed slightly but the sun is shining now, and faiI weather prophesied
 MINING AFFAlE=.
 The Tucoms Company started up the ! Carrie sme.ter this week, U1t wert prevented from making continuous run ! by leakage of the wateT-J2cket. | The Long Island smelter also had tC stop, waiting for supplies. Meanwhile l the development Of the mine is actIvel! ! prosecuted.
 1 The Old Dominion is running steadii! and shipping largely.
 The Pioneer IS 6 most promising camp | and great expectations are based upoL | ils protected operations. During tut wear ii has developed into an ac;iv, mining camp of decidedly respectabl ] proportions. The work on the new roaO | from Pioneer to Globe has been vel | done. lt was JudlcIOusly laId out by the ! engineer. and the work carefully done | l. Is now one of the best mountain roads | l have ever seen. The scenery iron points on the high grades near the sum ! nit is as grand and picturesque as caI 1 be found on the continent. The com pletion of the road Is al achieyemen l that will add materially to the pros peritv of Globe, and was an absolutt necessity to Pioneer dIstuct.
 THE MARROW GAUGE.
 The proposed narrow gauge railroad l meets with general disfavor among the people here. They regard tue road a' not only an achievement from which they would receive little if any benefit, bu that 1t would, m fact, be detrimental L. their interests. l find that the OnlA men who refused % afiiX their signature | to the petition against II were thosi comprising the law firm of Fitch .g Far omar, oi this city. The people do ny Ike additional taxation without recelv ing a corresponding benefit, which the, claim would be the case, as the marrow gauge road would not reach Globe, It nearest approach being more than twen ty miles away. At the same time TlOb' people would like to have a road tha would come to their own doors.
 TaE NEW HOSPITAL.
 The new hospital which the citizen of this place with commendable energ, have succeeded in building and furnish ing during the year, IS now completed and ready for occupancy. IL Is super vlsed by ladies competent for the re spOnsible position and how patlentl. wait to welcome with Outstretched arn the victim of the next shootiug-scrape if there's anything left Of him to wori on.
