CORRESPONDENCE,

DEAR BELT:-It's been long con- ing, but it's here-I have reference to the hot weather. And you, who so- journ on the banks of Pinal creek, and breath the pure air of Globes altitude, and whose cheeks are famed by the cool breezes from Finals pine wreathed summit, cannot obtain a full appre- citation of the force of the adjective from simple pcrusal of this letter. One must needs experience the tiempo caloroso of this section in conjunction with the all-pervading dust, kicked up by the idle teamsters and their brother-mules Ghey are all here) to know what "hot'' is intended to convey.
 Yes, the mules and the smule-skin- ners, thesbul $ and the bull-whackers, and the big wagons are all here; the nuiess ifssi shiiit;fins i;-i'f as usual. Sut Eot hard CT nor oftener than the drivers. No coke. Washouts to the east of us; washouts to the west ofs us. Sorry condition of affairs, but most of the boys seem inclined to accept the sit uation and thank the Lord it's no worse.
 The merchants wear calm, placid looks. "Oh we'll own 'em all, ranch CTS and ranches, teamsters and teams, miners and mines before many days" Alas! and they will, too. Not that their prices are exorbitant. Oh, no! but who is earning expenses among this crowd of willing-to- beat work men? Men must eat, and mules too; bulls are pretty good rustlers, but miners do not live upon ''wind- -pud- ding with atmospheric sauce.'
 Phil Montague, the t'News man. wears self-satisfied smile born of an inward feeling of we'll performed duty, and knowledge of a paying paper Phil is not a descendant of Tigge Montague, Esq.
 George King is happy and indolent no mails to sort, and very little tc make up. King has added largely tc his stock in store, and now carries a we'll selected stock of stationery, fancy articles, cutlery, &c., in connection with his supply of fruits, in season nuts and candies. n,
 Julius Liberman has gone east tc enjoy his summer solstice, and Ma, Mayer handles their enormous busi ness as easily and gracefully as ii 'tWere mere pastime. @ ~
 Norton & Stewart, D.~H. Smith Co.,, and the other smaller merchants seem to be doing about the usua amount of business. They are "clos Ing out their credit business" ant adopting cash basis, much to the re gret and disappointment of mining men and prospectors.
 Mine host Davis, and his estimabl lady of the Eureka House, are pro gressive people; Davis has refurnishe' his house complete, from new oftic and bar furniture to dining room ant sleeping apartments. The weary trav eler can now repose upon bran-ne7 spring mattresses, set up in handsome ly furnished and carpeted apartments
 and be sure of soul-sustaining meal at most reasonable rates.
 I didn't mean this for an advertisin letter, but "everything goes these du
 times.
 , This section is favored with the wis : its of numerous people searching fo ranches, stocked and open, and rumol ;, of some heavy transactions in tha line are mooted about.
 Don't you Globeites be disheartene' for the coke laden teams will soon | !, "poling" down your streets. W know there's plenty en route for her ; and will soon reach its destination. DEWITT. . ---------+-S-*-----
