GLOBE.

s,ed on PInnl creek, among the grassy foothills of the Pinal mountains, about fifty eight miles northeast from Florence. The business portion of the town lies along the creek OF both sides, and many private residences occupy picturesque positions on the grassy hills which rise on either side. The climate cannot be surpassed for its heslthful and lnvigor- ating qualities and it IS neither too cold in winter nor too wa:m m in summer, but the happy medium chsrscleriZes all seasons of the year.
 The town has prospered, notWith- standing the serious difficulties of h. dian wars, hard times and the lOngland expensive methods of transportation to the railway lines, and the people have never lost faith ID the ultimate prosper ity that now seems about tO be realized, 1t IS true, Its mills and furnaces have often remained inactive for months at time, but they have only awaited the coming of the time when rail transportation shall net consume such large portion of the profits Of the out put Heretofore they have freighted
 
 and weary route, one hundred and tweu- ty miles, at an almost ruinO1s expense, and returned the bullion in the same manner, and still made money, but 1t was deemed prudent not to waste such large sums in costly transportation when the prospects of a railroad in a short time promised them permanent relief, and nearly all the properties were consequently worked only for develop ment rather than for production, except ing at intervals when & favorable oppor- tunity to freight and market the bullion cheaply presented itself. The practice of 'chlOTiiing' has been continued, how ever, and shipments of high grade ores have been frequent and profitable. and by this means the finances of the place have been kept ID good condition. All its mines are noted for their wonder ful richnes ss and volume, md from some of them large quantities of pure, native silver has been taken, while m some neigborhOods nuggets of silver have been picked up from the grass roots like fruit that had fallen from its parent tree
 The "Old Globe" mine is one of the most extensive and valuable copper properties in the world, and in some re- spects It Is marvellous iI its phenomenal richness. The developments have been continued almost necessarily by a full force of eminers under the guidance of its skillful superintendent, Dr. Trip pell, and in addition to the rich bodies of copper the explorations have reveal ed great bO6y of high grade silver ore, III which huge masses of native silver frequently occur. The mine is not only of mammoth size, but the average qusl- ity If the ore runs so high that, not vithstanding the cost of coke 1865 per ton at the smelter) the long carriage and the prevailing low price of copper, its bullion has never neited less than three cents Der pound in New York. When the Narrow Gauge railroad reaches Globe, and the rates of trans portstion ars reduced n q proper and reas rDable basis, not only will the Old Globe become the most profitable mine in Arizona, but dozens Of otber proper ties around Globe will be enricnIng their owners snd adding largely 10 the worlds wealth of preeious metals.
 Mes-rs. Anderson, Lemon & McCabe own fine mIne on the hIll just above the Old Globe. called the BIrd's Net They have B shaft sixty feet deep in solid body of red oxide Of copper four snd one-half feet i1 width, winch smelts from 15 to 65 per cent copper. It i5 q splendid property and very valuable oue.
 There are dozens of other good mines whose names and ownership were not learned. that will eventually acheive dis tinction. Chleriders are doing well at the Mac Morris, MacMillRn and Stone wall Jackson, by having their ores worked Tn one of the several custom mills now running. The Fame mina, owned by Hayes, Klein S Co. IS also rich silver property. Mr. Hayes has bought the Centennial mill from Dr. Trippell and IS making D good road from the mine, SIX miles. and sill haul the ore to the mill. 4 big lot Of ore is now ready for reduction and when the nili starts up, only an accident or necf ssity of repairs will cause 1t to stop for a mo- ment.
 Globe has good churches and ar ex- cellent school; lodges of O1d Fellows and Mssons, a splendid weekly paper, and the usual merchandising establish ments, hotels, restaurants, saloons. etc. found m a substantial inning town. Its newspaper IS one of the best in the territory. and the Silver Belt is always a welcome visitor to the CITIZEN sanctum, as bright and readable exponent Of the progress and resources of Arizona and particularly of those of Gila county. Judge Hackney and his brilliant nephew, NIT. HsmIll control the Belts destiples and they are highly respected and es- teemed in their community. They de- serve great consideration at the hsnds of the people of Gils county for their zeal Tn advocating the welfare of Globe and its vicinity and their able defense of all its interests,
