MINES ABOUT GLOBE.
 (Silver Bslt).
 Coke is piling up at the Old Domin- ion smelter, and copper is going forward to Wilcox every day.
 The sale of the Silver Reef claim, first extention to the Rescue, was made few days since to G. T. Webster, of New Orleans. The parties selling are B. G. and B. c. Fox, W. H. Tender and Simon Billing.
 Simon Billing made shipment to Socorro, N. M., of over two tons of silver ore from the Woodville mine, few days ago. The ore assays about 45O ounces to the ton, and since MT. Billing com menced work on the mine last fall, ore has been shipped to the value of more than Sl,5OO. MT. Billing having pur- chased the interests of James Pascoe and Hyman Sultan, now owns three quarters in the claim, the remaining quarter being held by Capt. Tender. Gen. F. F. Myles, Frank Clawsou and L. J. Webster, who were here to exam inc the Rescue mining property, belong ing to the last named gentleman. re- turned to New Orleans on Sunday last. and it is understood that the report on the property will be favorable and that it's transfer will follow to New Orleans company already organized and with abundant capital. To obtain samples for test shot was put in at a spot in the ledge selected at random, and which loosened quantity of exceedingly rich ore some of which will probably assay several thousand dollars to the ton, and surprised even those who had previously considered the Rescue a valuable prop erty. It is believed to be one of the best silver mines in Globe district, and with proper management would no doubt prove bonanza to it's owners.
 THE PRESCOTT REDUCTION WORKS.
 The proposition to establish general quartz reduction works in Prescott is being favorably considered by our citi- Zens, and will, we hope, be carried out. Gentlemen of the committee that was appointed Monday evening last have conferred with MT. Rockwell, who will, ere long, go into the surrounding min ing districts, make careful estimates of ore in sight and report. A company will soon be formed, stock will be issued and subscribed for.-Courier,
 THE NICHOLAS MINE.
 A reporter of the Tombstone Epitaph visited this property last Sunday. The Nicholas lies about two and half miles south of Tombstone, and about half a mile southwest of the Emerald, and is among group of the best mines in the district. It is full-sized claim and the ledge crops out the entire length of the claim. A substantial house has been erected on the south end of the ledge, where all development work has been done. Several tons of fine ore are now on the dump. Three men are now at work in the mine, using a windlass for hoisting, which will be replaced by a method of hoisting when MT. Van Burt returns from California. The shaft IS down 135 feet and is slight in- cline. At depth of 100 feet drift has been run north 30 feet on the ledge, ghich gdti is about twelve inches in width reached depth of 120 feet the ledge suddenly took turn and went down nearly perpendicular and from this point to the bottom of the shaft has been steadily widening and increasing in richness, until it is now fully two feet in width and will average 200 ounces to the ton. The ore in the bottom of the shaft shows horn silver very freely and chloride in profusion.
