ON THE ROAD.
k Trip Erom Casa Eraade to tsfebe and What is Go be Seen.

The distance to Florence IS 26 miles over '-shell road. but why so called after wading through sand most Of the way always annoys the man who pom ders over il until told that it is named from the inlumeTable requests male upon tourists to "shell out" which they generally do at the muzzle of >ix-shooter.
 Florence is delighllully situated, well watsred. and substantially built. The adobe age is giving way 10 th' more pleasing brick and stone era. Florence claims a population of lj0o souls, which from the appearance Of the town is no. an oser-es;imate. The new court house now in course of con siruc;ion, the most attractive and eommodious school house, the brick block of W. c. Smith ,S- Co, and the best weekly in the Territory-the En- terprize---are some ol the prominent features Of the town at first sight.
 Tweniy-six miles more brings the traveller to Riverside where Sheriff Reynolds and party were killed by "Kid" and companions last winter. While sitting outside the house at this welcome resting place on Wednes- day last, u small band of APaches from San Carlos, consisting of three bucks armed with Winchester rifles, eight squaws and several paps, came by and stopped to water their horses without being asked. One of them pulled piece of paper from his pock- ct and handed it to iddleton-who was the only white man who escaped with his life at the Reynolds massacre and with grunt awaited its perus- al. On the inside was written this short explanation
 "These Indians are going down inc San Pedro to gather acorns.

 A CITIZEN"
 This was the only passport they had and had evidently been written hy one of their number who had been educated"
 Several old timers are making their headquarters at Riverside, among .hem Pete Gabriel the thrice elected sheriff of the county, Middleton who although young in years, is old in ex- perience and many old Tombstone miners who have good properties there
 The last of the miners who have been at work on the Ray mine have left for Washington Camp. The mine has been absolutely thrown up by those holding the bond. Pete Gabrial will start up the 5-stamp iuill next week on custom ore. Gold lodes ol immense size, and paying propositions abound along the river, and are creat- ing favorable mention wherever known There is water enough here to furnish power for hundred stamps and eight to ten dollar ore in sight sufficient to run the mill ten years.
 From Riverside to Pioneer is over a mountain. This latter is a deserted camp, but at one time supported a population of many hundred people. There are three miners chloriding here at present making big money, their ore returns show an average oI POO oz and is shipped to Fl Paso for treatment.
 From here te Globe over the Pinal mountains, is ride long to be re- membeIed. The road was bull. al great expense and is nearly all the dis .ance cut out of the mountain side. The climb is gradual and winds around impossible looking peaks through pine cedar forests and is such a pleasing contrast with the climate and country left behind, that it is with feeling of reluctance that the descent is made to Globe.
 GLOBE.
 Like. Tombstone, Globe has seen
  palmy days, but has taken rest. The vacant buildings however are gradually being occupied and a new lease of life is apparently being opened for the once famous camp. The Old Dominion Company and thSs Buffalo are the prominent factors in Sue boomlet just emerging from it's shell The former employs about 2oo men ana the latter will get start some lime in August The copper mines are not all Siobe has to boast of as productive of good .;.,oa aI,oad The ziIy@r ores through
