 GLOBE, ARIz., April IS, 1891. Anyone who has never visited Globe would be surprised to see how rapidly the town is progressing. You never hear people complaining of hard times and no money. Everybody seems to be doing well. The business men speak of doing good business, and to see the merchandise that comes into the town would convince one of the fact. The writer, only few days ago, counted twenty-seven wagon loads of goods com ing into the town at once.
 There are three mines, the Buffalo, old Dominion and Rescue, ali of which employ about twelve hundred men. The Buffalo mine and smelter, which is run ming day and night, has in it's employ from two to three hundred men. The mine never looked better before, the ore being very rich and inexhaustable. The smelter, with only one furnace, is turning out from six to eight tons of copper bullion every twenty-lour hours; besides, the company is making very extensive improvements in the way of buildings, &c.
 The old Dominion mine and shelter which has been running faithfully for years and has been the support of the town when others were closed, is still working the same as ever. There are about SOJ men directly and indirectly under the company employ. The mine is looking fine and the ore runs very high in copper. There are two large furnaces constantly running at the shelter, which turn out about sixteen tons of copper every twenty-four hours.
 Next is the Rescue silver mine, which, if it continues to develop as good as 1t now shows, will be Bonanza" There has been an enormous amount of money taken from this mine, but in the last few years little has been done to develop it until Mir. Webster, of New Orleans, became the owner and commenced push ing the work on it. He has about fifty men now at work taking out ore and there is now about 300 tons of ore on the dump, which will go from $l0J to $20U0 per ton in silver. l was shown a piece of the ore from this mine, which weighed about thirty pounds and was estimated to be worth S5 per pound. Mir. Webster has purchased the Golden Eagle quartz mill, situated near his mine, and intends to commence milling his ore in a short time. This will demand a much larger force of men for mining, freighting, etc. and with all these mines constantly run ming Globe will become good business center.
 By the way, would term Globe the sporting center of Arizona. There seems to be quite craze here about prize fight ing, foot racing, horse racing, ball play ing, etc.
 A few days ago there was prize fight between two men of the town and on the evening that it was to come off large crowd filled the hall to see the contest. When time was called both men entered the ring and shook hands, but they had no more than commenced sparring when the larger of the two got in sounder on his opponents nose, which caused him to run from the ring and not return.
 A few days later match of $500 a side for lOO-yard foot race was gotten up between two men named Ed. Bidwell and Floyd Blevins. The day was set for the contest and most all the town went out to the grounds to witness it. The start was agreed to be by mutual consent, so there was quite difficulty in starting, by each one trying to out jockey the other. When the final start was made Bidwell led Blevins for the first seventy-tive yards, but on the last twenty-five Blevins made his best speed and came out winner by about one foot. There were four watches that caught the time, two being 10 2-5 and two be. ing 10 l-5. Neither of the men are am ateur runners, Bidwell having run in Colorado, Montana and several other States, and Blevins having won sever al good contests in California.
 It is understood that the base ball nine here challenge any nine in the Territory to play for $500 side.
 A fine social was given at the M. E. Church a few evenings ago. and every. body enjoyed themselves. There was ar excellent lunch served, and a program consisting of games, recitations, sing ing, etc. W. II. G.
