1t would seem with rich and extensive
mineral deposits that are already known
TO exist in the Globe district, there IS
little room for doubt that ultimately 1T
will become one OF the greatest mining
camps on the Pacific coast. During
my stay here l have made deligent in
quiry from every source available, as
we'll as close personal investigation, to
obtain the most reliable information
concerning the prospects which have
been, and a-e now being opened in said
district, and the result is, l have the
most lively anticipation Of a eat fu-
ture for Globe. In a previous commun-
ication | devoted some attention to the
three principal mines Of Globe, known
as the Old Dominion, the Buffalo and
the Rescue. At this time / shall try to
give brief account of a few Of the
numerous mines in prospect, just to in
dictate the quality ind extent OF the de-
posits.
There is embraced in what is COM
monty known as the Globe Mining Dis
trict three distinct belts: first. copper:
next silver; tnen gold. The copper veins

On the Doth of May I accompanied
Phillip Oates, G. E., superintendent OF
the Commercial Mining Co., to the
Hoosier copper mine to acquaint myself
with the prospects thereof. Much good
ore has ueen taken from this mix in for
mer years. The company bonded 1t few
months ago, eince which about dozen
men have beea employed in prospecting
IT for larger bodies OF GRE, and have, IN
pursuance OF the same, axtandeG the
main tunnel $40 feet. This COM paEy e
one of the most progressive, Is we'll ag-
gressive on the coast, having made pros
porous Bisbee what it is as y camp
hence the deep interest that is felt by
Globeltes in the result OF what Mr..
Oates shall be able to report to his com
pany. Up to the time OF the writing,
nothing of especial interest has been de
veloped. The company have bonded
and purchased twelve claims, all of
which will be tested as speedily as cir
cumstances will permit. The opinion
prevails that should the company find
everything to their liking and decide 10
commence operations here, a railroad to
connect at some point with the S. p.
R'y will be built with brief delay-aD
enterprise that would tend to develop
this district very rapidly. 1t is authori-
lively stated that there is now a good
number of mines opened up that can
cot De profitably operated on account of
be cost Of expCr ing the produce to the
market, whereas by cheap transit they
would prove beyond doubt extreEely
rCti able.
Among other silver mines deserving
Il notice is the Red Rover, seven miles
northeast OF town. 1t was one of the
first locations made in the silver belt
Consioerab ore has heen mined from it,
averaging from $3.50 to 5000 per ton
This property is owned by j. H. Pascce,
restaurant keeper on Main street.
The Woodvile mine on The same ledge.
). Billings owner, is another valuable
property only awaiting the advent Of
capital TO operate it and railway outlet
Over $4,000 worth Of ore has been
shipped from it through freighters.
The Horn Silver mine, among early 10
cations, is now owned by S. W. Rich
nond, breeder of fine borses. He re
Dorts tina the five claims embraced un
der the above named are located within
4 mile of gord country road and ten
miles nor beast of Globe. 1t has an
extra mill site and an abundance of
imber for fuel. From 27l pounds of
re- shipped to San Francisco, in 1866,
LAOS 90 was returned TO Mr.. Richmond
This property has produced $4,000
worth OF bullion.
From the Sherman adjoining about
$4,000 was taken out at near tle same
lime
The Stonewall silver mine has a five
stamp mill, and parties are engaged
hloriding.
J.B. Henry, of Richmond Basin re
ports alb Jut twenty men at work in that
| district.
The McMorris mine 10 miles distant,
is the principal. from which the COMPANY
| under three years superintendeuce o.
Gen. Clinton =. Fisk produced 100000
silver bullion. Lease holders have
since produced about S25,G00.
Numerous other equally promising
silver mines in that basin only need
rood machinery, capital, and skill
to operate them to ensure big profits.
The quartz,te gold district has mum
Der of good mines, among which is the
| Fame mine, seven miles northeast
| Klein & Co, proprietors, from which has
| 1een extracted 100000. Ore averages
| 700 ounces per ton.
