 The sale of the Continental Group for S5O. 900 is the latest and of the most important features in the return oI prosperity to Globe. This IS a golo and cooper proposition and consider able work was done, upwards ot soo'- 900 in development and holsts. mere are now about 20 men on the property and with the opening of the summer this property will be classed as a leod- ing feature. Though 12 miles re- moved it is comparatively easy of ac- cess.
 The Black Warrior has now a few men at work under the direction of Richard and Porter Fleming. They await the arrival of their father before doing any further work of conse- quence. The United Globe people were to treat the 1,200 tons of ore s. R. H. Robinson's teams hauled over last fall. This may be delayed a few days.
 The United Globe properties were visited this week by. Messrs. Douglass, James and Mclean. Prof. Douglass said to the writer that only the 160 ton jacket would be utilized after it had been placed in perfect condition. The smaller one, eighty ton, had been doing service since Thursday of last week. There are about 200 men in all departments at work. A more whole some location in the territory is not to be found within the immediate vicinity of the smelter. The very best order is maintained. The lodging house would be a creditable hotel in some places, and the eating house is on par with other conveniences. There is bath house attached to the lodgings. Mrs. Ramsdell has charge of the hotels mentioned. She has lived on Pinal creek about fifteen years, less a year on the Frisco at Clifton. As fast as about eighty teams can car y it over, the coke lying in the Gila Valley Railway company's yards is being hauled to the bins at the United Globe. There is plenty of wood. The teamsters get 221a cents per hundred on the haul of bullion to Geronimo. The force at the United Globe will be increased gradually until about July l, when about 400 men will be on the pay roll. There will be nearly 800 paid off on the pay day of September. The machinery, tramway and all ap pliances above and below are first class and Superintendent Cook is looked upon as a very capable man.
 Thousands of tons of coke and coal are in the bins at the Old Dominion and the stock of wood has been in creased of late, until now there must be almost 5000 cords in the yards. Scarcely fifty men are on the pay roll and these have been on the holes" for months past, on day shifts only. MT. s. A. Parnall continues in the po- sition of superintendent. He is cred ited with being an executive above the average and is one of the many young men who have made a reputation in the management of mines. He has grown in mining, his boyhood being spent in the Calumet-Hecla district of Michigan. He is one of the most pop ular men in this locality. MT. Luck, formerly of Prescott, is still book keeper. Old Dominion stock continues to go up on the board. A number here hold stock. The dumps are full to the extent of furnishing supplies to the smelters for several months. The Old Dominion is all right and one or more jackets will be fed before July 1. Everything points to the fact that the Boston owners of the Old Dominion will instruct before that time With the two companies employing 800 men look for big things in once isolated Globe. The Old Dominion was first operated in 1890.

The Sultan prop critics have been thoroughly exported Lee Crandall of Washington, D. C.. has a number of small prospects in Gold Gulch. There are about 100 men in the two gulches. Charles Banker has bonded the Yellow Metal, a pat ented claim, to Doc Heineman of Tempe, being a partner with Banker in the ownership. MT Banker said he had sunk s5,00O on the property so far and was satisfied that good money would be had out of it.
