Scattering Notes Respecting Mining in Different Localities of Arizona. Globe. Ariz, March 5.-(Special cor respondence of The Republiean.)- .)-In presenting the following it is my pur- pose to touch only briefly upon mat ters in this locality for the reason that so many are heading this way in anticipation of striking it lucky in view of recent statements regarding
 the G. V. G. & N. railway and the blowing in of the United Globe, or what is familiarly termed the "Buf- falo'' Before proceeding with the main points in this line I will go back to Wilcox, and lead up to Globe. George Raum and Charles Cunning
 ham were recipients of S20,000 each, it has been given out, for the group of copper mines upon which the Grand Reef company (John W. Mackay ct aD are operating and on which machin cry has been hauled. At the range of distance, even at Wilcox, it could not be definitely determined what the current year will demonstrate to the progress of affairs made by the parties interested at Grand Reef will be- Raum disposed of his business to Jo- S6pu HWSIlIlcA c OO. lOl cpOdI Y1, GOO, including the site on which the business was done. Schwertier was associated with Raum in the early eighties. Raum is abroad in Germany. Cunningham is said to be propecting 1 south of Tucson.
 Casey Bros, who have been oper-
 ating in Dos Cabezas district south of Wilcox some seventeen miles, have 1 filed deeds in escrow at Tombstone on eight claims in anticipation of a deal on which they expect to realize from $50,000 to SS0,000. The properties are we'll developed. The district is re- garded as a gold producer and it is claimed that capital will demonstrate that it will eventually show up as the biggest camp in Cochise county, Com monwealth not excepted.
 One hundred carloads of high grade gold and silver bearing ore is delivered monthly by Norton & Morgan, freight ing contractors from the Common wealth at Pearce, to Cochise station At least two shipments of bullion are shipped out monthly by express. Re- cent development work shows $100 to the ton. The ore has shown gener- ally s20 gold and $50 silver. Depth reached on the 1st of March was 800 feet, considerable drifting and cross cutting being done
 Edward R. and Joe Hooker and Sam Appel imagined they had good thing l at first sight and it was the purpose of Sam and Ed to go out this week and see the two claims presented to their attention by a Mexican who found prospects in December and brought in test lots to Wilcox a few days ago. Sam told the writer that he had a mountain of gold on these claims To- cat fifteen miles north of Benson on the San Pedro and later Joe remarked in answer to question that 1t pinched out in later test I dropped over to Ed Rockers assay office and found the trio talking mines and mining at a great rate. When MT. Hooker be- gan work on his proposition at Fort Bowie he put in few chemicals and other appurtenances in a spare room i back of his attractive residence. He
 has made assays on sample lots and these as well as lots sent abroad made an excellent howing. q am too busy now on cattle matters to pay any at
 tention to mining so I drew my men l off at Bowie for awhile. It will keep and the cattle business in hand must have immediate attention,' said Mr. Ed R. Hooker, when he was asked to ] talk about his Fort Bowie mining
 camp.
 George Wilson, forwarding agent at Wilcox for the government in con-
 nection with Camp Grant, has copper
 properties in the Huachucas and an
 eastern man is looking up parties with
 whom to place certain groups which
 MT. Wilson thinks are all right
 In Solomonville are Hon. Wiley B.
 Jones, w. H. Parks, I. B. Solomon and
 others who are looking forward to the
 approval Of the recent final survey
 which has been inspected by Col. F.
 H. Brigham for the interior depart
 ment. His approval is in Washir gton
 and action on this is awaited with anx-
 iety. Indications point to the fact
 that coal beds exist and the black dia-
 monds lie in the fields in great vol
 ume.
 It was rumored at Solomonville that
 Charles M. Shannon was somewhere
 on J. Leyzinsky's trail and had located
 at some point on the Santa Fe with view of closing a deal on the prop
 critics lying against those of the Ari-
 zona Copper company at Clifton. This
 needs confirmation as it is known that
 Jesse Grant was in on deal with ref
 erence to the erection of a sme1ter on
 the claims.
 In passing down the Gila to San Car
 los it was noticed that almost every
 freighter carried all the coke that the
 wagons would hold on top of which
 were bales of hay or bags of grain.
 There is an immense pile of coke at
 Bowie as well as at Geronimo and this
 is being hurried to the smelter of the
 United Globe, the property of the
 Copper Queen company of Bsbee.
 All the teams in sight are pressed
 into service for individual account but
 they get no haul out as yet. The
 round trip to and from Globe is made
 in eight days.
 Speaking of the United Globe l
 might introduce the subject with the
 statement that young MT. Jones and
 his wife came in on Thursday accom-
 panied by MT. Mclean and wife and
 Were out yesterday to see Little John
