CONFIDENCE RESTORED.
Globe District Coming to the Front
 Too Early for a Rush.

Globe, Ariz, March 6.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- As I remarked in a mining letter of recent date, it is too early to head for Globe, as there is now an Overplus of men here who desire connection with mining operations, job of any kind in town or in camps or to engage in business While there is no amount of property on the market, still few hundred or thousands Of dollars can be safely invested now with Q good prospect of transfer at advance three to six months hence. I don't even know how prices run, but man with "half an eye" can take in the situa- tion as readily as l can tell him. If the seeker for job can afford to wait he will be on the ground floor. It must be understood that the number of business houses in all lines here is equal to the demand likely to arise from the return to former conditions, hence the chance for new openings is somewhat limited, as also for persons seeking office or store work. Trans fers in saloons have reduced the num- Der one and yet two new ones have opened, making the aggregate in ex- cess of a previous statement made by the writer in October. In that line, as in general merchandising, there is enough. to supply double the popula- tion, stocks being complete now. There may be some chance, say on a big hotel to accommodate not less than sixty guests MT. James A. Fleming has a plan which Phoenix architect prepared at my dictation, my base of operations being in northern center. I believe MT. Fleming has correctly sized up Globe in securing that plan, but not for today. Its completion in September next will be timely. There are now small lodging institutions and always will be and they answer quite well for six months under present conditions and will be needed long after the railroad gets here. Enough for an introductory.
 It was thoughtful in my friends, Hon. George W. F. Hunt and Editor Joseph Hamill, to say ''Come in and join us on the occasion of the regular weekly Friday entertainment intrusted to the gentle care of the lsiies at the rooms of the Commercial club" The opportunity assisted ne in adding to the already large list of friends and acquaintances in Globe. Fully fifty ladies and gentlemen and several young folks enjoyed cards until a royal menu was spread. Among those pres ent were: MT. and Mrs. J. H. Hamill, MT. and Mrs. Dr. B. G.

 The Commercial club has existed two years, its objects combining social and business features. Its member ship is about sixty and Joseph H. Hamil1, joint publisher Of the Silver Belt, recently became the president, while H. L. Coombs was chosen sec retary.
