 What do you think of Globe now?' still echoes in my ears. The query was propounded by almost every Globeite l met, for you must know that they are very proud of the county seat of Gila county, are those Globe ties. They have good reason to exult over the advanced conditions, apparent to any one who has not been in Globe | since President Garland's first train | came footing around the bend, sig nalizing the first entrance of train over the mountains, down Pinal creek into Broad street, the main thoroughfare of the growing city and Gila countys metropolis.
 There is much to tell of, and, though l took few notes, think can detail features that may even in- terest the enthusiastic citizen of Globe, at least enough to warrant his mailing copy of the Bulletin to some tiiSiIu III Ullt edSl
 The fire of some few months ago is merely history, hardly a sign of it's work being visible; the burned dis trict has been built upon and more substantial structures are being started above high water mark below the Pinal Creek bridge. Some have yentured in close touch with the creek bed and may be sorry some day for their temerity. It is succession of buildings to and below the Buffalo shelter, only few, however, of value above a thousand dollars. The growth is there, if not in high figures.
 To the west, via Broad street from the bridge to the depot the Miners Union two.story brick is observed, ] the Pascoe stores, one soon to be oc- cupied by branch of the Cyclone store of Stafford. Several small brick buildings, all occupied, are to be seen | along towards the o. D. store. Next to this new building is under way. Opposite is the Bank of Globe build ing, the institution is an innovation of less than two years. Passing on west is the Hitchcock new drug store and the l. o. o. F. building, and beyond the new Catholic church.
 On the hills, especially east of Broad street, are score of new build ings, while on the west side the twenty -thousanddollar school house is conspicuous There is certainly one need, and that is new court house, though the county officials can pos sibly follow their various vacations under the old roof until their terms terminate.
 Taking all things into consideration, the town of Globe has made rapid ad- vancement since 1898, and in respect to the personnel of business men the changes in the three years is also notable. Probably the change in this channel is greater in Globe than is apparent in other towns in the south ern section. In view of the ups and downs of Globe, incident to the clos ing down of the smelterS, it appears singular that q tendency to branch out is at all manifest The average Globeite is alive and kicking and you cannot down him.
 Frank Bettman was one of a dozen drummers who just happened in' one day last week. Frank, like others of his class, is always on the lookout for a good hotel. l was at dinner one evening with the veteran traveller and J. N. Porter occupied seat at our table. Frank asked Porter what he thought the chances were for good hotel in Globe. The banker replied that he would give up the bank site and take stock in such an enterprise, and there may be d new hotel.
 The United Globe Mines is only shipping ore and at the Old Dominion but one furnace is in action There is said to be about 600 men on the pay rolls, collectively. In tine district the grand total of employees and pros pectors is said to exceed l,O00, to in- clude those at the Black Warrior, Copper Hill, Cole X Goodwins camp. etc. The ores at the Old Dominion, being extracted at this writing, are of the Jerome class, though not yet in great yolunne.
 Mrs. Kinney, who is waiting for Si0O,OOO on her fourteen copper claims over near the Ray, has leased her hotel to Miss Dean and Mrs. King. late of Wilcox. They have opened new dining hall on the premises.
