 EDITOR CITIZEN The place iron z which I write is situated about sever miles northeast from Globe City, oi the east side of the quartzite noun tain, and one mile and half north O Mineral hIll where the famous Byrol and Bix5y mines are situated. It de rives its name from one of the fortunat, discoveries of the Silver Era and Etni mines, R. II. Watson, Esq, who nc doubt deserves some honors for beins the first discoverer of silver on tht !

 There seems to be some misunder standing in the newspapers with re gard to the different mines and camps in this vicinity of which I will herC make brief explanation.

 The following named mines arc located on the quartzite mountain com mencing at the southern end and go ing north, viz: First, is the Jackson second, Stewart; third, Johnson; fourth Buck Horn; fifth, Julian; sixth, Chlo ride; seventh, McNelley; eighth Mountain View; ninth, Silver Era tenth, Eina; eleventh, Webster.

 Mineral Hill is a detached mound to itself about half mile south of the quartzite. The general impression abroad seems to be that the quartzitc and Mineral Hill are one and the same ledge which is not the case.

 However, 1 am drifting from my original subject. Speaking of Wat. sonville, it contains a good hotel, a sa- loon, blacksmith shop, &c. The hotel business is conducted by Mrs. Lar comb, who always employs the best cooks-prepares her food a Ia mode serves it in the best style and charges the most moderate prices.

 The mines still continue to look well and the developments of each day seems 10 inspire new hope and greater confidence in the value and permanen. cy of our mines. The miners have gone to work in earnest; they no lon ger set and wait for bogus California capitalists to come and buy them out on jawbone and pay them when they make il out of the property, or bilk some innocent parties out of the wherewith 10 meet their obligations If these eXpedients fail they never pay cent. The merchants, too, here are beginning to see the reality of advan- tages offered them by uniting with the miners, and providing them with all necessary tools and supplies to develop their mines. In fact all classes are be- gining to unite in our great common cause They are leading out now hand in hand to battle with the great nat ural disadvantages with which we have to contend in the development of one of the richest mineral districts in the United States. But, our draw backs are very great when we take into consideration the high prices that we have 10 pay for every article that We consume or transport away, and we are not even furnished with sui ficient mail facilities 10 carry out let ters to our kindred and friends abroad, but it is to be hoped that this great evil will be remedied before long. Our delegate in Congress should see to it, for the increase of population and business demands the change of mail service from weekly 10 semi or tri-weckly as soon as possible. The present miserable weekly mall retards business enterprises and is an injury to| all branches of industry.

 The Miami mill is running steady, and I believe giving general satisfac- ton. Money is becoming more plenti- ful every day. In fact, the changeI here in business circles is wonderful. I visited Globe City on Sunday last and 1 was surprised at the vast amount of business that 1 saw transacted dur ing the day. It is my candid opinion that there is more bartering done thereI in one day at the present time than there was this time last year in d month. A good staunch miner who has a mIne can now go to Globe and get what he wants with or without the money, which was not the case last year. For everybody now is beginning to realize the fact that we must unite and pull together, and with harmony and unity we must and will prosper $ Poco tiempo, pOco mas
