LDiIOk OIIlLEN --- Nuy IS II Nudt you knights of the quill cannot forego the pleasure of stage riding in a new country like this, where every second scrub oak has Dick Tnrpin, fixed up like an animated arsenal, lurking be- hind ready to roar with stentorian lungs, "your money or your life ?" The general public would not be like ly to know then that you belonged to the great army of the poor. We won't allow our editorial friends of the Sil- yer Belt to leave here upon any ac- count, if there's any virtue in writ of habeas corpus, because some fellow who carries communistic ideas a little further than Dennis KearLey might make them stand and dali.eF, and thgs spy out the nakedness of our land. If l were the high priest of an edito- rial sanctum I would never be absent from home unless it was when some irate opponent, whose fighting weight was greater than mine, wanted to in- terview me with a double barreled shot gun or a horsewhip.

 On behalf of the good people of Globe l must protest against your writing any more local paragraphs about peaches and grapes-its terribly aggravating. Well, if you are luXu- riating in fruits we are drawing in long exhiliarating draughts of fresh pure mountain breezes. You folks in Florence must be pretty nearly reduc- ed to first principles by this time from the heat. Before the rain came on it was warm enough here to make fel- low get in a shady spot and curse the clerk of the weather, and think there must be some truth in the story about the man who died in Arizona and hay ing brought up in the place that's pay ed with good intentions, sent back af- ter his blankets.

 There is nothing out of the ordinary to report in mining matters. Captain Pearson has assumed the control of the Buckeye mine and has ten men employed. From the appearance of the mine at present it is safe to say that the Captain will soon be able to send satisfactory report to the own CTS.

 Hayes & Buck intend shipping ore to San Francisco shortly They have drifted forty feet into the hill at the Julius mine and left the ore standing the whole length. It IS principally metallic, and from recent assays gives over $lO,O0O per ton. They have about thirty sacks in their assay office that will give at least $15,OO0

 David Beardsley is making some de- velopments on the Chrome and Lazy Bob mines, and will soon have work for a good force of men.

 Coplin and Cox found about fifty pounds of the richest sort ot float on their mine. It had been exposed so | long to the action of the weather that all the gangue had worn out and left the metal looking like petrified sponge. l In prospecting for the lead they have found several small strata of very rich ore.

 l 1 understand that the force of men on the Stonewall has been reduced to about twenty, owing to the meagre fa- cilities for hoisting. As soon as that ! is remedied they will push matters and place the mine among the best in the

 world.

 NIilner & Watson are going to take welLearned vacation. They have just had twenty-two tons of ore work

 ed which will yield about 96OO ounces. The mine (Silyer Eral is looking as

 well as ever, and is good for many a

 big run yet.

 The Hannibal mine machinery is al

 work and in a few days they will be

 taking out plenty of ore.

 ! The Mccormack mine from which some very rich ore was taken during the time it was leased by Lemon and

 Price, is making quite a stir again After the expiration of the lease oI bond. don't know which, the proper tv reverted to its original owners | NIessrs. Hammond and Read They r have sunk on the main vein fifty fee from the small seam where the Othel parly took out ore and have found and are taking out ore that carries S54 1T free gold to the ton, while an assay o ten different specimens of the ledge matter gives an average of S102 in sil yer I have not heard whether it wa
