Year: 1876

NIT. Thos. Ewing returned from the Globe district on Thursday and gives us some positive and reliable informa- ton in regard to mines and mining there. Globe district has never before looked so permanently prosperous as now. While there has been but little newspaper talk about operations there, and mining district weekly letters" tor " weakly ") have not figured prominent ly in pubic prints, matters have moy- ed on with the stolid surety of per manent and great mineral wealth at- taining certain prosperity.

 Globe city wears the appearance of & thriving mining camp. There are now two stores, a number of saloons, and new buildings are constantly going up. Everything about the place looks bright and encouraging and to one who is familiar with the appearance of live Nevada mining camp in the olden time, the Globe is full of sugges- tiveness. There are two mills in the town and one smelling furnace, nearly completed There is another furnace at the Wheatfield. The three stamp mill was to commence running on the 16th of this month. The six stamp mill will start November 1. The two fur naces amount to about 10 tons capac- Iity. These are solid and cheering facts and are somewhat better than ink developments and prosperity.

 The mines which are being actively worked at present are the Richmond and its 1st Extension East, the Buck eye, Champion, Little Mack, Stone wall, and Blue Bird. At the Champion they are running two arastras, taking IOut about a 1000 ounces of the finest silver a week. At the Ramboz and

 Rescue everything is looking finely, DuJ OhlhS lO bhC hlSAhouoSChl " lsome of the owners these claims were idle, but would be running again in a few days. The Richmond, Ramboz,

 First Extension Richmond, Champion, Little Mack, Blue Bird and Buckeye

 have each from to 10 tons of first and lsecond class ore on hand, and awaiting shipment In Richmond Flat much

 ore is being taken out in the shape of

 chlorides. The deposits lie in shelves like slate coal. You pass through one layer and after digging few feet further

 down you come to another shelf of lthe same mineral and so on inde- lfinitely. Whether these are deposits

 by themselves or stringers leading to , some great main vein is undetermined as yet. These chlorldes,are immensely

 rich, ranging from one to ten thousand

 dollars per ton and it is believed the ore will average three thousand dollars a ton. It is for all the world like the

 deposits of Chloride Flat in White Pine which created such furore.

 While the mineral showing is so fine lin Globe district and while a number

 of men are constantly and energetically , at work, too many of the miners are pur suing bad policy. They get out flew tons of rich ore and then sit down , alongside of it and wait for some one , to come along and buy their ore or the whole mine, or are waiting for the mills to commence. All this time of Iidleness 1t costs them to live, so that they are constantly running into debt

 and doing nothing to gain headway While they are waiting for the mills and purchasers, how much better would ' It be to continue working their ledge end constantly adding to their hoard

 of bright shining ore against the day

 of sale or working.
