COL. HODOE?AT FLORENCE XSD THESILVER KINO.

Florence, A. Oct. 1, 1876.

Editor Miner: I arrired at this livelyflourishing village about a week since, thehave been busily engaged looking overtown, noting the many improvements

made the past year, gathering statistics, ofvisited the Silver King mine, which is aid

aome 35 miles a northeast course from Flor-

ence. theThe Globe District ia some 40 miles a

northeast course from the Silver King, andthough I much regret not having time to

visit the District, I have had the good fortune of much conversation with several in be

telligent and reliable gentlemen just in from

there, wno spc i in ine uiguesi terras ui mc

many rich lodes now being opened ther.one-ha- lf of what they tll me is true

and I have no right to doubt their veracity asii a most wonderful mineral district.

Rich lodes have been discovered there, cov forering a belt of country some 12 by 20 miles.

Some two to three hundred miners arc, saidnow to be in the District, immense quan

tities of rich silver ore is scattered at differ

ent points in "planches," something similarthe noted "Planches La Platte," lound a

long time since, 4 miles South of the Arizonaline, in Sonora; and many persons make it his

business to hunt for these "planches,"with iniod .success. A Mexican came in

rfrom there yesterday with some large speci

mens broken from a "planches" boulderwoirfhinrr some four tons. This boulder is

0 0literallv a man of horn-silve- r. Many othcm, large and small, have been found, and

several mining claims have been located"plaucha claims" or silver dry-diggin-

Several small lota of ore fioin the Globe

District a few tons each have been shipped to San Francisco, which h:is been sold

prices from $1,000 to $2,98G per ton. No

one can tell of the future possibilities of the

Districthe makc3 fine showing,

and I have no hesitation in saying, that for

the amount of work done, and extent ofworking, there is no instance in the history

mining where so much in actual value has

been realized as from the Silver King. Thework accomplished is as follows: Two

shafts one of 105 and one of 40 feet, 500

feet of tunnels: Shipment of ore to San

VrnnrUm. Ml tons: Actual cold value ofantnp. over 41GO.000. The vein matter is

now assuming a definite form and appearance of a fissure vein, and in this respectlooks far more promising for permanencythan when I examined it some monthssince. The mine was discovered and loca-

ted March 22d, 1875, but a little over 18

months since by Chas. Mason, B. W. Rca

nan, Win. Long, and Isaac Copcland. June2Cth, Messrs. Long and Copcland sold outto the other partner for $40,000 in goldcoin each, and half the ore that came out

making to each, about $05,000. Messrs

Mason and Reagan arc now working 128

men paying from two to three dollars per

dav and board. The width ot the minewhich is being worked, is 87 feet; and thisvfin-matter- is all taken to the assorting pile

thc orc ?s .cparated into 1st, 2d, and

Brad for shipment -- all ore under $1,000

per ton being reserved for future workinThe first-cla- ss now assays an average o

5.R00. the second-clas-s $1,900, and thethird-clas- s $1,200 per ton. Besides these

three classes, they arc saving the richest ofthc antimonial silver, silver glance, and

nugget ore, and have now in sack one ton of

this selected ore, which goes by assay over

$12,000 per ton. Thc assaycr, II. Kearsing,

is well qualified for his position, and has

been several year in the mint at San Frau-cisc- o.

There is now on thc dump-pile- , byestimate, over one thousand tons of mineral,giving an average assay of $150 per ton,kept for future working,

There are now m Florence 4 stores, a

brewery, a livery stable several, saloonn, one

restaurant, and a good hotel kept by my

old friend Ellivct, who seems to give satisfaction to all.

Thc wheat and barley crop in thc GilaValley is estimated at 5,000,000 pounds,and good in qnality. The corn crop will

irobably yield two to three million pounds.

Many new buildings have been erected. .a a a

THE HUMAN CRT FOR HELP.

FROSt A LADY CORRESPONDENT.

TYc are all dependent beings. It was unhere

doubtedly the design of the Creator, from

beginning of time, that every personshould, in some way, be dependent upon hisellow creatures for help. In every period

arethe World we find this desire for humangrowing stronger and stronger. As the

population of the World has increased, andwil

social and moral condition become bet-

ter developed, this relation between man andfew

man, this mutual dependence, one uponanother, has alio increased.

To "live in peace with all men," woulda thing almost, if not quite impossible,

were it not for this interchange of reliance.The beautiful designs of the Divine One arenever-failin- g, and this indissoluble tie i3

binding individuals and Nations together,surely as time is moving on. Nation

calla upon Nation, and man calls upon manhelp. So long a3 peace and plenty

reign, a country can sustain itself, and will

not ask more than it can give; but wlien

war and famine spread desolation over thehe

and, then comes the cry for help. Thethe

voice of humanity calls upon us to relieve

thc distressed at all times and in all places.Thc patriot is called upon to help defend

country, and to defend th right. Jus-

tice and right cannot be maintained unlessthe just and the true combine their strength

and influence for thi3 purpose. It 1? by the Icombined efforts of individuals that most tlic

every purpose and every design is accom

plished iu the lesser as well as the greater as

works of life.The most common forms of knowledge the

are so widely circulated at the present time

that a people can make their wants more ex-

tensively known than formerly. In every

newspaper that comes from thc press, we

see columns devoted to the common cry for

help. Something or some one is wanted. all,

Most eery person has the capacity fordoingomething. Those who cannot cngago in

the gruater works of life, can employ them- -of

9oles in thc lesser. There is some one lorevery position. Those who help themselveshelp other.

comforts that he has, and which may le all

that he desires, or all that he is capable of

enjoying. He it. dcjcndcnt, though it be

in a very small degree, upon ins Jellow-ma- n.

Attempts have been made by individualsto live independently of society, but it is

.ntiriv p.iitr.r to nuture. and in most

instances we find them becoming discon

tented with their mode of life. A ship

wrecked mariner cut on a lonely island,

hopes, longs, and prays for deliverance from

bin solitary and undesirable home. uodeeply does he feel, now, if never before,

thc worth of human help. How fully doe

he realize his own helplessness and how

happy would he be to have one rational

being near to help him Ixar the burden of

solitude, and share hi hoj mid fear..

A ship upon the sra pursues her course

I.ETTEK FROST VERDE.

Camp Verde, A. T., Oct 15, 1576.

Editor Mtneb: Captain Porter, who lefta few days ago in command ofscouting

party, returned on the 13th inst. Theykilled eight renegades and captured twosquaws near the head of Tonto creek. They

known as the Indians who killedThomas Hammoud, prospectorin September.

W. S. Head returned Wednesday butHeave to morrow again for Prescott.

Rains have been visiting us for the pastdays, making the roads excessively

heavy.Prof. Loughmuller, recently of Califor-

nia, has finally succeeded in getting enoughscholars in Lower Verde, to pay him anadequate compensation. From wkat I canascertain I should judge the Proffessor is anexcellent teacher; what we want now is aPost school at Camp Verde.

E. S. Penwell, candidate sor County Re-

corder, accompanied by Frank Murray, CityMarshal of Prescott, visited us a few weeks

ago. The people of this vicinity are very

favorably impressed with Mr. Penwell andwill undoubtedly get over two-thir- ds ofvotes of Verde and its vicinity.

Judge G. II. Oury, candidate for Con-

gress was here the first of the month. TheJudge is a capital good fellow, and will un-

doubtedly get his share in this vicinity.

Ill health and circumstances over whichhave no control, compel me to relinquish

pen as correspondent of thc Miner fromCamp Verde, aud if in discharging my duty

correspondent, I have without cause,

written or said anything that would injureperson, property, or good name of any

individual, I humbly aud sincerely ask theirforgiveness. To the editor and all the em-

ployees of the office, I return my heartfeltthanks for favors received, and for the kind-

ness, patience and forbearance which youand always have shown to me, Gentle-

men, I thank you. To all thc readers of theMiner, especially to those talented "corres-

pondents who from time to time, contributetheir time and talents for our amuse-

THE NEW DEr.VttTORE.

The establishment of the new Board inNew York suggests to us many things. It

as a matter of course, an experiment atits start, and did we juugo irom ine oniyseemingly parallel ca3e which we have, tneestablishment 01 tne Virginia uoaru, noilikely to be a great success. But, as wo

.aid a few days ago, the difficulties which at-

tend the Nevada' institution, and which, infact, arose as much from the too great prox-imity of the two places, arose becauseNevada was the place where the informationabout the mines came from, while San Fran-

cisco fixed the price of the stocks, are notlikelv to interfere very much in the Easternproject. In New York the news from SanFrancisco and the news from Nevada will belooked upon as thc information which woreceive from the lafler place is by us. Thetwo will not be incompatible in any way;thf v will be simply the two parts of onething, the two factors which make up thafinancial situation. The Eastern operatorscan therefonn form their own prices, maketheir own markets, in precisely the samemanner in which we do. It is only that theywould have to take two thing3 into consid-

eration instead of one. One of the mostnceiiliar thintrs about thc new Board is therevolution which it will produce inths NewYork system of speculating. A few daysxo we" received the news of a panic in thoNew York stock Market. What was thereason? Simply because the different coalsecurities fell in price 13 per cent We can-

not imagine anything more astonishing tothe averairc Eastern mind than the fluctua--

tions in prices wlncn we nave ncre, anuwhere, instead of the chance for a turn af-

forded by changes in prices of a half to one

per cent," the differences in thc day's salesamounts to from three to twenty per cent.It has been urged that the Eastern capitalist are far too cautious men to engage inanv enterprise iu which there are such vari-

ations constantly to be anticipated; but thisidea is at once so alwurd and so conceitedthat we will waste but little time in answer-in- "

it. Do California imagine that theyare tlic onlv people in the world that haresufficient courage to unaeriase a nnanciaiadventure because there ia danger of loss ordo they think that when the men who areused to dealing in stocks see the value ofsecurities mounting up day by day, givingto their fortunate possessors a fortuneeverv twenty-fou- r hours, that thesemen" will not put in their lot with the placewhere such things can be done? Either one

of these suppositions would be manifestlyridiculous. Speaking of the fortunes whicharc lost and won in thc New York stockmarket in fluctuations whlcn cio not exceeatwo, three or four per cent., we cannot helpthinking of the amount of capital whichthev have invested. Of course every oneof our readers knows that for every one hun-

dred" dollars in the busines", operators canswing five although thc remaining four mustbe somewhere, cither in the banks or securi-

ties, for the moment that the price of stocksgets beyond thc value which can be gpt forthem, thc moment that the credit which isused so largely is overdrawn, that momentthe market is upon tho verge 01 tne precipice of financial rum. Ana tne reason is
