The Town of Florence---Its Pavorable Location, Agricnltnral Advan- Special Correspondence of The Tribune. fLORENCE, A. T., April 10.—The country tound sbout Florence is attracting more atten-~ don just now than any other section of the Ferritory, for the rezson that it is near the rich~ :st mining districts yet discovered, besides be- ‘mg-the centre of a fine farming region. While ihe mountains of every portion of the Territory show very rich silver and gold bearing ore in arge quantities, nowhere has it been found so marvelously prolific as in the ‘“Globe” and % Pioneer ¥ &tfim northeast of this village. Fromn these districts, for the past two years, some of the most wonderful specimens have “been brought. Nuggets of pure native silver and ~ quartz, assa nearl; urt -taken from 3": various ms i{n Ehcsee' distri and exhibited in San Francisco, ots, have set the shrewd, mouney-making Fraticiscans on the quivie of expectation, and started ont an army of prospectors and capitalistic agents 1o buy up locations of the poor prosg)ccwru who haven’t the capital to work them. Much of the money that has been speculating on California streetis secking legitimate investment in the development of Arizona mines. This region is ‘very mountainous, and has been for years the stronghold of the Apaches. ‘It was as much as a white man’s life was worthto venture there, and what prospecting was done prior to '75 had to be undertaken by strong bands, and even then'it was verivr‘!)zmrdcus Every mining party that returned from this wild region reported evidences of vast riches in the mountains from the croppings which were exposed, and many brought back nuggets of pure silver to prove their assertions. In the fall of 74, i FIVE DARING MINERS ‘Went into this region and spent several months in the White Mountains, until the Apaches killed one of their number and drove the others out. As the four were prospecting along on their way to this place, on the 22d'of March, 1875, they came upon very rich croppings at a spet about thirty miles northeast’ of Florence. ‘They spent soms time in further investigation, and finally, belteving they had struck the bo- nanza they had been so long in search of, located what is now the ‘ Silver King” mine—the richest vet developed in Arizona. These four men were Isaac Copelsnd, W. H. Lun%; B. W. , and Charles G. Mason. They began at -once to develop their mine, and by their united labor, during the first nine mouths, took out and sold ore that netted them $90,000. Tae -Tock was of marvelous richness, far supassing m&:?i known in the nistory of silver- . mf the United States, and, instantly its ~surprising value became kunown, there wasgreat excitement throughout the T'erritory and in ali the mining centres of the coast. The district, 10w termed the ‘“Pioneer” district, was overrun by prospectors, and hundreds of claims were Jocated, many now being worked, but most of which. on account of their dgmt distance away, 3ack of transportation, and the limited means ~of their owners, are temporarily lying idle. ‘While the “Silver King* was the first mine Jocated in this district, it was not the first dis- rcovered. The * Silver Queen,” about a mile and a half from the “King,” was discovered ully nim belokr’:inzut. was nogllomm dthen, -as the Apaches, very troublesome, drove “the discoverers away. But they have since lo- cated their claim, which is probably on the same Jesdves the - King,” and which, when develop- ed, will most, ukfl,y rove as rich as that. , | But the “Kinz? had not been worked many -months before some of the owners became un- -easy, and wished to be on the tramp again in search of the fabulous mountain of pure silver. ‘The trouble was, they had not the means requisite to work the mine as it shonld be, or to pot thelr ore in the Francisco market, So Co d sold out to Mason in August, 1876, and Long s0ld to Rearan. In December, 1876, Mason sold his half to Col. James M. Barney, of Yuma, - ror $300,000, and Barney and Reagan are now the sole own- ers of the bonanza. Up to this time the mine had been but poorly worked, and only partial- 1y opened. The shait was down only about 100 feet, and all the ore was raised by hand wind- lass, but therc was mno sign of any di- minution in either the quality or quantity. Ton after ton was removed which as- sayed way up in the thousands, rangin, from $1,000 to $34,000. Since the mine passe into the possession of Col. Barney and Mr. Reagan, the work of developing it has progress- ed more actively and more intelligently. The new firm had sbundance of capital. © The shaft has now reached a depth of 200 feet, and gal- leries are thuroughly opened in different direc- tions. Thus far the fears of some that the mine, on account of its wonderful richness, would not lust, are not confirmed. On the contrary, there is every indication that the veins extend to a very great depth, and that_they will increase in ricliness 2s they desvcend. _The * King ™ cannot be said to have been worked at all as yet. All the ore thus far removed has been taken from the shaft and from the leries opened for the purpose ot developing the mine. * What it may roduce when systematically worked may be udged from the following fizures, which give THE NET RECEIPTS from the rock raised from the mine by hand windlassduring the twenty-fivemonths that have elapsed since {ts discovery. shipped by wagon to Yumoa, 210 miles, and thence by steamer 2,200 miles to San Francisco, where it was sold to the Tighest bidder: . ‘From the 22d of March, 1875, till Jan. 1, 1877,—9 months, —the -+ King " nette Daring 1876—12 months—the netted. ... coeeinennas oo \ During 1876—% ‘months—the et { Now in transitu ore that Total.. Besides , there are on, the dump at ‘the mine eome 2,400 tons of * waste,” too poor 10 ship, but assaying from $150 to $400 per ton, which will be worked with profit when the Com- pany erects its mills, and which should be placed * Zo the credit of the mine. As the reader can readily belicve, ore must be very rich that will pay to ship that long dis- tance. THE COST . of 1a every ton of ore down at the wharf in San Francisco is about $100. ¥rom the mine to Yuma it 1s bauled by sistcen-mule teams ata cost of $65 per ton; from Yuma to San Frau- cisco it costs $10 per ton; to which add $25 per ton for crushing, sa.mJ)ling, assaving, rocking, and insurance. This does mot inviude the ex- pense of mining and other expenses, interest on the capital iuvested, etc., etc., but simply of getting the ore to market. Miners’ wavzes are $5 per day. These fignres I have from Col. Barney, and they mnyfve relied on as correct. Heretofore most of the ore of Arizona bas been shipped by water to San Francisco,—a long, wdgous, and uncertain route, but henceforth Col. Barney tells me he will ship by rail, since the Southern Pacific Railroad is so nearly com- pleted to the river; and so.probably will all other shippers. The freight charges will be about the same by rail as by water. A great sav- ing of time will thus be gained. In anotherre- spect, too, the Southern Pacific will be a great aid to the development of the “Silver King,” and, in fact, all other Arizons mines, for it fur- nishes 2 quick and cheap means of getting ma- chinery, of which most mines in the Territory are entireiy destitute. The * Silver King is to be eguipped soon with steam-hoisting apparatus Snaith erushing and concentration machincry. tter will be at work within the next thirty days. By its use two tons of ore will be con- central into one, and a biz.item saved in transportation. It is designed also to ercct mills and smelting works soon. With these increased facilities Col. Barney thinks the ‘‘King” will yield $1,000,000 during the remainder of the resent vear. i It may be interesting to your readers to know how the ore is sold in San Francisco. It is shipped jn caovas sacks, holding about 100 ‘pounds each, and on its arrival in San Francisco s essayed by three different sssayers, and by others if the buyers wish it. Then it.i8 sold by sample from the assays to the hlg\:ut hir,i’der, each bidder sealing his proposal. The * Kine™ ore Drings onan average $1,400 per ton net. The least it has ever sold for is $900, 'and it bas m‘?figg from that to $1,000, $1,200, $1,500 $2.000, + 5,000, $10,000, and some 3s high g5 $16,000 per The ton. Miners and those of your readers who are posted in silver mining witl know that ore must be very rich that can fncur such expense of ship- ment, and where it yields a et return of $1.400 r ton after such chormous cxpense, it must ¢ unprecedentedly rich. { amaware that these- figrures will stagger belief, but they are correct. I'have only given the cost of transportation and miners’ wages. There is enormous expense fo- curred in working the mises of these far-a-way mountains which I cannot approximate, but which doubtless will be readily ap‘;rcclm.cd and understood. And vet the ** King? is one of the most accessiblemines in this region. Wagons can load right at the dump, and "the roads are good. To work wany of the mines hereabout, all provisions brought in and all that arc ship- ch?l out, have to be packed on the backs of mules. I have spoken more especially of tie *‘Silver King because it i8 the best developed mine in this region, if not in the Territory, and because it is best known and has created most comment in mining circles.- Its value can only be conjec- tured, but I am hazarding nothing now, sinte it is 60 well developed, in saying that the "“Silver King ” gives promise of equalinz the famous “ Consolidated Virginia,” "of Nevada, in the amount of ore it may yield. It las alrefdy far excelled it fn the oreat richness of its ore. But there arc most likely other mines in the * Pio- ueer and * Globe™ districts AS RICH 43 THE **KING." The * Silver Queen,” the “ Essex,” and the # Athens,” though only partially developed, pive evidence of equal value and extent. %hlb Sflver Queen ™ will probably be the next most noted mine. Its rock assays in the thousands, and several tons have been removed that yield- ed nearly pure silver. ‘The * Athens ” took ont 8 ton the other day that assayed $34,203.67. Pure silver ‘goes only $§37,000 to the ton. “ Athens ™ orc now beine taken out runs $4,000 right along, it is said. There are hundreds of other locations in this district, most of which are, however, not being worked from lack of the wherewithal but which show specimens as rich as the “ Silver King,” * Silver Qucen,” or “ Athens,” and which doubtless will soon be developed. I have scen most beautiful and wonderful specimens from several of these— many chunks of native virgin white sfiver, the size of an cgx; othiérs of antimonia! silver, sil- ver copper glances, malleable silver, and hand- some specimens of ruby silver—all marvelously rich. There is little “or no gold in these ores, and but little lead. I have space only to mention THE ‘‘GLOBE " DISTRICT— one of the richest, if not the very richest, in the Territory. It adjoins the “ Pioneer™ district, and is about sixty tniles northeast of Florence. Ithas no_mine as thoroughly opened as the “Silver King,” but the speciinens shown me from the ‘‘Llanelly,” the “ Chflson * claim, the “Imperial,” and **Lazy Jack " arg, if possible, richer. Mr. W. P. Phillips, part owner of the ¢ Llanelly,”” has sowe of the finest specimens 1n his cabinet from that mine I ever beheld. One large chunk of pure silver as large as a goose ege deserves to be mentioned, and so does a specimen of horn silver, four by six inches in dimensfons and an eighth of an inch thick, which he exhibited to me. The rock from this mine assays all the way from $4,000 to $30,000. A company is about to” be_formed to work the “Llanelly.” The “Imperial,” which is at pres- ent but little more than a location, sold the other day fof $20,000.. I might mention a hundred “other claims and locations equally gmmismg many of them opened from ten to fty feet, but it would only be cumulatingthe abundant evidence of the marvelous richness of these old mountains. ‘Chere are as yet only two or thrce smell mills in the ‘‘Pioncer* and “ Globe.” Inthe “Quaherty " district, aboutthirty miles west of this village, some great discoverics are reported, but I must leave further comments on this and the ‘ Globe " for & future letter. THIS PLACE has a population of about, 500 at present, mostly American, but a few Mexican. Itslocation onthie survey of the Southern Pacific, and its nearness to the great mines mentioned above, and to the very valuable farming country in_Salt River Valley, must eventually, and ~not lang hence, make it a town of considerable importance. An excellent coal vein has been discovered nut far away, and a mountainof salt on Salt River. Florence fs_distant 75 miles from Tucson, 75 miles from Pheenix, which is In_the Salt River Valley farming country, and 295 miles from Yuma. Its people are enterprising, hospita~ ble to = strangers, and public-spirited. A great many rsons aré passing here daily en route to the mines, and as this marvel~ ous wealth becomes better known, the immigra- tion is increasing. With the advent of the rail- road into the Territory, Florence will doubtless begin to assume metropolitan .airs. The rush here will be great within the year, and Florence seems to be disposed to sccommodate all who come. The nearness of the fertile Salt-River Valley and Gila Bottoms gives this region an advantage over most other parts of the Ter- ritory, in that it can supply the grain neces- sary to sustain & large population. Conse- quently living is less dear thanin somé other ‘parts where there is little grain raised, and far removed from commercial centres. Much to m surprise, I find that barley is sold here at 23| 3 ceats per pound, and flour at 6@7 cents. YeLxsias.
