The SacatOn, Quacharty. Grey Ea-
 gle and other Mines.

snort ana precise account Of Jhelr Sltua- ton, location and present state of develop ment. The mines are situated in @ small range of mountains lying about twenty six miles south of Sacaton station on the Gila, and about twenty-three miles west and five miles south of Picacho station.
 On the lst day of February, 1873, David acting for Peter Forbach, located in his name the discovery lode on the Sac atOn and named it Sacaton, On the same day Andrew Starrar located the first east ern extension of the Sacaton, and on that day c. B. Collins and c. E. Clarke located six hundred feet west of and adjoining the discovery claim. On the 2d of February,
 MT. Shultes, still acting for himself and other parties, located the discovery claim on the Quacharty for Jacob Starrar, and for himself the first western extension of the Quacharty. (We spell Quacharty as it is spelled in the location, but the proper orthography of the word is QuajateO The discovery claim on the Quacharty lies south of the first eastern extension of the SacatOn, and it's first western extension lies south of the discovery claim on the Sacaton, and the vein of the Quacharty runs into the SacatOn a short distance west of the FOrbach claim, and crops out for a distance of seven hundred feet, all of which, except that lying west oft, is in- clEded in the location made on the Saca- ton in the name of Peter Forbach. All of these locations were made under the Act of nf a,,I of fifteen hundred by six hun- dred, except that of Collins and Clark. On the 8th of March, 1873, Peter Forbach located claim on the Grey Eagle, which occupies the same ground as hIs location Of the SacatOn-the veins of the Sacaton and Grey Eagle being close together and running almost parallel. The Grey Eagle runs into the SacatOn on the six hundred feet located by Collins and Clark, so that in fact the location made by Peter For bach embraces in the six hundred by if teen hundred feet, the SacatOn, Grey Ea- gle and Quacharty, in all thirty seven hundred feet of rich mineral veins; and the six hundred feet of Collins and Clark also embraces at their junction all three
 veins. The Sacaton is about nine feet wide at top and twelve feet at twenty-five feet down. The Grey Eagle is about ten feet wide at top, and the Quacharty three feet at top and four feet at eighteen feet deep.
 Soon after these locations were made, operations were commenced by Andrew Starrar, who sunk a shaft on the Sacaton
 ffty-two feet. The vein is we'll defined and the wall rock good. The mineral
 near the top was rich galeDa, changing however, as depth was gained, into chlo-
 rides, sulphurets and finally assuming somewhat of a rock formation. Assays
 have been made showing the vein to be
 very rich. One lately made, shows'over Sl000 to the ton. Early in this year David commenced sinking on the Qua sionally up to this time. and for the last month or two, almost continuously.
 On the 14th of last March, Maj. Taylor
 purchased of Peter Forbach one undivid- ed half of the Sacaton, and soon after men were put to work on it, there having
 been but little done up to that time. There
 has even yet been but little work put on the vein. So far, however, as work has progressed, the prospect is excellent. Af- ter the purchase of Forbach's interest by Taylor, a dispute arose in regard to the of the Quacharty, Forbach and Taylor claiming under the location of Forbach on the Sacaton, and Shultes claiming on his location of it. This dis pute caused Q suspension of operations for and litigation seemed to be i'm but as all parties knew the retard- ing influence of law suits, early in July was made by Taylor and Shul- tes, Forbach consenting, whereby Shultes agreed to convey to Taylor, upon sale of the SacatOn by Forbach and Taylor MT. Shultes being guaranteed the right to mine on the Quacharty during the life of the agreement, and to have all he could take out. MT. Shultes then went to work with will on the Quacharty, and soon shipped some very rich ore, but as yet has received no returns. He has now gone down from eighteen or twenty feet, and has taken out eighteen to twenty tons of very rich ore. Assays have been made showing the rock to be vastly rich, rum hing from $500 to Sl0,000 to the ton of silver md from fifteen to nineteen per cent. oI copper. The vein is well defined and the wall rock smooth and good. The rich- less and extent of the vein are increasing 1
