organized this district which is On the
Mohave river at the old Cottonwood sta
ton. The Alabama lead is situated about
!, 900 feet from the rivers edge, and at an
elevation of about 250 feet On the north
slde OF the hill there are evidences of the
same rich deposits as have been discovered
on the south side. The ore from this lead
assays all the way from $40 per ton to
81, 100 per ton, in both gold and silver, the
being 100 per cent. more gold
than silver. The Hanky lead is seven feet
wide, with immense chimneys putting out
all along it. The rock assays from $50 to
$50 per ton, with so per cent more silver
than gold Prospeetors have located about
9, coo feet on these two leads. From Gold
Hill, which is about twenty miles north of
Blacks ranch and ninety miles from Col
ton, on the road to Panamint, they bring
specimens which are full OF free gold, and
which assay away up in the pictures The
finest specimen, however, is from the Blue
Jacket lead, five miles from Rogers sta
tion on the Mohave river. This ore assays
from Sl25 to $4,000 per ton. All of these
samples are free milling ore.
