port has it that at conference of the

THE NEW STRIKES.
John Patterson, the stage man. got in
from San Pedro last night and confirms
the report, brought up Yesterday by sam
Baldwin, that fine strike had been made
i'll the Bullion claim, one mile west OF the
Lucky This is the property in which
Col. Johnson recently bought third in
terest. Mr.. Patterson inspected some OF
the ore from the new strike and reports
1t very similar to the ore in the Lucky.
As far as opened, ut adcpth Of only seven
teen feet, the orc body is four feet wide
carrying streak twenty-five inches wide
Of high grade galcna The working force
has been increased and the strike has
created as much excitement in the camp
as did the original discovery Of the Lucky.
MIR, Patterson SAYS the Black Hawk
and Il gold claim known as the Apex are
also coming in for much attention just
now. The former has improved steadily
since work began on it. The Apex is near
the top Of San Pedro mountain and is
owned by the Santa Fe Copper COMPANY.
It is now being opened under tho super
intendency OF O. W. Alexander, prepare
tory to getting out ore with which to start
up the company's twenty stamp mill On
Thursday evening the miners at work in
the forty foot tunnel broke through to a
fine body of gold bearing quartz. No as
says have yet been made OF the quart,
but the vein is clearly defined and is iIlly
eight feet chick.
THE BLACK HAWK NEXT.
The secret OF II. T. Wright's sudden
return to Santa Fe from San Pedro yes
terday leaked out last night. One thing
that brought him back, evidently, was
what he had seen in the Black Hawk
upon his return to the camp on tuesday.
What he really saw can only be sur
missed, but at any rate he came at once
to the city and made an offer of $4,000
for half interest i'll the Black Hawk,
and when this WAS declined he doubled
the offer. The proposition was made to
c. NJ. Dreamer and Howard Vaughn,
Three weeks ago they agreed to put $500
each into development work on this mine
for a certain interest. To date they have
expended less than 800 each, and last
night they had the nerve to decline Mr.
Wright's offer of $4,000 for their interest
in the property.
