ASSESSMENT WORK.
The mountains and desert are just
now full of miners doing their assess
ment work.
The Black Hawk Gold company has a
number of men at work.
A rich strike was made by o. G. Leach
and Joe McDermott on one of the claims
of the company. A very large body of
ore consisting of silver and gold was
found. This is a new feature. which
will add much value to the already large
property. The find clears up the mys-
terry of the rich float found by Barney
Carter, Quartz Wilson and others, as the
ore is the same as found by them and
other prospectors in time gone by.

RICH GOLD STRIKE.
The Phoenix, A. T., Gazette says:
Harry Horsekworthes came down from
the Weaver district Yesterday after a
load of goods for his brothers. store. He
reports rich strike in the placer dig
gings up there, and nuggets weighing
four and seven ounces are being taken
out. A Mexican who had been working
in the lower end of the district struck a
rich "pay streak" the other day, that
caused general stampede to the spot,
and claims were staked off in every di-
rection. There were several hundred
dollars of gold dust brought into
Phoenix and sold to Goldman & Co.,
some of the nuggets brought in weigh
ing six ounces. There have been thou
sands of dollars of the precious stuff |
taken out of these diggings in years
past, but there has never been such
rich strike as this one made before.
There are more men working in the dis
trict this winter than there has been
for years and they are all making good |
wages. Including Americans and Mexi-
cans it is estimated that at least l75 men
are placering, besides large number of |
quartz miners and prospectors, who are
meeting with more or less success in |
their search for the hidden treasure.
MIR. Horsekworthes will start back today |
with four horse team load of pro- |
visions and tools. There are several |
mining men preparing to visit the scene
of operation.
