both towns crazy. II tho stories OF prospectors
are not exaggerated. Creode itself will be out
of the race In comparison with this new silver
bonanza town.
Jared wincup. An old miner. first struck rich
slver ore In tho foothills back Of Lordsburg
last week. Two days ago ho came In with
specimens thnt assayed $500 to the ton. j.
II, Millzoner. commercial traveller. saw the
specimens. and followed the old prospoctor to
his bonanza. He uncovered lead which he
declares is richer In silver than any ore he
over snw In Colorado. He staked of n claim.
and to-day many prospectors started for tho
new camp
Tho hanging wall Of the lode is quarzite and
the foot wall is granite. What makes tho
story OF this strike plausible Is that In tho
mountain oafons whore Wincup discovered
this silver lodge. there has been tradition Tor
thirty years OF silver mine that was lost after
It's discovery by man named HentZ' one OF

sAN FnASc1soo March 27.-It Is reported
tile Hitc mine on tho south fork OF the Merced
in .Marlposa county. The mino was opened
about twonty- five years ago and has yielded
moro than So. 100000. Hitos Cove was quite
lively camp whom the mine was being worked.
but is now deserted. Tho mine nevor has
boen worked out and probably 1t could be
made to pay again.
Mariposa county is rich In mineral resources.
but tho best OF the auriferous formation Is
covered BY the old Marlposa grant. and
the ownors OF tho land under 'Fremonts
title will not allow any prospecting
or mining. and consequently there is no
development OF mining property. Even
whom tho grant owners deed town lots or
farms they reserve the IMMORAL in the ground
and the owner Of o ilfty-vara lot in the town OF
MIariposa Is not permitted to pom out the dirt
OF his own back yard. Many rich prospects
have bcen found on tho grant, but'the finders
cannot develop them and therefore keep their
locations concealed. Mr.. Hunt OF Raymond
