Mohave County miner., 1892-06-25

with me because had known them for
long time and they we're my friends
and wanted to share my good fortune
with them. think solomon was right
when he said that "a good mine 10 where
you find H." Solomon was the wisesi
prospector as well ~ the wisest-man.
People say have located everything in
sight. They misreprese;.t me when they
say that--there is plenty OF ground all
around here that is not located, ground
enough so that everybody can have a
claim. Originally we had twenty To-
cations but tore down the monuments
on six OF them and now We only have
fourteen claims. Some dirty stinkers
have been trying to jump some Of my
ground but will fool them, will law
them till l spend every dollar I am
worth but will never give up cent to
compromise. l will take my suit to San
Francisco to the U. s. court where they
wont have money enough to 60" The
little Judge was very irate At the way he
had been treated by those whom he says
he took to be his friends.
After cooling off . little with q few
bottles Of the Judges cool beer, we start
ed off over the hills to look at the bon
anzas. They were there all Of them, for
none had gotten away, although few
had more than one location notice on
them. The first claim We came to on
the north side Of Treasure Gulch is the
Norma, owned by Henry Schaefer. This
claim, like all the rest. runs east and
west, heading in the contact between the
porphyry AMI granite on the east and
running west almost directly across the
low range Of granite hills till it disap-
pears under the debris and wash in the
valley below. The Norma shows
vein Of an average OF two feet in width,
Of which about eight inches Is rich
chloride and horn silver ore that will
not average less than 800 ounces OF silver
per ton. The vein showing this kind OF
ore crops out for over five hundred feet
in length, SO estimating what is actually
in sight and allowing ten feet in depth
would be 1888 tons OF 500 ounce ore or
266, 400 ounces OF silver.
Next to the north and parallel is the
Schaeier's Treasure owned by Schaefer.
This shows two parallel veins one Of
which has an average Of 10 inches, the
other OF inches Of ore that will safely
60 600 ounces. There is also ut least
800 feet Of these veins cropping on the
surface. Figuring this on the same
basis AS the Norma, would be 634 tons
at 600 ounces per ton-3S0, 700 ounces.
The African is an extension west OF the
Norma and shows at least 100 feet Of
groupings on two small veins that to-
gether may he safely estimated at six
inches Of 1000 ounce ore. Ten feet In
depth on this basis would be so tons,
containing $4,000 ounces. The Garfield
is vein lying between the African and
G. A. X. and shows six inch streak of
800 ounce ore for 100 feet on the surface.
This would be 10000 ounces in sight
within ten feet Of the surface. The G.
A. X. with its two parallel veins about
nifty feet apart, is the west extension of
the Shaefer's Treasure and shows more
ore than any other claim in the camp
thus far discovered. There is an eight
foot vein where the centre monument
stands and where little work has been
done, two feet Of which is rich horn sill
yer ore. The horn silver occurring m
little crystals about the size OF No. 9
shot thickly distributed through the soft
porous quartz. Placing 1t as low as
possible there is l6 inches Of 800 ounce
ore showing on the surface for 1000 feet
in one vein and half that amount in the
other. In many places the ore crops out
four feet above the surface. Thus is 1000
tons containing 500 900 ounces.
South OF Treasure Gulch the Horn Sill
yer shows 200 feet of an 18 inch streak
OF 600 ounce ore. This is 300 tons con-
tanning 100000 ounce silver. The Occi.
dent shows nearly six inches Of 500
ounce ore for 100 feet, or $1,000 ounces
in so toas.
All Of these claims with the exception
Of the first two, the Norma and Treasure,
are owned jointly by schsefer, Sullivan
and Birnett. Near the mouth OF the
gulch on the north side, is the Prince
Albert owned by Robert Patterson, Sol
