In this connection it is a remarkable
fact that all this vast property taxed to
support schools at Florence, does not
traverse q single section OF land from
which it would be convenient for set
tier to send child to Florence to school,
and the nearest is twenty miles or more
away. But that cuts no figure until
tiguous to the railway shall need their
own schools.
Tombstone Prospector, July 20.l
A Mexican who has horse ranch be-
low the line in Sonora near the ranch OF
j. H. Slaughter, brought word from
there yesterday of the killing of Lorenzo
Paco by man named Camachi. Paco
was known in Tombstone and Bisbee,
having resided in both places at differ
ent times. The two men had been at
outs with each other for several years.
Paco left Bisbee a few days ago, and.
reaching the mescal ranch, imbibed
freely and soon was in fighting humor.
Coming across Oamachi In an open field
and uttering imprecations upon his
head, he drew his pistol and proceeded
to blaze away. Camachi was unarmed,
but did not run. He simply approached
his would-be slayer, and at an oppor-
tune moment rushed upon him. A
fearful struggle took place for possession
Of the weadon. Paco fought like tiger,
but Camachi WAS too much for him. He
wrested the weapon from him and shot
Paco through the heart. Camschi was
arrested and taken to Arispe, where be
is awaitinS trial.
[Mohsva County Miner, July 22.l
One of the biggest gold strikes made
In Mohave county since the Gold Bug
mine was discovered, has Just come to
light in Layne Springs. The Clack
brothers and Joe Pomber were doing q
little work on what is known as the
west extension of the Nighthawk and
when down about three feet from the
surface they uncovered q good-sized
body OF the richest kind of gold ore.
The formation is porphyry and the vein
q contact. The gold in the rock is
coarse and heavy and shows up beauti-
fully to the naked eye. The boys
brought in an average sample from the
ledge which they will have assayed as
soon as possible. The vein from which
the ore was taken has been run over
and located and relocated for years, but
little work has been done on it. The
boys will now commence work in earnest
and will probably develop one of the
best mines in Northern Arizona.
The lodges throughout that section OF
country carry large percentage Of gold
and are among the best in the county.
We are glad to note the good fortune Of
the bSys an and ,yi i yi!l stay with them; ,,,u
.a@piss Of ore from the ledge were
ssssysd aud gave return of IS ounces
in gold per ton. This is an average of
thsaore taken from the vein and shows
it to be q truly wonderful discovery. A
discovery of ore carrying $1700 in gold
3 would create the widest excitement in
any other camp, but in Mohave county
such things do not even excite passing
noticeti7
ziIMohave County Miner, July 20
While prospecting in the lower levels
OF the Rural mine, after the water had
been pumped out, Supt. Gerritt discov-
cred { cave in the hanging wall, and in
the cAved ground was an ore streak that
had escaped the eyes of the former
owners. The ore was hung together
with native silver and resembled in gem
eral character that found in the mine on
the upper levels. Many who have seen
the ore in place say it is one of the best
showings in the country.
The Rural mine is situated at the
baso of Sherum's Peak, and has been
idle for several years. The former
owners worked the mines for about q
year and in that time shipped $4,000
worth of ore, the average value of which
was $40 gold and 260 ounces silver per
ton. No better ore has been produced
in the territory than this.
In the bottom of the shaft the first
days work uncovered two foot vein of
rich ore of the same grade ~ that shipped
from the property some years ago.
Specimens of ore laced together with
native wire silver were brought from the
bottom after the first shots were touched
off.
The opening up of these rich ore
bodies in the Rural means much for
Mineral Park and will do q great deal
to attract attention to her many rich
