Ten Miles from Riversite
 Pinal County, Arizona. !, October l, 1894
 Special to the CITIzeN:
 I Work on the great Ripsey mine hat
 been prosecuted unceasingly day and
 night for many months. It is now
 known, from careful tests and assays, tc
 be one of the largest and richest gold
 propositions in the United States.
 Permanent buildings will be put up al
 once and the "City of Tents" will give
 way to more substantial structures
 The ore is free milling, self fiuxing,
 and there is mountain mass o' it, talk
 ing the main vein and it's many laterals
 into consideration, 1. is
 A IRRITABLE MOUNTAIN OF GOLD,
 Synonomous to the great cople CT noun
 tain at Bisbee.
 That this will be a second Goldfield
 only greater, there can now be nc
 shadow of doubt. Capital will. upon
 the clotest investigation, find this one
 of the finest fields for investment in the world It is indeed remarkabie that
 this g-ea5 field Las not come tc the
 front long ago.

A man has got | to open up his mine here ike he would 1 store or a saloon, or hotel, etc. Ma | ture points cut clearly to him the place. The iedges are as clearly defined here | as the pages of an open book, while choice specimens thrown from them in
 the ages of antiquity are scattered about promiscuously
 To the student of mineralogy DO finer field presents itself. Here we have gold, silver, copper, lead and Iron, and to the | north of us coal. The latter is on the
 reservation. Riverside, Ripsey, Hunt | on, Mammoth and the Goldfield dis i tricts are on the same general gold belt
 with all the principal characteristics quite similar.
 | Nature is lavish in the bountiful dIs | tribution of her mineral wealth. There
 is nothing small about her. She has | been particularly generous to Pinal | county in her gift of gold. It don't | grow on tha trees and is not to be scoop ! ed up at random by the shovel full, but | hundreds of good claims can yet be To- cated that can be developed into rich paying properties. Now is the time for capital to enter the field. What other business offers such inducements in the present disturbed state of the comme | Of our country; or at any other time. The Vesuvius mine is new one now
 being opened up by Kentucky and Ariz ona capitalists. It is near the Ripsey, | in the same mountain and the same gen ersl conditions exist in it as discovered
 in the Ripsey at the ssms depth. Pros pector Johns has one adjoining it called | the Aetna. upon which work will be commenced at once.
 Theodore Gan sen will commence work | on his Segnava mine soon. It is now opened to a depth of forty feet and | shows an immense ledge of copper car rying ninety ounces of silver and one ounce of gold. MT. E. M. Miller of Florence has an interest ID this and ad joinir 2 claims.
 It is claimed the Wesdin mine has
 been found by some prOspectors from Riverside who gre now camped st the Dagger well. If so 1t Is one of the rich est discoveries in the district. They are very reticent about it acd are fix ing to do lot of development work 8,
 once They have sent for complete outfit of tools. It IS believed they
 found it within fsw miles of Writes
 we'll, which Is ten mics north of this place.
 Dagger we'll or "ThomasviIle" as it ie pleasantly called, is now quite pictures que as mining camp Aside from the prosrectors tot of Apache Indians are
