silver. There had been a shaft sunk
about thirty feet and tunnel driven
about 400 feet. South of there, few
miles, they discovered several small
silver lodges that showed horn silver.
About two miles from there, the eight
tanks. known as the "Cabeza Prleta
tanks," had plenty of water, and were
about six feet deep, looking as though
they had been chiseled out by the hand
of man. Here they ran onto any
amount of deer and mountain sheep.
The sheep were in nerds of thirty and
forty. Then they headed towards
Tinoch Alta range travelling about ff-
teen miles westerly. In this range
were nice looking irony quartz in
broken up lodges that assayed nil.
though there were spots that showed
gold in the horn spoon. Tula well, on
the Yuma and Sonora road, was the
next point reached. The water was
brackish. The monument erectors OF
the boundary survey party were camped
there. Thence across the Ell Plallla
valley in southeasterly direction to
the southeast end of the Pinto range.
They prospected but found nothing.
From there, easterly, to the Qultava-
Quito where they located a ledge OF
good looking gold rock Their supplies
being exhausted they returned home.
They were we'll pleased with the trip
and are going back shortly. The trip
would be disheartening II anyone but
such men as Coyle and Morgan, who
are intelligent prospectors, and for
whom the incident hardships OF such a
trip have no terrors.

A LONG TRIP.
interesting Description of Hunt
for Gold.


On October 10 last, Herb. Morgan
and Jim Coyle, both of ella Bend,
went on prospecting trip into the
desert region that lies southwest Of
Texas Hill and were gone until Decem-
Der Is. In an intervies with a REPU-
BLICAN representative yesterday Mr.
Morgan said in regard to the trip,
that they went direct from Texas
Hill to- the Mohawk mountains,
twenty-five miles, AMI prospected
for some time. They found the forma-
ton mineral, the prevailing rock being
granite, porphyry and quartzite, with
numerous small lodges OF copper, silver
and some gold that ran fairly and
would do to work if they were not so
remote from the railroad. From there
they went to the Pinto range in a west
erly southwest direction about Is miles.
Here they found the country rock a
barren granite, unusually micaceous,
with occasional blow-outs of copper of
no depth as a couple of shots would
demonstrate. While in this range they
ran onto the old silver mine that had
been worked some eight or ten years
ago by DR.. DeCorse of Yuma. The
ledge matter was porphyry carrying

A Wild Ride.

W. D. Frazee, in charge of affairs at
the head of the Arizona canal, was In
town yesterday. He says everything is
full and the prospect for abundant
water for the season is bright. Mr..
Frazee had an exciting experience a
few nights ago. On going to bed there
were about fourteen inches of water
running over the dam. Alter he had
been asleep for several hours Mr. Fra
zee was awakened by continuous roar.
He arose and going to the dam found
the fourteen inches had grown to eight
feet. He hitched up his team and
drove like the wind to the gates several
miles below. He took no notice of
