 In writing to the Gazette from Wickenburg, a correspondent has the following to say of the Hassa- yampa bonanzas: The first thing I was shown by Mir. Baxter was piece Of rose quartz, wlth free gold, ls fine a specimen as | ever saw ia my life. It comes from up the 1 Hassayampa, about twelve miles from here, and about a mile below | he lower dam. The ledge from | vhicn this comes is owned by two i young Mexicans, and the rock is said to be fairly studded with gold. 1 The ledge is said to be four feet | vide, but how much of this fabul- )usly rich rock there is, I have been unable to learn. It would not take much ot such rock, however, to 'tart stampede that would rival | my the west ever saw. A five stamp mill is in the course of erection al he King Solomon mine, winch is sbout four miles from this new strike, and considerable activity prevails in that locality. which is in Black Tank minin district. If earn any more news about this new discovery, which is without any ioubt a genuine bonanza, l will let rou know.
