Arizona weekly citizen., 1895-06-01

l do not intend to write the history
 of the United States from the accession
 Of George Washington down to the ages
 in the memory of men still livlng,< but
 l, Arthur H. Elliott, citizen of the
 United States and resident of Pinal
 county, Arizona, believing and acknowl-
 sdgng that Almighty God is the Su-
 preme Ruler of the Universe from whom
 all that is wise and good emspstes, and
 believing that man made in his image
 possesses these wonderful faculties
 which are capable of chainIng the lIght-
 hing and harnessing the winds and
 bringing from time to time all the ele-
 ments into subjection for the substan- tlal nd material benefit of d fferent
 nerations, ana likewise believing that
 the beacon light of science is enllghtn- ing men on to grand discoveries in the
 remarkable age of progress, I, Arthur
 H. Elliott, possessed of all the faculties
 Of mind end body as sane man and
 not carried away by any spirit of undue
 enthusiasm, do, now in behalf of Arizo-
 ns, that land proclaimed by Homboldt
 as the Treasure Box of America, cnsl-
 lenge men of science, mining engineers
 and scientists tO look into certain mir
 ing discoveries that I have made and
 refute If possible, any assertion I make.
 l will show you mountain range, one Of the most peculiar in metallic noun tam architecture yet discovered iu Ariz
 ona; 1 will show you where millions can
 be dug out in gold, silver and copper.
 l will give to AriZons by virtue of dis
 eovery one of- the grgndest industrial
 workshops that 1t will be her pleesure
 for years to enjoy. I will ehow you 2
 series of mountains so suitably and 6t- tiDgly designed that nature has placed the doors where men may enter in. Il will show you series of group of fami- lies of metal mountains which have been ntorted, faulted, changed. chssmed and eroded until the rock building of ages is exposed to view and successive periods of time are plainly marked as the many volumes of a book with its subdivisions of chapters and clauses.
 l 2 i'll shoT you mountain range whO5e metal covering holds wealth in sbey ance to the energy of capital and the hands of labor.S S U pon accurate computation there is some S250,0OO,O00 to $500. .OOO,- 900 in silver, gold, lead and copper, and the most accurate presumption is that this metal field will be worked with un- deminIshed vigOr whilst the new flag of Arizona will bear the marks of infancy, and even up to the time wheu age shall designate 1t as the flag of one ha r,nrvarfnl ofa fr,f ho and they will be working in full blsst ss long as precious metals are used as money and ss lsug as the name of Ariz- ona shall be Arizona.
 In conclusion l repudiate the blatant | sneers of skeptics and the demsgogic | utterances of garrulous lamp post meu. | 1 stand a man among men in the matter | of this discovery. It means millions at l the present time and in futurIty for Ar | izona. It means sn electric light cast | upon the mining mysteries of Arizona. l It is the substantial solving of that | much vexed expression that has so often | slurred the mining interests of Arizona | namely, "Your mines de not go down." [ shall use no hoodoo stick nor resort to | any slIght-of hand performances, but | shall point out the ore bodies with un- | srrlng accuracy. It IS triumph of man | power over material elements. It is the | picture Of 8 man who has conquered the | 1ountains; it is victory in behalf of | mining that will place Arzona in the | of an undreamed of prosperi- ] y. My address is.

 Geoloeist and miner. mining camp of Le Roy, via Vekol, Arizona.
