Rumor has IL that Richard Allen a
Co. have struck q big body Of high grade
srlphide Of silver orc IN their Silver
Cord nine 10 the southeastern part Of
The Pinos Altos district. Two men are
now working on the claim. Mr.. Allen
has held this claim for number Of years,
and doggedly and persistently worked It
all alone. He found some fine ore on the
surface, but Tor 90 feet he kept on sink
ing without taking out any ore to help
or cheer him, doing the work all by him
solf. Il Is to be hoped that bic pluck
and hard work are now TO be we'll TO
wurded.

The gold strike on the Blue, some
~thirty-dve miles north Of Mogollon,
which was reported early last week
seems to be holding out we'll. A large
number Of men rushed out there on the
first reports Of the discovery Of high
grade gold ore. No definite news hes YET
been received from the new camp, but
as none OF the men who went out have
abandoned the strike or come back yel
they must evidently be satisfied with
what they found. A telephone messagf
on Sunday evening from Graham states
that a quantity Of rock has been brought
in which ran $1,000 to the ton in gold.
