The strike was made near the old Boggs hoisting works in a quartz ledge about thirty inches wide, carrying free gold. Several pieces of quartz were taken out of the claim each full of wire gold. Mir. Richards is a pioneer of this territory, having lived for about twenty years in Phe- nix. I am proud to see the old time boys strike bonanZas. Times are looking up in the Big Bug country.

The Henrietta is a good piece of ground and has had many obstacles to face it in litiga- ton, mismausgement and jugglery, and comes out ot all thes obstacles a bonanza. Joe Mayors manage ment of the property has been clean. however, and bis friends sincerely hope be will made millions.
 A telegram from Yuma says: Great excitemesr prevails here re- garding fabulous trikes being made 1 in the Sierra Matre mountains, 30 l miles from Yur4e. 4 low average | for rock being b ught m from there 1 IS S20OO per tor ahd from that up | to S400O. 4 ledge of this kind of rock, three miles long and from four to eight feet wiue on top, is reported | and as a result a. classes of men are developing the gold fever. and are either rushing 10 the scene of the great strike or sending some cue in their stead. 1t is probable that such all excitement will be developed as has not been known in the west for years.
