THE DOS CABEzAs DISTRICT.
The Observations of a Visitor to That
 Camp.

Camp.
 A correspondent. of the Stafford Guardian made a visit to Dos Cabezas mining district few days ago. His observations were in the Immediate vicinity of the lttle inning town oi Dos Cabezas. which is fifteen miles east of Wilcox. This little village nestles tn the low hills or the south side of the Dos CaPeZas range. The apex which culminateS in a double Deak from which the range and town derives it's name is about four miles directly north from the town. These two peaks. or heads, stand up n bold relief from the surrounding mountains and form a landmark which can be seen for over fifty miles in all direc- tions. At the base of these peaks on the north is the railway station of Bowie Cn the Southern Pacific sys- tenn.
 This range is well mineralZed, gold and silver with fine copper indications predominating. The formatOn lines up with diatrite porphyry, quartzite, lime iron and granite. About one mile north of the town is a gold bear ing mineral belt which cuts the coun- try almost due east and west and is prominently traceab1e for several miles. It shows best at the surface on the Casey group directly north Of the town.
 First comes a d.atrite formation, then a dike of white quartz which juts boldly out, then the mother ledge, with several parallel veins ending in q ledge to the north next in size to the mother ledge. These lodges are in q porphyretic formation, with a well defined lime formation to the north apparently holding them in place.
 The Casey group consists of six To- cations and is the best developed property on this mineral belt It has about 1000 feet of development work done, two-thfrds of which shows lodges from one to six feet, which the owner claims will assay from SIP to s45 gold. Over S2O,OOO has been taken out by shipping the ore, or working it in q crude manner with an arastra.
 Promising mines are being opened mp to the east and west of this group and the ore is being worked in q ten stamp mill at Dos Cabezas.
 Another valuable and promising group in this range is the Mineral Park of six claims located in a basin at the head of Gold gulch, directly un- der and to the west of the double peaks of the range, the lodges dipping almost directly under these peaks. The main vein is capped with iron and where opened up on the west side of a knob which rises about 1,200 feet above tue development work, shows a ledge over twenty feet wide and on base line of 2,500 feet where it cuts the ra- vine on. the, east side of the knob, t SHOWS up fifty to siXty-rine feet wide. To the south of the mammoth vein is a parallel vein one and q half to two feet wide, widening with depth Very rich free gold surface deposits have ;been worked on these lodges, from which thousands of dollars have been realized, some ore having assayed as high as S6,000 per ton. Considerable development work has been done by tunnels and open cuts, it being t1ln- z,al proposition. Four dollar ore can GDe worked at a profit.
 There is plenty of timber available and considerable water shows up in all the ravines the year through.
 Gold gulch, which heads in this ba- sin. was very rich in coarse gold. some very rich small punches of cop Der have been found between the two veins and the owners, Thomas Hatton and E. M. Qh-irk, of Dos Cabezas, feel confident of finding copper in paying uuantities. On the eastern side of the high peaks are some fine copper prop critics.
