Springs and are anxious to bond them
A great many other Claims aaye been
located in the vicinity-in fact the
whole country has been staked OF. and
probably there are several other claims
as valuable as these of the gentlemen
mentioned above Parker and Philips
have done more to bring their claims
into prominence. They have had ire
auent assays made besides the work
ing test at Silver City. That test also
brought mining men from Silver City
who are interested there now Mr.
PHILIPS has an assay that was made for
him and Mr. Rogers of Lone Noun
Tain. near Silver City, from the 1ur-
ouoise mine, which they own in com
mon. and it run l $40 ounces IN gcld,
, ounces in silver and II per cent III
copper. Mr. Philips also showed
certificate from an assayer in Albu-
uuerque of three assays from the Little
Ollie, owned by himself and Mr.. Pack
er. No l went 15-1OO in gold, value
81: 2 40 ounces in silver, value Sl-44.
No. 3 run 2-10 in gold, value 81; $40
ounces in silver, value $3.1S, and NO.
went three ounces in gold. value sou.
and ~ ounces in silver, value S1.5o-
All the samples were high in copper
but they were assayed only for gold
and silver.
Some very fine specimens have been
taken from these claims. There IS no
doubt that those who were fortunate
enough to get in on these claims have
a bonanza. Away back sixteen CT
twenty years ago rich float was picked
I'D below Ash Springs by several par
ties and claims located on which work
was done several years. Frank Wells
and lack McNeT. who used to De at
Carlisle, did assessment work over
there two or three years. Jack NC
told about the rich feat they mad
found. but they could never find the
lead. He remarked several times: = II
YOU stay in this country you will see
as rich mines opened up in the Vlcln-
inv of Ash Peak as there are in the
country. Whenever anybody can tunl-
BILE onto the lead that float came from
they will have a mine worth having
At the time the work was done there
it was as much as mans lie was
worth most of the time to attempt to
work in the country, for the willy
Apaches were always around JACK
O'Neil said he was Coming through
the canyon in the early 'S0S anu some
one in the party picked up piece OF
the richest float he had ever seen IN
his life. I. E. Solomon was one of the
party. Among the Other fortunate
owners in this district are Messrs
Jim Tong, Bart Upton, Sherman stew
art. C. z. Fisher and ice Philips OF
Duncan, and Rufus Philips and 3 w.
Howard of Morenci
MT Rogers told how ne came to be
prospecting there. 4 friend CT his
who was in Mexico on prospecting
trip came across an old German down
in the Sierra Madres who advised HIM
TO prospect near Ash Springs. He said
that he and a large party had worked
an arastra there thirty years before
and out of every ton CT Ore they took
to the arastra they got SIS in gold and
thus it happened that Mr.. Rogers was
on the ground within two days of the
first location by Packer and Philips
