And there are others in 1874 the Chilson brothers picked up SSO, 900 worth of pure silver nuggets in Richmond basin, about l2 miles from Globe, an overflow from an ex- travagant deposit by Nature. The old Silver King mine, also, but 2S miles from Globe, produced some excellent ore, much of which was pure silver, coming to the surface in large masses in the shape of taffy.
