A FREE GOLD DISCOVERY
The Mountains Are Being Thoroughly Pros
pected-Big Ledges of WOlframite-
Big Copper Veins Between Monu-
ment Rock and Glorieta.

j. "A. Jones mas brought In from the
head of Santa Fe canon samples Of a
new gold-copper find which has served
to set wagging again the tongues of men
on the mineral possibilities of the Santa
Fe range. The ore is white quartz OF
fine grain bespangled with free gold
yet heavily impregnated with copper
Jones says he doesn't have to have it
assayed; that he is well enough satisfied
to know that it is high grade stuff and
that he has four feet vein of it in
place and well defined. After laying in
a fresh lot OF camp supplies at Cart
wright's, the lucky discoverer has gone
back to the hills to complete assessment
work on the several claims he has re-
Gently staked. His exact location is
near the top of the divide, some two
and one-half miles northeast of the
head of Macho creek, and within the
Pecos river forest reservation.
AN ODD CHARACTER.
Jones is comparative stranger in
Santa Fe, but there are citizens who
have known him for Is years In Ari-
zona, Nevada and California He is a
professional prospector, and hence a
wanderer. He belongs to the Smokey"
Jones ana Bill Williams type, always
on the tramp, never mining but path
finder for miners, and hence most i'm
portant factor in any new mining dis
trict. And men who know him believe
him when he says he has opened four
feet of high grade gold bearing quartz
in the Santa Fe mountains. One man
says OF him: "I'd sooner take Jones'
word in matter of this kind than that
of the most noted mining expert in the
land. He can't afford either to mis-
or make any mistakes, for his
bread and butter depends upon finding
new and good that will stand
for what he discovers he
sells at prospect prices, gets grub
stake and is off over the hills with his
pack burro again seeking some new un-
discovered country"
THOROUGH PROSPECTING.
B. G. Nichols has returned from a
prospecting trip in the Santa Fe range,
going as far northeast as so miles from
town. He says if anybody thinks these
hills are not being pretty thoroughly
came here from Arizona for the ex-
press purpose OF locating a big ledge
found two years ago and which he is
convinced carries large quantities of
woframite. On this trip he found the
ledge all right enough, but found also
that some miner had been there ahead
of him, put up his location stakes and
done the assessment work. The loca
tion notice was typewriter and so
faded by the weather that the name of
the locator could not be deciphered.
But whoever it may be Mr.. Nichols
thinks he has bonanza. There are
other similar lodges in that region, but
owing to the snow, minute investigation
was postponed. Mr.. Nichols says
beyond Baldy mountain the ravines
and canons are yet packed with snow
in some places 1t is packed in and frozen
100 feet in depth.
BRADLEY'S COPPER FIND.
VIM. Werner, German mine expert
California capital, returned
to the city yesterday after spending
three days in examining the copper
owned by r. A. Bradley and
located about half way between Monu-
ment Rock and Glorieta, or to be exact
three and half miles southeast of
Monument Rock. The claims are in a
very mountainous region, but Mr.. Brad
ley has done an immense amount of
development work, has the great ore
bodies well exposed and Mr.. Werner
says he found the property on the whole
much better than Mr.. Bradley had rep
resented 1t to be. Mr.. Werner took from
the various openings valise full of the
ore and left here this morning for Dem
yer to have it tested for gold, copper and
silver. He has opened negotiations with
Mr.. Bradley for the purchase of the
and II the assays yield any
thing like appearances indicate, he will
return here and do business.
