THE GOLD MOUNTAIN
 OF THE GALUIROS,
Largest Gold Mine Yet Recorded
 Thirty Millions in Sight.

Messrs. Charles w. Fleming, Johr 1 Wright and Dick Fleming have re- turned from their trip to the gold mountain of the Galuiros. They made a careful examination of the great gold ! find. This was the first visit of Wright and Dick Fleming, and their opinion
 was sought by a ropresentive of The Star yesterday. Dick Fleming, who
 was for a long time cashier of the Phoenix National bank, and who is a cold-nose conservative man with very considerable mining experience, was asked what he thought Of the new gold find He said:
 If is bto 'ond r.vs 7ower to give an in- telligen5 sdtee@ga, f4r5 5t~o.%f appor-s to be veritable mountain of gold ore. I measured the width of the vein, which has been sampled along it's base in the box canyon, and it is over 600 feet wiGe, instead of 200 feet as report ed, and is one solid vein or vast dyke of ore, without any seeming breaks or
 waste matter. This mammoth vein or dyke has been cross-cut by box can yon for depth of fully four hundred feet. The canyon is about fl fly feet wide. The ore body on both sides is solid, the walls almost perpendicular. You can find the gold ore all over the croppings of the vein, as in the bottom of the canyon.
 This mammoth vein or dyke of ore I measured of for distance of a thousand feet. There was ore, ore everywhere and the croppings show the free gold profusely scattered through the ore. The vein of the main lead is traceable for eight claims all of which have been brought under the control of one company.
 "There is g. force of miners working at different places on the big vein or ore body, all at its base, in the box canyon, running in levels, which will ore overhead. 4 force is also employed in cutting a channel along the base of the north wall of the canyon, to sample the vast vein. This channel has been cut for sixty feet across the vein, all in ore of high value, in many places show ing the flakes and atoms of gold stick ing out of the rock. This channel will be cut for the full 600 feet, the width of the vein, so as to sample the entire body, every foot of which thus far sampled show. good values, some very high"
 This remarkable mountain of gold ore is located high up in the Galuiro mountains, among the pine and fir trees. Some of the claims are covered with magnificent pines. The mOun- tain whereabouts is very rugged and difficult to traverse. The approach to the camp is also difficult. Fifteen miles must be ridden over steep trails, and some exceedingly dangerous passes are encountered on the trails. The slip of foot at some places on the trail would mean fall of several hun. dred feet, and certain death. It has been until very recently wild, wierd region, where very few would venture, save the most daring and hardy hunt CTS; hence the secret of this great gold treasure being so long unknown. A new trail has just been discovered, which can be reached by Wilcox, and up the Arivipa canyon. This will necessitate horseback ride for fifteen miles, but the trail is up canyon and safe, so that there will be comparative ly little danger in going into the Galuiro gold eld.-Tucson Star.
