A Cripple Creek Strike.

A dispatch from Cripple Creek,
Colo. Of February "a, stated: 'Sena-
tor Wolcott has struck the greatest
ore body known in the history of Colo
rado in The Last Dollar Mine. 1t is
fourteen feet between walls, and has
been followed ffty-six feet. A rich
core runs from one foot to eighteen
inches, and goes from sl7, 720 to 800 900
a ton"
This news in confirmed by the Colo-
rado Springs Mining Record of Feb
ruary 20, on which date il said: THE
most sensational find in the history of
the Cripple Creek district has been
made in the famous Last Dollar mine
on Battle Mountain. 1t can be stated
on absolutely undeniable authority
that Que foot of almost solid svlvanite
has been uncovered in the new 1856
foot level in that mine. Values across
twelve inches run from 1000 to 1900
ounces to the tain, while five feet of the
vein, in which the bonanza vein exists,
runs good smelling grade. The rich
ore has been opened for thirty feet in
length and in that distance has added
hundreds of thousands to the value of
the great mine; for this is but down.
ward continuation of the rich core
opened in the level above few months
ago. and which has always been a
striking feature of the physical aspect
of the ore condition.

Il have for several years had in con-
temptation the establishment of u
weekly newspaper and this seems an
opportune time for undertaking it.
Intending to devote my life to the
study and discussion of public ques-
tions, have chosen this method be-
cause it will best accomplish the pur-
pose which have in view. Through
such paper l shall be able to keep in
touch with social, economic and politi-
cal problems. The paper will at the
same time i: successful, provide an in
come sufficient for my pecuuiary needs
and this kind OF work will allow me
more time with my family than have
been able to enjoy for several years
past.
II expect to lecture occasionally, es-
pecially in college towns where l can
speak to students, but my principal
work will be done with the pen. or per-
haps should say. with the pencil.

moner and will defend the principles
set forth in the Kansas City platform.
The first issue will appear in January.

TERRITORIAL MINING. NEWS.

Another mineral discovery was added
to the long list in the Canyon district
few days ago. A couple of pros
pectors came in this week and claim
To have located large deposit of tin.
or metal resembling it. They located
several claims and came in to MAIZE
arrangements for further examination
and working News.
Never in the history of the mines in
Yuma county has the outlook been as
promising as at the present writing.
For several months past nearly every
week has revealed the hidden treasures
of prospects upon which generally but
little work has been done, but in which
when shafts were sunk little deeper.
or the tunnels and drifts pushed little
further into the mountain side, great
bodies of very rich ore have been dis
covered. Nearly every week has added
several new discoveries TO the already
large list OF rich and valuable ones
which are on record. The failures
have been so few that we hardly ever
hear Of one. Our miners and pros
pectors never felt so happy, never felt
so sure OF success as they do today.
The reliable reports received from
every camp in the county bears out in
saying that the mining prospects in
Yuma county never were so bright as
they are at the present time and never
bid so fair to crown the efforts of their
owners with success as they do today.

1t is not so very long ago that the
Boston syndicate, which secured the
Sears interest in Old Dominion (Arizo-
nal, offered $40 a share for controlling
interest in the property, and failed to
get 1t. IL Is now on record that the
same syndicate has offered the Levi
shons S45 share for %, 600 shares, and
that the Lewishons have refused it.
That is another feather in Old Domin-
ions hat. There are more feathers
coming. Per contra, it is said that it
would not take powerful lot of good
money or good stock to obtain possess
sion of the United Globe mines at
Globe, also in Arizona. One report
says that 20 900 shares of Old Dominion
stock would buy the entire property.
or a consolidation. at least. The United
Globe mines are owned by Phelps,
Dodge Il Co., of New York, who also
own, or.chietly own, the big Copper
Queen at Bisbee, and it is said that
they (the United Globe mines) are
earning at the present time somewhere
in the neighborhood of $4,000 per
month net.

A Rat Showed Him a Mine.

The action OF a rat led n. r. Ingolds-
by to the discovery of a rich gold MINI
in Arizona. He named the property
the Rat Hole mine.
Mr.. Ingoldsby had been spending
several months near Mammoth, on the
San Pedro river, in Arizona. His pur-
pose was to enjoy the bunting and
make collection OF the animals and
minerals of the southwest. He pitched
his tent in the canyon of the SAN Pedro
in the Santa Catarina.
He had no neighbors and was for a
long time unable TO account for the
disappearance OF small articles that he
left lying about his camp. At last he
noticed that when anything was taken
something was left in its place. This
was usually bit OF stone or wood.
The culprit he found to be large
rodent OF the species. known as the
trading rat. The habits OF the animal
made an interesting study for Mr..
IugOldsSy, and he often lay awake at
night to watch his visitor.
A silver spoon was missing one morn
ing and in its place was a piece Of
quartz carrying free gold. This still
more excited Mr.. Ingoldsby's curiosity,
and, after several attempts, he succeed
ed in following the animal to its home.
Near by was the ledge from which the
gold bearing quartz had been taken.
Mr.. lngoldsby made an examination
thorough enough to prove that his dis
covery was OF considerable value

4 Lucky Men.

For many years Major NJ Morgans
has ow ned a silvcr-lead mine on the
banks OF Machio creek, six miles from
Lake valley. 1t has been worked OF
aud on in former years and il partly
developed. Several shipments of good
ore were made from the property when
water came in and work stopped, The
mine has remained idle since then
until few months ago, when one day
Staeeman Orchard was driving Ylong
humming his favorite tuns, ''Boney
Annie Laurie" aud tie idea took pos
session of him to secure lease aud
bond on the Morgan mine. He con-
suited his frie, d, E. II. Bickfori, rat
tliug good miner. aud they made an
examination of the mine, which re-
suited in them forming a partnership
and securing bond and lease on the
property on very reasonable terms
from Major MorToo,s. Orchard con-
.inued driving ,tr'.e. ~-a -Riekford
went to work proAp,cting the mine.
He ignored the old workings, which
he believed to have parted company
with the main ore body, and he sank
few new holes and cross cut right and
left in different places, and about five
days ago opened up an immense body
of silvery galena worth about $50 per
ton. Those who have seen it say there
is three years ore in sight and that
Lake valley is on the eve Of another
boom. An ore mill will be erected and
the Santa Fe induced to run spur
track to the mine. 1t is said that
Bickford & Orchard will die rich, but
The Herald hopes that they won't be-
fore they live rich for while. Ser
iously, though, judging by all accounts,
they've struck another Bridal Chamber
and only await the advent of Max
Kahler to dedicate it.-Deming Herald.

Chief Engineer r. b. Burns, of the
Santa Fe Pacific, has advocated for
years the building of the present rail-
road reservoir at this place ten feet
higher. The decision was finally made,
so the News understands, to put the
extra height to the reservoir this
spring. Such improvements are always
better late than never. Yet all regret
the improvement has not been made
The present reservoir Is full and run
ming over. The ten feet extra on top
would have given an extra capacity of
sixty million gallons, II not more, as
the water area is extensive. The
present flow OF water would have filled
that and more. The storage capacity
of this place has been increased in the
past two years from about forty million
to nearly, il not quite. three billion
gallons, yet men acquainted with con-
ditions in this country, know the i'm
mense value of water aud cannot but
regret seeing vast quantities allowed
TO waste, simply because of the lack of
storage facilities.-Williams News.
The proposed irrigation bill now
pending before the Arizona assembly,
is raising great apprehension all over
Arizona. 1t is said Of it that it will
make every usec of water either a
plaintiff or a defendant in some sort
OF action at law. Nothing but unfav-
orable comment on this proposed bill
is heard no matter where you go. The
creation of more public boards and
more public officials in our present
overtaxed condition seems little short
of suicidal. For Heavens sake, Mr..
Legislators, just let the people alone
for a while; give them a rest, and do
not eternally and Internally be trying
to govern us too much. Remember the
old, true and wise saying: People
are the best governed who are the
least governed" Yes, have mercy: on
Us. DO not add to our burdens, what
ever you do. II you can't help us, let
Us alone. DO not give us inspectors,
satraps or any other such
truck to make trouble and raise Cain
in every direction. Now that the
Apaches have been cleaned out and
gone to work. all Arizona should have
a breathing spell for a few years.

Phoenix Republican.
No tale is more interesting than one
that deals in facts alone. That the
written record of the Vulture mine has
all the essentials demanded by the
story teller is known by thousands who
have lived in Arizona during the last
thirty-fve years, and with such a SUBJ
iect, resort to fiction would put upon
the writer an unnecessary AID unprofit-
able task
The recent uncovering OF an immense
ore body twenty-seven feet wide, OF n
s206 per ton. together with the transfer
OF the property from the New Vulture
Mining Company" to Willis B. Troy
and associates, of New York City, oc-
cslsioned the visit of Republican rep
resentative 10 this historic old mine.
Mr.. Geo. w. Sanders, who has been
in charge OF the mine for the last three
years, was most courteous and paius-
taking in guiding the writer through
the great catacomb, and in pointing
out matters OF interest.
In what follows only the most genera
description can be given, for it took
a day to see but part OF it, and more
can be seen in day than can be writ
ten in a week. Besides, what follows
is a newspaper article, not mine re-
port. No exaggeration will be indulg-
ed in, for in this instance the truth
demands the best effort and needs no
illumination. A mining expert OF more
than national fame, who visited the
Vulture not long ago, is known to have
said: ''It's the first time in my life

THE STORY.

The Vulture was discovered in 1863
by Henry Wickenburg, now ii resident
of Wickenburg, Ariz. He was hunting
a lost mine at the time, when he thrust
his pick into a yellow ledge that crop
ped out on top of little rocky hill on
the edge of the desert about ten miles
west OF theSpresent S. F. p. and P. r.
r. bridge over the Hassayampa. He
picked up the broken fragments and,
after a careful look, at them decided
that a ''found" mine was better than
lost mine. He looked skyward and
noted about him number of circling
buzzards. This" said MIR. Wicken-
burg, to himself, ''shaf be- called the
Vulture mine" and it is. 1t is notable,
though, that while the property was
always called the Vulture, and the
postoffice so named, no claim by that
name was ever staked or claimed. His
close attention to his prospect and his
long absence from Prescott, aud in
Indian country, created the suspicion
that he was in league with the red
skins. But that is another story.
Mr.. Wick enburg sold his interest for
a good fortune at that time, and in the
following thirty-five years there was
piled up series of events that includ-
ed everything of romantic frontier
nature, from exposed treasure vaults
to crimes most Infamous, in which the
assassin's bullet not infrequently play
ed its deadly part.
Among the later owners of world
wide reputation was the late Ex-Sen-
ator Tabor. and the old Vulture was
the principal part of his once great
fortune. Financial disaster compelled
Senator Tabor to dispose of his mine,
but to his dying day he was wont to
say that had he been satisfied with the
Vulture and let speculation alone, the
Vulture would have made him one of
the richest men in the world.
But while all this was going on, the
mill. or mills, during their spasmodic
and interrupted operations, had turned
out product of Sic. 900, 900, besides the
vast amount Of stealings that could not
be prevented in those early days with
the crude machinery employed and the
meager development of the property.
The word meager is used purposely,
for though millions of tons Of ore are
now in sight, a vertical depth CT but
33i feet has been reached at the deep
est point.
