RICH SAHAURO
Three Shifts Being

Surface Showings On Many Claims Give
Every indication That Only Develop.

the Richest in the World.

the Richest in the World.
The News Herald force on Sun
day visited the richly mineralized
belt across the river, east Of town.
This section, which until lately
had hardly been prospected, can
now Show some prospects with the
best of indications, and one mine
running three shifts doing devel-
opment work. This is the Sahau-
70, the discovery of which caused
an influx of prospectors into that
section in October. The two-com-
partment development shaft is be-
ing rapidly driven into the interior
of the earth in an attempt to dis
cover the extent and nature of the
rich ore deposit discovered on the
surface two months ago. The first
of the week they had the shaft
down nearly forty feet, and at the
rate work is progressing, will soon
be able to tell the extent of the ore
body. The rich silver and copper
ore now on the dump can be seen
for several miles, and is even
richer than it looks. Besides the
phenomenally rich silver values,
the ore carries paying quantities of
copper,
Three-quarters of q mile west Of
the Sahuaro, William Scott and
E. r. Hall are working on the Bill
Dick and Doctor Bill claims, hay
ing a vein Of high grade copper and
gold ore in the Bill Dick, which at
a depth Of twelve feet has widened
out considerable. On the Doctor
Bill claim they are sinking near
the apex of. a large blowout, to
which Scott pins his faith, claim
ing that the nature Of the country
and character of the ore, while SIM
liar to the Orc Grande, of which he
was the original locator, are much
richer and better. On this claim
the ore occurs in kidneys OF copper
carrying some gold. The sur
rounding ground, as far as has
been prospected, is conglomerate
of granite, lime, quartz and por-
phry, and is freely stained with
copper. Scott sank twenty odd
feet on the Orc Grande, but was
compelled to give it up on account
of lack of funds and being unable
to interest capital because of the
property being condemned by ex-
perts who examined it, finally
selling his half interest for $25.
However, he never lost faith in the
Orc Grande and the present own
ers made their big strike after do
ing less work than had been done,
It is to be hoped that Scott will
uncover another Orc Grande on his
new claims.
Most of the claims in the Sa-
huaro section have, as yet, nothing
but the title work done, the owners
waiting to see what success the
Sahuaro will have as depth is at
tanned.
East of the Sahuaro, George
Sayres and Tom Graham have
some good showings in a prospect
hole sank last week. The ore in
this case, as on all the claims yet
prospectedE in that vicinity, is Of
much the same character and ap-
pearance as the Sahuaro ore, lack
ing, however, in most cases, the
rich strealks Of horn silver and
kidneys of native silver.
South and east of Sahuaro, on
the opposite side of Coyote Tanks
wash, number of claims are be-
ing prospected, among the best OF
which are owned by DR.. Brown
and R. A. Roberts. They have a
number of claims on and near the
large red hill IL near the tanks, all Of
which show good ore almost on the
surface, and in some instances the
ore is as 1ich in silver as that
