 The position of this ledge would indi-
 cate that it is the feederfor the rich placers near by, from which So many
 hundred thousand dollars have been
 taken, and this belief is borne out by
 the assay Of surface sam ples.
 About four miles east ot Inglewood. along the same lode, is ths weil-knowu
 Maraquita mine, ownetS by Madam
 Jacques 1raves, of Yura. Quite en-
 tensive development work has been
 done on this property, several thou
 sand tons Of good ore being in sight
 and large amounts on the various
 dumps. Though recently offered sIOo,-
 900 for her three claims, Madam Ira
 yes believes her property to be worth
 much more, and is arranging to put up a 1O-stamp mill, which , she hopes will be in running order during the pres ent year.
 South of the Marquitsa in the Cholass range of mountains, large number Of men are at work with tkcei' ory-wash- '. .ai-as iour men s,.5) operate the large machines-one dSs te fan or bel lows, two shoveling dirt aoaiut the screen. while the fourtQ man removes the tailings and looks alter the riffle- board. After five or te h minutes work the concentrates are removed and ] dumped into pan, which is twirled | and dipped and manipulated as though | held in running stream of water, the dirt and gravel being quickly thrown aside. Sometimes but a few colors re- ward the miner; again, dust to the value Of 50 cents or Sl is banned out, aud on red-letter days nuggets weigh ing from s5 to S10 are found.
 The dry-washers in this country are making from $50 to Sl00 per month, the main support of Tyson's valley. Gold dust is the medium of at the stores.
 The Palomas,. on the eastern side of the valley, are equally as rich. Mr. smith, brother of the borax king, is interested here, and has very val table property, upon which a large lmouut of development has been done. ', )n the whole, but very little method cal work has been undertaken through ut this region, yet enough to indi- ate that. Tyson's valley is one of the lchest districts in all Arizona. The enter Of the valley is well wooded nd has an unlimited supply Of water t depth of thirty 10 thirty-five feet. he giant sahuara is found in clumps, nd as lonely sentinels, guarding the |, urled treasures of gold, silver. copper nd lead. The placers now being 'orked have produced hundreds oi :, thousands of dollars, and are still yield- U lg good returns. The cost of labor is vailable. i
 Peahaps the best posted and most eliable old-timer is Frederick Buck, I rho declares that no part Of Arizona oday offers better inducements to the and capitalist. Mir. Buck is } years old, and is still able to walk 0 miles day behind his buros, / Johnny and Barney" who have been k lis faithful companions for nearly a f .uarter of a century. Together they over California and New r iexico, as we'll as Arizona. Mir. Buck I las always enjoyed the best of health, | nd asserts that the terrible heat of he desert is myth. During July and ' August the thermometer may do bit 6 ,r skylarking, but no one need suffer, md he never heard of case of sun stroke that was not brought about by ( incorporate habits.
 Ehrenburg is the natural river land- t; ng for Tyson's valley, and bids fair to again become as lively place as it was n the 70's. Abandoned adobe houses, ; n good condition, claimed by no one, stand with open doors to welcome the population.
