 Another big silver strike was made al WIckenburg Monday. Dr. r. ;. Brown and l.. \. Roberts, while doing some prospecting on two claims about One-half mile east of the SAhuaro group. uncovered what promises to be an even richer strike than the SahuarO. The ore was discovered with pick and was lying exposed, covered only by dis colored and disintegrated ore and country rock. In d few hours about half d ton of remarkably rich silver ore was taken out with the aid of ii pick and shovel. The general formation and character of the ore Is much the same d. in the Sahuaro mine and the silver is present in a native form, sil- yer glance and horn silver, and in pockets and nudules ranging from the size of d mustard seed to many as large walnuts. The character Of the ore Is d granite and gneiss cOnglomerate and besides the rich silver values, 1t carries considerable copper; in fact, all the ore Is heavily copper stained and even the country rock throughout the belt east of town, in which the silver strikes have been made. is heavily stained with copper. The surface of this sec ton, about a mile wide and several miles long, Is rather broken aud Is dot ted with red knolls or rolling hills. In every one of these which nas been pros pected vet, the same character Of rock Is encountered, carrying the copper stained conglomerate and some silver values, and always near the surface. This new discovery Of ore, carrying several thousand ounces of silver to the ton. will cause the location of the en- tire country in that belt and many who have been holding their prospects un- developed will now go after the rich silver ore in earnest. There are many opportunities for investment and men with little energy and brains backed with small capital stand d good chance to make stake. Dr. Brown, who owns two-thirds interest in the claims on which the new strike was made, came here from California less than three weeks ago and was sn impressed with the many opportunities for pro- titablc investment that he remained. The cOntrOiing interest in these two rich claims cost him a few hundred less than thouS- and--and tho man who yesterday sold d one-thirJ interest ia the two for one hundred dollars, today sees the pur- chaser, who was not afraid to doa little work with thousands in sight and the owner of probably one of the richest mines in Arizona or the cwcst.-Wickc9- burg Correspondence of Phoenix Re Onhiiran
