s<ooon Worth of Ore In Sight. Says
 Experts.

This week he Interp1tional came in to possession of the facts of one of the most extraordinary discoveries of min eral ever recorded in the annals of the southwest 1t rivals. in it's dazzling story of wealth, any of the tales of the Arabian Nights It is bewildering in its immensity and almost surpasses be lief. But it is true The story as told to the International comes from two different men and they correborata each other.
 About year ago R. Rocks. who is engaged in business at Cos. was pros pecting in the country about thiry five miles northeast of Cos He discovered a ledge, three to four feet wide. crop ping up nearly three feet high and eX- tending across the country several miles. The ore showed it was rich, and on having il assayed is gave re suit of over s2,000 to the ton in gold and silver. But the fates had decreed that he should not have this immense wealth MT. Brooks made inquiries concerning the ownership of the land on which the ledge is situated, and be- came convinced that it was on a con cession owned by a Colonel Garcia. Considering it useless to approach Gar cia and not daring to make known his tremendous find, for fear of losing it, he determined to try a waiting game. in the hope that Garcia would release his hold on the concession. when he would locate it. This is where Mir. Brooks made the mistake of his life.
 Some other parties wandered into the same country on a prospecting trip. They discovered the same ledge, for it was so large that it could not be covered up. These parties also saw that the ore was exceedingly rich. They also made inquiries as to the ownership of the ground, and found out that it was claimed by Colonel Garcia. But they did not stop there. They took samples of the ore, went to Cananea interviewed W. c. Greene, that modern Midas, at whose touch everything seems to turn to gold. MT. Greene advanced the money to make inquiries concerning Colonel Garcia's concession. The inquiry disclosed the fact that Garcia had no valid claims | to the ground. His concessions had lapsed or had never been recorded Acting upon this information the last discoverers lost no time in denouncing the ledge. MT. Greene sent an expert | to examine it, and as a result of his examination he makes the remarkable
 statement that there is $20,000, ,00t
 worth of ore in sight-on top of the ground.
 The men who located the ledge are l James Taylor, A. c. Riordan, James
 Suits and MT. Sturges. Last week MT Greene purchased the prDperty foI $250.0 900, making a first payment ol
 $50.000. although as last accounts Mir Riordan had not made up his mind
 whether he would sell
 This is one of the most remarkable i discoveries ever made in that remark ably rich mineral country. northern
 Sonora. Anyone who is acquainted
 with W. c. Greene knows that he will not let this phenomenally rich deposit of ore lie idle for any length of time The development and working of this property will necessarily entail the employment of a large force of men, and owing to it's location and the prox- imity of railroad connection the busi ness will, almost of necessity, come ts ] Douglas.-Internafiona
