HASSAYAMPA ON
A BIG RAMPAGE
The Flood Sunday Carries Away
the Old Dredge Boat from
the Box Canyon.

The heavy rains of Friday and
Saturday at the head of the HASA
yampa caused quite a flood, which
reached Wickenburg early Sunday
morning. The roar of the waters
could be heard for some time be
fore the flood came, and when it
did come it was a record breaker,
with the exception of the great
Walnut Grove food many years
ago, when nearly a hundred lives
were lost
The flood Sunday brought down
hundreds Of cords of driftwood and
timber from the mountains, a great
deal of which was left in the wide
places above and below town. The
old dredger, which had been ir the
box canyon above town for a num-
Der of years, was torn from it's
moorings and carried over a mile
down stream, where it landed on
the flats. At daylight Sunday
morning the river opposite and
just above here was nearly one
half mile wide, but the same even
ing it was dry again, with the ex-
ception of few puddles

Gila Monsters.

The Gila Monster is found west
OF the Pecos river in Texas, in
Arizona and New Mexico and in
Old Mexico. At certain seasons of
the year this is the most deadly
reptile in the world; at other times
it is harmless. Every year during
the months Of June, July and
August it contracts a disease some
thing like rabbies. All of them
save the disease at this season of
she year, bat thhe55r iisfTari,t43oll y re-
cover. A person bitten by one of
them during this season becomes
raving maniac and dies in great
agony in from ten minutes to two
hours. Nothing but immediate
and heroic treatment will save the
person bitten. 1t eats only once
month during the summer months,
after which it eats nothing at all
from the first of November to the
first Of April. 1t eats from four to
six eggs at a meal.-Houston TEX

Waters Wasting.

1t is q study worthy of every
resident of Arizona. says the Dem
ocrat, to stand on the margin of
the Colorado river and view the
immense flow OF water in that
stream now passing to the sea, and
then turn and scan the horizon
eastward or westward. He will
thus realize the fearful loss to hu-
manity in allowing the waters to
enter the fathomless sea- Miles
upon miles of as fine lands as can
be found under the canopy Of
heaven extend for hundreds of
miles on each side of that stream,
now idle and baking under the
summer sun, while water in album
dance is flowing past in quantity
sufficient to render fertile the en-
tire area from Phoenix to it's banks
and then extending westward to
the base Of the coast range.
The time is not far distant when
the waters of that stream, always
at hood-tide at midsummer, will
be utilized and thousands Of homes
dot the land where solitude now
reigns supreme.
Already a portion of the vast
volume of that streams water sup
ply is being utilized to reclaim the
arid plain west of Yuma, known
as the Imperial settlement.
The Courier says a gold brick
weighing 21 pounds was brought in
from the Braganza company's Hen
rietta mine. This is the result OF
the second cleanup from the mill
running on Henrietta ore. The
company has 55 men at work upon
it's properties, has ample water and
is running its mill steadily. Many
! improvements are under way, new
buildings are being put up and the
new shaft is over 500 feet deep

BIG SILVER STRIKE
IN c. 0. D. MINE

Thursday night one Of the great
est bodies of silver ore ever found
in Mohave county mine was
broken into on the 3O0-foot level of
the G. O. d. mine, $50 feet west of
the shaft, says the Mohave County
Miner AS the drift is carried for
ward the wonderful richness and
extent Of the strike becomes more
and more apparent. Report from
the mine this morning states that
the entire breast, four feet in
width, is in ore Of an average value
of $50 ounces silver and sixteen
dollars gold. yesterday there was
taken from the breast of the drift
nuggets of solid silver and the bal
ance of the ore showed wire and
massive native silver. This ore
chute has leen opened 80 feet in
length, but the ore has been of
lower grade than that now broken
into. This ore body is unbroken
ground to the surface, 80 feet, and
contains more than $4,000 tons of
ore.

GOOD ORE AT
WHITE MINE.
Development Work Showing Up
A Fine Body OF Good
Gold and Silver Ore.
Much Free Gold
Is In Evidence.

The editor of the News Herald
spent Thursday up the river, visit
ing the property formerly owned
by Sam Powell, Leonard White,
Gilbert & Rowe and others, and
now being developed by the White
Gold Company, Of Phoenix.
The property consists of six
claims and a fraction, lying be.
tween the Hassayampa river and
Slim Jim Gulch, on one Of the best
defined ledges in this section. At
present most of the work is being
done on the Right Bower claim,
next to the river. The surface of
the ground rises from the river at
this point in an abrupt hill nearly
eight hundred feet high Three
tunnels have been run in the kill
along the ledge, the longest one
being IN about 125 feet. The one
on which the work is now being
done is about thirty feet above the
river, following the footwall Of rhe
ledge. In this tunnel and the long
one, the writer found number of
specimens of coarse free gold. The
average Of all the assays made is a
trifh over $44, and while in some
PLACES the ore is much richer, the
conservative estimate placed upon
the ore body is between $12 and
$18 N gold, and the silver values

About seven hundred feet of
work has teen done on the proper

through tie mountain, giving
depth on tie ledge Of about seven

at the mouth of the tunnel furnish

the company to erect a mill some
time this winter, and with the
showings nW to be seen, the prop
erty shouldpay dividends during
the next yer, with a mill running.
The fOrmepwners took out several
tons of ore 0unning as high as 500

suppose tha development will op-

An Old Property
Now Being Worked.

considerable attention In the neigh
borhood of Prescott just now is the
group of eleven claims owned bv
the Dunkirk Gold and Silver Min
ing Company, fourteen miles south
of Prescott.
The mine was latel y acquired by
the company from T. w. Otis, q
prominent Prescott merchant, who
secured it some years ago. 1t was
discovered over twenty years ago
by Smith and Bigelow, two pros
pectors in the employ Of, or grub
staked by, Clarke Churchill The
discoverers of the mine lived on
the property for nearly fifteen
years, chloriding on the rich ore
shoots and shipping the product to
Pueblo, after packing it on burros
over sixty miles.
There are q number of tunnels
and other workings on the property
and ore being taken from the pres
ent workings assays from $40 to
$3.50, the sui phides being more
prominent with every foot of work
done.
The president Of the company is
c. f. Riblet, a Prescott capitalist
and min:pg investor of unimpeach-
able reputation. The first vice
president is E. |. McLallen, former
ly a business man and capitalist of
Cos'@gal>ia City, Ind, bat now liv-
ing in, Prescott interested in vari-
Gus enterprises. The secretary
and general manager is Alfred B.
NoxorA formerly a Colorado min
ing man and at present the Ari-
zona representative Of the Daily
Mining Record Ricnard Lamson>
an experienced attorney, is the as
sistant secretary.
That the company is organized
for no other purpose thar the ex-
ploitation Of what seems to be an
unusually promising property is
indicated by it's method Of work.
Organization was begun less than
three months ago. Two issues OF
stock have been disposed of, and
the third is going rapidly, and
home people are the largest invest
ors. Neighbor places confidence
in neighbor. The superintendent
Of the mine, Ed. Keinzle, as we'll
rs several of the men employed,
were working the property when
5he company was formed. Their
ease was purchased, aud they inn
took stock in the enter
Prise, having a faith born of per-
'onal contact with the mineral
bearing lodges and a personal
knowledge of the responsibility Of
heir associates.
