BIG GOLD STRIKE
Geo. Richards and Partner Have a
Bonanza at Dos Cabezas.

For several days past the talk of
Wilcox has been directed to the recen-
rich gold strike il the Dos Cabeza.,
mountains, on the property owned and
worked by George Richards and part
ner says the Range News
Those who have seen the rock de
scribe it as Immensely rich in gold val
ues to the extent of several thousand
dollars to the ton. Gold nuggets as
large as pinheads and larger can be
seen in the rock on all sides.
The property has been worked for
the past five or six months by it's
present oweners. and has every indi-
cation of developing into an enormous
producer. We are not surprised at this
find as we have had faith in the Dos
C&beZas district ever since becoming
acquainted with its formations and
mineral deposits, and look not only for
Il great producer to be developed on
the new strike, but also expect to hear
of other finds just as valuable.
The Dos CabeZas district has never
even been thoroughly prospected. We,
for some unknown reason one never
fails to find some knocker who seems
to delight in giving the district a BLACK
eye. However. we believe this recent
their holes.
The claims upon which the most de-
velOpment work has been done and
where the discovery of ore was made
is on the east slope of the Dos Cabezas
range and the vein is reported as be-
ing two feet wide.
The Gold Hill Mining company OF
WILCOX has been organized and officers
elected.
The company's property is an i'm
mense mountain composed of low grade
gold rock. Millions of tons OF ore. run
ming in value from 81 to Sc per ton is
now actually in sight. Numberless
samples taken from every section of
the claims has proved beyond a doubt
that the property is all that is claimed
for it.
The company expects soon to place a
diamond drill in operation to prospect
the ledge more thoroughly. believing
this system of developing to be the
most economical.
M. r. IaEtue returned last Monday
from n visit to mining properties he IS
interested in about nine miles south
east of Vail station in the Santa Rita
mountains. with Kessler and Lavery
Mr. La Rue had number Of fine cop
per specimens taken from the Singa-
pore claim, which will assay from 10
TO IS per cent copper and u ounces
; silver. The surface ore is carbonate
and at a depth of 90 feet they en-
countered sulphides. Other specimens
of copper glance looked good to us and
Mr.. La Rue said they would average
80 per cent copper and some &c ounces
OF silver. This ore was from the Cop
per Glance claim on which a tunnel
has been run in some % feet. Their
Copper Queen claim has 60 feet of de-
velCpment work and shows good in
dicatious. The claims are on lime and
porphyry contact, several tons Of ore
are on the dump and taking all in all
the prospect is worthy of consideration

practical ideas of operating, there is no
better verification of the knowledge and
judgment of the pioneer than that
which the present answers in the spe-
cifc case of the old Chicago mine on
Groom creek and the success that is
following its development work today.
Like Vulnerable old time claims it has
gone through the mill OF occasional
spurts-gCod and bad. as it were Not
until recently. however. has it's c6nsid-
Grafton demanded the merit due it. and
when we state that it has passed the
stage of experimental work and class
II as \ mine, and good one at that
such an assertion will be weighed BY
the most eXacting as perfectly legiti-
mate. Attending the operation OF this
mine in the past few months, and the
showing it makes today, the results art-
gratifying. The main shaft has reach
ed depth of over $50 feet, and in ad-
dition to this there are levels and other
work. The best showing is on the sec
ond level where a vein of ore from
three to five feet has been hit, 20 inches
of which will go $500 to the ton, and the
balance about $50. Following up this
strike the main shaft will be sunk to
z depth of 800 feet. while on the Bloom
ington claim. that adjoins the end
OF the Chicago, and which is a continu
alton of the latter. 5000 feet distant,
contract has been let to eXend the
tunnel which will strike the vein
ut 4 depth of 300 feet. With the work
now going on on the Chicago. and the
general prospecting of the lead on the
bloomington, the property will be
thoroughly explored. The Chicago
claim lays in Il line between the Monte
Christie and the Empire in a formation
of granite and porphyry, it's ere being
a sulphide, carrying gold and silver
values. 1t is in a well watered and
timbered section and is on the main
wagon road to Prescott, distant but
seven miles. The company is incccpor-
ated, but limited in membership, there
being no stock for sale. E. NJ. Clark
the original owner, is on the ground
and associated with him as the general
manager of the company is George
Wood who is also interested. The gen.
eral affairs of this company were never
better. and the district seems to be
very active and much inquired after.

in age and work they are necessarily
entitled to be considered as mineral pa
rents of this section. The history of
this group is identical to that OF so
many others that are today being work
ed under the influence and conditions
that prevail in having capital and
practical regard extended. and had it
not been that the men who sold this
week were unable to handle their prop
critics in i financial manner worthy Of
the same, probably the transfer would
never have taken place Considering
the conditions that prevailed 4 genera
ton age in methods and expense or
mining and treating ore. the record Of
this property is certainly a good one
and it is probably due to this fact that
the sale has it's foundation for a sum
running into thousands. Mr.. Kelly. one

ANOTHER ONYX SALE.

The Denver Onyx and Marble COM
pany, mention of which was made re-
Gently, have purchased the beds Of the
Arizona Onyx company. located at
Mayer. and which adjoins their
property. This gives the first named
corporation a vast field in which
to operate. and following the sale it is
said the general working of the ground
will follow on an extensive plan. The
ground of the Arizona People will be
taken over in September. and will be
operated in conjunction with the orig
inal purchase some weeks ago. The
quarrying of stone continues as previ-
ously announced and the first shipment

made. difficulty is experienced in
