FLOCKING IN
New and Rich Finds
in the New Gold Fields
Great Dykes of GoId-Bearing Rock
Being Opened Up

The rush to the new gold fields south
Of Kingman continues. In the can
yons and far into the valley many
pros spectors have established their
camps and are going over the field
early and late carefully looking for the
outcrop of vein or dyke of gold bear.
ing rock. Every class OF rock in
place IL located by the gold hunters,
although it is apparent that the granite
carries no values, except where it
comes in contact with quartz or spar.
The principal values in the original
location are found in the magnetic
iron in feldspsthic quartz. This lies
against quartz vein in contact with
the great lava flow of that region, In
the quartz vein there are small stresks
Of clay into which the teachings from
the lsvas have brought immense values
in gold. 1t is the theory of the miner.
alogists that these great dykes have
been minerslized from the teaching of
the lavas during the thousands of
years since the subsistence of the great
volcanic disturbance in that region and
that along that contact there will be
found magnificent bodies of rich gold
bearing ores. The region of contact
has been located for at least ten miles
and pros pectors are still looking for
vein and dyke far on toward the Wal
lapai mountains. At the Lookout
mine, recently purchased OF j. s. With
ers by q. Chss. Davis for account Of
the new company, there have been
taken pockets Of immensely rich gold
ore. The new company is to put men
to work on the mine at once aud
develop it several hundred feet in
depth, and it is the general belief that
wonderful ore will be found. In the
intervening country, between the
original strike and the l. jokout, dykes
carrying from SO to 360s have been
found and located.

in the location OF claims and the
chances are this will result in the ind
ing of many big low grade mines.
These big dykes, carrying values of SO
to the ton, can be mined aud milled at
profit in that locality. Only few of
the mines are more than four miles
from the railroad, while the greater
numbe are no more than one mile. A
big power plant on the railroad can
readily furnish the necessary power to
all the mines and mills and water can
be developed at almost any point in
the field sufficient for all mining and
milling purposes. In case of failure to
obtain the necessary water at that
point it can be developed in the basin
at this place and run by gravity to any
part Of the field, the fall being more
than 20J feet Should large quantity
be developed the fall could be utilized
in a measure to generate power at the
mines. No district ever discovered in
Arizona is situated in a more favorable
locality than is this new gold field.
On the outskirts of the field many
small veins OF shipping ore have been
found and the lucky owners are getting
to work on them In earnest. All these
small veins carry the values in iron
hematite and the vein filling is quartz.
At the old Railroad Spring, George
Bonelli and Arthur Edwards have To-
Gated two claims, which run through
the volcanic flow for some distance,
disappearing under the great Gaping
east and west. From this vein Mr..
Bonelli obtained results Of SO aud 360S
to the ton. Few men would have
looked into this canyon with the idea
OF finding mineral, but it appears that
the old saying that "gold Is where you
nd it" is true in this instance. The
two men are to go to work on their
properties at once.
While looking over the field few
days ago, we ran across quite mum Der
of prospectors from the north end of
the Wsllapai district, as well as many
from the Gold Road and Leland camps.
Many strangers are in the field and
these appear to have the best Ia ok in
finding mineral. Every day brings
new men while many of the old pros
pectors have failed to get anything and
are getting out. The ores are so diff
