IMMENSE WALL
 OF GOLD QUARTZ
Nature Lavish With
 Precious Treasures.
Thrilling Description of One of Yavapai Caunty'S We'll Known
 Mining Districts.

Six thousand two hundred and fifty feet above sea level in Walker mining district, Yavapai county, Arizona, is located the we'll known Buzzard group of mines consisting of the BuZzard, Buzzard No. ?, Senate, Marvel, Eagle, Iron King and Tiger claims.
 The first thing that attracts the vis itor's attention is hard smooth wall skirting the base of the mountain and 'ilted to near the same angle as the slope of the hill.
 A close examination reveals this wall to be large vein of quartz and further acquaintance with the district shows the samo vein beginning two miles south crossing Lynx creek and extending for several miles through the country with occasional great bodies of ore. Looking north and south the eye can trace the course of this vein for long distance. The bold brown outcroppiDgs of the BuZ- gard and the white quartz of the Se- nate being particularly we'll defined. On the Buzzard this lode marks the beginning of great gold zone that extends southeasterly and northwestern ly near the base of the mountain and close to the wagon road is the first ore shoot of the BuZzard mine. To reach the apex of this shoot we must climb several hundred feet over a great sheet of ore that covers the south slope of the mountain. The hanging wall of the vein is eroded exposing the ore in large quantities; at several openings along the ledge and across the face of this ore sheet hundred of tons worth the hammer and pick of the miner.
 For miles along the wagon road lead ing to the mine the float from this vein may be found large boulders of iron stained quartz, rich in free gold, that were broken from the vein and carried down by floods. For untold ages, the mills of the Gods have been grinding on this ore, as evidenced by the fact that for years placer miners washed the yellow dust from the sands of the creek below. But this vein though from two to four feet wide is comparatively small affair. As we leave its apex and go farther south, and not pausing to more than glance at two other promising veins, we come to the edge of cliff overhanding a gulch that marks the eastern limit of the mountain.
 The bottom of the gulch is strewn with large bouldeTs of rusty quartz broken from the cliff and along the hillside large masses of ore lie as they have fallen from the ledge giving to man the key to this great storehouse of wealth.
 As we retrace our steps over the hill to have look al still another great ledge on the western slope of the mountain we cannot help remarking the beauty of the scenery. Below us is the valley of Walker-broad and green encircled by gentle slopes dott- ed with evergreen, pine and oak lead ing to steep and pTecipitious noun tains. Far in the south and sharply defined against the sky the Bradshaw range with its remarkable peaks grows purple in the midst of the scenery, while the west wind blows softly with just a hint in its breath of the ocean it comes from more than six hundred miles away. With an elevation above sea level of over six thousand feet the climate is very fine, perpetual sum- shine, pure air and other conditions, so far as nature has done her work, seem almost perfectly arranged to ere ate here an idael mining camp.
 It remains for capital to provide proper facilities for separating from their rocky matrix the precious metals that have proven to exist in payable quantities in this greatest of mineral deposits. Nickel.
