THE WINTERS STRIKE.
Further Details Regarding the Ne"
Bonanza Find.


A strike has been made sometime
during the past month near the Win
tiers mine that rivals the sensational
strikes that have been made in tie
southern country. Some OF the assays
bringing the values up to $1Oo,Z63
ton. A few moments with pencil
will show the ore to be worth $oo
pound. Other assays taken at various
spots on the ledge show values rang
ing from $500 to thousands of dollars
per ton The ledge was first discoT-
cred by Hans lessen and F. n. Hubbel |
about six months ago. Assays thea
taken from the immediate surface Of
the ledge showed values ranging from
$500 into the thousands.
lessen and Hubbel were attracted
to the ground by small pieces or f1oa1
that upon investigation proved to he
immensely rich, but nowhere was the
ledge apparent.
They dug around where the float
showed well, and finally at distance
Of about ten feet they uncovered the
fortunate strike which will prove to
be one Of the richest mines ever uncoy-
cred in this section. The ledge having
been covered with ten feet of debris
etc. settling on it. The fact of its dis
eovery was known fer some time but
for apparent reasons it was not made
public Since the first of the year con
siderable money was expended on the
discovery in having the ledge stripped
for a distance of about three hundred
feet. When first discovered it was
about a ten inch streak but has widen
ed out to vel defined ledge of about
two feet and all carrying phenomenal
values
The discovery is but the beginning,
of the most active mining operations
ever carried on in this section. a
number of other claim sapart from the
Winters mine and adjoining the rich
discovery are now being actively de-
veloped
The fortunate owners of the proper
ty are the McCrossen Company and
the Douglas Mining and Reduction
Company. The McCrossen Company
obtained their interest from Mr. HUB.
bel, one of the original owners
Last November Mr. Hubbel was en-
plOyed by the Douglas Mining and Re
duction Co.. to operate the Winters
mine, and erect cyanide plant, if the
tests to be made would show values
sufficient to warrant the expense o1
erecting the plant. The first thins
that Mr.. Hubbel did was to demon
strate that the tailings did contain
the values and that they could be pro
ftably be worked by the cyanide pro
~cess. Upon the showing made tn,
company had the plant erected. Sine
then tests have made have cOnfirme
the findings of Mr.. Hubbel in ever
particular. Some of the rich ore wi
shortly be put through the mill an
before long, bars of bullion will be tai

the wonderful richness of the countr

under development mature.
The discovery, if we are directly i
formed, is a short distance from Il
Winters mine on the Red CanyC
side.
Unquestionably. the wonderful fiji
will result in adding renewed ener
to all mining operations now bel
carried on in the districts mention
as well as the pine nut country and
the Buckeye Districts. All these d
tricts are tributary to the lede
