with depth, the ores are mostly a fer -porphoretic quartz and carbonates of manganese. brown hematite and OK idle. This gold ore belt is on the same and continuous belt as Vulture, liar qua Hala, Congress, the mines of the Cedar mining district. Gold road, Chlo- Chloride. Crossing the Colorado river into California mines we meet the Searchlight gold mining district. Bull frog. Tonopan. and on to the great Comstock. In Idaho to Mountain Home mines. through Baker City, Oreg.. mines and north, and south through Maricopa county, Pinal, Pima. and on through Sonora, Mexico, where we meet the rich gold mines of Altar and Magdalena and Hermosilla and Green Consolidated Gold company, and south, forming what will be the great est gold producing mining belt on this continent.
 The following mines deserve more than passing mention: The Gila Gold Lode mines under the management of s. w. Haines, has over 1900 feet of development and a depth of 300 feet, ledge from three to eIght feet wide between walls, with pay ore of high grade from one foot to three feet on fifty-foot level, to three to eight feet on lower level, and at a conservative estimate over 27.00O tons ready for stOping.
 The Burson Consolidated, lying west and on the same lode, and having sev- eral hundred feet of development. has a record of high grade milling ore. On the east of Gila gold lode mines and on the same lode are mines of Maddox and Strobe and F. Volz, with several hundred feet of development showing the same nature of ore as the Gila gold lode.
 The Little Jessie mine. owned b' Maddox and Towers, Is well adapted. is on a parallel lode south of the above lode, although the pay ore is only from six to eighteen inches. It shows from pan test to average from S20 to $50 per ton. A one-stamp mill is now be- ing erected by Maddox and Towers. The Golden Gate claims are also well developed, are on a north and south lode, lying north of Gila gold lode This also shows the same ores as above and has 15O feet of development. The Dunn and Welch mine, lying north of Gila gold lode, mas over TOO feet of development The ledge runs north and south about three to four feet wide. The ores are of the same na- ture as the above mines. I have visit ed mines on this gold belt Tn Sonora. Mexico, Pinal county, Ariz., Maricopa, Ariz., Yavapai county, Mojave county, | Cedar, Gold Roads. Searchlight, also | in California, Nevada, Idaho and be- lieve the properties in White Tank mining district will compare well with any on the gold belt, as the future will prove when depth is reached and development is accomplished. There is no doubt but that this gold belt is a l settled fact, and easterly from it cop per and silver predominates. West. | gold predmoinates on to the Pa cific ocean. covering on its way the | great placers that have yielded mill ! lions. Where is the source of all thls | gold? If the infIltration theory is cor rect, was it the same flow that fur nished gold in our present Assures and | also deposited gold in the placers. or
 was it the erosion of centuries from
 the great gold belt that furnished the | gold that was deposited in the placers
 that have furnished untold millions | From my examinations the gold belt | in Arizona is a good field for investors
 There are a few properties that came
 under my observation that are past
 the prospective stage that mining men
 with capital can secure at reasonable | terms that will develop into good
 mines. The time is near at hand when | gold mines in Arizona will rank with | the great mines of the north Why go | to Alaska and freeze or to Mexico 1 where life is not safe? Come to Ari-
 zona, the land of sunshine, where
 riches await you in all the precious metals, ready for brains, muscle and
 capital to develop into mines that will
 not only increase your wealth, but the
 wealth of the whole nation.
