and Australia.
For several months those interested
in the enterprise have been very quiet
lv and in the most secret manner TAX
ing up and perfecting locations, until
day before yesterday, when they made
public their find. they had sixteen
claims with the required initial work
done on them all. As soon as the
news became known many prospectors
rushed to the scene and within few
hours a large number of locations were
made.
Concerning the proposition c. n.
Randolph and A. NJ. Williams, two of
the interested parties, had the follow
ing to say: 1--WE have here a large
number of assays from reputable Los
Angeles assayers ranging from few
dollars to as high as 4Il.25S a ton. We
firmly believe that we have acres and
acres of ore that will 90 better than

closed a deal with eastern capitalists
whereby a corporation with capitali.

will take over the property, paying u,

Editor Tom Weedin Busy.

The editor of the Blade returned
from Pittsburg, Pima county, Sunday,
and left Thursday for Mineral Creek
district to examine some mining prop
critics. f. L. Perham. who had con-
tract for sinking the double compart-
ment Weedin shaft at Pittsburg to a
depth of 800 feet, has relinquished the
contract and the company has put on a
large crew of men under Foreman
johnson. A station has been cut out
at the 320-foot level and two crOSs-cutS
started from this station, one to the
southwest and the other 20 the north
east. Both of these crOss-cuts will cut
tilted ore beds. A sinking crew has
been placed in the shaft and the latter
will be continued down to the 800 foot
level as fast as possible. At $40 feet,
the present depth of the shaft, the in
flow of water averages about two gal
Ions per minute. This will be con-
siderably increased when the cross
cuts above mentioned tap the ore beds
toward which they are pointed, but
this will be taken care of at the sta
tion by a station pump and a catch
ment sump placed back from the shaft.
There are a dozen tilted parallel ore
beds on either side of the Weedin
shaft that will be reached by the above
mentioned cross cuts. all of whicl
show good ore along the line of THEN

The largest nugget of gold ever
found in Rhodesia was recently ex-
tracted from an alluvial working near
Bulawayo, South Rhodesia. The mug
get weighed very nearly % ounces,
being five and one half inches long
and three inches wide. Gold mining
in Rhodesia has been carried on from
ancient times. Very little alluvial
mining has been done and the finding
of this large nugget will doubtless
stimulate prospecting for placer de-
posits. The gold output of Rhodesia
for 1905 was 4O9,3l9 fine ounces, $780,
624. which is 24l, ,5Sl ounces, 1898, ,479S,
more than 1904. The above mentioned
nugget is on exhibition in the mus
cum of the British South African
Company, London, England Mining

Arizona Scheme to Develop Much
Water.

About three years ago the work OF
tunneling into Graham mountain was
commenced. Previous to this, how
ever. the best engineering talent in
the country was secured, to locate a
site for a reservoir. The main object
of the promoters was to secure an
abundant flow of water from the depths
of this mountain range, then store 1t
in a mammoth reservoir, from which
could he generated power sufficient to
run all machinery that would ever be
needed in the Gila valley. The en-
gineers selected a splendid site. and if
the promoters are successful, there
will be enough water to supply every
ranchmen in the valley, besides gen
Grating power for the mills, factories,
etc. within radius of several miles.
Another important object the promot-
ers have in view is the finding of rich
mineral veins. If water is not found
in quantities hoped for, rich mine
may be found, either of which would
be of great benefit to this valley. The
chances for finding the former are
certainly very good. During the dry
est times in past years water has been
ound in nearly all the can! o1s, where
it bubbled forth from springs that
seldom ever fail. Experts are of the
o,,inion that somewhere south of the
Graham mountain. not far distant, is
large underground lake, which sup
plies a vast area of country. 1t is pos
/ itively known also, that the Sulphur

KINGMAN, ARIZONA, APRIL 2S, 1906

feet above the Triumph tunnel site.

an inexhaustible supply of water;
therefore, the changes are good that

When we visited the Haley-Souffrien
lead mines on Mineral Creek, six
years ago, there were over 1000 tons
of high grade ore on the dumps and in
sight They looked to US then like
great bonanzas. From that time until
now, the plucky and industrious own
ers have been digging away at them,
opening new ore bodies and piling
more ore on the dumps. As a result,
we found upon arriving at their camp
a few days since, about 1900 tons of
high-grade ore on the dumps and in
sight. This is, beyond any question,
the greatest lead mine in Arizona

Artesian Water.

Parties experienced in prospecting
for artesian water are persuaded that
the Santa Cruz valley is within the
artesian water probabilities and that
n reasonable depth will develop large
supply at many points within the limit
of Pima and Santa Cruz counties.
Practical experiment are about to be
inaugurated to test this promising un-
developed wealth resource of Santa
Cruz valley. Should success meet the
efforts of those who engage in this
promising industry, Santa Cruz valley
is liable to become the home of thou
sands of families, industrious cultiva-
tors of the soil, which will give to
these counties a most desirable. the
most substantial citizenship of the
commonwealth. Let our people give
this enterprising undertaking every
encouragement in their power, for it
means much for Tucson and all other
ndustries.-Star.
