Ever since the discovery of the Peek
mine startled the entire country 10y
the extent and value of its mineral de-
posits, the Bradshaw mountains have
almost annually attracted the attention
Of the community by new finds, which
although not as rich and extensive as
the one referred to, still are little
short of marvellous. The history of
mining in these parts dates back when
the nearest railroad was over three
hundred miles distant, and when In
dian depredaiions and murders contri'
buted much towards making the life of
the miner and prospector an extremely
hazardous one.
The latest find 10 attract attention TO
this wonderful locality was made a
few months ago by Henry Stoddnrd,
who with his partners, managed TO
keep the matter secret until ycster-
day. when he arrived here from the
Peek district, and exhibited n chunk
Of ore sawed from n boulder weighing
80 pounds, which assayed 600 ounces
TO the ton in silver, with one ounce In
gold and high percentage Of lead.
In the month of November last
Stoddard while prospecting, found the
boulder in the bottom of a deep gulch.
At first he thought it TO be piece of
mnllapai, and wondering that n piece
Of that formation should be found
there. struck IL with his pick and
found that it would not break. Fur.
Their examination disclosed the fact
that il was almost pure metal, so he
procured n saw and cut n chunk of,
and had IL assayed, getting the re-
turns given above. Becoming very
much interested he commenced search
for the ledge from which IL came, and
few days later was rewarded by
finding the outcrop Of the vein in n
gulch about two miles farther up the
mountain. lie dug into the vein and
found the same character of ore and
fully as rich as the piece sawed from
the boulder. A few days later he as,
sociated with him Frank Giroux, the
foreman of the blackberry mine, and
his brother Peter Giroux, both miners
of many years residence in this coun'
ty A further examination of the pre-
misses, while completing the location
and building monuments, disclosed the
fact that the ground had already been
appropriated by goat herder named
Ranger, who had previously found the
outcrop, but who had not informed
himself of its value by having an as
say made. A bond on the property
was secured from Ranger by paying
him $500 in cash with the promise Of
a further cash payment Of $4,000 on or
before the first of January, 1907.

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR CHERRY
CREEK DISTRICT.
(From Sundays Daily.1

~ believe that the coming year will
be the most prosperous that we ever
had in this county, said l.. y. Won.
baeher, the Cherry creek mining man,
To Journal-M Miner man yesterday.
Conditions he said, "havc Ger.

the better during the past six months,
and from the number of properties
which are being opened up and the
mines that are changing hands. it can
easily he seen that outside capital is
commencing TO appreciate the posi-.
bilities of our mineral resources
Referring 90 the Cherry creek dis
trict, he said that the mill on the pro.
pertics of the Arizona Gold Lodes
company was working steadily on ore
from the mine, the main working shaft
of which was now down over 200 feet
and in splendid ore which seemed TO
be improving right along. A large
force Of men were at work there and
IN addition 10 the milling and concen.
trating ore being tahon out shipment
of the lead ores was being made ready
for transportation to the Humboldt

The Pau Extension Mining company
was also working large force and the
new working shaft was now down 80
a depth of l3j feet The shaft is
equipped with gasoline hoist and it is
the intention Of the management TO
continue IL TO depth of 800 feet,
where IL is expected the sulphidc zone
will be encountered. before any cx.
tcnsivc drifting or prosecuting win be
done.
J. X. Boyer and r. j. Brown have

William Allen Is also developing one
of the most promising prospects in
the district. and he expects TO have
a shipment ready in short time.
II was also learned from Mr.. Won.
bachcr that the mine he is developing
was turning out some very good ore,
and that he was negotiating for the
purchase of plant for installation at

MEN AND SUPPLIES GO TO A NEW
CAMP.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Men and supplies left this city
yesterday for the camp of the Chronicle
Gold Mining company, where active
development work will be commenced
at once. The property is located
about four miles east of this city and
enjoys the distinction of being the
closest one to town now in operation
The group, which is composed OF SIX
full claims named after the six San
francisco daily newspapers, tine
Chronicle, Examiner, Call, Bulletin
Post and Report, is situated on Lynx
creek Immediately above n part OF that
stream which has been noted for us

NATHoRsT TELLS OF WORK AT
HIS MINE.
(From Sundays Daily.l

Active development work has been
commenced on the properties of the
Long Beach and Arizona Mining com
pany, in the Black Hills district. The
group, which consists of ten claims, is
situate about eight miles east of Yae.
ger siding on the Bradshaw Mountain
railroad, and about one and n half miles
southeast of the camp of the Yaeger
Canyon Copper company.
&. T.. Nathorst, "A director of the com.
pany, when seen last evening nj the
Burke hotel, by. "A Journal. Miner re-
preventative, said that IL was the inten-
tion of the company to continue the
shaft ON the Rawhide claim 20 a depth
Of 800 feet before any drifting or cross
cutting was done. The shaft is al
ready down to the 100 foot level, and
shows good values in gold, with a
small percentage in copper all the
way down.
The mines are situate on a contact
Of porphyry and altered granite which
can be traced across the property for
considerable distance. Along the
contact there is an outcrop Of frontier
Gus quartz, from which assays OF ore
have been taken which gave returns
as high az $3.50 TO the ton in gold. IL
is his opinion that the values will
change from gold to copper when depth
is reached. This popularity Is noticed
in some of the best mines Of the dis
trict, many Of which were located for
the gold values found on the surface,
and which later when depth was
reached developed into large copper
bearing deposits.
The camp IL located in well tim
bered section of the range. with a
sufficient supply Of water for all pur
poses on the ground at all seasons OF
the year.
