$2OO,OOO GOLD ORE
 FOUND IN FINAL
Undoubtedly Richest Strike Ever Made in Arizona
 Gold Claim.

With ore assaying over $200,0o0 to the ton, probably the richest ever found in Arizona, $. D. Gardner spent today in Phoenix, displaying a sample of his rich strike to several eyes al- most bulged out when they looked on the wonderful piece of ore, says the Phoenix Enterprise.
 Gardom has found ore of this kind in three places on ledge 800 feet long and from four to twelve inches wide, which runs through the Two Queen group, six miles north of Dud- leyville, in Pinal county.
 To prevent thieves visiting the ledge and stealing the rich ore, Gar dom has thus far refused to tell on what part of the group it is located. The three places from which he has taken the rich samples he has covered up in such a manner that it would not be noticed that any of the rock had ever been touched.
 When Gardom took out the first sample he had it assayed s11s,053.s0. The second was still richer and from the third he has already taken over s200 worth of the rich stuff. While at the ledge a few days ago Garfom took out enough of the ore with a pick. which he broke up, and separating the gold fro mthe quart1 gathered s200 worth of gold, sending !, it to- parties in Los Angeles who arc l interested with him.
 ] Gardom does not yet himself know the extent of the rich ore. He ha. not opened it up, for to do so would mean to attract attention and th' putting on of a guard night and day to prevent others working the ledge during his absence.
 Not even excepting the famous Vul ture mine, Gardom thinks he has thu richest gold proposition ever iiscov cred in Arizona. Though the develop ment work on the rich ledge is prac tically none, he believes that a shaf will uncover even richer ore than h
 has found.
 l In Dudleyville Gardon's fabulau strike has caused much excitement and claims in that vicinity of the Tw Queens group that has not been stake' is being taken up for several mile in almost every direction. Each hope to get an extension of his ledge iron | foly en. Before making the rich find Gar dom organized the Central Mining Development company. of which $. H Snyder is president and C. G. Verne ] vice president. Both reside in Lo Angeles. Gardom is superintendent and makes his home at Dudleyviile. i Kansas City people are interested and have promised to take a Iarg'
 block of the company's stock, thu proceeds to be used in the develop ment of the claims. which are in thu Saddle Mountain district.
 Garjom states that a general aver age of the ore, taken from all part Of the six claims, is s29 to the ton il gold and copper. Several big ledge | average even higher than that. Within a short time Gardom vii have s150.000 to be used in sinkin; shafts and running drifts. When som i of the stockholders learned of tn first strike of s11s,o52.s0 ore they a once guaranteed s25.000 to be used a
 once in development
 Work done thus far on any part o the group is of a surface nature. Som thirty openings have been made an' in each of them ore running high il value has been found
 Gardom states that his first worl will not be done on the rich ledge preferring to open up other parts O the group before this is touched. H, expects to strike ore almost as ricl in other parts of the group.
