a Medium Sullivan Locates
a Valuable Mine

Charles II. Hooker has returned to
Bisbee, Ariz., from the scene Of the re-
cent great strike in the southern part
of the territory and is full of enthusi-
asm for the district. He remained two
days at the Tom Carrigan mine, and
says, so far as development work has
gone, it Is a wonderful property ON
his way in he met John Hayes Ham
nond, the noted mining expert, return
ing from the new fields, where he had
heen exporting the Carrigan property.
1t was told Mr.. Hooker by one of
those interested that Hammond had
reported favorably on the property
and that his people had taken bond
on the group at 100000 and had made
q cash payment thereon. This price
is remarkable from the fact that the
deepest hole on the group is not down
fifteen feet. In company with Scott
81 Williams, Mr.. Hooker is sending
George Merritt and George Brookshire
into that country on a prospecting trip.
Hooker says that there are many men
going into the country without a cent
in their pockets. This, he says, Is
great mistake, as there is no work and
the district is forty miles from the rail-
road.
Peach Orchard Claim
The Yreka (Cal.) Journal states that
a Los Angeles company has made ar
rangements with the lessees and own
ers of the Pine Tree Grove Qknown as
the Peach Orchard claim), and are
going to operate the same with a
hydraulic elevator, using water from
Mckinney creek. This is one of the
richest bars on the klamath river, ana
from 81 to $40 to the pan has been
taken from bedrock. The company is
now operating the hydraulic mine on
the north bank of the klamath river,
a short distance below Oak bar. There
is great activity on the klamath be-
tween Gottville and Oak bar, covering
about fifteen miles of the river, and
by spring the whole river will be BOOM
ing.
The rich quartz Of granite formation
from the Highland mine on Salmon
mountain appears to be extending east
ward toward the summit, where rock
of the same character has been found
that may contain $40 to the pound when
developed. Good lodges may yet be
found ON the Etna side of the Salmon
mountain, as well as on the Sawyer's
bar side. Old miners used to ridicule
the idea of finding rich quartz on
Salmon mountain this side of Sawyer's,
the same as they did about finding good
quartz in the Scott and Shasta valley
divide, where the Dewey mine was dis
covered.
b. Shearer have men at work devel-
oping a quartz ledge on top of the
mountain near the Shasta river cleo
trio light plant, from which good pros
poets have been realized. A shaft has
been sunk about seventy feet and some
of the quartz tested has yielded $40
TO $50. A small pocket found last year
by r. M. Brown was pounded out and
contained about 5000. Newt Gordon is
working on another good ledge at the
foot of the same mountain.
Afterthoueht Strike
The Redding Free Press announces
that fine body of ore has been
opened up most Unexpectedly by Super
intendent Bretherton at the After
thought mine, Shasta county, at a
point on the surface from which he
had been taking gossan as tluX for
the smelter. The gossan contained
some gold AT depth of about twelve
feet he has come upon as fine body
of ore as was ever encountered at
the mine. The copper values range
from to II per cent and the gold and
silver values are correspondingly high.
The copper occurs in carbonates and
oxides, as well as sulphides, A cross
cut shows the deposit to be at least
thirty feet across.
Los Angeles parties are developing
the Zulu mine, located on French
gulch, two miles from Coarse Gold,
MADEIRA, Cal. Electric power will be
provided.
The property of the Gold Park Min
ing company, ]. w. Green supern-
tendent, is located IS miles from Col
ton, just where Riverside and San
Bernardino counties join. In an area
of two square miles the company owns
fifty-two claims. The company is
practically in its infancy just now
and is not shipping at present. al
though they have found exceedingly
rich ore. In the immediate future they
contemplate sinking a one thousand
foot shaft and with new machinery
some of which is already on the
ground. will commence systematic min
ing. The improvements for next year
will cost between 100000 and $4,000
and with the sinking Of new shafts
may run up to $4,000.
Found Mine and Brother
The Prescott, Arizona, Journal
Miner tells an interesting story in con-
nection with the recent rich strike of
the Great Republic Copper & Gold
Mining company,
The story runs as follows:
Two years ago D. p. Sullivan then
heavy Gamer of fish and other meats
in Washington, began the search for his
long lost brother. From personal and
other sources he traced the latter to he
Klondike. to Montana, to California ana
to other places; he Travelled wherever
directed and failed in each attempt
Arizona was never dreamed of as
the abode of his brother, and he finally
despaired until less than a year ago,
when he was told to consult a well
known spiritualist residing in San
Francisco This he did, The medium,
a woman, directed him TO Arizona, and
hither Mr.. Sullivan came, The medium
in the course of her instructions TO
him designated this particular section
and in directing Mr.. Sullivan here, also
gave him vivid picture of the mine in
which his brother was operating; de-
tailed to him the topography of the
site where the mine was situated; drew
a picture of the location of the build
ings comprising the camp, and their
various uses, particularly singing our
a huge cottonwood tree that was stand.
ing alongside the house occupied by
his brother. These and other minor
matters that she related, created a deep
impression upon the hearer
Mediums Prediction
The medium also informed Mr. SulIi-
van that the mine WAS soon to be a
