gold armor plate runs clear through the nearby hills or not but he said he saw a piece from the croppings several 'inches in diameter. An effort was made to get bIm to back up and start over but he refuses to give an inch in the size of this cropping or an eighth of an inch in the thickness of the sheet gold. His eyes never yet went back on him and he still trusts them. In this same vicinity there is a great deal of what is called placer gold that seems to be a sort of honey comb float, very rich in the yellow metal. This report though need not cause any rush to that point for the property has already been taken over by a company formed by Charles Pickenbach. the man who discovered the King of Arizona gold mine, one of the big producers of the southwest MT. Pickenbach paid for the property partly in cash and partly in the stock of the new company. but what the figures were MT. Melczer did not learn.
 A MOUNTAIN TRIP. - Dr. J. c. Norton. territorial veterinarian, has returned from a weeks trip to Globe and other points in Cherry Creek, and the valleys and canyons forty and fifty miles north of Roosevelt Four days of the time was spent in the saddle, across villianous trails and in a coun- try where everything is on the edge, including appetities. The luxuries that Dr. Norton subsisted on were rab- bit and some jerky and it was a long aIc ri nf journey. He would advise anyone taking such a jaunt to go we'll pro visioned and with blankets, as his ex- perience in sleeping on the ground with a single saddle blanket for a bed. convinced him that more parapher- nalia was needed. From sanitary point he found everything good. Up in the Cherry Creek and Coon Creek country there are several large herds of cattle. This country is almost in accessible for wagons and all supplies must be carried in on pack animals. He lost one day by travelling a wrong trail for some distance before discov- ering his mistake. His guide turned back at Horseshoe bend on the Salt river and the remainder of the trip Dr. Norton made alone. In going over to Cherry Creek he found out some thing of the value of a sign board pointing out the two separate trails, one leading to the site of the Globe water power plant and the other to Cherry Creek. Coming down to koose- welt and the dam site from the north. it impressed Dr. Norton that one could get the most favorable view of the great watershed which drains into the reservoir. There are canyons and di- vides for many miles north in that country and no old timer in that sec ton doubts for a minute the certainty that the reservoir can be filled in a short time. After going over this great watershed even the most scepti- cal would be convinced as to the mag nitude of the undertaking and its in- evitable success. With a few months of favorable weather, the permanent dam will be built high enough to act as it's own coffer dam. If the doubting Thomases with the persistent Mis- sourian idea would go over the same route to get a view of the project as Dr. Norton took their minds would forever be clarified of all uncer- tainties.
