more being piled up.
Some remarkably rich specimens of gold
ore have been brought to Crackerjack by
j. D. Hendricks, who says that the scene
of the new strike is in the Bitter Springs
district, south of Red pass. For several
years prospectors have been finding rich
float in the washes around Bitter Springs,
but none has ever succeeded in finding
the outcrop. The existence of the float
has been known to many in this part OF
the desert and several outfits have at
tempted to trace the float to its origin.
It is possible that the new find Of Hen
bricks and partners may be the long
sought for Bitter Springs ledge. How
ever, the samples shown in CrackerJack
were full of free gold and evidently ran
up into the thousands in value. Hendricks
Departed last week for the scene of his
strike after maintaining discreet silence
as to its exact location.
