EXCITEMENT OVER RICH GOLD
GOLD STRIKE.

Wickenburg is agog with excite
mcnt over very rich mineral strike in
the Harqua iIals mountains" said w.
j. Gilbert, the Gilbert merchant, who
arrived here yesterday from Gilbert
after stopping over Friday night in
Wickenburg.
"Ncws Of the find was brought to
wickenburg by two Mexican prospect
ors, who made the discovery" he said.
Several Wickenburg merchants and
business men are interested in the find
with the Mexicans, who were grub
staked 10y them.
1.-TWO feet or ore was found on the
apex of ledge that samples more than
5000 TO the ton, good portion of IL
assaying thousands Of dollars To the
ton. A sack of the ore was brought in
by the discovcrers, every piece showing
gold. plainly visible 10 the naked eye,
indicating that the strike may prove
among the richest made in that region
Of mineral wonders in many years.
"a large outfit is being equipped TO
leave at once for the place, which is
said to be ninety miles southwest OF
Wickcnburg and twelve miles west Of
Mesquite Wells.
"Thc lieky prospectors were absent
long time, none of the men who as
sisted in grubstaking them knowing
anything of their whereabouts. Their
return to the place was unexpected and
when they showed the rich specimens
from their discovery IL was an agree
able surprise to those associated with
them. The find was made in a section
of the mountains where very little
prospecting has been done, and at con
siderable distance from living water
4 number of prospectors Of the Wick

probable that the coming week will see

END OF FAMOUS TAX SUIT Is IN
SIGHT.

The end Of the famous United Verde
tax suit. which mas become of Terri
toral Importance, and one Of the most
bitter lawsuits ever waged in Arizona,
since its origin in 1902, seems in sight,
and from the action taken in the dis.
trict court, yesterday, it seems safe
inference that the United Verde Cop.
per company will have to pay the Sll,'
600 or more now involved.
Judge Sloan yesterday overruled de-
PENDANTS demurrer 10 the complaint
and sustained plaintiffs demurrer to
defendants answer, allowing defend
ants attorneys, Norris a Ross, time in
which to file an amended answer, how.
ever.
The controversy originated over an
attempt of the tax collector of favapai
county TO collect taxes from the United
Verde on n l,250. 900 assessment, made
by Assessor willard, in 1902. Repre-
sentatives of the copper company siren
uously resisted the assessment before
the tnen board Of supervisors sitting ms
board of equalization, and the matter
speedily became n political issue, the
board being assailed by partisans OF
both sides both in Office and on the
streets, but the assessment was finally
sustained.
The United Verde company then APP
pealed from the decision of the board
Of equalization but the appeal was dis
missed by Judge Sloan on the ground
that no appeal bond, as fixed by law
had been given. The ease then dragged
along until July, 1908, new board OF
supervisors, composed chiefly of Demo
Gratis, having been elected in the mean
time, tne assessment playing big par
in the election, il having been made NJ
