FIND RICH VALUES IN
COCHISE COUNTY STRIKE
Said to Run Three Hundred Dollars a
Ton in Lead, Silver and Gold.
Is Near Dragon
Station

Ell CENTRIC, June 21.-Lead and sill
yer ore, the highest grade Of galena;
assays show an average value of over
500 per ton, and the richest ore going
over $500 per ton in gold, silver and
lead.
Such are the facts about the latest
and biggest strike made in the Cochise
mining district in years. The property
Is located about three and one-half
miles from Dragon station, in what is
known as the Gunnison hills, low
range of mountains lying between the
Big and Little Dragon mountains,
about two miles on the north side of the
main line of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, and about mile from the grade
of the new Johnson, Dragon & North
ern railroad.
The strike was made about fifteen
days ago and was kept as quiet as
possible until it could be ascertained
whether the strike was in vein or
only a pocket. Two weeks work has
demonstrated that it is good one and
that 1t grows greater with depth.
The discovery of the ledge was made
by two young men, F. A. Stroud and
Pearl Adams, who were prospecting.
They had gone to look at the property
at the instance of a friend who had filed
on the claims some two months preVi-
Gus and who was not able to handle
the assessment work, and had offered
an interest in the property to any one
who would do the necessary work.

new corporation which now controls
this property, composed of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, capitalists. has had a
force of men at work since February.
The old tunnels have been cleaned UP
and retimbered in many places. new
work has been pushed, large bodies OF
low-grade ore have been uncovered and
much high grade, assaying into the
hundreds of dollars. is in sight. The
present ten-stamp mill is being over
hauled and preparations are being
made for the installation of twenty
more stamps, making a battery OF
thirty A cyanit1ing plant will be put
in shortly and the old Riverside. with
the Sonnet and other connected proper
ties, is expected soon to be one OF the
biggest producers in the state.
The corporation is wealthy and is not
afraid to spend its money on the prop
erty. Within year big things may be
looked for from this mine.

GREAT BODY OF SILVER
STRUCK IN PINAL COUNTY

BISBEE, June 21.-A great body of
silver ore. running $146.06 to the ton,
has been uncovered on a group OF
claims owned by Riggs, Nesbitt and
Sullivan, four miles north of the old
Silver King mine in Pinal county.
The ore was discovered about two
years ago while the owners of the
claims were doing development work.
Numerous local assays failed to re-
turn values, and the mine was prac-
tically abandoned. Mr.. Riggs, however,
believed that the grayish colored ore
contained mineral wealth of some kind.
He had never seen anything exactly
like 1t In this section of the country,
and had bunch that 1t was something
good. About month ago, governed by
this belief, he sent a liberal quantity
of the ledge matter to the Colorado
School of Mines. He received a report
which shows that the ore runs 277.10
ounces in gold, the total values being
1906. The ore is pronounced silver
tellurium. There is a veritable noun
tain of it, all of which will assay as
high as the sample sent east and which
can be mined and marketed at big
profit at the present low price of silver.

SEARCHLIGHT, June 21.-Four To-
cal parties-Raymond H. Rice, s. w.
Warning, Will Cotton and Otto Bodie-
will soon tackle placer proposition on
the Colorado river, fifteen miles north
east of town, which has all the ear
marks Of a bonanza and ready money.
AS long as five years ago Rice came
up the river in a five-ton sailboat, with
one companion, and discovered a gravel
bench and long exposure of black sand,
which had one time marked bank of
the stream--now hundreds of feet dis
tant at the farthest point. The two

the gold was fine, and in sixteen lays
saved only about 80 cents a day.
The matter was recently put up to
Bodie, who had placer experience in
Alaska, and it's possibilities with a
ground sluicing plant was realized.
Thereupon the four parties mentioned
visited the property and industriously
panned the principal exposure for a
length of 1000 feet and a height up to
twelve feet and state that there were
no blanks, results ranging from few
colors to very long strings.
A total of about 1000 acres has been
taken up The plant which they are
now assembling includes a pumping
engine, hose, sluice boxes and finally
an amalgamation table to catch the last
of the flow. BY such a plant the re-
suits over that of the simple rocker
will be multiplied many times over.
There is great confidence among these
gentlemen that they possess an ideal
proposition of large proportions, and in
a few days time all will depart to
start operations.

TONOPAH, June 21.-An important
deal was transacted by wire yesterday
in Tonopah when Kirk L. Simpson. j.
a.. Buchanan, j. A. Buchanan, jr., and
Mr.. Knight purchased a valuable
piece of mining property in MADEIRA
county, Cal. The property consists of
four claims and mill site. 1t has 1900
feet OF work done in the shape of tun-
nels, drifts and wines. The ore has
plated over So per ton free milling
and the concentrates run over $4,000 a
ton. In company with the above named
gentlemen is a Chicago capitalist. who
yesterday placed to the credit of Mr..
Buchanan a large sum of money to be
used for the DEVELOPMENT of the prop
erty and the erection of ten-stamp
mill, an order for which was tele-
graphed to San Francisco last night.
1t is the intention of the owners to
go ahead with active development at
once on the property. The youngest
member of the owners of the property
is the 11-year-old son of Mr.. Buchanan,
who acquired fair knowledge of min
ing, having been with his father in
various properties.
Mr.. Buchanan and his son leave this
morning for Luning, where they will
close some business at that point and
then proceed to the scene of their new

DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 21.-There is
q report current but it cannot be con-
firmed that the Shattuck and Arizona
company had been sold to the Copper
Queen.
All Queen officials in authority to
talk are out of the district.
Arthur Houle, in charge Of the Shat
tuck interests here and prospective SUI
perintendent of the proposed Shettuck
smelter, said this morning that he knew
nothing of the rumor. He is not In
clined to believe that 1t Is true.
For six months there has been ru-
NOR here and over the district that the
Queen wants to buy the Shattuck and
had offered 100000 for the property
1t is believed that at least three promi-
nent directors do not favor the sale
Thomas Bardon, president; A. M. CHS
holm, secretary, and Lewis Hill. one OF
the prominent stockholders. They were
here recently. All are men of great
wealth, operating in Duluth, and they
indicated while here the greatest OPP
timism over the future of the property
II is not believed that any of them
would favor the sale at the hgure
quoted, at least.
While here they made the announce
ment that the smelter will be built here
and that work will start in three
months.

LOS ANGELES MAN HAS
GOLD IN WARREN CENTER
Quartz in Heart of Arizona Town
Runs to High Values.
Shaft Is Being
Sunk

BISBEE, Ariz., June 21.-Bisbee was
thrown into considerable excitement
yesterday by gold strike in the very
center OF the Warren district. The in
terest has grown with developments,
and men who are authority on mining
matters express their opinion that the
strike is big with promise to the future
of the camp. Hundreds Of people in
spected the ledge yesterday and al
were impressed with the prospective
value of the find.
The ore is in quartz, the ledge having
been discovered by accident up Brew
cry gulch by George L. Miller. who re-
Gently came here from Los Angeles.
Miller recently purchased a piece OF
property through l. w. Wallace, ana
was having excavations made for the
foundation of a new building. Some
of the Workmen who happened to be
miners were struck with the appear
ance of the quartz and brought several
specimens in to have them assayed.
The results were astonishing. one or
the specimens showed a value in gold
of 1920 and another 5000.
Work on the building was immedi-
ately stopped and a crew set to work
twelve feet and over 500 pounds of
ore, assaying over $1,000 a ton. has
been taken out. A specimen assayed
by S. J. Varney of this city ran as
follows Sixty-tWo ounces OF GOLD
$1240, 1873 ounces of silver $77.2S, total
value $1317.28.
The outcroppings, from which the
specimens have been taken and in
which the shaft is being sunk is about
five feet wide and runs northeast and
southeast toward the Cochise claims
1t is of course impossible to tell what
is in the ground until the vein is
struck, which it is probable will be
done at depth of twenty-five or even
fifty feet. Men who have been in Grip
pie Creek and Goldfield say that there
never was found better indication of
a gold mine in either of those camps.
1t has been maintained by prospec-
tors in this district for years that there
was gold in this section, because of the
indications from gold washed down the
gulches. Mexicans have for many
years made a living from this by placer
mining.

Mine

TUCSON Ariz., June 21.-After hav-
ing spent two days in examining the
property of the Ell Trio Mining COM
pany in the Silver Bell district, large
party of capitalists arrived In Tucson
and We're the guests of Mr.. Ormsby
at the Old Pueblo club.
The party, which is composed OF nu-
merous well known business men OF
the east, left New York city on June
6 and came directly to Arizona, spend
ing couple of days at the Grand can
yon. Leaving northern Arizona the
party went to Los Angeles. and two
days ago arrived at Red Rock, where
their cars were switched to the branch
line running to Silver Bell. The past
few days were spent at the well known
camp inspecting the property.
In speaking of conditions as he had
found them through this section of the
country and at the property, Charles
e. Ellis, secretary of the American Sc
curities and Finance company of New
York city, said:
s.Ali of the members of our party
were we'll pleased with the showing at
the property, and are glad that they
took the opportunity to visit Arizona,
which is but little known in the east,
although it led in copper production
last year."
The American Securities and Finance
company took over the Ell Trio property
about one year and a half ago. De-
velopment work has been going for
ward steadily, two shafts being sunk,
one to a depth of 307 feet and the
other to more than 200. About 5000 feet
of development work has been done
underground, and the ore which has
been exposed has averaged more than
IL per cent.

MILL TAILINGs WILL
BE TREATED BY CYANIDE

TOMBSTONE, June al. w. Daw-
son, who has been conducting series
of cyanide experiments at the Grand
Central mill tailings, near Fairbank,
was a Tombstone visitor. Mr.. Dawson
says arrangements are being made to
resume work on the big tailings pit
and extract the values of the cyanide
process. The plant now on the ground,
which has capacity of 200 tons daily,
will be partly utilized, as a different
method of treatment adopted by the
former company will be used. Mr..
Dawson estimates there is fully 10000
tons of tailings available for his plant,
and with the successful treatment OF
same the plant will be in operation a
number of years.
The tailings are from Tombstone ores
run through the Grand Central mill
during the early days of the camp
The tailings are said to contain values
from SO to $40 per ton.

SEVEN MILLIONS FROM
THE SEWARD PENINSULA
Alaskan Placer Is Being Extended and
Promises Much More Each
Year as Prospecting Is
Continued

Precious metals to the value of more
than 100000 annually are now being
taken from the placer mines of Seward
Peninsula, and all the known facts
bearing on their origin and distribu-
ton seem to indicate that a compar-
atively uniform but slowly increasing
output, extending over many years,
may reasonably be expected from
these gravels, which have already con-
tributed more than $40,000000 to the
worlds wealth, says government bull
letin.
Investigations of the gold bearing
gravels of Seward Peninsula were be-
gun by the biologists of the United
States geological survey in the fall of
1885, when A. H. Brooks and F. c..
Schra'der spent few weeks examining
the auriferous gravels in the vicinity
of Nome, while D. c. Witherspoon
made a topographic map of the same
area. Since then, except in 1902, work
has been extended systematically in
each succeeding season, and the re-
ports of the surveys give accounts of
practically every gold-producing creek
on the pensinsula. But the discovery
of new placers and the rapid progress
of mining are continually bringing to
light new facts concerning the gravels
and their precious contents, and a re-
port just issued by the survey bulletin
S28) Incorporates the results of supple
mentary work Qncluding a part of
those from 1906 studies) done since the
publication of the first special report
on the district, of which the present
may be said to be a revised edition.
The report has been prepared chiefly
to meet the wants of miners and pros
pectors and others who are devoting
their labor and capital to the develop
ment of Seward Peninsula. Neces-
sarily 1t contains a brief outline Of
the geology of the peninsula but In
general matter not directly pertinent
to the mineral wealth of the area has
been omitted. 1t is expected that
fuller geologic data will find place in
future publications, to be prepared
when detailed surveys, already begun
permit the presentation of more GER
tain conclusions.

more than SIG to the ton in gold.
The Mohawk already had vein of
free-milling gold ore and is equipped
with ample hosting machinery. stamps.
pumps, air drills and twenty-stamp
mill, which is expected to begin OPP

1t is within a stones throw of the old
Mammoth mine, which is fifty-four
miles north and twenty-five miles west
of Benson, down the San Pedro valley,
or about sixty-eight miles on an air
line, and will be about seventy-five
miles away by the proposed wagon
road down the valley to connect with
the new bridge. The Mammoth Is said
to have produced $10,000,000 Of gold be-
fore the owner died, and the newly dis
covered Mohawk vein appears to pass
into the Mammoth ground.
The old vein of the Mohawk has been
mined for years, supplying the COM
pany's stamp mill, and the recent strike
bids fair to make the Mohawk one OF
the important gold producers OF Arr
