Arizona republican., 1909-03-27

II Captain w. C. Rose. late of Goldfield, New; more recently from the Arizona Northern bonanza strike, and yester-
 day from Parker, AriZ.. bringing added
 details of conditions on Bonanza Hill,
 is an experienced mining man and is the most enthusiastic person The Re publican has yet interviewed concern
 ing the strike. He says Goldfield was
 a great camp. but she has had her big day, though there are big mines there
 yet. but that Goldfield never had any
 thing to compare with the Arizona
 Northern strike. He says that as soon
 as people appreciate what it is, there
 is certain to be a rush of people to
 those parts in numbers that will equal
 the Nevada excitement, perhaps sur pass them.
 But before reciting what the captain | has to say about the Bonanza Hill. an ! explanation and correction should be
 made. The Republican has intention
 ally misstated no fact and does not in | tend to, but it has published a repor. | from other parties to the effect that | Captain Rose had bonded or bought the group of claims adjoining the Ari- | Northern on the east, in the interest i of Senator Newlands of Nevada. The | captain refutes the feature of the story relating to Senator Newlands, but says | he has bought the property for him. self. the consideration being s90,000. | and he believes it the finest investment [ he ever made in his life. The sellers are Joe Fuller and associates, there ! being six of them interested.
 Continuing. Captain Rose said he was among the first on the Arizona ! Northern property after the strike. He spent three days there. leaving the day | Homer King, FitZ-Mac and others ar rived. That three were spent. not in 1 looking at the Glory Hole, but in pros pecting the adjacent vicinity. One day
 was spent in horning samples taken
 within one hundred to three hundred feet on either side of the Glory Hole, along the formation that might be sup posed to carry values. Then he went up the hill about three hundred feet, and did the same thing. Then he went along the dike to the eastward about two thousand feet to a point where there seemed ts be two dikes, large and a smaller one. Further up the hill there were four parallel ledges. one, he says, is two and half feet wide and crops for only fifteen feet. The other three are from two to four feet wide and crop for about hun dred feet These were sampled also.
 The captain said that, with all that
 thorough and continuous horning. he
 was never skunked once-never failed
 to get colorS. and the only time the
 colors were So lean he could not esti-
 mate them at s25 per ton was sample
 taken from the little dike referred to.
 That was very small. but all the other mornings would run from s to $40 per ton. He also picked up considerable float of a rich character. It was then he got as busy as possible as quickly as possible and secured the adjoining property on the east.
 The captain told a great deal more of the activities in that vicinity which there is not space to recite at this time The most notable thing. though. is the laying out of a new town to be called Winchester at the Desert mine. about two and a half miles from the Arizona Northern. There is a fine water sup ply there. and the mine camp affords entertainment to many of the gold seekers. but more is needed. and the opportunity has been taken advantage of. as it is the nearest place for a good town site, with water already devel- oped.
 The captain said he was informed that an engineer had arrived there yes terday for the purpose of surveying and plating the town site. and that pending his arrival. something like for ty lots had been spoken for at s25 per lot before the stakes were even driven.
