| is rich in gold, but the very rich ore
 which has been taken out is on the quartz contact. However, the entire
 country is richly mineralized and there are numerous ledges of bull quartz l loutcroppings. Crossing the quartz
 q ke, are numerius dikes or diorite. phonolite and rhyolite. all of which
 are fine indications of rich ore.
 Rich Ore Taken Out.
 There have been about five hundred pounds of ricA ore taken out which contained over S5,0OO worth of coarse gold. So coarse is the gold that some of the nuggets are as large as a pea, and running down to fine shot gold. with much wire gold scattered through. The ore taken out and sold resembles jeyelry more than ore
 This rich ore is being exhibited in various towns and cites of western
 Arizona and has set the country on
 fire, as it were, and people are rush ing in from all directions, and 1t re minds one very much of the old
 days of Cripple Creek and Goldfields.
 The gold is there to show for itself and is certainly enough to make any
 one anxious to want to get in and dig some Cf it out. There is nothing which will arouse the people more
 quickly than @ rich gold strike, and especially one where there is a good assurance of every one getting good claims. For this reason this new
 strike is likely to prove very attract i've.
 The Looators.
 The discCyerers of the new strike are Henry Barker, Hiram Griffin and
 Al Alger. and they have three claims n the group and have named the group the Arizona Northern ID ne. The rich ore was found while they were doing their location work. and the pocket was found about four feet from ! the surface in an open cut in the side Of the high hill While most of the rich gold mines of the Colorado coun-
 try carry copper, yet this mountain
 where ire new strike is found carries l not a trace of copper nor any other metal excepting gold. The Granite Wash mountains have copper in them,
 but the copper is on the outer edge of the range, and all of the lodges in
 the center of the range carry rich gold values. The country rock is schist iaGd some of the richest gold mines discovered in the country have been found on a schist contact.
 Fine Climate.
 One thing which adds greatly to the new strike, and, of especial comfort to
 the prospectors going in. is that the weather at this season of the year is
 most delightful. For this reason
 many of the people going in are going
 in more for sightseeing than anything 'else. There is always a certain lamount of enthusiasm about a rush ! tO new gold camp, and within a very flew days Blouse and Vicksburg. and the country lying between. is likely to have one of the greatest boons
 ever experienced in any country. Many Reports Out.
 As h all new camps. there are many tFepeTts out regarding the new strike being sold out at fabulous figures to
 prominent mining men, and that the ' ore IS simply little pocket, and likely to pinch out; but the fact of the mat ter is. the property has not been sold
 G bonded, although the owners state
 they are willing to bond the property oT sell outright To date, Go very | big mining men have been into the
 camp. and none of them have taken an option or bond on the property. tTnere is absolutely no doubt but that the rich ore will continue because tae formation is the very kind fer
 richt values. and then, again. rsca ore has been taken out at several places along the ledge, and also the washes have been f<nown as rich pIacering for several years. The country has
 been prospected and reprospected but heretofore no one has ever discovered the rich values that have now been found within the past few days.
