CLAIMING Much ATTENTION.

Carol J. DAILY president of the
DAILY Mines company, WHO recently
returned from a trip of inspection To
the Nnlture group with Ernest 4.
Haggott, consulting engineer for the
company. speaks very highly of that
section of Arizona known As The Park
er or colordo country, embracing
the area between the Bill Williams
and Quartsite 10 the south. says the
Bisbee Review.
He SAYS that the mineral showings
are extensive and that no one who
has not made personal inspection
can realize what The actual con
ditions are The injection of new
blood into the district has had wond-
erfnl effect within the past year and
the results are shown by some SPLEEN
did showings of copper and gold ore.
Mr.. DAILY visited the Clara CONSOLE
dated properties north of Bouse, and
was much impressed with the I'M
mense amount OF work accomplished
in the eight months George Mitchell
had charge Work on the smelter
is being pushed as vigorously as pos
sible. the pipe line Is practically
completed and the saw mill Is run
ming full blast The underground de-
yelopmenfs are of the sensational or
der and there is now enough ore ex-
posed TO keep The new smelling plant
running for several years.
In the Polomosa range. south ot
Bouse. the Little Butte, the Heart
Desire. Muderpateh and Old Maid,
living north of the Vulcan group are
all showing mp we'll. while the Lead
camp. TO the south. is also promls-
ing property.
Mr.. DAILY visited the gold strike
northwest of Salome. where sueh
phenomenal values have recently
been uncovered. and was much I'M
pressed with what he saw. From the
general character of the surrounding
formation he is lead To believe that
more important strikes will result
from the close prospecting which Is
now going on. The discoveries OF
the bonanza. Al Alger. Herman Grlf-
fin and Henry Barker. have found
rich gold float in the vicinity for sew
eral years and now believe that they
have uncovered the main body IN
place. The new gold region has been
fiffingly named Algribar. which Is
made up of the first letters OF the
names of the three discoveries. and
is pronounced Al-gri-bar.
The general geology comprises
highly crystalline, metamorphosed
hornblende and serieite sehists, al
tered to soft shale along the major
fault plains. In many places thlh
seams of quartz parallel the schist
lamina. and In such places make up
one-third To one-half of the rock
mass. These are observed 10 be most
numerous in the region Of the lines
of faulting. Some large lenticniar
masses of quartz. slightly charged
with iron oxide, crop boldly in the
vicinity of intrusive eruptive dikes.
One such body of quartz lies just west
of the gold find on the Great North
ern. The main body is about 90
feet long, five TO twenty feet wide aud
splits np at each end into numerous
small seams. One vein of quartz on
the face of preeipitious mountain
south of the Great Northern cuts the
schist at right angles and graphlcaliy
shows a fault and connects the ends Oh
the two sections of the vertical vein
of quartz. Up till now these quartz
showings have not been prospected
for gold contents.
The main sehist mass has gen
eral course of nortn 4 degrees east
and inelines 80 10 20 degrees from
the horizontal. the average incline
being about As degrees. The incline
is to the southwest.
The ore is an iron oxide. ranging
from medium hard 10 very SOFT con-
dition. as exposed on the surface.
One of these iron outcrops shows
width of thirty feet. Occasionally. III
the fracture lines in the andestie
norphyry. as well as in the schst. the
iron is In seams of one half To two
inches thick. All of this iron Is said
10 show gold contents, but these crop
pings have only been lightly sampled
In several places these iron crop
pings show copper in oxide form and
decided porosity, due To teaching
These facts. coupled with the infor-
nation that these sehists terminate
at the deep bedded limestone copper
hearing area of the Yuma Copper
eompanv.s property on the north and
the monzonite porphyry copper hear
ing area of the Finegan mine on the
southeast. will have some signifi-
canoe to students of copper.
According to Mr.. DAILY the oppor-
tunities for Los Angeles in this dis
triet are unsurpassed. The building
of the California & Arizona railway
from Wilkenhurg west to Parker, nj
which point a million dollar bridge
he's been completed across the Col
orado makes the entire section easy
of access by either the Southern Pa
elfie or the Santa Fe and the compile
ton of the cut off from Parker 10
Bengal will bring it within eight or
ten hours of Los Angeles. IT was re-
norted at the time Mr.. DAILY was in
