 ite among mining men and especially
 so when they know the great. rich.
 ledge which was struck on the Arizona
 Northern, the richest gold strike ever
 made anywhere. While this property
 has been temporarily hung up, and
 there is no ore now in sight, as soon
 as work is again started and the rich
 vein opened up people in these parts
 believe it will be as rich as ever h.
 stead of working on the vein of this
 property the syndicate which had the
 first bond on the property did most of
 their work off the vein several feet.
 Had they followed their ore, it is be-
 lieved the great chunks of gold would
 still be coming forth. The two little
 tunnels and the small shaft which was
 sunk eight feet were all done fin the
 foot wall and away from the ore vein.
 It has been reported in some quarters that the arizona Northern has again been bonded, but this is not true. The original owners, Griffin, AL gier and Barker still have the prop erty. They have been busy during the past week getting their location | on record work done. The bonders of the claims failed to do the location work and the original owners were | compelled to do the work to hold the | claims. During the past week they | have had offers from many parties | wanting to bond and lease or simply | lease the property, but to date they | have made no cnotracts with anyone | Reports have also been circulated that l others have put in a claim that the | Glory Hole was located by a man | named Charles Fisk some two weeks | before it was located by Griffin, AL | ger and Barker, but this is only a | canard. It has also been reported that | Barker and Fisk had a fight at Sa- | lome a few days ago over the fact | that Fisk claimed that Barker had 1 jumped his claim and the proper way | to settle it was to fight it out They | did have the fight alright, but it | was over group of claims located | over two miles from the Glory Hole. | The Arizona Northern is not encum- | bered. It is true that others within | the past two or three weeks have | placed location stakes all over the | Arizona Northern claims, presumably | intending to try to make a claim | against the property but these people | cannot make their claims stick. These | things must always be expected. There | never was a valuable mine any where | but that some individuals did not l make an attempt to get root hold Of | some kind.
 Mitchell Strike Winner
 The main excitement of the camp | is now centering around the Mitchell | strike, or the Anaconda mine, which | Is located only three quarters of a mile from the town of Winchester. l This property is proving up better | every day, and while nothing much | has ever been said about it. yet the | development work is showing up very rich ore in large bodies. and the prop erty bids fair to be the bonanza of | the district. J. D. Mitchell, the super intendent of the mine, is doing large amount of prospecting, and has now developed three distinct lodges of basalt, which run clear across the property. Basalt is one of the very best indications for . pig rich mine. These dikes cut across the property about one hundred feet apart, and development already cone indicates that most of the rock between the basalt dikes is gold bearing quartz and besides this the Dasalt itself car ries good values in gold, silver and lead. The quartz is either an iron stained or else a hematite quartz carrying good values in gold, silver. copper and lead. All the quartz car ries from three to ten per cent lead and about two per cent copper The formation on this property is perfect ly regular and the dikes distinct The strike of the Ore nppurc Ior- ing hills, which is another indication of a good property. Pannings have been taken all over the property and it is almost impossible to pan any of the ore without getting long strings of gold Assays which have been made show values from fifteen to sev- eral hundred dollars per ton. Of course the entire ledge will not con- tain the very rich ore all the way but without doubt this prop erty will be an immense low grade 
 The Anaconda property has been stocked for $500 900 and although the stock has not yet been issued, never theless twenty thousand shares have been subscribed for and sev- eral large blocks spoken for. The par due Ol lHe SHdTeS IS one OOllar and the stock is being subscribed for at twenty-five cents per share. The of E ficers of the company are J. T. Hem perly of Kansas, president; W. H. Slaughter of Glendale, Arizona, sec retary and treasurer, and J. D. Mitch ell. vice president and superintendent Contracts have been let for two one hundred foot shafts and besides sev- eral men will be employed doing sur face prospecting, trenching, etc. The camp is booming The com pany has built large boarding house and bunk house and there are about twenty tent houses already up and occupied. The camp has a splendid well of water right near the boarding house. The camp is a cOzy place and Superintendent Mitchell is very par ticular to have everything ship-shape and is a booster of the first water. If a man comes into the Anaconda camp and does not become a booster after the cordial treatment he re- ceives from Mitchell and the other boys of camp he is at once blacklisted as a poor excuse. One of Mitchell's ideas for showing H., the camp is to
