looked mighty good to him as a pros- pect. MT. Raymond, though prefacing
 his remarks with the statement that he
 was very conservative and refused to
 get excited, proceeded to say that he
 saw the rich ore coming out in chunks,
 literally scanned with gold. The chunk | of rock that he saw dislodged and re-
 moved, he estimated would weigh 200
 pounds. and through it there was a
 seam as thick as a mans hand filled
 with the same kind of specimen ore
 on display here in Phoenix. The seam | seemed to be literally lined with gold. Two other witnesses who returned yes- terday afternoon were placed on the stand by reporter for The Republi-
 can. They are George M. Hahn and c.
 B. King, of this city, gentlemen of such | standing that their Credibility cannot be impeached, even though they are
 members of the syndicate which owns the property Before their testimony
 is given. it will be Illuminating to again
 refer to the plan that is being followed
 in the immediate development of the
 property. all of which is, of course,
 only prospect work, designed to reveal

 beneath the loose detritus of the sur
 face; expose formations in place and.
 incidentally, to get as much of the
 wonderfully rich ore as possible into
 place of safe-keeping, for it goes with
 out saying that it is bound to play out
 some time. once the frosting is eaten
 off the cake and the rich layers be-
 low are carefully located, the real min
 ing may begin for the jelly that will
 certainly be found between them.
 Those in charge went down the hill
 perhaps. twenty feet below the Glory
 Hole and began what is designed to be a tunnel, to run into the hill almost
 flat. just slightly on an incline. with the big dike further up the hill as its objective The tunnel will be carried as an open cut until it reaches the Glory Hole in fact, has now almost reached it. From that point the trench, which is about eight feet wide, will be under cover, and as the hill is quite before the dike is reached, forty or fifty feet still distant, consid- erable perpendicular depth will have been attained. That Is. unless the rich values should contipue so much in evil dence that it is deemed advisable to make it an open cut, or quarry, all the way in order to save the values all ready in sight. That seems most too good to anticipate. though thus far the ground has all been too rich to bur row into and leave the gold hanging in the roof The breast of this trench or tunnel to be is now ten feet high, | according to the eye measurement of ! George M. Hahn, and fully eight feet, i according to C. B. King who says he | wants to be conservative beyond any | hubble.
 This trench tight feet wide may be | more accurately described by compar- ng it to a right angle triangle of which the floor of the trench is the base. the surface line of the hill is the | lypothenuse and the breast of the .rench Is the perpendicular, with the Glory Hole just above its apex, about O be undermined.
 Messrs. Hahn and King were inter -iewed separately. but their stories are 70 nearly alike there is no object in printing them separately. Both men gree that the breast of the trench is .rossed from right to left at an angle if. approximately, 45 degrees by three tringers of ore. varying in thickness rom one inch to three inches. On the ight-hand side of the trench these tringers. if they continue. must crop
 m the surface at no very great dis ance. and Joe Fuller. who is Tn charge f the work, says he will try at ms arliest convenience to discover the ' On the left-hand side of the rench the ore stringers sink into the iIk as stated, at an angle of about 45 f egrees. All three of the parallel string Ir rs are separated by the country rock, { r what the miners call schlst. All f hree of them carry the same rich aIues shown in all the samples exhib- ( ed. the middle one having also few alena crystals in evidence. a
 Mir King, who is a mining man or ( ,ng experience in the north, carefully lT his silk handkerchief and con- | dentiallv showed to the reporter what 1 a considered the best specimen of ore r ,und vet. Why and how it is better nan the rest depends only on the for : ,ation. not on the gold in evidence, r IT. it was there, all right, but could a Ot be TlCIltT Allttll ioAo 'A AN ' zen. MT Hahn, also as a special Ia { pr to the reporter, secretly took from is gripsack a piece of ore as big as h nes two hands and over an inch thick, l. moving that it came from the full n idth of the seam; or, in other words O .nresented a section of the seam con d .nts about 4xS inches in size ana over D , inch thick. The gold is visible along ,e edges. in one place a nugget ap- caring on a corner. and where the | ,ecimen had been accidentally broken U
 two. there was another nugget re- ,aled. Each gentleman prizes ms q nd as the best ever. and still more so ,cause he took it out of the ground U mself. not in the Glory Hole, but Tn U ,e of the seams in the trench. MT Hahn said that he is not a min 10 man and has no idea how long this d oh ore will hold out, or, to put II an Ia her way. how soon it will play out; If he says that all the old miners tell mn that it will certainly make mig Y inc when the main ledge or origin of ls n ese stringers is encountered.
