THE ALVARADO MINE
 YUMA CO. BONANZA
A 1909 Infant That Seems to Have
 Prospects For a Long Life.

The Alvarado mine was located January F. 1909, by Joe and Fred Alvarado in the Castle Dome mining district, sixteen miles southwest of Kofa, says the Yuma Sun. Four teen claims were staked by the locat- ors, including the Two Brothers
 group of six and the Derby group of six claims. Two placer claims also were located below the ledge, upon
 which the future camp of Goldfield, Arizona, has been staked out Quart
 ter interests were disposed of to a third brother, Alex Alvarado, and lp Felix Mayhew, of North Star fame.
 Development work was at once begun by the owners of the Alvarado,
 sufficient to prove the great value of the property, though not enough to define it's limitations. A shaft was sunk on the cropping ledge seventy
 feet and a crosscut run twenty-five
 feet across the ledge of pure quartz, which lies between two sheer and
 straight contract walls of porphyry.
 This crosscut exposed the hanging wall but fell considerably short of attaining the footwall so the per manent width of the ledge is still to be revealed. on the surface it varies from fifty to seventy-five feet between the walls. Beyond each wall, paralleling the main ledge, above and below, there is a second and third dike of similar width, carrying values of S2 to s4 on the surface.
 While numerous assays have been made on the ledge of the Alvarado, at intervals of several feet apart, no absolute attempt to secure the aver age mill value of ehquartz can be made until the ledge is fully exposed. The assays made run from $11 to $109. Taking these as a guide the probable average milling values will be $35 to $40. The rock is hard, but free milling and carries considerable free gold, specimens of which can be secured anywhere on the ledge. The possibilities of value of the second ary dikes are still to be investigated and ascertained It is impossible to view the ledge of the Alvarado with out being immediately convinced that there is here one of the worlds great l gold mines in incipient development |
 Work on the Alvarado strike was recently suspended to await the com- pletion of the cutoff road to Kofa ! and North Star from Dome, which | runs through the Alvarado camp Its | will facilitate the hauling l of the supplies to the mines. In ad- 1 dition, the water supply of the i'm | mediate vicinity is limited to one well | of small production and this has been l chiefly absorbed by the men working | on the cutoff road. When their con- struction work is completed, which | will be within a few days, it Is l planned to resume work on the AL | vaf'ado. The shaft will be sunk deep | CT and crosscut run at a lower l level to fully expose the ledge.
