PLACER FIND |S CAUSING
 EXCITEMENT
Discovery in Castle Greek Has Caused a Mad Rush into that Well Known OiStriCt-| Some High Grade Ore

PHOENIX. April I6.-News of promising placer discovery on Castle creek has been brought to Phoenix by George Savers, owner of the Del aware mine at Savers, ten miles east of Wickenburg MT. Sayers and George B. Upton have six claims staked out upon the placer ground and two upon the ledge from which the gold in the sand evidently came.
 The discovery was made a little over a month ago by William Kaple. It is situated thirteen miles east of Sayers postofIice. or twenty-three miles west of Castle Hot Springs.
 When Kaple first began to prospect the sand in the bottom of Castle creek near this place he was unable to obtain more than a color His first days labor netted him 35 cents, but convinced him that there was placer gold in paying quantities deeper down. Since that time he has made about S5 per day and indications are constantly becoming more favorable.
 The first five ounces of gold which he washed out Kaple sold to George B. Upton of the Stanton Rich Hill placer mine. Mir. Savers this morn ing received the gold by express from Stanton and has been exhibit ing it to his friends and acquaint- ances. It has created a great deal of interest wherever shown.
 This gold does not have the ap- pearance of metal that has been washed miles down a creek or river bed It Is brownish in color and ranges in size from dust 10 pieces al most as large as a small marble.
 It was this new appearance of the gold that caused Mir Savers to come to the conclusion that the source was not far above. A man named Dick Ward was the first To cator after Kaple, and on behalf of himself and Mir Upton. Mir. Savers located six claims just below Ward. Then he began to look up the river for the ledge from which the gold came. He found that the placer ground extended as far up as a ledge wh ch ran down into the creek bed Here he located two more claims.
 He was not the first man to locate upon this ledge. A number of pros pectors have staked out claims upon it. but gave them up because they were unable to get free gold near the surface. Mir. Savers has not hau time to thoroughly prospect either his placer or ledge claims, but he be- Iieves he has something better than Kaple The ledge, he hopes. will prove more valuable than all the sand in Castle creek
 At the Delaware.
 Work at the Delaware. MT. Savers old property, is progressing quite sat isfactorily. The tunnel is in 150 feet and a winze down 60 feet Tho claims of Ed Rudd. adjoining the Del aware. also promise well Ore from the Hobo. one of Rudd's claims. shows higher gold values than any other rock found in that district. Mir. Savers Is enthusiastic concern Ing two groups of lecge claims neal the head of Castle creek. One is owned by a man named Foster and the other by prospector named Thompson. Both the owners are de veloping their property and have some good rock.
 The entire district east of Wicken- burg is displaying unwonted activity l according to Mr. Sayers.
