Opening UP in Arizona.

Salome, Ariz. May 6.-Salt Lake
people as we'll as many others from
Utah arc finding their way to the rlch
country that Is being opened up
around Salome, Vicksburg and Win
chester. For some time the people OF
Utah have been turning their atten-
ton this way and scarcely day goes
by but what some mining man from
the Beehive state strays along. Most
of them have been In Goldfeld but are
now turning their footsteps this way
E. l.. Hews, In letter from this
district to the Arizona Republican, has
considerable to say about the Salt
Lake people who have taken hand In
opening up this promising country.
In part the letter from Mr.. Hews says:
Before / take YOU on~my way TO the
Glory Hole, l want to tell you some
thing before | forget 1t. ANY man IN
Arizona who will take the pains to eX~
anime thoroughly will find that Dig
stamp mill and cyaniding plant erected
at Salome or Vicksburg Will pay enor-
nous dividends in few years, as pro-
duction will soon create more produc-
ton. and the mill would have to keep
increasing It's capacity. Do you be-
lieve this? If not just get In my band
wagon and come along until we hit the
trail for the Anaconda group. This
property is composed of two claims.

with some free gold, values principally
In gold
A quiet, sincere and honorable gen
tleman is my classification OF a man
who should be the Stratton of Ari"
zona That man is Albert Alger, born
| In the city of New York, but who came
west thirty years ago For the past ID
years he has been prospecting in this,
the great Ellsworth district. The east
ern gentleman may not realize what
| Is years on the hurricane deck of
| burro means, but the man who has
| toIled over blistering sands and radiat-
ing rocks. with his tongue sticking out
and his grub pile gone. can and does
appreciate Mr.. Alger's hardships of
the past He is also regarded as lie
| Jim Butler of Winchester. He is we'll
liked In all this country. This Is the
man who found what our friend FitZ-
Mac, called the Glory Hole ] might re-
peat Mr. Alger's own words that he
spoke to me while we sat on the leay-
ings at the Glory Hole of what had
once been the richest little pit of gold
ore ever mined in the world. Says
| he:
Found Rich Ore.
81 knew Of an old Mexican who for
many years had run dry washer
below where | found the ore on the
| Arizona Northern. | had found pieces
of rich float myself. but never could
locate where 1t came from At last on
a cloudy, drlZzly day, happened to be
up high in the gulch and sat down on
! that big rock (pointing to a rock not
far away to rest awhile, when l saw
at my feet what looked like piece OF
yellow limonite spar | had often seen
before. but which seemed now to be
literally loaded with gold. Could | be
dreaming? No. 1t was gold all right
The dampness had enabled me to see
1t quicker This led to the locating of
! the Arizona Northern
There's lots of gulches around this
section that will pan gold. Look out
for another big placer excitement be-
fore long. Another big strike was
made n few days ago by a Mr.. Black,
a partner Of Mr. Parker. who is
partner Of Mr.. Alger, less than five
miles from Salome. Assays over $500
In god No development yet Mr.. Law
made big strike also today less than
four miles from Salome.-Deseret
