 Tie QCaTtzite country. twenty-five miles south Of Bouse. is especially rich in gold. The Dome Rock raage, west Of the camp, was the earliest scene Of gold mining in Arizona and produced by dry washing seven mil lions and half. Lode mining was airsost impossible in those days, og- ing to the iraccessibliity cf the eour- try and the cost of getting h ma chinery. Tho deposits arc very ex- tensiEe. but generally tho grade is
 tow. Nothing Is TentuIed in the pre- dictic1 that that country Is going to
 proaUpe noEnber of good gold bo-
 nslnzas In tho near future. It needs
 development and milling facilities. 1t has great abuatmce of water in the Tyson valley, which lies close to the surface ant Is raised by wihdmills to irrigate the gardens ana furnish
 the mines with water.
 The GIory Hole
 It is the astounding values in the noE bonanza strike that has attract cd tho attention Of the world. Richer
 rock has never come out Of Goldfeld. or Cripple Creek. You have to speak
 of it in percentages as you do Of cop
 per. it is so heayy--twenty, thirty and fifty per cent gold. Specimens of this
 can bs Seen in the windows next door to the postoffice in Phoenix. ] saw rock coming out Of the Glory
 hole last Friday. just as good as that in tbc exhibit in the window, and I know that the derosit extends for a distance of hfty-five feet I've seen just as good gold from the extreme end of 1t as they have taken out oi 1 the Glory Hole. I}Ut those poor fal- lows that discovered it don't want to open it while the crowds are around, SO much of the gold is carried of | by people vhO want specimens Co ! aGhibit. Many wouldn't steal any | thing else iu the world, but would l steal a SC specimen without com. uunctiOu- Those fellows have ac,
 tually had to dig hole in their camp
 to put the Iunps of gold into and cover the holC up with a mattress tC retain any of their ore. They are
 simple hearted fellows and thcil
 friends who are ashamed to steal i,
 coax # away from them
 Geology of the Bonanza.
 The regioD Immediately surround ing this strike lies in the geological
 horizon of the Algonquin schists
 which here in Arizona VIC call tho ! Final s5hists and the T2vapai
 echists. They oyer-lle the primary ' granite, and have a thickness whert
 developed by mines in Colorado o
 from 1000 to TOGO feet, but in tht Grand Canyon of the Colorado thoy
 show a thickness of over 12,60O feet
 according to the United States geo ! logical survey The erupt.ve rocks iu the vicinity of this strike rangC from the very early basic dia-bases tC t3enihasic gray andesites. I think they have probably not been the fn Gnential factor in the mineTalizat.0n Great lenses of quartz have been de Feloped iE the schist. not from tho } depths. but by a process Of segreEa
 tiOn when the schists themselves were in q semi-plastic condition at ths time Of ths up-lle, and the gold az pears tO Ue tO have a senefic con ' nectiou with these quartz lenses . somewhat as the gold in the SiIye. Peak district Of Nevada has. Ths segregation process has been studiet out there by the United States reolor , icaI survey and throws much light up 3 on gold deposits by the process O !. segregation.
 V These lenses in this ground appea numerously at the surface. but that i { only becsuse the quartz has beel - harder thar the surrounding schist 2 which bave been eroded. The lense 0 VIII probably be found just the sam l to . great depth. These that are no' ( ezpoged on the surface were not oril y finally deposited on the surface, bu 2 hare been exFoGed by erosion To c can ge to within Q half 9 mile of th l., bonanza ground by q wagon and yo }. can ride all Ov1r Bonanza hill an ( Gold Bug hiii or horseback by pici , ing your way.
