| porphyry. The new rich ore is found | in the contact between the quartz and
 schist, and the pockets are found i'm bedded in the lime schist. The entire
 quartz ledge is rich in gold. but the very rich ore which has been taken out
 is on the quartz contact. However the entire country is richly mineralized and
 there are numerous lodges of bull quartz out-cropping. Crossing the quartz dike, are numerous dikes of diorite phonolite and rhyolite, all of which are fine indications of rich ore. Rich Ore Taken Out.
 There have been about five hundred pounds of rich ore taken out which contained over s5.000 worth of coarse gold. So coarse is the gold that some of the nuggets are as large as a pea, and running down to fine shot gold with much wire gold scattered through. The ore taken out and sold resembled 1ewelry more than ore. This rich ore is being exhibited in various towns and cities of western Arizona and has set the country on fire. as it were. and peo- pie are rushing in from all directions, and it reminds one very much of the old days of Cripple Creek and Gold fields. The gold is there to show for itself and is certainly enough to make any one anxious to want to get in and dig some of it out. There is nothing which will arouse the people more quickly than rich gold strike, and especially one where there is a good assurance of every one getting good claims. For this reason this new strike is likely to prove very attract i've.
 The Locators.
 The discoverers of the new strike are Henry Barker. Hiram Griffin and Al Alger, and they have three claims in the group and have named the group the Arizona Northern mine. The rich 1 ore was found while they were doing l their location work, and the pocket was | found about four feet from the surface | in an open cut in the side of the high l hill. While most of the rich gold mines l of the Colorado country carry copper. | yet this mountain where the new strike | is found carries not trace of copper | nor any other metal excepting gold. | The Granite Wash mountains have | copper in them, but the copper is on ! the outer edge of the range, and all | of the lodges in the center of the range carry rich gold values. The country | rock is schist and some of the richest gold mines discovered in the country have been found on a schist contact.
 Fine Climate.
 One thing which adds greatly to the new strike and, of especial comfort to the prospectors going in. is that the weather at this season of the year is most delightful. For this reason many of the people going in are going in ' more for sightseeing than anything else There is always a certain amount of enthusiasm about a rush to a new gold camp, and within a very few days Bouse and Vicksburg. and the country wing between, is likely to have one 1f the greatest booms ever experienced n any country.
 Many Reports Out.
 As in all new camps. there are many -eports out regarding the new strike being sold out at fabulous figures to prominent mining men. and that the ,re is simply little pocket, and likely o pinch out: but the fact of the mat CT is. the property has not been sold ,r bonded. although the owners state hey are willing to bond the property )r sell it outright To date, no very pig mining men have been in 10 the amp, and none of them have taken an option or bond on the property. There s absolutely no doubt but that the -ich ore will continue because the for nation is the very kind for rich values. md then. again, rich ore has been aken out at several places along the edge. and also the washes have. been lnown as rich Dlacering for several ears. The country has been prospect d and reprospected. but heretofore no me has ever discovered the rich val les that have now been found within he past few days.
