Of the country to which he has fore

DoRAN's TIP LEADS TO
DISCOVERY OF FANCY ORE


hE rum lllui StActe > ASeAAAhI
News reached here yesterday Of
very rica gold strike on the Ehrenburg
read, six miles west of Quartzite, in
letter received by A. J. Doran from
Charles Genung. The new find is To-
Gated near the Marquette mine, long
known as one of the richest gold mines
in the desert region south of the Ari-
iona and California railroad.
The discovery is remarkable from
the fact that it is on the main wagon
road leading to Ehrenburg that has
been travelled over forty years.
Mr. Doran was regretting his i'll
luck wnen he read the letter bearing
the information of the new find. The
letter called his attention to the new
fact that the rich ore was found at a
depth of only n few feet at the exact
place where Mr.. Doran picked up a
rich piece of float while riding to the
Marquette mine with a party three
months ago. Doran says that he found
the quartz float and showed it to his
companions, stating that he believed
it was very rich.
The party did not stop to prospect
for the vein. Later James Prior, who
learned of Doran's opinion of the
rock, returned to the place and after
prospecting found rock similar to that
found by Doran. He sank few feet
and uncovered what Charles Genung
is pleased to term in his letter, @ two
feet of ore lousy with gold.'
Genung, wno was the first white
man TO make quartz mine location IN
Arizona north of the ella River, write,
that the discovery IS among the most
important made in that region in sew
! eral months. 1t is located within
short distance of the Marquette mln'
and in a similar formation. He be
licves Prior's fortune is made.

county, being a black tellurium and
rather soft. Miners who have seen it
say that it is very much like the tellu-
rum ore of the Cripple Creek district.
Among those who went out from
mere Saturday night and Sunday and
located claims adjoining the claims of
Black are W. Z. Marvin, James Pol
hamus. A. L. Rose. Charles lifting,
Frank Wheeler, A. l.. Verdugo, +. j..
Russell, Ramon Villa, J. L. Redondo
and George Fairchild When they
reached Dome they found that others
had heard the good news of the strike
and were on the ground. Twenty-six
goIdhunters took breakfast at tne
store at Dome and then went out sun
day morning and located a claim as
near to the mother lode as possible.
Marvin, Polhamus, and ORse located
claim jointly, put up their mOnu-
ments and named it the Air Dome
They took samples which Mr.. Marvin
/ has sent to Denver to have assayed
Nothing further can be known about
the find until the assays come in from
Denver. Mr.. Marvin says it is either
very big find or nothing.
What makes the ground look ever
better is the fact that on the Gil'
River from the point where the find l.
located, south and west has always
been placer ground, but no placer gol'
has been found beyond. The find i
about I6 miles from Yuma on an al
line and twenty miles by train.

BISBEE. Marcn 16.-This morning
the directors of the DEM held meet
ing that was of great importance toI
the people OF this community. 1t was
decided to begin work at once at the
mine and sink a shaft at least 100 feet
from the 12O foot level. Three shifts
of men will be put on at once.
When the shaft is down to the 1900
foot level a drift will be run to the
Dividend fault. President Pattison
stated this morning that the proposed
further development of the DEM
should open up the ore.
As to the much-talked-of smelter'
President Pattison said that its con
struction would be started just as soon
as conditions warranted it. There will
he something of interest to give out
in relation to the smelter within
few days, he said.
As TO Snattuck, the company Will
continue the development work for
some time on the same basis that 1t IS
now bein carried on. Whenever ore Is
encountered in the drifts it will be
taken out and sold, although no stop
ing will be done until a later date.

COURTS ASKED
TOfND TROUBLE
BELMONT HEIGHTS AND LONG
BEACH AT WAR
CONSOLIDATION ELECTION is DE-
MANDED BY LATTER
Writ of Mandate Asked for to Compel
Calling of Special EIec-
tion for Octo-
Der 5

The long continued efforts by certain
citizens of Lon Beach and Belmont
Heights to consolidate were carried to
the superior court yesterday in the
form of an application for a writ of
mandate to compel the board of trus-
tees of the latter place to issue notices
for a special election to be held October
8, in accordance with a resolution
adopted by the city council of Long
Beach, August 10.
The petition for the writ was filed by
Stephen G. Long and Percy Hight, at
torneys for Albert league, a tax payer
of Belmont Heights. 1t recites that
petitions for consolidation were circu-
lated in Long Beach and Belmont
Heights in July, and, as required by
law, before they could be submitted by
approval to the governing bodies of the
respective places, were signed by one
fifth of the voters who voted at the
last general election.
On August 9. these bodies called a
special election for September 7, to
decide the question of consolidation.
The following day the council of Long
Beach changed the date of election to
October 5. No similar action has been
taken by the trustees of Belmont
Heights, and it is to compel them to do
so that Mr. league has brought the
matter into court.
The suit marks another chapter in
the dissension between the two places
that has existed for a number of years.
going back to the time when the terri
tory now known as Belmont Heights
numbered only a few scattered houses.
Several weeks ago, Long Beach sought
to annex this territory, but was pre-
vented by court proceedings. Then
Long Beach succeeded in getting pos
session of a strip of land, a few feet
in width, along the beach to the east
ward, thus shutting off the territory
which it had sought to annex from ac-
cess to the water in front of it's doors
The little community quickly retail
ated, Incorporating as a city, and talk
ing into it's territory land along the
northern boundary of Long Beach, shut
ting off that city from numerous bene-
fits, and especially from participation
in the new system of good roads. This
matter was carried to the courts, but
never came to trial, an amicable ar
rangement being reached and the case
dismissed. Hearing on leagues APP
plication for a mandatory order will
be had on the first law and motion day
in the superior court.
