SAYS SALOME
 DISTRICT IS
 RICH IN GOLD
Carroll ]. Daly lnspeCtS the Gold Field and Believes It Is a Legitimate Mining Proposition

Carroll J. Daly president of the Daly Mines Company, who recently returned from a trip of lnsrC ction 10 the Vulture group with Ernest A. flag gott, consulting engineer for the com, pany, speaks very highly of that sec ton of Arizona known as the Parker or Colorado country, embracing the area between Wickenburs and Parker and between the Bill Williams and uartzsite to the south.
 He says that the mineral showings are extensive and that no one who has not made Q personal inspection can realize what the actual conditions are. The injection of new blood into the district has had a wonderful ef- feet within the past year and the re suits are shown by some splendid showings of copper and gold ore
 Mir. Daly visited the Clara Consol- idated properties north of Rouse, and was much impressed with the i'm mense amount of work accomplished in the eight months George Mitchell has had charge. Work on the smelter is being pushed as vigorously as pos sible: the pipe line is practically completed and the saw mill is run ming fuli blast The underground de velopments are of the sensational or der and there is now enough ore eN- posed to keep the new smelting plant running for several years.
 in the Plomosa range, south Of Bouse, the Little Butte, the Heart s Desire. Muderspach and old Maid, lying north of the Vulcan group are all showing up well. while the Lead camp. to the south, is also pronis- ing property.
 Mr. DaIy visited the gold strike northwest of Salome, where such phenomenal values have recently been uncovered, and was much im- pressed with what he saw. From the | general character of the surrounding | formation he is led to believe that more important strikes will result l hom the close prospecting which is HOW going on. The discOverers of | the bonanza, Al Alger, Herman Grif- | fin and Henry Barker. have found 1 rich gold float in the vicinity for sey- l eral years and now believe that they | have uncovered the main body in place. The new gold region has been | fittingly named Algribar, which is made up of the first letters of the | names of the three discoyerers, and is pronounced Al-gri-bar.
 The general geology comprises i highly crystalline, metamorphosed bornblende and sericite schists, al | tered to soft shales along the major | fault planes. In many places thin seams of quartz parallel the schist | lamina. and in such places make up one-third to one-half of the rock mass | These are observed to be most nun erous in the region of the lines of faulting. Some large lenticular mass | es of quartz, slightly charged with l iron oxide, crop boldly in the vicin' ity of intrusive eruptive dikes. One | such body of quartz lies just west O | the gold find on the Great Northern The main body is about 100 feet long five to twenty feet wide and splits uI at each end into numerous small seams. One vein of quartz on the face of a precipitous mountain soutf of the Great Northern cuts the schis' at right angles and graphically shows a faulting of some twenty feet 4 line of quartz shows along the plano of the fault and conects the ends ot the two sections of the vertical veiT of quartz. Up till now these quarti showings have not been prospecteC for gold contents.
 The main schist mass has a genera course of north degrees east and inclines 90 to 70 degrees from the horizontal, the average incline beins about IS degrees. The incline is tG the southeast.
 T The ore is an iron oxide, ranging from medium hard to a very soft con dition, as exposed on the surface One of these iron outcrops shows ; width of thirty feet Occasionally, il the fracture lines in the andesitf' porphyry, as well as in the schist. th' iron is in seams of one half to two inches thick. All of this iron is saiC to show gold contents, but these crop pings have only been lightly sampled In several places these iron crop pings show copper in oxide form ant decided porosity. due to teaching ! These facts. coupled with the infor nation that these schists terminate at the deep-bedded limestone copper | bearing area of the Yuma Coppe company's property on the north ant the monzonite porphyry copper-bear ing area of the Finegan u,ine on thu southeast. will have some signifi canoe to students of copper.
 According to MT. Da'y the oppor tunities for Los Angeles in this dis trict are unsurpassed. The building of the California & Arizona Railwa, ] from Wickenburg west to Parker. a which point a million-dollar bridge has been completed across the Col oradc, makes the entire section eas. of access by either the Southern Pa ] cific or the Santa Fe and the comple ton of the cutoff from Parker to Ben gal will bring it within eight or ter hours of Los Angeles. It was reportes at the time Mir. Daly was in the coun , try that the Finnegan property nortl of Salome had been taken over on ; $500. 900 bond and that the old Lin: Griffin claims had been acquired financed by Michigan men.
 The Daly Mines company of whicl Mir. Daly is president. has been or ganized under the laws of Arizona with a capital stock of 100000 share . of a par value of sI. The concern hai
