Salome- -vicksburs c. M. Go. to Ex- ploit TeIIurium Find in Bonanza Belt.

The Salome- Vicksburg Gold Mining company was organized in this city
 yesterday with a capital stock of
 $l, 800, 900, par value of stock $l. The officers of the company are David
 Shear of Warren, Pa, president; Dr. A. G. Rounseville of Williams, vice
 president; G. T. Cline. secretary-treas-
 urer. These three and Dr. F, c. Wiser. George Mardis, Joe NJ. Shear and a commercial traveller named A. T. To- treasury will be supplied with 500, 900 shares, of which the first 100,000 will be offered at 10 cents.
 The property to be exploited is situated two miles west and a little south of the bonanza strike on the Arizona Northern group. From pres en indications it has the possibility of becoming another bonanza, rich in gold carrying tellurium ore. This is the story of it.
 Among the first at the Arizona Northern strike were the gentlemen named, with the exception of Doctor Wiser, and none of the experienced mining men except Mir. Mardis, who has lived much in a mining country. They scattered into the hills and ran across a ledge of white quartz five or six feet wide and well defined. It was apparently mineraliZed and the men were so greatly impressed with it that they located four claims. They took a number of samples and left for Phoenix, leaving Mir. Mardis there to prospect further and if he thought advisable to stake additional claims. It is understood he has en- larged the group to about a dozen claims but it will not be known defi- nitely until he returns.
 The other gentlemen came on to Phoenix, not greatly excited with their own holdings, though much en- unused about the Arizona Northern. One of them who knew Dr. Wiser quite intimately told the latter about the locations and said he rather doubted if they had anything; that he had brought home some samples showing iron, and they might carry gold. but he was of weak faith. He said they had been offered s6.O00 for their locations and he did not know whether to accept or not. Knowing the doctor had spent sixteen years in Colorado and was somewhat posted on mines he asked his advice. The doctor told him that if he didn't have anything the proper thing to do would be to sell if he had a chance, but that he would like to see the ore first
 His friend then brought down piece of the ore from his house What the man believed was iron on rbe side of tbe speciruen was fraa gold and looked as good as some of the small bonanza specimens. But that did not interest the doctor so much as the end of the rock, which was covered with little black specks. and which he pronounced at once as .ellurium. He then roasted the end lf the sample and got q good showing lf tellurium. Then he broke off small piece of the rock, being careful Q take none of it that contained the l yellow gold in sight, and his friend l ook it to Assayer Porterie. The re- urn given the next day was S37 per | on and the assayer agreed also that | he ore was tellurium. That's good | though for me to put a little money | nto." remarked pr. Wiser, If you l lave enough of it to do any good" | When his friends insisted that they | lad four or five feet of it the or ,anizatiOn of the company was in tantly begun, and it will not be long Intil work will be done to demon trate more accurately the value of he property. Mir. Mardis is expected ! Iome any day and may bring added
