Arizona republican., 1909-03-23

Concerning the capitalization and
value of the shares of the company
owning the Arizona Northern group. it
was stated last night that the new
owners had not yet matured their plans
sufficiently to make an announcement
There Is More Ground.
The above facts set forth exactly the
ownership and status quo of the two
groups comprising twelve claims on
and surrounding the new strike. 1t
will be no use for anybody else to rush
To the scene, expecting to secure prop
erty within many hundred feet of the
GLORY Hole" for it is all grabbed.
Nevertheless. that does not Imply that
there is no use in further prospecting
This is only one golden blowout and
there may be many. or what is equally
as good. though not so spectacular.
there may be many lodges in the same
country Of good high grade. workable
ore. 4 group Of claims on the trend of
the same big quartz dixie. adjoining the
Arizona Northern on the east. owned
by Joe Fuller and associates. who have
been lef; in charge Of the Glory Hole
while the owners are in Phoenix, was
bonded a few days ago to a man named
Ross. who is supposed 20 be represent
ing Senator Newlands OF Nevada Hi
Griffin told The Republican last night
that the quartz dixie, averaging 40 feet
wide. can be followed for four miles
through the country and that II is in
tersected at frequent intervals by cross
bikes in thickness all the way from
foot to 100 feet in width and that near
one Of these Intersections was found
the GLORY Hole" There are hundreds
of places that to the ordinary pros
pector would look just as inviting as
the one that has proved such a wonder.
A mile or two south of the Arizona
Northern. the exact location not hav-
ing been learned by the writer. is a
property recently secured by Jay ].
Sullivan. a mining man of much eX-
perience. and for which he paid a good
price and believes he has the making
Of good mine He has no interest in
the Arizona Northern. but has seen the
strike and only wishes he did have.
Last evening he told one Of the mem
bers Of the company that if he was
given four feet each side Of the GLORY
Hole" and ten feet of depth he would
undertake to dig out the purchase price
of the mine and would probably have
some left for himself. That is not
mentioned as demonstration OF value
but only TO show what Mr.. Sullivan
thinks of the prospect.
AIgier's Group.
Shorty Algier. who was also a caller |
at The Republican office last night. |
along with Hi Griffin. saws he has a |
group Of claims about four miles south |
couple Of miles from the railroad that |
he feels sure will some day make him
rich. now that he has a little money
to work with. He says he has done
work on them and has a
well defined vein that runs from six
inches to two feet wide. from which
he has secured 800 assays frequently,
bu there is no rich gingerbread gold In
sight like the new strike. Often he has
taken his best rock down to Salome
and shown it to people who would look
at it curiously. admit that it was good
and cast it aside. II was only Shorty
AIgier and some more of his samples"
and everybody would refuse to get eX-
cited. Just because he could not show
the free gold sticking out Of it. Never
theless, he says it will some day be a
big mine. even if it does not produce
any jewelry. 1t is quantity of ore as
much as quality that counts.
His story Of the strike was related
by both himself and Griffin at different
times and both agree. Shorty was go
ing from the property above mentioned
when he met Barker and was asked TO
go along to camp with his blanket roll
and help him stake out the claims ad

camp Barker told him the place in the
wash below where he had picked up
the rich piece Of float nine years ago.
He SAYS that he and others nave also
found rich float in that country for
many years but could never locate it,
md shorty told Barker that although
he had prospected that old hill in front

It once more. He did so, working his

zone two hours when he pried open the
over Of Natures jewel box.
The Big Strike.
Griffin was asked concerning the
showing on the property aside from
he immediate strike. He said that
here is big fault in the quartz dixie
which makes a turn or break for some
distance. then continues on east in the
;ame general direction. and largely to |
his fault he LAYS the enrichment of the
he main body Of that hill. He says
hat the strike is near one end OF the
ault or curve and that probably 200
