there is hardly chance in the minds
of mining men who judge by precedent,
but that another big paying mine of
the bonanza sort will soon be added to
this county's quote of producing proper
ties. Some of the samples exhibited
locally undoubtedly carry values of
from $5, 900 to 0,0O0, and the size of
the ledge uncovered makes us know that
shipping operations will quickly follow.
The exact scene of the strike, is as
stated, three miles west of Alpine, in
Florence canyon, where a very large
mineraized area has been known to ex-
list for many years. Afford made his
discovery by persistent work. First,
discovering the presence of gold by
making paintings from the dirt in the
creek bottom. The pay dirt was thus
followed for days and days and at diff
ferent times Afford would go beyond
the scene of his discovery, where the
colors would be absent. Retracing his
steps he spent many weary days, only
to be rewarded richly in the end.
Already Afford has received offers
that would make him rich man upon
acceptance. Just what disposition he
will make of his discovery is not known
at this time. The difficulties that once
surrounded his work have apparently
been succeeded by oppulence and he
seems to be man who will make the
best of the rich reward that has been
his in return for industy and persever-
ance. He is now in Fallon and is con-
sidering the various offers that are
coming in thick and fast.

STRIKE AT
ALPINE
PROSPECTOR UNCOvERS GOLD
A Large Ledge Bearing Fabulous Values In Gold
By Charles Afford, Three Miles West OF
Alpine in Eastern Part Of
Churchill County

A strike that has caused considerable
excitement in Fallon occurred in the
Alpine district in eastern Churchill
county last week, when Charles Afford,
prospector, discovered ledge carry
ing free milling gold to fabulous ex-
tent, at point three miles west of AL
pine post office. The picture rock is
from ledge that has lain exposed and
unseen and apparently permeates an
immense porphyry dixie some hundred
feet in width. The dixie has been
