ORE SAMPLES RUN HIGH
 IN GOLD VALUES
From Thursdays Daily,

in Prescott yesterday of Lester
 Jackson, who is operating the Glad
 stone and War Eagle mines under
 bond, and the creation of one of
 the most attractive mineral combina.
 tions in the county is practically as.
 sured. While it was currently re-
 ported a few days ago that fabu-
 lous assays were returned from the
 ores struck in the latest work, the
 verifying of the same was not au.
 thorized until additional tests were
 made and given publicity.
 The values returned cover four
 sample lots, and are as follows:
 Sample No. l gave $160S in gold and $50 in silver; sample No. ?, pick.
 ed from the second class ore, went
 to $144 in gold and $7.2O in silver;
 sample No. 3 was taken from mill dirt on the footwall, and gave $1O in gold and $5 in silver; sample No. 4 was from the rich streak, and went to $2965 in gold and $3s.5O in sil- yer.
 Before these samples were assay ed, MT. Jackson, a few days pre- vious, gave Herbert Meany, super intendent of the Tiger, a chunk of the ore, which the latter had assay ed at his camp. It ran to $374O in gold and $S4 in silver to the ton. The announcement of these values by MT. Meany started some little excitement in the Bradshaw region, and until the arrival of MT. Jackson from his camp, the people of the city were unaware of the existence of this mineral valuation.
 Another interesting matter has been established in favor of the property, through an analysis of the ores made by R. H .Hetherington, in which telluride of gold is shown in a strong percentage of the ores. This character of ore is the first to be discovered in that region, and the first also of any extent to be mined in northern Arizona. Those familiar with the Cripple Creek product in this line, say it is identical in its mineral makeup to that noted field.
 At this tune, particularly, and since a theory of the operator of these mines has been followed out so successfully on practical methods of mining, it will be interesting to review the past work that covers but one year of persistent effort. As is generally known the Gladiator was closed down several years ago, and after the deepest workings had reached a point on the 600 foot level. Securing a bond on this prop erty Mir. Jackson investigated the existence of the War Eagle vein, be- lieving that when depth was reached through the old Gladiator workings, on the 600 foot level, he would be ouNNtocluls llOul HIS Ul the ground on the War Eagle, which he worked many years ago to limited depth. From the 600 foot level on the Gladiator he drifted south 300 feet, and then crosscut seventeen feet, picking up what is known as the center vein of the War Eagle.
 At that point he dug into eighteen inches of ore that went to $50 in gold. After drifting twenty feet far ther the vein measured ten inches and sampled $26O in gold and $14 in silver. He continued drifting for forty-fve feet, and it is at this point where the values have reached ] such a fabulous sum.
 His original plans will be follow ed out as outlined which is to con- tinue drifting until the War Eagle ! shoot is reached, or where the three veins converge, which is estimated to be about 25O feet distant. When this is accomplished he will have depth on the property of CPS feet, | which is permitted through the ab- sorbing of the old workings of the Gladiator.
 From the beginning of this note worthy work of exploitation. favor able conditions have prevailed. Af- i ter the ore shoot was picked up when the crosscut was run. the vein | has increased in size and with it values have been heavier, as the work progressed. Through this de- velopment another interesting fact | is established for the property.
 For a distance of 6OOO feet a con- tinuous Assure is proven to be in existence on the War Eagle and | Gladiator locations, which with the | depth now established in perman- eney of the ore bodies will give some idea of the magnitude of the
