SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN
DISCOVERY is CONFIRMED

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 21.-Frank
Dana confirms the news of the great
strike in the southern end of the Su-
perstition mountains on the Carney
claims. He believes it is the greatest
strike ever made in the territory. He
heard of it and went there from Gold
field to see for himself.
The Carney group is owned by P. T.
Carney, for a long time overseer for
the Copper Queen.
Two years ago Mr.. Carney had the
claims bonded to the Guggenheims for
$780, 900. There was a ledge of rich
copper ore running alongside the
mountain and 1t was the copper that
the Guggenheim agent wanted, but the
negotiations were, never concluded and
Mr.. Carney continued the develop
ment work.
The recent strike is not copper, but
gold The ledge was found at the foot
Of the mountain, dipping under it at an
angle Of 45 degrees toward the copper
vein.
When Mr.. Dana saw it on Friday the
ledge was 21a feet wide and getting
wider with depth and runs $77.20 in
gold, 2.7 per cent copper and 81 in
silver.
Every particle of rock taken from
the hole shows gold in the pan. This
ledge runs parallel with the copper
ledge and no doubt joins it at the base
of the mountain, at which junction
