BONANZA DAYS
In the Quljotos Region, as Recalled by
 the Mining Revival There.
Mining Recordl

country was the bonanza camp of southern Arizona. On the top of great bluff which forms the crest of the mountain, rich mineral was discovered. The rock was silver bearing, but silver at that time was worth $1.29 per ounce, and there was more money in the white metal than the then discovered yellow metal could dream of The ore was found on the tip of the great Quijotoa bluff and ran as high as $350 to the ton. The discoverers were Albert Weldon, Alex Mckay, Jack Long and several others whose names the writer does not recall. They had been grub staked" by the late William c. Davis, and being a shrewd business man the disposal of the property naturally fell to him. In those days the great mining kings of the Pacific coast were Mackey and Fair, Flood and O'Brien. Mackey and Fair were mining men, and Flood and O'Brien were saloon keepers in San Francisco. All were fortunate in stock speculation and having pooled issues were known as the Bonanza firm" "To him that hath let it be given" was further exemplifed by the sale of the Quijotoa properties. They came, they saw, they bought, and Tucson went wild over their pros pective entry into the Pima county mining field. In money they paid out over $100,000 and made the difference up with certain specified amounts of stock-for be it remem- bered that the stock was early list. ed on the boards in San Francisco.
 In the meantime the company went to work in earnest. They sank a we'll in the Santa Rosa val ley at 8 cost of over S10,000, bought the old Hermosa mill at Harshaw, and rebuilt it where it would do the most good; and an earnest effort was made to develop the property and make 1t return on the invest ment. But as shafts were sunk in the great bluff the ore became lean CT with depth. The company was still in earnest to develop mine. George Roskrudge, then, as now, a resident of Tucson, surveyed tunnel through the Quijotoa bluff. The excavation was begun on both sides and work was prosecuted both night and day. In the course of time the two holes met and were made one, but sad to relate, in that two thousand feet of tunnel they found no ore. The blowout on top, for such it proved to be, did not go down, and the Qnijotoa bubble was busted"
 In the meantime, once more Quijotoa stock had struck sky line and still the cry for more was echoed from the big California board. William c. Davis heard it and answered the call. Before go ing, however, he called on his old friend, Alex Mckay, and urged like action upon him. But Alex would not sell. He had, he said, "done so much for the Bonanza firm that he was sure they would not throw him down." But Mr.. Davis more shrewdly thought other

The federals then halted; a recon noissance made, and the roll of troops called. TWenty-two discon- tentos, it is known, have been kill ed, the government forces losing none killed, and six wounded, one of whom has since died. Two dis contentos were taken prisoners.
 Much comment has been made on this official report, people af- fecting to find it incredible that a body of troops being ambushed by we'll armed force, and carrying on a running fight for three hours, should escape without losing man killed. Some of the reasons given for the small federal loss was that the discontentos shot from horseback, and also were not train ed marksmen. However, the ac- count of the correspondent who was an eyewitness of the battle, agrees with the official report.
 This Sundays morning, NOvem- Der 28, was day long to be re- mem bered. The battle seemed to be but an excnse for Chihuahua holiday. By II o'clock the people began pouring out in the direction of the battlefield and the hills were covered with sightseers, some of them near enOngh to enjoy the situation as they would a bull fight, and see many saddle emptied, or rebel reel and fall ih the red mire of the arroyos.
 A vast crowd witnessed the re- turn of the troops at about 4:3O p. m. Tired looking they marched, carrying their wounded and three prisoners bound and marching be. tween them. A troop of women, the soldiers viejaS, or inseparable companions, marched gaily along, bearing burdens on their backs and keeping up an incessant chat ter.
 One of the sightseers Mir. Thack CT said: Sunday morning 1 went 1 in coche to the dam with a friend when we heard shots. We started in the direction of Las EscObaS Ranch. and when we got to tho top of the hill we saw a company of soldiers rapidly going in the direc- tion of the shots. They were stretched out in long line with mounted officer in front. They marched about twenty minutes when we saw them lie down and begin shooting at a body of mount ed men skirtipg the hills number ing about fifty, who were about one kilometer distant. The crack of the rifles kept up without in- termission. In little while we saw riderless horse gallop by which we knew by the accoutre- ments to be an officers. Beyond was another hill, behind which we could not see, but knew from the rattle of the rifles and the curling smoke there was lively fighting go- ing on. Suddenly on the other side of the river riding at a trot ap- peared mounted rnrales, about 50, who were advancing in the direc- ton of the Giscontentos, with the evident intention of getting in their rear. They followed in and out the winding hills, and at last disappeared. Soon the firing al- most ceased, and getting back to this city we learned that the dis contentos had been dispersed.",

the stock he had, and came home feeling financially better for the deal. When the Bonanza firm learned of the action of Mir. Davis they were wrathy and demanded the cause, saying, we told you not to sell that stock" In reply Mir. Davis said, gentlemen, whenever l have something that someone else wants worse than l do, 1 always let them have it." Right here it may be sad that Mir. Davis was the only one who made d dollar out of the stock taken as part payment. When it was discovered that the ore bodies were non-continous, the bottom dropped out of the market. The stock had no quotation and was practically valueless. At this stage of the proceedings the old board of directors met, repudiated both stock and debts and organized a new company, and on the ruins of the old. In the meantime, the work of cutting a straight hole through the capping of the Quijo toa mountain went steadily on, but there was no ore and the Quijotoa with it's bonanza lining was allow ed to pass out of the memory of present generation of men. In those days nearly every old miner was a "Comstock man." He had worked in Virginia City or on Gold Hill, and had, or claimed to have had, personal acquaintance with one or more of the Bonanza firm, and faith in the ultimate outcome died hard. As a stock proposition to work the unsuspecting public 1t was considered par excellence, and it was maintained by many that if it was necessary to pad the report with Comstock bullion the com pany would not hesitate to make the shipment. This belief led to a ludicrous robbery. A bar of babbit
 metal which to the uneducated eye resembles silver in the rough, was sent to the Quijotoa for use in the mill. Atthe express office it was dumped into the body of the stage. On that particular morning there was one lone passenger. He was stranger in Tucson and was un- known. When the stage reached the top of Robles pass he was known to be still in 1t, but when the change station was reached he was gone and the bar of babbit metal had gone with him. As neither were ever heard of after wards, the metal is still supposed to be cached somewhere in the hills west of town.
 All this time, while the game on the hill was being played and lost, the valley lying at the foot and i'm mediately east of the range fairly reeked with gold. That it con tained yellow metal was known to every placer minerin the Southwest. In the great Horshoe basin, north east, of the range, the Indians had dry washed for the precious metal for nearly 100 years. They were visited in 1878 by the writer in company with Oscar Ashburn of Santa Cruz county, and an old Mexican, an uncle of the wife of the late Ru6no Velez. This man knew of the gold strewn ground. When a young man, and this country was still part of the re- public of Mexico, these placers

THE "BATTLE"-
Account ot the Recent Fighting Near
 Chihuahua.
Chihuahua Enterprise


 After the events at San Andres, the rebel bands which had operat- ed in that section of the country were kept track of pretty we'll by the authorities, who were in close touch with their movements. Since the night before they had known that these same malcontents had advanced far enough to meet at the El Fresno Ranch, and at 4:30 Sun day, in the gray of the morning four companies of the Twentieth battalion recently arrived from Mexico City and two squadrons of the Thirteenth regiment newly come in from Aguascalientes, all being under the command of Brig adler General J. J. Navarro, and numbering 600 men, went out on the high road to meet them.
 The troops continued to march according to plans adopted, and with guides well acquainted with the theater of operations, the sleep. ing city faded in the distance.
 The head ofthe column had pass ed Rancho de las Escobas, famed for many lawless deed, and the Lechuga crime committed a year ago, the victim being a Syrian peddler, and continued its march uninterruptedly to El Fresno
 The rear guard, formed by a squadron of the Third regiment, composed of 100 men, under com mand of Captain Florentino Go- beo, was some distance from EI Fresno. When this force crossed the road that winds along the foot of Cerros del Teeolote, 23 leagues from Chihuahua, a body of mount ed rebels, a detached portion of those they had been following Nsuddenly appeared on the hills entrenched behind a wall of rocks and opened fire on the squadron.
 It Is necessary here to suspend the narration and say a word on the much disputed point as to how many malcOntents were actually engaged in Sundays fight. The federal officers report places the number at about 400, and some civilians who were in more or less proximity to the battle agree with l them, but men in close touch witt the malcontents, residents in the vicinity ofthe battle ground who saw the rebels the night before and during the battle, agree in say ing that they did not number al the highest estimate more thar 100.
 The soldiers, surprised, defend ed themselves with great spirit while the main body, which hac preceded some distance ahead hearing the shots wheeled about and hastened back to take part ir the fight.
 The battle lasted about three hours, from 9:30 a. m. to 12:3C D. m., the malcontents stubbornly resisting the onset of the troops but steadily and slowly givinG way, retreating and fighting iron hill to hill. The troops continued to press them so hard that finally they broke and dispersed in var ious directions, but reuniting at { point known as El Cahon de lo' Burros.
