Interesting History Of It IS Given By
 w. N. Kelly
Has Been Producer Every Rainy Season Since
 Found
(From Fridays Daily.)

In communication to the Journal
 Miner, yesterday, W. N. Kelly, one
 of the best known of the Hassayampa
 colony, and an authority on incl dents and interesting history of the early days, says that the article ia this paper in reference to the men tiOn of New England Gulch, is uE- founded, and should be corrected be- fore it attains circulation generally, by substituting England Gulch. " Continuing the subject, Mir Kelly says:
 "In early days, old man England, an experienced placer miner, was the first to make discoveries in that guleh. He washed out nuggets that ranged in value to over $1O0 apiece, and these I have personally inspect ed. Smaller ones were also secured, and in a short time the place was well known as England Guieh. to commemorate the name of the dis eoverer. Until recently this appel lation has been lived up to, and it is to be regretted that the tribute to the disuoverer is losing it's old time regard. I do not like the idea of destroying old landmarks, neither dc I, anlong with many other pio- neers. believe that the old time names should be effaeed from mem ory because the new sounds better than the old titles. Old man Eng land, with J. C. Dunn, Big" French and MT. Begole, all among the earliest pioneer residents, left Prescott in the early '7Os for Colo radO, and were the first to maks dis eoveries of placer ground in, the San Juan country of that state All ae- quired a fortune, and MT. BegOle re- mained there as a merchant. He died only a few years ago, from the eff fects of an arrow wound received at the hands of Indians near the old Banning ranch, two miles south of Prescott. From the day the others left I have never heard of them. To reeur to the riches of England Guleh, I will say that hardly a rainy sea son ever passed but what that his torieal point mas not produced hand somely in placer dust. Thousands of dollars have been washed out in a favorable season, and the output seems to have been inexhaustible- The Alters nuggets are interesting to refer to from the fact that it verifies the regard entertained for that region in the early day.
 ''Whether the guleh IS mined in the future or not, or whether it pro duees a cent or thousand, preserve the memory of the man who made the first discovery, and let it be known as the pioneers knew it, England Guleh.'' ''

Pratt is very iR- dignant over his arrest, and states that the animal he is accused oef stealing was borrowed to come ts this city on.

Selling a Mine.

We heard, recently, of big invest
ment syndicate. in the market for min
ing properties, which, through its en-
gineers, examined fifty-four PROPOSE
lions during a period of twelve months.
Forty of these were reported upon as
being nothing more than prospects.
Ten were possessed of some value, and
but four came up to anything like the
representations made for them. One,
and one, only, was purchased, but not
at the price originally asked, which was
81, 900, 900.
After making an exhaustive examina-
ton it was demonstrated that this mine
had a million, in sight, in its workings;
but, it was not worth million to the
syndicate, as it stood, and for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First, 1t would cost 5000, 900 to mine
and market this ore, no matter whether
it was done by the original owner, or
the purchasing syndicate.
Second, interest upon the investment
must be provided for, and
Third, there should be some profit on
the investment, as well.
These condition were presented clear
ly to the owner. He had not thought
of them before. But, he considered
that they were reasonable, and reduced
his price to $3.50, 900, which was accept
ed by the syndicate.
One other property was found to have
a million in ore in sight, but the owner
stood out for price of million. He
still has the property, and is more thar
likely to keep on owning it for some
time to come. Now and then mar
will be found who would be willing tt
swap dollar for dollar; but he would
side step when asked to give dollal
for eighty-five cents. The syndicat,
might have been willing to have givel
million in cash for mine showing
million, net, in ore in sight, trusting t.
the probability that more ore would b
developed in taking out the million; bu
