considerable work has been done.
 The formation of the rock is a hem etite and altered amdesite surrounded on all sides by porphry, lime and granite It is a formation common in the hills about the strike, and has in the past been shipped from the Bouse station to Los Angeles where 1t has been used in the making of paints such as are used for the coloring of freight cars. It was known to be a metal bear ing rock, though the existence of gold to any quantity in the rock was doubt ed. It differs greatly from the rich rock of the Glory Hole. which is some 40 miles east of the strike, in all ways. The Glory Hole strike was a pocket. while all indications point to perman
 ensy in this discovery. The Glory rock was wire gold in a quartz formation
 while this is a lighter rock, bearing
 fIakey gold in a wholly different form.
 The work on the mine already done, as before said, would indicate that the deposit is at the least one of some size, and that it may be lasting. There has been sunk on the find a shaft forty five feet deep. and eight feet square. This shaft has been in a solid ore body, at no time varying in richness or qual- ity. Drifts driven some distance from every angle of the shaft have failed to tap the end of the rich gold bearing strata, and the workers of the claim do not as yet know the extent to which the find may be developed. The ore is a remarkable free flake variety, differ ent from any gold ore seen in this state previously and bearing so much of the yellow metal that the naked eve would at a first glance take it for pyrites. Engineers who have seen the prop erty are said to have pronounced it one of the richest if not the richest that has ever been uncovered in the south west. w. F. Edwards of Los Angeles and other coast points, stated yesterday that The property is one of the great est surface shoWings that I have ever seen in my years as a mining man If it is lasting it will be the find of the century. and will be the equal of any mine ever discovered in the United States"
 MT Edwards in company with Ezra W. ThaYer and C. B. King of this city left for the scene of the strike last evening Edwards has been on the ground before and is fairly familiar with the conditions. They will be away on this trip until the end of the week
 Edwards reports that there are aI- ready on the ground of the strike seV- eral men who were at the Cioldfield and other prominent rushes. Beside these. are engineers familiar with min ing conditions the world over, who. at
 tracted by the reports of the find on the coast, and by the results of the run at the Shelby smelter. have come ( be on the ground in case there is rush
 There is already on the dump at the mine, packed in sacks and ready to be taken to the siding at Rouse a good start toward another car load of the same rock which when before shipped to the San Francisco shelter brought $11.500 and men who have seen the ore state that the car coming up will as say as high if not higher than the other.
 The strike if it lasts will be the big gest that has ever been made in this state. It will mean the building up ot the new Bouse, the town which has in the past ten years known as many booms as years. It will mean an in fluX of people to all parts of the state. and will bring an increase of business to every town in the southern and east ern part of Arizona Another Gold field, but greater. and some of those who have seen it claim it is all that
 will mean the re-advertising of the whole state of Arizona in a manner never before contemplated.
 The scattered news of the strike go ing out to the coast, and out over the camps of the Bouse district has al- ready brought many people to the city
 of the new find. With the confirma-
 tion of the strikes richness, and with
 the absolute knowledge that it is per manent. another rush and a greater one will take place. There should be 5000
 people in Bouse inside the next five weeks" said E. H Bissell. who was at the scene of the find some two weeks past, last evening. and I do not doubt 1 for a moment there will be lasting benefits to the state from the find. So many well known mining engineers and miners would not be on the ground at the present time if it were not great find"
