PRACTICAL WORK PROVES BIG
 GOLD MINE
STRIKE MADE SHORT TIME AGO ON OLD ELK IS VERY IMPORTANT ONE
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Six feet of solid ore body, ranging in value from $40 to $5l per ton in gold, is the outcome of development during the past few months on the Elk mine in Hassayampa district
 This important determination was verified yesterday by w. s. Wilhelm, who arrived from Long Beach, Cal. to make observations of the property, where his son is in charge. Giving particulars of this noteworthy matte. Mir. Wilhelm stated the strike was made at a point about 135 feet from the mouth of the old tunnel run many years ago. In resuming development it was deemed advisable to divert from the line of the work performed and accordingly the course was changed to right angles. Surface in- dications warranted this movement by outcrop conditions.
 The intention now is to go ahead on a very much larger plan than in- tended" said Mr. Wilhelm yesterday The new ore body will be explored fully. and as well will the New State and the Perry be opened up, all lying on the same Assure, and with identica mineral characteristics in evidence
 This strike is expressing very mucf attention in mining circles, principal ly for the reason that the Elk and the Perry are among the properties locat- ed and worked to limited extent as long ago as thirty years. The New State is of recent location. All three mines were purchased last fall by the Maricopa Queen Oil Co.,, of Califor- nia. on the recommendation of Mir Wilhelm. their consulting engineer the deals being closed on cash basis. The payment for the New State was made few days ago to Robert Griffith Mir. Wilhelm is accompanied on the trip by his brotherin-law, J B. Duncan. who will make Prescott his future home.

 James Moffett was regarded here as one of the most daring of men, a good trailer, and venturesome in dividual with will of iron. In short he was a soldier of fortune," with the nerve to meet any emergency. He has been located at Cananea since leaving here, but when the trouble started Moffett's daring attracted at tention and he won the admiration and confidence of Villa as one of few Americans to be placed on his staff. Moffett, according to accounts received, is keeping up his reputation for daring deeds, and advices receiv- ed from reliable sources state he is a hard nut for the Carranza forces to crack.
