SALOME DANCING
AGAIN WITH JOY
Rich Strike in Harqua Hala
Mine Causes Sensation
in Arizona District.


the Harqua Hala has Just struck what
is apparently the downward contnua-
ton of the famous old Castle Garden
Slope, with its production record Of
over million dollars in high grade
gold ore from one level; because the
Glory Hole Bonanza has started work
and has already found some gold; be
cause the CObrita has commenced snip
ping q per cent copper ore, because
E A C"'Bob") Montgomery, the famous
Nevada mining millionaire. has struck
some good ore on the Cuff property I:
and lastly, because new coming IN and
new work is being started all around
Harqua HnIa Comes Back.
The HaTqua Hala has already pro-
duced over $4,000 above a vertical depth
of less than zoe feet and today appears
to be bigger than II ever was me
Harqua Hala was discovered in much
the same way as the Glory Hole. Some
high grade ore. almost nuggets. was
picked up on the surface and only a
little work was done by the original
locators. who soon sold IL TO capitalists
were taken out and several times the
mine was supposed TO be worked out
but each time il has come IN better
than ever. one time the management
was about ready TO close down, when
John Dougherty followed a knife blade
seam and opened the famous castle
Garden stOpe, which soon WIdened out
10 go feet. All the ore from this stope
averaged about 500 = ton in gold,
while streaks and punches carried fabu-
lOus values. The first round OF hOles
where DouEherty broke into the ore
shot out four candle boxes OF JeWelry
ore that contained over S35,OOU II gold.

This property is now being developed
by the Yuma Warrior company. backed
by II William Stevens and associates
John B. Martin is il charge as superin-
tendent- Little attention has been paid
to the old workings, except as q guide
and indication Martin has sunk into
the footwaH porphyry and evidently
cut the main vein and fractured zone
which carried the values up into the
pOrphyry quartziJe contact The sixth
level is below the bottom OF the older
explored ore bodies ana the new work
ings extend TO the eighth level. Martin
now has the vein, or ore body, exposed
in the porphyry on three levels, HIlh
considerable drifting on ear l. The vein
averages from three TO Is feet or more
in width and is getting bigger all the
time The average values. not count
ing the high grade spots, are over $40
ton gold and five per cent copper,
with little silver.

sion of the old Castle Garden ore shoot

pan and horned without crushing
give a stringer OF gold that would make
any high graders eyes glisten- Some
OF the gold IS as coarse as mustard

The ore in the upper and older work
ings is all free milling but that now
being opened up on the lower levels
is rapidly showing the permanent sui

tered porphyry with copper sulphides
and gold disseminated through It.

piled up ready 70 treatment by oil flo
tation or water concentration as soon

is being done but the free milling ores
taken out in development are sufficient
TO keep the mill turning out bricks
regularly.

iround the Harqua Hala, they are I
