PLACER BOOM
in NORTH END
SEVERAL LARGE DRY WASHING
PLANTS ARE NOW UNDER CON-
sTRucTIoN IN NORTHERN YU4
MA COUNTY,.

There are three large dry washing
plants now under construction in nor
thern Yuma county, ONE at La Paz
and two at Plomosa. The ChoIla
placers have been sold to parties who
ALSO contemplate the erection of a
plant.
There are good placers at Cave
Creek, New Water, Black Buttes, Mid
die Camp. Kings, Ooro Fino, Trigos,
and ON the east slope of Plomosa
range and at Scaddens Wash, all of
which would justify large workings
The most extensive preparation
has been made at Plomosa, where
two Large plants are under construc
ton and where recent discoveries
have astonished not only the owners
but all prospectors.
In this vicinity the upper gravels
have been worked in most cases to
hard cement bed rock varying in
depth from two to thirty feet. No
one feeling like spending the neces-
sary money or time, but the manager
OF the Yuma Consolidated company,
after sinking a number of shafts to
this false bedrock and meeting with
such good results, decided to go to
the real bedrock if it took them to
China He decided ON starting at the
bottom of 30-foot shaft that sam
pied $1.45 per yard from the surface
to the cement The work was prose
cuted for several weeks down through
a very hard cemented conglomerate
which only occasionally showed a few
time colors. AT 80 feet pay began TO
come in in a damp red gravel; at 95
feet they struck rim of a slOping
bedrock. After squaring up the bot
tom i'm this bedrock they stopped.
Careful sampling of this fifteen feet
from the 80 to the 95-foot level result
ed as follows; The entire Is feet
sampled $5.25 per yard; the lower 9
feet $3.50 per yard. There is 80 feet
of surface gravel at $1.45 per yard
and Is feet of bedrock gravel at
$5.24 to work.
The company has proven this sur
face rum ito be 600 feet wide and are
now starting another shaft 200 feet
away in order to later drift between
the two and open UP the bedrock run
similar to coal mime. This discov-
cry has excited aM who have heard of
it and a young placer boom is about
starting.

Brooks again demurred, and after
said demurrer had been clearly and
forcibly enunciated, Brooks took the
count, his erstwlhile partner swatting
him terrific wallop ON the aw,
which he quickly followed up with
other wallops. When Brooks couldn't
stand, the infuriated partner dragged
him by the heels for while At
