R|CHORESTR|KE IN AbE LINCOLN
 MINE |S REPORT
Vein Of Almost Incredible
 Richness Has Been Uncov- cred Assaying, It Is Said,
 Over 45 Per Cent Copper

If assays are any indication and shelter returns are of account. Con- stellation, east of Wickenburg, is due for listing as one of the bonanza camps of the southwest. The Monte Cristo near Constellation, is known as one of the phenomenal silver properties of America and as a potential copper mine of wondrous possibilities
 But second great mine appears to have been added within the past few days On the same dike as the Monte Cristo, two miles distant, lies the old Abe Lincoln property, which for two years has been operated under the management of E. w. Gettin of Omaha, with Charles Mathorst, formerly of the United Verde, as superintendent. They have sunk shaft to 700 feet of depth and have driven, at another point, a tunnel several hundred feet long
 A Bonanza Strike
 The big story is, that in the shaft has been cut sulphide that assays, across a breast of 27 feet, no less than l2 per cent copper, 5 ounces of silver to the ton and S5 in gold.
 Still better is to come: In the tunnel assumed to be in carbonates, though information by telephone to The Re publican is not clear on this point, has been cut a vein ten feet wide, that beats 45 per cent in copper. with 12 ounces of silver and $10 in gold thrown in for variety. These latter figures are almost incredible, yet are vouched for hV A R Nnll< wit IIo this city, now president of the Wicken- burg chamber of commerce and man. ager of the Brayton Commercial com pany at that point.
 Much Excitement
 MT Volk states that, mildly speaking. Wickenburg is excited over the news. and that about all the vacant ground in the Constellation section already has been located. He believes it spells metropolitan development for his town and incidental commercial riches for Phoenix.
 The Abe Line In lies about thirteen miles east of Wickenburg, reached by the main road and a four-mile side road lately constructed by the com pany. It is in highly mineralized section, that hos been mined for many years and that has been a steady pro- ducer of wealth, with good assays to be found in almost every prospect hole of the many that have been driven.
 Between the Monte Cristo and the new bonanza lies the Eagle property. owned by the Inspiration Consolidated Copper company of Miami. now under development. If such great wealth as reported is found anywhere in Ari- zona- it is logical that Constellation should be it's location.
 Get Out Ore at Once
 The fortunate miners are going to realize at once on their find. Nearly 50 miners already are at work breaking down the ore, and on Monday sixteen teams will be started hauling it to Wickenburg, there to be handled through the Wickenburg sampling works, which will renew operations for this especial purpose.
 There is speculation in Wickenburg whether the new activity might not cause a degree of realization on the great ore bodies stoped out in the Monte Cristo, a property magnificently developed, yet without effort to dis pose of any of it's riches of white metal. Its principal owner is Ezra Thayer. a Phoenix merchant.
