He captured all of their camp equippage and followed them to the New Mexico line, where he was compelled to give up the pursuit. There were two squaws in the party. . A strike of considerable magnitude has been made in the mountain range north of Mountain Springs by Henry Schaefer. The discovery was made some time ago by an Indian known as "Jeff", who for a consideration piloted MT. Schaefer to the place. The ore is rich in silver and assays as high as 5000 ounces per ton. The people of Gold Basin are Hooking in and hundreds of locations have been made. The mines are embraced in the Gold Basin district and are situated about nine miles from Cold Springs, westerly ,and ten miles north of Mountain Springs. Water is scarce, but is considered no impeachment to the hardy prospector. The ledge located by MT. Schaefer is considered a bo- nanza by all who have seen it. Many people are going or have gone from this district and many good locations are sure to be made.
