j. Fl. TAFT has returned from a
business trip he made to Los An
geles, Calf
w. i. Smith, who is engaged n
mining about 130 miles southwest OF
4. Ato has recently taken gold ore from
Sm mine which assayed $60S.40 to
dhe ton. One was a picked sample
taken from a depth of eight feet,
the ledge from which it came being
81 feet in width. The second was
taken from the same ledge and was
not a picked sample; this was from
a depth OF four feet and from vein
two feet wide. This strike seems to
be convincing proof Of the fact that
the west coast of Mexico in Sonora
to the south of Ajo is undoubtedly
rich, both In gold and silver. While
all properties there are not big or
rich, yet there is good ground to be
prospected and proven.
