WIN NOPE and grope
Without q hope,
When joys are to be had?
And after spring, comes summer
With all the gifts she brings

With earth so gay.

You will note these holes were shall
low, although they show good values
for surface.
During the year 1923, six test holes
were drilled in the Hassayampa River
about three miles from Morristown.
These holes were drilled to bed rock
and carefully sampled. The sand and
gravel taken from these test holes
showed that they contained placer
gold to the value of 4619 cents per
cubic yard from top to bottom.
The placer areas giving rich results
in early days were Rich Hill, Groom
Creek, Rogers Wash, and the San
Domingo Washes. T. Lane Carter in

August 10th, 1912, mentioned one area

by pits, giving forty cents per cubic
yard on The average.
In the year 1925 twenty shafts or
pits were sunk in Hassayampa River
to depth of ten feet. The sands and
gravel from each of these shafts were
carefully sampled for gold with the
result that they showed value of
liz cents in gold to the cubic yard.

Several engineers have proposed to
build storage dams to catch the heavy

licking this area. 1t has also been sug-

used for hydraulic mining. The par

Dear Sir:-Your communication rel
ative to the Hassayampa Placers re-
ceived. During the past / have cover
ed nearly every part of that district
and am familiar with it's gold produc-
ing possibilities. From my standpoint
l believe its development has been
neglected on account of the difficult
ties experienced by claim holders and
prospectors in raising necessary funds
to obtain equipment for operation
such as high cost dredges and power.
The water shed of the Hassayampa
covers an area of over one thousand
square miles. This area has through
old placer workings on various feeder
creeks a record of over five million
dollars. The various quartz mines
have records of over forty million
dollars. Among these are the Vul-
ture, Congress, Alvarado, Rincon, Var
nell and Octave. The erosion of the
old veins all drained to the Hassay-
ampa. The placer areas giving rich
results in early days were Rich Hill

GAME AND FISH BILL TO BE VOT

placing the proposed amendment, re-

ment, which adds:
Secretary's Statement
"On March %, the secretary of state
called the governors attention to the
conflict of Senate Bill No. 81, the
game and fish measure in which it
states it should be submitted at the
next general election, although House
Bill No. 225 called for the special elec-
tion to be held on September 20, pro-
vides that Senate Bill No. 21 should
be voted upon at the special election.
'The governor issued his proclama-

lished in each of the several counties.
and this proclamation included Chap
ter S2, House Bill No. 226, extending
the WOrkmen'B compensation and
