Her Rich MinesThe La Fortuna and King of Arizona Great Mineral Wealth Yet Un developed Castle Dome Lead Mines. The County Lies Directly in the Haiti Gold Belt that Begins in Alaska and Ends in Mexico. The following article is extracted from Governor Murphy's annual report to the Secretary of the Interior and is an interesting presentation of facts re garding some of the mineral resources of Yuma county, and a description of two of the richest gold mines; also something of the Castle Dome lead mines: KING OF ARIZONA. The gold-bearing property, known for a time as the Gleason, has been transferred to the King of Arizona Mining and Milling Company, a cor poration organized under the laws of the Terri tory of Arizona, with a capitalization of 5,000,000 shares of a par value of $1 each. This company owns four full claims the Homestakc, the King of Arizona, the Last Hope, and the Mucho Bueno. This district lies about thirty five miles due east of thd Cattle Dome Land ing, on the Colorado River. It is north of the Gila River and about 40 miles from Mohawk Summit, on the Southern Facific Railroad. This is the nearest station on the railway. There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona. The Homestake location covers the chief workings up to this date. There Is on this claim a strong vein of gold-bearing quartz. This lode or vein has three well-marked divisions or layers. On the hanging wall there is a soft layer from 1 to zyt Inches -wide, which averages about 52,800 per ton in value. Next below this there is a middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inches thick, which will average about ?90 to 8100 per ton in value. The remainder of the vein, so far as it is exposed by the shaft, aver ages about $24 per ton. Test holes have been drilled 3 feet deep into the foot wall, and all are in ore. The shaft by which the exposure of the nature of the vein has been made is 200 feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall a distance of 40 feet easterly and 30 feet westerly. These show a continuity of vein, having the same characters and values develop ed by the shaft. The hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than at the shaft- At a point about 30 feet west of the shaft and on a level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been crosscut from wall to wall, showing it 18 feet wide at that point. The ore in the crosscut is of about the same grade as that in the shaft. The croppings of the vein may be followed for some 700 feet of the Home stake shof t to a second opening, known as "The King of Arizona Shaft." This shaft is about 50 feet deep, and by means of drill holes the vein ' Is shown to be 11 feet in width and has an aver- age value of 510 per ton. At a point 300 feet east of the Homestake shaft a tunnel has been made , which crosscuts the vein 160 feet below the sur-. face. At this point the hanging wall vein is 18 inches wide and has an average value of $50 per ton. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet of " ai c running uduui w pci ion. ; ?Ttec ,uu" "" wu" MHwuM-uuiuiuutuii, , to foot wall along this tunnel is 40 feet. A drift j has bcen run along the foot wall to the Home stakc shaft at a distance of 300 feet, and the average value of the ore exposed is 314 per ton. LA rORTUKA MINE. In the early days of gold discovery of Califor nia, 1848, when the news reached the gold miners of Sonora, thcre was a general exodus of the able-bodied men who were able to get away ' northwest to the new El Dorado in California. ! and the state of Sonora contributed many men to the mining population. They took the old road, which was known as the "camino real," from Estancia and Altar northwestward, nearly parallel to the gulf, following the mountain ridge known as the Gila range, jast north of our ' present boundary. The road led to Yuma, and j 1853, from the fancied resemblence to the dome in passing the Gila range they went within a of the c.ipitol at Washington. This mountafn few feet or yards of a very modest outcrop of range, being but sparingly watered, has never quartz which no one seemed to consider of suf- j been convenient to prospect and very little is flcicnt value to merit any attention. That hum- j yet known of its- structure or mineral value, ble and insignificant quartz outcrop is today the The mines are usually reached from Yuma by outcrop of the great Fortuna mine. driving to Gila City and thence to the mine, It is situated on the westward slope and nearly from 10 to 18 miles east and inland from the at the base of the range of mountains called on river. The claims are numerous. Some some of the old maps the Gila range. This ' have been patented and worked to a depth trends northwesterly and reaches nearly to the of 300 feet or more. The veins are re Gila river at the point now known as Elaisdell. j markably regular and well formed.

The veins trend in a Where the rocks are exposed at that point they j general norlhwe'st and southeast course and are mostly of homogeneous granite, of gray , are nearly vertical. The outcrops are in color and weathered out at the surfaces, which, j dicated by outlying masses and weather however, are much pitted as if by decomposi- worn crystals of flourspar, which is the chief tion of some soft substance. But beyond these , veinstone. Calcite and gypsum are also found, low-lying hills of granite there are big outcrops and in some of the veins there is a vein of rock which to the experienced eye indicate . stone of quartz dispersed in sheets or "combs" stratified formations. They arc indeed strati- along the walls or In distinct sheets in the fled, for the bulk of the range southward and center. Manganese spar and barite are also as southeastward is composed of regular stratified, sociated in layers. The thickness or power of laminated, hard gneissic rock. I use the word these veins is usually from 2 to 3 feet, sometimes "gneisslc" in a very general and comprehensive from 8 to 12 feet, wide. There are veins also sense, for you can describe these Tocks with only a few inches in width. In general the veins much more accuracy if you localize them as are well filled with ore. This ore occurs in mica slates and hornblendic slates, with inter- sheets or bunches scattered through the vein polations of quartzite beds, especially in the . stone and commonly known among the miners upper part of the series, with green stains, sup- as ball metal. In one mine in the district a mass posed to be stains of copper and decomposition ' of nearly solid ore 8 feet thick was found, of copper ore, which they probably are, al- j At or near the water level, where the galenite though thcre are peculfarittes of color, and has decomposed, both carbonate and sulphate some yellow colors, which indicate to me the of lead arc found associated with a pale-green presence of some other mineral, possibly, tel- fluorite and an abundance of crystallized yellow lurium, which by its decomposition has given wnlfenite, another occurrence giving evidence these colors. The fact remains, however, that ; of the presence of molybdenum in galenite. the bullion from the upper part of the vein con- The rocks of the district are compact fine tains more copper than It now contains in the grained mica and clay slates standing nearly on lower levels of the mine. The workings which edge and traversed by numerous dikes or intru- have been carried on here hpve developed a condition of things which could not be foretold from an inspection of the outcrop. The vein or lode appears to be a chimney, not a contiuo ous ore body, nor a continuous vein with an ore body or chimney or chute upon it. As re marked the outcropping points indicate that there is no very great longitudinal extension of this ore body. The vein is remarkable first in this limited out crop; second, in its continuity in depth, its con tinued satisfactory richness, and the promise it gives of enrichment by further veins dipping" into it on the foot-wall sides. Some facts in regard to the product or yield: The ore paid from the surface. The product or ore extracted up to the time has Been about 80 , tons'per day, which is sent to the 20-stamp-mill, each stamp of which crushes about 4 tons in every twenty-four hours. The extraction is chiefly and largely by power drills. A force of 80 men is employed by this mine nud mill. The greater part of th labor underground and mining Is done by compressed air. The lode, I was told, was 6 to 15 feet wide. This large space permits the use of power drills to great advantage. In the material hoisted there are frntrments of the waii rocks, some of which arc I thrown out, but many piews pass through the J mill. They would prefer to reject most of this wall rock, but it would take more thne and ex pense than it does to mill it, and there is a chance of some of it containing gold. From these 80 tons of rock crushed daily the average product is perhaps 18,000 worth of gold per month. Some months they have produced as high as S90.000. In the region of the Fortuna mine the forma tions appear to be wholly of mica slate and hornblende slate, with some arenaceous layers like old micaceous sandstones and quartzites. The mine is surrounded by black hornblendic slates and mica slates, dipping southward and southwestward at an angle of about 45 degrees, and these slates are very evenly laminated, ridge after ridge. This is apparently a con-, tinuous body stretching to a distance of two or three miles, and showing a thickness at right angles to the stratification of no less than 6,000 or 8,000, or perhaps 10,000 feet, and there is no evidence whatever of plication. The stratifica tion is flat and as regular as the leaves of a book. Usually we detect more or less plication or folding in such a section, but there is no evi dence of any folding whatever in this series. There is, however, a great difference in the composition of the layers of these rocky ridges, now all turned black upon the surface a condi tion of coloring which seems to attend all the rock outcrops along the lower Colorado, and the origin of which, though discussed by Humboldt after noting similar blackening of the rocks along the Orinoco, has not yet been satisfactory explained. This general blackening of the sur face hides the changes of composition, which may be noted by careful and close inspection. In some places hornblendic slates are more developed than the mica slate, and at others the micaceous sohistose characters predominate and are accompanied by layers of quartzite in terleaved and three or four feet in tuickness, sometimes three or four inches, and some foliated quartz having little films of mica in it. These quartz beds are members of the series, but have been located as ledges and, it is claimed, are gold bearing. The quartz has little or no resemblence to vein quartz, and yet at several points in the outcrop there are stains of green color, apparently from the decomposi tion of ore like that which has given green stains to the croppings of the Fortuna. Several dike-like seams or veins of white al bite or soda feldspar cut directly across the bedding of the mica slate series. These f eldspa thic dikes do not appear to have any relation to the ore bearing vein or lode of the Fortuna. These dikes are extremely irregular and appear to have filled cross fractures or breaks of the regular strata. Coarse granite was noted at the northern point of the Gila range, along the railroad, but no evidences were found of the existence of 1 stratified Paleozoic or secondary rocks. The mica slates series referred to Is .the Huronian or Archaean. CASTLE DOME DISTBICT. The veins of the Castle Dome district may be said to have been rediscovered In 1863, for it was 1 evident that they had been anciently worked, as already stated In the historical introduction. I The metal had been taken out from many of the : veins by the ancient miners down to a depth of ' from 6 to 15 feet and in continuous lines of ' trenches, in some places for 50 to 100 feet or more. These old workings were found to be ' safe guides to good metal bearing ground a ; short distance deeper. Well worn trails leading i off from tlipsft nits to thft hnnlrs of thft Gila SQme lg miles distanti and the rulns thcre o; some ruae smelting fUrnaces, indicate that the orps wcre carried to the Gila probaalv on the backs of and that they were smeltcd there whether by the Aztecs or the earlv.arrivlng Spanish explorer Is not known, Sia thQ&c m,neg have bcen TVOrked almost contimiously, and aro now yielding silver-lead ore of most excellent quality, which is shipped The elaimswere worked by the pr0spcclors without capital until October, 187() Up t0 January ,t 189o there had not been an investment of over $300 in building or per manent improvements. The climate is such that men can work the year round without no more protection than is afforded by brush, huts or tents. The veins crop out on a rolling plain or mesa at the base of the Castle Dome range, a very nigged and picturesque group of mountains ! trending northwest and southeast, rising near , the center to the remarkable dome-shaped sum-1 mit with precipitous sides, looking like a huge '. Tound castle or building with a dome. It is a j noted landmark, being visible from a great dis- j ' tance in all directions. It was originally called "Capitol Dome" by the officers at Fort Yuma in i sive masses of a chocolate-colored porphyry. Still Moie Counterfeiting. The Secret Service has unearthed an other band of counterfeiters and secured a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the aver age person would never suspect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected- by counterfeiters for imitation, notably the celebrated Hos teler's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indi gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner vousnes8 and general- debility. The Bitters sets things ncht in the stomach. and when the stomach is in good order it manea goou dioou ana plenty Ol it.

Her Great Soil ResourcesSplendid -Fine Climate. Agriculture One of the Important Industries of Arizona. No Fertilization of the Soil Neces sarySilt Deposited by Irri gation Renders the Soil Rich in the Element of Fertility. The Climate Conditions Favorable to a Great Variety of flcrketable Produce. The following report from the direc tor of the experint station, is published as giving a fair resume of the conclu sions which have heen reached in re gard to agriculture in this territory: One of the most encouraging signs of the times in connections with Arizona is the growth of her agricultural interests. These interests, by creating a settled population and certain sources of wealth, insure the Territory, as a whole, against those excessive fluctuations in popula tion and finance which are so often observed in purely mining communities. Although but a small percentage of the total area of Arizona is under cultivation, yet when the actual amount and productiveness of these lands is considered, the place of agriculture among the Industries of the Territory is very important. Arizona has and always will have land in excess of the water supply available for irrigation, without which agriculture can. excepting in rare instances, hardly be considered. Out of about 72,800,000 acres in the Territory only 5,700,000 acres are privately owned, of which about 450,000 acres are under irrigation ditch. For the total amount of land under ditch, thcre is not sufficient water in all Instances to insure crops; but In time thcre can be little doubt that the storage and development of water will lead to the successful irrigation of much more than the area under ditch. The future of agriculture in Arizona is, with out question, more than usually good, and for the reason that the conditions of soil, irrigation, and climate combine to produce an uncommon variety and amount of marketable produce. The soil of Arizona, as is usual with the soils of arid regions, are rich in the elements of fertili ty, requiring only the ever-needful water, skill, and industry in their management to secure abundant returns. The fertility of cultivated soils In irrigated regions is further assured by the deposite of silt brought upon the land with irrigation water. The problems of fertilization, which become so serious in humid sections, are therefore of much less importance here and not to.be so carefully reckoned within connection with the future of our agriculture. The most marked advantage in connection with agriculture and horticulture, especially in southern Arizona, is the climate. From January to June the temperature resembles that of spring and early summer in the latitude of Ken tucky. From June to September the climate is of subtropical fervor, while from September to November there is a second mild season of tem perate weather. The winter season, from Nov ember to January, though subject to sharp frosts in southern Arizona, is not seriously or even uncomfortably cold. Owing to this combination of seasons a re markable variety of crops may be found in the same locality at different times of the year. Strawberries, which flourish in Greenland, may be found on the same land with dates and palms from Sahara. Alfalfa, the great forage of the arid West, flourishes alongside with wheat, corn, and sorghum, respectively characteristic of Minnesota, Illinois, and Kansas. Oranges, lemons, and olives from California may be found in the same neighoorhood with peanuts and sweet potatoes from Virginia. In brief, many of the leading crops of both temperate and sub tropical countries, which are not affected by a too arid atmosphere or by the frosts of winter, flourish in southern Arizona. In northern Ari zona, where the temperatures more resemble those of northern Illinois, many of the more dis tinctively temperate-region crops flourish, Jsuch as potatoes, apples, and various small fruits. When, with this diversity of products is coupled a healthful, and for the most of the year agreeable, climate, it will be seen that agricul tural in Arizona possesses distinct advantages.

Here is the storv "During the storming of San' Juan hill, said Governor Roose velt, while remarking on the ex treme heat as he journeyed through Kansas,. "I was request ed by one of my men to betake myself to the very hottest region, but when it comes a hot day I always congratulate myself that I didn't go. ,y There was a young fellow from Arizona, Bugby by name, who was shot straight across the top" of the head. I happened to over take him, and saw the ivay the blood was streaming down his face that he wasjtn-no condition" to stay in the front. Riding up by his side I tapped him on the? arm and said, 'you go to" ffrer rear.' "Well, I'll never forget the face that fellow turned toward me. It was one mass of blood, and this added horrible fierceness to the look he gave me. " 'You go to hell, 'he said as- he struck out on a run up the hill.
