The following article is extracted

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:
KIXQ OP ARIZONA.
The gold-bearing property, bnotTii for a time as
the Oleason, has been transferred to the King
of Arizona i-iiaing and Milling Company, a cor
poration organized Tinder the Ietts of the Terri
tory of Arizonc, vith a capitalization of 5,000,000
shares of a par value of 81 each. This company
ov.-us four full claims the Homestake, the Xing
of Arizona, the Iast Hope, and the Macho
Baeno. This district lies about thirty Ave
miles due cast of thfi Castle Dome Land
ing, on the Colorado River- It is north of
the Gila Elver and about 40 miles from Mohawk
Summit, on the Southern Pacific Railroad.
This is the nearest station on the railway.
There are several other locations besides
those conveyed to the King of Arizona.
The Homestakc location covers the chief
workings up to this date. There is on this
claim a strong vein cf 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 3 inches wide, which averages about
S2.S0O per ton in value. Next below this there
is a middle layer or body of quartz about 20
inches thick, which will average about SCO to
?100 per ton in value. The remainder of the
vein, so far as It is exposed by the shaft, aver
ages about 224 per ton. Test holes have been
drilled 3 feet deep into the foot wail, 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 -10 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 vela 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 shaft to a second opening; known nsj'The
King of Arizona Shaft." This shaft is about 50
feet deep, and by means of drill holes the vein
is shown to be Jfect in width and has an ever
age value of S10 per ton. At a point 300 feet cast
of the Homestake shaft a tunnel has been made
which crosscuts the vein 1C0 feet below the sur
face. At this point the hanging wall vein is 18
inches wide and has an average value of 350 per
ton. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet of
vr'n matter running about 83 pei ton, thence
through 7 feet of ore carrying S2S per ton to the
foot wall. The total distance from hanging wall
to foot wail along this tunnel is 40 feet. A drift
has ben ran along the foot wall to the Homc
etakc shaft at a distance of 303 feet, and the
average value of the ore exposed 15 $14 per ton,
"v UL FORTTJXA iTINS.
In the early days of gold discovery of Califor
nia, 1848, when the news reached the geld miners
of Sonora, there was a general exodus of the
abie-bodicd 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 tcok the old
rocd. which was known as the "camino real,"'
from Hstancia and Altar northwestward, nearly
parallel to the gulf, following the mountain
ridge known as the Giia range, just north of our
present boundary. The road led to Yuma, and
in passing the Gila range they went within a
few feet or yards of a very modest outcrop of
quartz which no one seemed to consider of suf
ficient value to merit any attention. That hum
ble and Insignificant quartz outcrop is today the
outcrop of the great Fortuna mine.
-I; is situated on the westward ilcp" and nearly
at the base of the range of mountains called on
some of the old maps the Gila range. This
trrnds northwesterly and reaches nearly to the
Gi'a river at the point now known as Blciodcll.
The railway in its course to Yuma passes
around the northwest point of this range.
Where the rocks are exposed at that point they
are mostly of homogeneous granite, of gray
color and weathered out at the surfaces, which,
however, are much rittcd as if by decomposi
tion of some soft substance. But beyond these
Ior-lying hills of granite there arc big outcrops
cf rock which to the experienced eye indicate
stratified formations. They are indeed strati
firci, for the bulk o the range southward and
southeastward is composed of regular stratified,
laminated, hard gneissic rock. I use the word
"jjasls&ic" in a very general and comprehensive
srnse, for you can describe these rocks with
much more accuracy if you localize them as
mica slates and hornblendic slates, with inter
polations of quartziic beds, especially in the
uppr part of the series, with green stains, sup
posed to be stains of copper and decomposition
of copper or', which they probably arc, al
though there are peculiarities of color, and
so yellow colors, which indicate to me the
presence of some other mineral, possibly, tel
lurium, which by its decomposition has given
tis? colors. The fact remains, however, that
th bullion from the upper part of the vein cos
tal is more copper than it now contains ia the
lor. or levels of the mine. The workings which
bnve been carried on here have developed a
condition of things which could not bo foretold
fram an inspection of the outcrop. Ihs voin.

ous ore body, nor & continuous vein with an ore 1
bouy or chimney or chute upon it. As rc-ma-ked
the outcropping points indicate that
th -?o is no very great longitudinal extension of
tb-5 ore body.
The vein is remarkable first in this limited out
cmpr second, in its continuity in depth, its con-tia'n-d
satisfactory richnrss, and the promise it
giv- of enrichment by further veins dipping
Intv it on the foot-wall sides.

ore extracttrd up to the time has been about 80
tons i&r day. which is sut to tho 20-stamp mill,

ovry twenty-four hours. The extraction is
chiefly and largely by power drills. A force
of SO men is cmploy"d by this mine and mill.
Th-i greater part of tabor underground and
raining is done by compressed air.' The lode, I
was told, was 6 to 15 feet wide-. This largf
spuce permits the use of power drills to great
ad vantage. In the material hoisted there are
fragments of the wall rocks, some of which are
thrown out. but many pieces pas through the

chance of some of it containing gold. From

nngle3 to the stnitidcaiioa of no less than 6,000
or 8,003, cr 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 dLIcrenco in the
composition of the layera cf 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
rftcr noting similnr 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 schistose characters predominate
and are accompanied by layers of quartzlte in
terleaved and three or four feet in tqlckness,
sometimes three or four inches, and some
foliated quartz ha. ing 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 r?semblence to vein quartz, and yet
at several points in the outcrop there are stains
ci 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 Iiave 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
stratified Paleozoic or secondary rocks. The
mica slates series referred to is the Huronian
or Archaean.
CASTLE DOME DISTRICT.
The veins of the Castle Dome district may be
said to have been rediscovered in 18G3, for it was
evident that they had been anciently worked, as
already stated in the historical introduction.
The metal had been taken out from many of the
veins by the ancient miners down to a depth of
'from 0 to 15 feet and in continuous lines of
trenches, in seme 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
off from these pits to the banks of the Gila
river, some 18 miles distant, and the ruins
there of some rude smelting furnaces, indicate
that the ores were carried to the Gila, probaaly
on the backs of Indians, and that they were
smelted there, whether by the Aztecs or the
early-arriving Spanish explorer is not known.
Since 1863 these mines have been worked almost
continuously, and are now yielding silver-lead
ore of most excellent quality, which is shipped
to San Francisco. The claims were worked by
the prospectors without capital until October,
1870. Up to January 1, 1892, there had not been
an investment of over 5300 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
rugged and picturesque group of mountains
trending northwest and southeast, rising near
the center to the remarkable dome-shaped sum
mit with precipitous sides, looking like a huge
round castle or-bullding with a dome. It is a
noted landmark, being visible from a great dis
tance in all directions. It was originally called
"Capitol Dome" by the officers at Fort Yuma in
1853, from the fancied resemblence to the dome
of the capitol at Washington. This mountain
range, being but sparingly watered, has never
been convenient to prospect and very little is
yet known of its structure or mineral value.
The mines are usually reached from Yuma by
driving to Gila City and thence to the mine,
from 16 to 18 miles east and inland from the
river. The claims are numerous. Some
have been patented and worked to a depth
of 300 feet or more. The veins are re
markably regular and well formed. The
ore is galena, carrying about 30 ounces of
silver to each ton. The veins trend in a
general northwest and southeast course and
are nearly vertical. The outcrops are In
dicated by outlying masses and weather
worn crystals of flourspar. which is the chief
veinstone. Galcite and gypsum arc also found,
and in some of the veins there is a vein
stone of quartz dispersed in sheets or "combs"
along the walls or in distinct sheets in the
center. Manganese spar and barite are also as
sociated in layers. The thickness or power of
these veins is usually from 2 to 3 feet, sometimes
from 8 to 12 feet, wide. There are veins also
only a few inches in width. In general the veins
are well filled with ore. This ore occurs in
sheets or bunches scattered through the vein
stone and commonly known among the miners
as ball metal. In one mine in the district a mass
of nearly solid ore 8 feet thick was found.
At or near the water level, where the galenite
has decomposed, both carbonate and sulphate
of lead are found associated with a pale-green
fluoritc and an abundance of crystallized yellow
wulfcnite, another occurrence giving evidence
of the presence of molybdenum in galenite.
The rocks of the district are compact fine
grained mica and clay slates standing nearly on
edge and traversed by numerous dikes or intru
sive masses of a chocolate-colored porphyry.
THE GILA VALLEY.
The Gila valley extends from the Gila canyon
near the junction of the San Pedro river, west
erly to the east bank of the Colorado, a distance
of slightly exceeding 250 miles. That portion of
it situated in the county of Yuma, known as the
Lower Gila valley, is about 100 miles long and
from 2 to 10 miles wide, all of which is suscept
ible of profitable cultivation. !The river
from which it takes its name cuts the
valley in two. Its watershed extends some 30
miles north and upward of 50 miles south of its
channel, tlic land irom either extreme inclining
more or less rabidly toward the btream. The
Giii traverses u marvelously fertile country,
very great in extent, and tpiendidly adapted to
the cvltivaticn of nearly all the products of the
temperate and semi- tropic zones, besides many
of the fruits common in the tropics. Nor is
this longer a matter of idle speculation, for
flourishing ranches in various portions of the
valley, drawing water from several important
canals, amply demonstrate the magnificent
results that will ensue should the water supply
be rendered permanent, equable and adequate
through appropriate storage systems.
This consists of a broad expaase of tillable
valley land, sometimes overflowed by the river,
which is at times mighty uncertain, and a steep
range of volcanic hill, coming close to the high
ways, for a dozen miles or .so, hot. heavy, sandy.
It is hardly fair to say sandy as it is really a
friable alluvial soil of grayish hue and loose
texture. Several ranches are passed, showing,
that the Gila bottom is cultivated. With irri
gation every square mile of the Gila valley is
capable of producing prolific crops of grain and
semi-tropical fruus, us well as cottou and sugar
in great ubuudauve. The river is able to fur
nish all the water needed and a good deal more.
It would take no great skill in engineering and
not a very large sum of money either to con
struct reservoirs or lakes in which to receive
and store the overflow., There are natural
basins or dry lakes into which by simple
means the water could be conveyed.
The lands situated in and ubout the Gila val
ley may conveniently be classified as follows:
First", the bottom or overflow lands; 2, slightly
higher valleys, lands subj ct tj lo overflow; 3.
mesas or sloping uplands; 4
atively level plain:; 5, mom
high but conipar-
mountams.
spring into maturity with startling rapidity,
rarely failing to yield bountifully without addi
tional irrigation. The custom is occasionally
followed by resident farmers to this day, with
excellent results, although but a single crop can
be harvested. These bottoms form 25 per cent
of the valley lands, and may without difficulty
be secured from further Invasion by a system of
dikes and levees, if deemed necessary and desir
able. The soil throughout the valley is a rich
brownish yellow sandy loam, generous, mellow,
porous, with a depth ranging from (J to 20 feet,
the whole resting upon underlying strata of
gravel und sand thai, readily carry from the
surface such excess cf water as might otherwise
prove Injurious co seeds and growing p;a t .
Concerning the geological formation of these
lands, the -following from the report of the
citizens' executive committee is sufficiently
comprehensive :
There is unmistakable geologic evidence that
all this land during some prehistoric period was
covered with water, constituting in fact an
euormous lake, the surfaces rising in places to
upper portion of the outskirting mesas. The soil
lying at the bottom was made by the washing
and erosion of the surrounding mountains. The
soda from the decomposed vegetation, the mag
nesia and lime from the magnesium-lime forma
tions, and the potash from the decomposing
granite rocks were carried with unceasing re
gularity year by year, until deposited in the
bottom. Eventually upon the disappearance of
the lake, the rich fertile alluvium, than which
there is none better, was left to reward the
efforts of the modem husbandmen. But nature,
not yet satisfied with her handiwork, directed
the accumulation of the detritus washed from
the distant mountainous region. As a result,
the soil is extremely rich in the elements best
adapted to thorough fertilization, for it contains
a certain amount of organic matter which, on
decomposing, further enhances its agricultural
value. By constant overflow and change of
channel the deposits are evenly distributed over
considerable areas, the process continuing
through centuries. These soils are further en
riched by decomposed organic contributions,
including the sandstones, marls, limestones,
shales, etc. Besides the ingredients mentioned,
a chemical analysis shows that iron, ammonia,
and phosphoric acid enter into its composition
in the proportions best adapted to add to Its
productive qualities. The extremes of tempera
ture are somewhat greater than on the high
lands, but there is also more moisture.
The bottom lands arc so easily cultivated
that it is not uncommon, after clearing the sur
face from the brash and stubble, to pass over
the ground with an ordinary cultivator a single
time, afterwards sowing to grain and grass. In
three or four months large crops are harvested,
the soil meanwhile being entirely innocent of
the plow. All plants seem to grow rapidly,
maturing remarkably early. Indications of an
cient ditches are apparent throughout the val
ley, showing plainly the existence of irrigation
worlcs by the ancient Aztecs. Curiously enough,
in certain instances, the .identical routes of
these long extinct people have been followed for
codsideratable distances by their modern suc
cessors." THE VALLEYS CF THE COLORADO.
"Several miles above Yuma, in the neighbor
hood of Explorer's Pass, near the Purple Hills,
the great Colorado River Valley proper com
mences. From this point northerly the river is
shut in by cliffs which, with intervening moun
tain systems, absolutely preclude the possibility
of canal construction. Passing southward, the
cliffs are seen to gradually disappear until they
become merged in the low bottom lands. The
bottom meanwhile widens with every mile until
the Gulf of California is reached. There are
large quantities of land which could be made
productive were irrigation practicable. These
are general fertile bottoms inclining toward the
river and covered in spots with dense under
growth and eottonwood and mesquite trees.
Considerable of the valley is raised above the
river as much as 100 feet, and to this height
water must bo brought, as the bottoms are dur
ing certain months completely overflowed by
the waters of the swollen streams. The, soil is
extraordinarily rich and particularly adapted
to the cultivation of sugar, rice, and all the tex
tile plants, in addition to an extended list of
tropical, semitropical, and temperate products.
according to a careful chemical analysis, the
fertilizing mud carried by the Colorado closely
resembles that of the waters of the Nile, while
its volume at low water has been estimated by
competent authority as sufficient to easily irri
gate more than 1,750,000 acres."
The lands of the lower Colorado River Valley
have not boen developed very extensively, owing
to the litigation over what is known as the
tVlgodones land grant, which has been in the
courts for the last decade. The vexed question
has lately been settled by the U. S. Supreme
Court in favor of the government.
ARIZONA.
Her Great Resoarces-Solendid
Soil-Fine Climate.
Agriculture One of the Important
Industries of Arizona.
No Fertilization of the Soil Neces
sary Siit Deposited by Irri
gation Renders the Soil
Rich in the Element
of Fertility.
The Climate Conditions Favorable to a Great
Variety of flarkctable 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, there is not sufficient water
in all instances to insure crops; but in time
there 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 with in 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 re:crubles that of
spring and early summer in the latitude of Ken
tucky. From Juno to-September the climate is
of subtropical fervor, while from. September to
November tlu-ro ii r, 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 ho
same locality at different times of the year.
Strawberries, which flourish in Greenland, may
be found on the same laud 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. Orange3,
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 arc 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, such
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.
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
tetter'B Stomach Bitters, which has
many imitators but no equals for indi
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, ner
vousness and general debility. The
Bitters sets things right in the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good order
it makea good blood and plenty of it.
In this manner the Bitters get at the
seat ot strength and vitality, and restore
vigor to the weak and debilitated. Bo
