Her Rich Mines-The La Fotuna and King of Arizona Great Alineral Wealth Yet Un developed Castle Dome Lead ?lines. The County Lies Directly in the lain Gold Belt that Begins in Alaska and Ends in Mexico. The following article is extracted from Governor Murphy's annual report to the Secretary cf 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 propcrty.known for a time as the Gleason, has been transferred to the King f Arizona Mining and Milling Company, u 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 Homestake. the King of Arizona, the Last Hope, and the Mucho Buono. This district lies about thirty Jive mLcs due cast of thd Castle Dome Land ing, on the Colorado River. It is north of the Gila River aud 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 convoyed to the King or Arizona. The Homestake location covers the chief workings up to this date. There is on this claim a strong v-in of gold-bearing quartz. This lode or vein has three well-marked divisions or lavers. On the hanging wall there is a soft layer frbm 1 to 3li inches wide, which averages about j:2,800 per ton in value. NgxI below this there is a middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inehx.es thick, which will average about S'JOto $100 er ton in value. The remainder of the vciu, so rar as it is exposed by the shart, aver ages about m 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 reet deep aud 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 or backs on the lode above the drirts is greater than at the shart. At a point about 30 reet west or the shart and on a level with the collar or the shart the vein has been crosssut rrom wall to wall, showing it IS Icet wide at that point. The ore in the crosscut is or about the same grade as that in the shart. The croppings of the vein may be rollowed for some TOO feet of the Home stake shaft 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 $10 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 or S50 per ton. The tunnel then passes through 30 reet or vein matter running about $3 pei ton, thence through 7 reet or ore carrying $28 per ton to the root wall. The total distance rrom hanging wall to Toot wall along this tunnel is 40 reet. A drirt has been run along the foot wall to the Home stake shart at a tllstance or 300 reet. and the average value of the ore exposed is 514 per ton. LA rORTUNA MINE. In the early days of gold discovery of Califor nia. 184S, when the news reached the gold miners of Sonora. there 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," rrom Estancia and Altar northwestward, nearly parallel to the gulf, following the mountain ridge known as the Gila 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 or quartz which no one seemed to consider or suf- ticicnt value to merit any attention, i hat hum ble and insignificant quartz outcrop is today the outcrop ot uic great r'ortuna mine. It Is situated on the westward slope and nearly at the base or the range or mountains called on some or the old maps the Gila range. This trends northwesterly and reaches nearly to the Gila river at the point now known as Blaisdell. The railway in its course to Yuma passes around the northwest point or this range. Where the rocks are exposed at that point they arc mostly of homogeneous granite, of gray color and weathered out at the surfaces, which, however, are much pitted as if by decomposi tion of some soft substance. But beyond these low-lying hills of granite there arc big outcrops of rock which to the experienced eye indicate stratified formations. They are indeed strati fied, for the bulk of the range southward and : southeastward is composed of regular stratified. I laminated, hard gueissic rock. I use the word I "gneissic ' in a very general and comprehensive sense, ror you can describe these rocks with much more accuracy if you localize them as mica slates and hornblcndie slates, with inter polations of quartzite bods, especially in the upper part of the series, with green stains, sup posed to be stains of copper and decomposition of copper ore, which they probably are, al though there ure peculiarities of color, and some yellow colors, which indicate to me the presence of some other mineral, possibly, tel lurium, which by its decomposition has "given these colors. The ract remains, however, that the bullion rrom the upper part or the vein con tains more copper than it now contains in .he lower levels or the mine. The workings wh.ch have been carried on here have developed a condition of things which could not be roretold rrom an inspection or the outcrop. The vein or lode appears to be a chimney, not a contino- ous ore Douy, 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 or this ore body. The vein is remarkable first in this limited out crop; second, in its continuity in depth, its con tinued satisfactory rich cess, and the promise i gives of enrichment by further veins dipping nto it on tne loot-wau sides. Some facts in regard to the product or vield: The ore paid from the surface. The product or ore extracted up to the time has been about B0 tons per day, which Is sent to the 20-stamp mill. each stamp or which crushes about 1 tons in ev.cry twenty-four hours. The extraction is chiefly and largely by power drills. A force of F0 men Is employed by this mine and mill. The greater part of the labor underground and mining is done by compressed air. The lode, I was told, was C to 15 feet wide. This large space permits the use of power drills to great advantage, in tne material hoisted there are rragments or the wall rocks, some or which are thrown out, but many pieces pass through the mill. They would prefer to reject most of this wall rock, but It would take more time aud ex pense than it does to mill it, and there is a chance or some or it containing gold. From these 80 tons or rock crushed daily the average product is perhaps $-18,000 worth of gold per month. Some months they have produced as high as 590,000. In the region of the Fortuna mine the forma tions appear to be wholly of mica slate and hornblende slate, with some arenaceous layers lkc. old micaceous sandstones and quartzites. The mine is surrounded by black hornblcndie slates and mica slates, dipping southward and southwestward at an angle or about 45 degrees, and these slates are very evenly laminated, ridge after ridge.

It is with pleasure that I give my hearty endorsement to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the most suc cessful remedy that I know of for the weakened condition of the digestive organs which excessive heat or overwork some times brings, causing indigestion, sick headache, a disagreea ble or bitter taste in the mouth, sleepless nights and a com plication of unnatural conditions, making one feel sick all over. Your remedy is scientifically prepared and well calcu lated to renovate the entire system, cleansing and vitalizing the blood and assisting the stomach to perfect assimilation of the food, which will soon restore health and harmony. bmcerely Judge of nth District, Duval County, Florida. The "Golden Medical Discovery" restores the long lost appetite ; it strengthens the weak stomach and corrects the impaired digestion ; it promotes the flow of digestive juices and facilitates the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food into the blood. When the blood is pure and rich, old inert tissues are torn down, earned off and excreted, and new, healthy muscular tissues replace them. In this way it puts on healthy flesh up to the normal weight and fortifies one against all disease-breeding germs.

" I feel it my duty to write you as I have received so much benefit from the use of your medicines," says Mrs. E. Sando, of Elon, Iowa. "I was troubled with torpid liver, indigestion, and nervous prostra tion, for about eighteeen months and lost strength so that I was unable to do any work. Consulted several doctors but without receiving help. They advised me to have an operation for gall stone, which I thought would be the very last step I wonld sat down and wrote to you for advice, some five or six months ago, and have since been taking your ' Golden Medical Discovery.' Can now say that I am well and able to do all my work, besides doinjr lots of weaving. In the last two months I have woven about four hundred yards of carpet and feel now that I will keep on with it as I like the weaving business so well. I took only eight bottles of the ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and some of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. "I will be glad if I can say anything to those who are suffering as I did." "I was taken sick nine years ago with fever." writes Mr. M. M. "Wardwell, of Liuwood, Leaven worth Co., Kans. "Had the doctor and he broke up the fever all right, but I took diarrhea right away ; he couldn't cure it and it became chronic, and i then he gave up the case. I got so weak with it and ! had piles so badly I couldn't lie down, nor hardly sit up. Was that way two or tnree montns ; inougnt x would 'never be well again,' but picked up one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum Books one day and saw vour description of catarrh of the stomach. I thought it hit my case. We had a bottle of Dr. ! Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the house that ' was got for mother. You recommend it for catarrh I of the stomach, so I began taking it. The one bot : tie nearly cured me. I got two bottles next time and took one and one-half and was well. I haven't been bothered with diarrhea since."
