ONCE POOR MINING
PROSPECTOR NOW RICH
Clear Lake, Ariz., Sept. 6. T. Ollie
Phillips was a poor mining prospector
less than a year ago. Recently he
was paid $200,000 for an undeveloped
gold and silver claim situated in this
new camp.
It was by chance that Mr. Phillips
discovered the vein which has brought
him a fortune. He was making a trip
through this section less than twelve
months ago and went to the famous
Apache liox Canyon. One day Mr.
Phillips aimlessly walked through the
picturesque canyon.
His trained eye caught sight of
gold' in a boulder that was lying in
the bottom of the gorge. He exam
ined other bjulders and found gold
in all of them. He then began a sys
tematic search for the vein from
which the boulders had come. He
succeeded in finding it upon the wall
of the canyon and located a number
of claims, covering the ground where
the mineral existed, further research
proved the richness of the find, and
the property is believed to be des
tined to become a very large produc
er of gold and silver.
