Big Gold Strike in Arisona.

A sensational gold discovery has been made a few miles from Tombstone, Arlz., by three prospectors, resulting in a stampede from various camps of southern Arizona. Special advices say all the mineral ground within a radius of a mile of the discovery has been located and several shafts have been sunk. The value of the rock has not been definitely ascertained, but without doubt specimens of the rock show gold at the proportion of $15,000 to the ton, and considerable quartz has been removed from a ledge carrying between $20,000 and $30,000 to the ton.
