BIRD TAILINGS
Volume 34-1 A Monthly Newsletter Published by the RoadRunner Prospectors’ Club January 2020 President’s Corner
Happy New Year. I hope everyone was safe over the holidays. Was Santa good to you? Did you get that new metal detector, dry washer, or dredge? No? Me neither. But all my family and I have pretty good health, so there are no complaints from me.
If you didn’t make it to the Christmas Lunch you missed out on good food, prizes, and good company. Lots of gold was given away along with the dry washer that the club has been raffling off. Check out this newsletter, our website, and Facebook page for pictures of the winners. Thank you, Chuck and Sheryal, for taking the lead on this and thanks to all the volunteers who worked hard and contributed gifts to make this another great luncheon. One reason I enjoy being a member of this club is seeing how generous my fellow members are. The Board approved a donation of $100 to the homeless veterans. We presented the check from the Roadrunners on behalf of Charlene Wilson, their representative. Seeing this, the hat was passed and members raised another $200 for the cause. What a great club! Thanks to all of you.
The club has had a busy year. The Board has worked hard to bring the members some great outings and other events. We introduced a night time dig this year that was a great hit with the members who attended. We are planning another one this year. I hope to also have another equipment demonstration outing this year. Stay tuned for a lot of events.
I want to thank Chuck and Sheryal Gentles, George Knecht, and Bill Hunt for being on the Board these past few years. It has been a pleasure working with them. They assured me they will still be around to help when needed. That’s just the way they are. I will miss having them on the Board but look forward to working with the existing Board members Lonny, Tom, Julie, Dusty, Mike, and our new Board members, Ray Bostwick, Les Love, Terry Blood, and new Treasurer Pam Hasey.
Good news! We finally got all the legal issues out of the way and members can start using the Golden Nickel claim near Rye. This claim is in the Tonto National Forest so please be good stewards of the land. The map, information page, and the notice of intent (NOI) will be in this month's Bird Tailings. The claim was named for Bill Nickel, a past Board member and secretary for the club. Bill passed on a couple of years ago. Besides being a Board member and officer, he also ran the annual coin hunts along with his wife, Carol.
We also have a new NOI for the Sando claims on map 12. We plan on having a dig in October on this claim.
Thank you for giving me the honor of leading the Roadrunner Prospectors’ Club this past year. I look for- ward to a new year and some new challenges. God bless everyone. I hope the new year is a prosperous one for you.

Gold and Mount Ord, Part 2 By Jim Christensen
The Mazatazl Mountain range runs from 4 Peaks in the south up to Payson in the north. About halfway between 4 Peaks and Payson is Mount Ord, which sits next to Highway 87. Mount Ord has a long history of both lost gold mines and real gold mines. The lost mines stories revolve around prospectors finding a quartz outcrop on Mount Ord heavily laced with gold only to be killed by Apaches on the way out of the mountains. When the remains of the prospectors were found, only the gold ore remained as silent testimony to their suc- cess. However, there are gold mines on Mount Ord which did have high grade gold ore that fit the descriptions of the lost mine stories. Primary of these is the Little Daisy, supposedly lo- cated in 1865, which fits into the time frame of the existence of nearby Camp Reno. As per Department of Mines documentation, the original glory hole pocket of this mine had gold ore that ran $10,000 to the ton, which at the old price of gold at $20.00 per ounce is 500 ounces of gold per ton of ore and that would be equal to $750,000.00 per ton at today’s price. This bonanza ore fits nicely with the description of the gold ore recovered from the unfortunate prospectors in the lost mine stories. Once the glory hole pocket at the Little Daisy was cleaned out, the remaining adjacent surface ore ran from $2000.00 to $2500.00 per ton ($187,500.00 per ton at today’s price), still bonanza material. In addition to this ore which was located at what would become the main mine shaft, there were several other scat- tered rich locations on the Little Daisy claims, one of which still had the remains of an ar- rastre in place when we visited it in 2003. In 1980, according to the Department of Mines records, the dump material from the vicinity of the arrastre was being processed and it ran 90 ounces to the ton. This high grade 90 ounce ore was discarded by the original arrastre operators as not containing enough gold to justify processing, indicating that there was more than one bonanza glory hole waiting to be found in the same area. Just to make things easy for the original prospectors, the Little Daisy deposits wouldn’t have been difficult to find as they were located on the lower slopes of Mount Ord. No need to climb steep grades or cross endless deserts, here was an area of rich gold deposits await- ing them in easily accessed canyons. Now, the only part of the Little Daisy mine that doesn’t fit the description of the lost mine stories is that it’s located on the south side of Mount Ord, while the lost mine stories put the gold ledges on the north side of the mountain. Maybe there’s still a bonanza gold ledge waiting to the found on the north slopes of Mount Ord! Note: The road into the area of the Little Daisy on the south side of Mount Ord has been locked and gated off by the Forest Service for 10 years. A forest fire burned the entire area which was then hit by massive flash flooding which destroyed the entrance road that ran parallel for some distance along a large wash.

During early Bradshaw history, there is the story of two French miners who worked a creek near Ship Rock for gold and silver. Apache Indian activity was very ac- tive in this area as it was near the still undiscovered secret hot springs that we now call Castle Hot Springs. These miners happened to find a great amount of gold which they hid in a small cave along or near the creek. As with most, greed (gold fever) got the best of these two souls and they stayed longer than they should have. An Apache war party eventually found them and killed them both. The gold has never been recovered to this day and sits in a small cave somewhere along or near the creek. In remembrance of these two Frenchman, the creek was named French Creek. This is the one lost treas- ure I have spent time looking for, but only found Hohokam ruins instead. Contributed by Bill Hunt
Stockton Hill Road (County Hwy 20) is the route taken by thousands of travelers heading out of King- man for Grand Canyon West. The Road’s namesake hill, about 8 miles north of town, had a gold rush in the late 1800’s. At the time, Arizona did not have a facility for the mentally ill, or an “insane asylum”. So, Arizo- na’s mentally ill were sent to the institution in Stockton, CA. It is said that the prospectors heading for the hills acted so crazy, that they were headed for Stockton. Thus - Stockton Hill. In the late 1800’s, Stockton Hill Road was the route used to deliver the rich ore to the railroad in Kingman so it could be railed off for pro- cessing. Ruts from these wagons can still be seen at the historic site of White Cliffs Wagon Trail. Contributed by Bill Hunt
Thanks to all those who come out and help test potential claims!
