Hidden in (he fastness of the
Santa Catalina Mountains of sou
thern Arizona for more than two
centuries, the famous Escalante
mine, more popularly known as the
mine with the iron door, is be
lieved to have been relocated. The
*■ great find, if Such it is, has been
confirmed by two brothers. Char
les and Harry McKee, and Paul E.
i’erkinson. all of Phoenix. It was
made recently, according to an
Associated Press report, and cli
maxed a search for several years
which led thru dusty and faded
old documents in Old Mexico to
the rugged wilderness surrounding
the little town of Oracle. Ariz.
Some time ago an old indian
pointed out to Harry McKee two
dumps of muck off to one side
, *t>f an Apache trail three miles
f south of Oracle. Examination of
file dumps and the ridge separat
ing them convinced McKee he was
near an abandoned mine, prob
ably the famous Escalante. But no
entrance to the mine could be
9 found.
The prospectors were walking
along the Indian trail again on
the long search. At the head of
the Canyon Del Oro. the “canyon
of gold", they paused- The canyon
lies on the opposite side of the
ridge from the dumps of muck.
A short distance down the can
« . on, virtually hidden by the dense
growth of brush, they espied two
holes, investigation revealed they
were the collar-: of vertical shafts.
Farther down the canyon they
found a large pile of muck against
the hillside and when this was
partly cleared away a tunnel lead
ing into the mountain was reveal
ed. There their progress was stop
ped by a caved in slie.fr.
With compasses they projected
the course of t: e tunnel thru the

j Chesterfields are
| Milder
\
WHEN you ask a Chesterfield
smoker why that’s his brand — he
generally comes right out flat-footed and
says . . .“It’s because They*re Milder/”
So we’re going to keep on doing
everything we know how to keep them
that way.
That’s why we look for and buy the
mildest and ripest tobaccos we can get.
That’s why we age them in our ware
houses till they’re mellow and sweet.
We believe that even the shredding
of the tobacco... and the quality of the
paper it’s rolled in, have a lot to do
with the even-drawing, mild smoke that
people enjoy in Chesterfields.
You can bank on this. ..every method
known to science is used to make Chest
erfield a milder, better-tasting cigarette
that satisfies.
