Statutes of the United States, and whether
the owners of tunnel are required to
stake off and survey each and every lode,
etc. have to advise you that Sec 1928
ccntemplates the running of q tunnel
for the discovery Of mines;" and the right
of possession of all veins or lodes within
three thousand feet from the face (cropen-
ing) of such tunnel, on tfe line thereof
not previously known to exist discQyered
in such tunnel to the same ertent as if discov,
cred from the surface" is granted to the
owner of such tunnel.
The line of such tunnel is held to be the
width thereof, and no more, and upon this
line only is PROSPECTING for blind lodes
prohibited while the tunnel is in progress,
Ths. words mot previously known to
exist refer to undiscovered veins or lodes
The proprietors OF the tunnel are requlr-
ed to give proper notice of their tunnel
location at the time they enter cover, by
erecting a substantial post, board or
monument at the face or point of COM
lnencement thereof, upon which should be
posted good and sufficient notice, giving
names of q. the tunnel proprietors; the
actual or proposed course of the tunnel;
the height and width thereof; the course

mencement to permanent, well known OBJ
iects in the vicinity by which to fix its
locus; and at the time of posting said
boundary lines of the tunnel by stakes or

the surface ground which overlies the
apex of the mine must be ascertained, and |
the claim then duly located as if discov-

protection stake ofi his claim; and this is
necessary on each lode discovered
The tunnel is a means of discovery.
When the lode is discovered tie tunnel

My ldSC l0tlor lelC me aC EllroIl'
berg. l will now proceed to take
r the reader a little further up the
Colorado river before starting fol
the interior.
0 Seven miles above Ehrenberg is
La Paz, or was, for this silent place
now contains but one inhabitant,
: unless the seven small children,
: including twins at the breast, may
be rated as such; if so, then there
are eight inhabitants, all told.
Besides, La Paz is not now on the
Colorado river as much as it was;
for, owing to change in the cur
rent of this peculiar stream, the
town Eand its eisht inhabitants)
lie high and dry about four miles
away. The next place on the
river is Parker, named after a
former officer on Gen. Grants
staff, and subsequently Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs. Between
Ehrenberg and Parker the river
is quite narrow and shallow; and
navigation is quite difficult and
tedious.
Aubrey is about 100 miles from
Ehrenberg by river, but good
deal less by land. This place at
present contains but three houses,
but it is the shipping point for
the McCrackin and Signal mines.
1t was named after Aubrey, the
traveller who, in 1858, made trip
from TETON Pass to Albuquerque,
leaving the Pass with eighteen
men-siX MeXicans and twelve
Americans. Aubrey bad a good
many Indian fights on his way
from TETON to Albuquerque. On
the 4th of August. 1853, he had a
fight with a band of Indians, get
ting wounded himself, slightly,
and losing two men wounded,
dick Williams and Peter Pru-
don,) and killing several of the
redskins. On the 14th of August |
Aubrey's party was again attack
ed by Indians, during which Au-
btey was wounded six times,
thirteen out of the eighteen were
wounded, and one (Adam Adair)
mortally, and t@enty-seven In
dians were killed, and at least |
fifty odd wounded. Subsequently
Aubrey was hit twice, and ar
rived at Albuquerque with eight
wounds.
The McCrackin mine is thirty
two miles from Aubrey, and up to
a few months ago was believed to
be one of the best silver mines in
Arizona. When L was in Mohave
County the McCrackin mill had
just ceased operations, and the re-
port was that the bottom of this
mine had been found, or that it
had ceased to yield FAY ore. The
same reports were in circulation
regarding the Signal mine, and a
great state of decentralization
seemed to exist in consequence.
It seemed too bad to see the
poor miners with their protested
checks paying $50, and even 500
for a bottle of champagne, and So
for cigars. The mill is in fine
condition and is a twenty-stalnp
one. Nearly 100000 worth CT
bullion has been taken out of this
mine. The signal mill has ten
stamps, and is thirty-six miles |
from Aubrey. When both mines |
and mills were IN successful ope-
raticn the camp was a pretty
lively one, and contained in al
nearly 1,4OO men. There are
quite number of ranches in this /
part of Mohave County, and cat '
tie and sheep do very well. The s
river valley is Vide, and will pro- t
duce corn wheat, barley and po-
tatoes. at Empire Flat there is {
a gold mine anda five stamp milK, I
owned by the McCrackin Com {

miles to Ell Dorado Gallon. Be-
tween Mohave and Ell Dorado can-
on lies Cottonwood Island, eight
miles IN length, and remarkably
beautiful and fertile. It vas the
intention of the Government,
some years ago, to put the Huala-
pals upon this island, but they
wouldn't stand any such "pent-
up Utica" At the month of Ell
Dorado cation there is fiVe-stamp
mill, and some of the richest ore
ir the Territory may be seen here.
This was the first mining district
organized in Arizona by Ameri-
cans, and was called Colorado"
It's located on the west bank of the
river, $50 miles from its mouth.
The district is 20 miles square,
and for a distance of nearly u
miles it runs through the center
of the great gorge known as the
Ell Dorado caHon. This was dis
in 1861 by a party of Cal
ifornians from Nevada County,
who had set out to explore the
then unknown regions in the
Of Death Valley. There
is a wonderful deposit of mineral
here for many miles around, and
it is very rich; but whether these
valuable layers of ore reach down
to great depths is more than L can
tell. Although Sylvester Mowry
introduced smelling works into
Southern Arizona as far back as
1852, and attempted to get an en-
CINE and crushing machinery

was abandoned on the desert, and

the Gulf. The Cocopahs are tai
and swarthy, and, as a general
thing, are willing to work.
Next come the Yumas. They
are tall and well-made; have long,
slender arms, but strong, muscu.
lar legs. They number in the
neighborhood Of a thousand, and
live on both sides of the river
from Yuma toCastle Dome. They
divide their time between work
and play, and are generally fond
of the latter. Their style of
dress, like the Cocopahs and Mo-
haves, is extremely neglige-the
men only wear the breech-cloth,
and the women not much more.
They have been very friendly for
many years.
The Mohaves roam along the
river on both sides from
above Castle Dome to HardyvilIe.
They resemble the Yumas in most
all respects, except that they are
not Sc tall and their limbs are
more largely rounded. They

Guiding the Mohave Apaches,
who live in the interior, but who
come down to the river, now that
they are at peace with the Mo-
haves and with the settlers. The
Mohave Apaches number more
than thousand. The Mohaves
have been friendly and unfriend-
ly, at times, for many years, but
are now entirely peaceful. The
Mohave Apaches, who are nat
urally nomadic and warlike, are
also friendly at present.
From Mohave, on the Arizona
side of the river, up to and away
beyond Ell Dorado caiion, are the
Hualapais, now at peace with the
whites. They dress much the
same as the tribes lower down
the river. They number from
1,500 to 1900, and are experts with
the bow and arrow and firearms.
They and the Yavapais (now at
peace,) who inhabit the interior
country. betWeen Mohave and
Prescott, have sent many a poor
fellow to his long account.
On the California side of the
river, from a point, say, opposite
the Mohave Reservation, are the
Chemehuevis, extending up into
the Piute country, in Nevada.
The Chemehuevis and the Piutes
have been on friendly terms with
each other from time immemo-
rial, and both claim to be rem
nants of the "lost tribe" The
and customs of the two
tribes differ essentially, nCtwith-
standing. The Chemehuevis
dress as much as possible like
decent peoples and the women are
more virtuous than any of the
other river tribes. The Piutes,
On the other hand, are low cum
ming and treacherous, although at
