OUR MIN ES. Some Copper Claims. A Sample of What Mehave County can Show in the shape of Copper De
 pOsits.
Some Copper Claims.

Until within the past few months bu
 little attention has been paid to the numer
 ous lodges of copper ore which abound il
 many parts of Mohave county, in fact SC
 much has been written about our gold
 silver and galena lodges, that our copper | deposits have been almost lost sight of.- This has beer owing principally to the fact
 taat there have been no facilities for work ing copper ores in this county, and that the
 ra tes of freight have been too high to allow
 of their shipment elsewhere, The Atlantic
 & Pacific railroad, however, has changed all
 this, and mining men and prospectors are now turning their attention to our copper lodges as well as the other more valuable ones, more precious, but not less useful.- Copper lodges abound more or less all over Mohave county, though little or no work has been done on any of them heretofore except on the Grand Guloh and Adams claims which lie i'll the extreme northwestern portion of tEe cRlnty nsar the Utah line. The Grand Gulch mining company have erected large smelting works near their mine which have been in successful oper- ation for the past two or three years. but Mohave county has experienced little or nc benefit fIG-n them. the mines and smelteI being owned by citizens of Utah and all Of the bullion produced being shipped to sli Lake. It is now proposed to move these works from their present location to the banks of the Colorado at point near Pierce's Ferry where wood and water is abundant. The mines of Gold Basin and Lost Basin districts on the opposite side of the river furnishing the necessary Auxes in unlimited quantities. If this proposition is carried out it will be great help 10 Mo h:ve county and more especially to the miners of Gold Basin and Lost Basin. But Il is to other and less known claims than these, that it is our purpose to call the at- tentioG of the reader.
 In the southwestern portion Of the conn., ty on the western slope of the Wallapai range of mountains are found some immense deposits of copper ore of which we will en- deavor to give correct and exact descrip- l tion, though they should be seen to be | estimated. The mines are situated | near tine western boundary of the Cedar | alley district, about b miles from Cedar and some B miles south of Kingman The Atlantic & Pacific railroad passes within IA niles of the largest of these claims known IS the

was empty the neighbor laughed

It was again removed. Their mother

to shoot through the door, when
George told him that he could come

the door to call her husband, when
William drew his revolver and shot
his brother in the right eye. The ball

passionate and violent disposition, ac>
customed to command despotically,
and treats the natives of the upper
Congo as wild beasts. His ZanEibari,

The Lebanon Herald says Monroe
Jones. of DeKalb county, exhibited
to the editor of that paper a most re.
markable genealogical curiosity. He
called it the rattlesnake apple" and
the name is made peculiarly appropri-
ate by the fact that around the cir.
conference of the fruit is entwined
wildly accurate representation of q
rattlesnake. When the apple is Wig
orously shaken, the seeds in the core
make a sound very much like the pc
culiar rattle of the reptile named.
Jones states that the whistling Of the
wind through the branches of the
tree on which the apple grew closely
resembles the characteristic hiss OF the
rattlesnake. He says he connects it
with one of the most thrilling expert.
ences of his life. In the summer OF
io16-he remembers the date on ac-
count Of its having been the centen
NAL year-he was sitting, one Sunday
afternoon, on his front porch, reading
the Bible, when he Happened to glance
toward where his only child-a little
girl then about three years old-was
playing on the grass in the yard
Imagine his horror when he saw ceiled
on the child's lap al immense rattle>
snake, which the little innocent, laugh.
ing gleefully, was attempting to
feed with pieces of an apple
which she had partially eaten. The
father was painfully aware that any
attempt on his part to rescue the child
from her perilous position would
probably result fatally; and so. with
his keart almost frozen with horror
and every nerve strung to its utmost
tension, he forced himself to sit per-
fecily still, trusting to chance for bis
child's safety. In a few minutes, the
snake seemed to tire Of the stfsase
compsnionship, and glided away
through the grass, and the little girl
came toddling to the house.
Two years after, Jones noticed
small apple tree growing on the exact
spot where the little girl had been sit
ting. From the fact that there was not
another apple tree in several hundred
yards, he came to the conclusion that
this tree had sprouted from the seeds
Of the apple with which the child had
been feeding the snake; and this the
DRY is substaotiated by the singular
manner in which all the apples which
it has since borne are marked. An
other remarkable circumstance is that
there are siy DISTINCT rInes, each
about the size OF the snakes body,
around the trunk Of the tree, and that
a new ring makes its appearance every
summer.
