"Yf 0IDEH TINE. /"

Several years ago, as we sat hy orr
quiet tireside in Pioche a rumor came
10 us, softly, gently at first, then this
wonderful story was talked Of with
bated breath by groups OF men on the
street corners. Finally men became 40
excited over the tale tia. II was told with
loud voices in the stores, in restaurants,
in shops, in every place where men met.
What was this exciting story? you ask.
! Ii was the discovery OF the great Key
stone mine in Arizona by two respected
residents OF Pioche, Who had wandered
to ''Hualapai" District, Mohave county,
Arizona. seeking their fortune, and they
had found il, A small company OF cour-
ageous, energetic, brave.hearted men
banded together, and started out 10 cross
sandy deserts, climb steep, rocky noun
tains, with Indians for. guides, 20 reach
this country OF wonlrous wealth. After
many hardships and wary ,toiisome days
they reached th cir oasis, a beautiful ce-
dar grove, and from IFS size and location
they at once amed the place Mineral
Park, for there in that lovely grove they
had found the far famed Keystone mine
the story OF whose richness had induced
these men to leave their homes fpr this
land Of wealth, aud they were not disap-
pointed. A few montt's after their arri-
val at Mineral Park one OF thsse forth
nate prospectors one morning, as he was
looking for his horse, found a mine oi
wondrous wealth He was surprised at
It's richness; put men at work on il, AMI
in few weeks took ont OF this treasure
house over 10000. Others OF the party
were more or less fortunate This was in
the days of the seventies, and now at this
writing there are numerous settlements,
Chloride, Todd Basin, Cerbat, Stockton
Hill and quite number OF others. These
are. however, among the most prominent
ones. In al the mountain ranges can
nov be heard the blog OF the pick and
stroke OF the hammer as il is welded
by the hand OF the hopeful miner, which
is soon followed by the heavy blast OF the
never failing Giant powder. La the ear
lier days the miner worked under many /
disadvantages, such az scarcity Of very
poor provisions, enormously high prices
for groceries thattwere sin 10 sell, and
greater sin TO eat; yet with il all, the
men. being confident OF the wealth Of
their mines, knowing that better times
must come, they bore the tolls and depri-
yations Of those days with unfiinching
courage and determination that has At last
brought them success, and today they
can say with pride and truthiulness that
our star spangled banner does not wave
oyer a more beautiful cline, ia more
country than this, our own
fair Mohave county.
OLD TIMER.
Mohave County miner., 1891-07-04

In the whole of Mohaye county there
is not a single band OF sheep. Some et-
fort has been made to raise them, but
for some reason they don't do well. Below
town there is band of some 1000 goats
and certainly no animals thrive more
vigorously. They We're brought in from
California many years ago by our enter
prising fellow citizen, Capt. Hardy, and
located la Iayapai county for number
OF years, where they neither increased in
numbers nor in quality. A little over
two years ago Mr.. Mcguire took them on
shares and placed them on his ranch
below town, since which time they have
more than doubled in numbers and
greatly improved in other respects. This
has been done by care and attention,
and importing choice bucks from Califor-
MIA. They are beautiful animals and
ought TO be profitable, as their wool
brings high price, while their flesh is
not inferior to mutton, many people pre-
ierring it. They require less attention
than sheep, as they come home without
being herded
Mohave County miner., 1891-07-04

to Hardyville. From this time up to
1871 the Indians kept up an incessant
war against the whites during which
time great many Indians and whites
psny was formed at Hardyville by A. 4.
DAVIS, Beni. ii. Spear, Sam Todd, James
Fleming. James r. Bull ard William J.
Fee, and = party under Fee was sent to
make locations in this district which
they named Wallapai district. The first
locations were made around Cerbat and
We're named the Mohave Chief, bismarck
Knoodles, Savage and Woodwork. AS
the men knew little or nothing about
chloride ores no ledge not showing lead
was located. AS soon as prospectors
from Nevada came in the rich chloride
ores Of the district were discovered and
lead claims became practically worthless.
The surface ores, without exception, we're
very rich, as ali ores shipped to San
Francisco had to be worth over two hun
dred dollars per ton to return dollar
TO the miner. These surface
ores have nearly all been taken from
these old claims during the last twenty
FIVE years and as water has been encoun-
tered in nearly all, hosting works have
been placed on some and will soon have
ID be on others. The mines have all
been worked by chloriders, but few com
panies having invested money in the
country. Millions of dollars have been
taken from these surface workings, and
where the mines have been worked be-
low the water level the ore has improved
in every instance. The surface ores were
found in lunches, while below the ore is
found in chutes. Although our miners
have labored under nearly every disad-
vantage known TO pioneers OF the from
tier they have established the fact that
We have the finest country and the rich
est mines or the western hemisphere.

LOP-EARED CORN.

A prominent farmer from between the
rivers was in town yesterday on bust ness
He reports new kind of corn in the coun-
try. The farmers call it the lop-eared
corn. 1t comes of the fine rainfall which
we have had this season. The ears of corn
in the corn fields of Sedgwick county are
so big that they lop out from the stalk.
All along the Little Arkansas river is
shown now the finest yield of corn ever
known in Kansas. 1t carries out the
theory of the Kansas weather prophet that
this is the beginning of moist years in
Kansas, the Panhandle and Texas At no
time in the history of the settlement of
this valley has, Sedgwick county shown
such an enormous yield ot corn as the
present. 1t is hoped that this is but the be-
ginning of the raising of this new kind OF
corn, known as the lop cared variety.
