Shasta Copper Mines

A suit was brought by the United states
against the Mountain Copper company last
week in the circuit court to enjoin the COM
pany from burning their ores on the hill
sides of Shasta county.
The fumes reached timber growing on
government land destroying the trees, and
this is why the United States is now seek
ing to restrain the company from contin-
uing its operations under the present
method.
According to a recent report of the state
mining bureau, Shasta county easily heads
the list of the counties of the state in min
eral productions, leading off with total OF
81, 224 900, while Nevada county, which for a
long period has been accorded first place, is
now a poor second, with total output OF
81 ,9OO,0 900. To the Mountain Copper company
an English corporation though 1t be, is due
the credit for the honor which Shasta now
enjoys, and to stop the operations of this
company is the object Of the suit filed in
the United States circuit court.
Very few people outside of those who have
visited the great smeters realize what a
gigantic plant is established in this SEEM
ingly out-of-the-way place, and what Is
being done in Shasta county to place Cali

strated beyond peradventure that copper
ore can be profitably worked in California
and this industry, If not checked by govern
mental action, will soon become the leading
one in Northern California-Alameda Ar

Globe When Silver Was King

The Stonewall Jackson, at McNIillin, was
even larger producer than the Mack Nor
ris, and undoubtedly the richest silver ore
ever mined in Arizona was taken from the
Stonewall Jackson. Veins Of almost pure
silver were found, and after being stripped,
the metal was cut by chisels into huge slabs
and shipped to San Francisco, where it at
tracted great attention, and was sold a.
specimens, weight for weight. for silver doll
lars.

nuggets found at the grass roots. Tho
Chilsome brothers, locators Of the Nugget

which they realized $50 900, and it is alleged
as much more was stolen from them.
Another remarkable find was Munson's
chunk. huge bowlder, so rich In silver that
1t yielded upwards of $4,000. 1t was found by
al man named Munson. on the left hand side
Of the road leading to Ramboz, about four
miles northeast of Globe. Mack Morris,
riding along the road, found Munson sitting
on the bowlder, where he had been since the
night before without grub. Upon being
asked what he was doing there, Munson re-
piled that he had struck it rich, and was
afraid to leave his And, for fear some one
would jump it. Mack Morris rescued HIN
from the dilemma by putting notice on the
bowlder: This is Munson's chunk" and

made. A lead was discovered near by from
which very rich ore was taken, but the pay

The reason so many failed to make this
