 Col. 4. O. Brodie came up yester- day from Walnut Grove on business matters, where he IS performing an nual assessment work on the dam site and preparing also to start up work on the Crown Point mine. It is useless to state that Colonel Brodie is distributing thousands of dollars among workingmen, and contributing to the building up of the industries of the county. He has over fifty men at work in both places. Wish We had more bona ide rustlers ike him. But the average voter don't seem to like tbat Kind of a person.
 When silver was Sl 10 an ounce, the Peck mine employed a large force of men and was a tremendous producer; if silver was worth any where near that figure now, the DOsoris and Blue Dick would be in operation. They are all in this county. The characterization of sil- yer closed our silver mines and ! struck down half the value of our gold-bearing silver mines. That IS what they are-gold-besung silver min ss; for the rule is that silver pre- dominates, at the rato of about Is to l on an average in our gold mines. In very few of them does gold pc dominate.-Courier. The assertion l above about the Peck, is untrue. Long years before silver had its finishing kink put into it by Cleyeland's last administration and | a democratic house and senate, the | Peck was as silent as a tombstone, and no one knows il any more than i the above paper. The Dosoris and | Blue Dick were also lifeless, because ! they were evidently played out. All ] this hogwSsh about Yavapai silver mines closing down when they show 1 ed $50 ounce ore in the bottom, and ! remainu 2 closed down even in thIs l day, when there IS plenty of 300 or 400 ounce ore in sight, may be 1 swallowed by gullible tenderfoot, but it won't wash down the throat ! of the practical mining man. Just show us any kind of mine, silver, gold, copper, lead, or and combIna- ton of metals, that will insure capl- | tai valuation of over S75 ton, and l we will show you "all kinds of money" that is only too greedy to l get hold of it. The greatest piece of folly is the silver issue iu Yavapai l county. The great number of mines now being operated in this county l are distinctively gold, and they are being worked for the gold in them and exclusive of silver How many 1 silver mines are there in YavapaI that carry Is ources of silver to l of goldF Occasionally there may be one.
