wonderful body of ore in the Katie

while streak on the wall twenty inch

Charles Z. Bowers, who visited the
mines of Todd Basin and Layne
Springs, last Sunday, reports great ac
tivity in the mines of that region. On
the Mint, Klempf and Bohne have
stripped twenty feet of ore along the
drift. The ore has an average width of
eighteen inches and is valued at over
one thousand ounces in silver to the
ton. Good ore is coming from the
Nighthawk, upon which several leasers
are Mt work
Mohave County miner., 1899-08-05


One of the direct results of the smell
ter combine is the increase in smelling
charges on all classes of ores. Low
grade ore producers will feel the effects
of the new rate much more keenly
than the producers of graded ores
Another feature of the combine will
be the elimination of open market
bids on special classes of ores. A rate
is also offered for high grade gold ore
of fifty cents per ounce lower than the
rate formerly in vogue. Smelling
charges are now from l:50s to 3:0Os per
ton higher than formerly. Colorado
ore producers may com bine TO Offset
the advance and build smelters of
their own. Already the question OF
individual smelters throughout the
producing districts is being agitated
In Mohave county low grade produc-
ers on the west side will be up against
hard lines, As the advance in many
cases represent the present net profit

Supervisor Kolar ard Road Inspsct
or Twigg went out Wallapai mountain
last Tuesday to look out route for q
road over the divide. They are of the
opinion that fairly good road to the
summit can be built for less than 5 %
and it behooves our people to dig up
the necessary collateral to do the work.
The pine forest on Wallapai mountain
is an IDEAL camping ground and many
people from Kingman and the sur
rolnding country would go there for
thsir summer outing. Besides being
an ideal resort the mountains are rib
bed al sea N 4 with veins of gold, sill
yer, lead and copper that could be
proAtably worked if the ores could be
hauled to market over good wagon
road. In our next issue we will review
the mountain country to be made ac-
cessible by the new road

In answer to letter making inqui-

worked on his farm last year, county
commissioner Kelsey madethe follow
ing reply:
HArToN, Feb, Sd, 1896.
Gentlemen: Your favor at hand. will say
in reply that have used the Stockton pillow in
this soil one year. Ithinkitist the proper piow
for this country. The stockton is nearly, II not
quite as light running as the 1tinch gang
pillow, and at the same time cuts 20 inches
more land. Ten acres is an easy days work
for eight hours with harrow attached; dis
lance 2o,a miles travelled. Can be used for
deep or shallow plowing and can be used in
sod with three-eights shears. Sod Plowed with
these plows works down in fine shape. l think
those who purchase the stockton pillow will be
we'll satisfied with the same.
