The Mohave County MINER does not
devote its energy to the booming OF
one part of the county to the detriment
Of the balance. We have the greatest
miueraliZed section of the earth's sur.
face aud we want everybody to know
Il, No matter what mineral you may
ne in search of you can find it by com.
ing to Mohave county. The three
great mountain ranges traversing the
county from north TO south, distance
Of nearly 3C0 miles, contains every
mineral of value in the commercial
world. To place these minerals on the
market in a marketable shape requires
capital and we believe it to be the duty
of every man in the county to aid cap
italists to find investments here and
10 hold out inducements for them TO
come, Petty sectional jealousies should
have no place in the breast of a worthy
re sidrnt of grand old MOhave. Let us
all work for grander results than the
,ucce sses of a moment. We have a
great future before Us and we should
each and every one add his mite to
that end.
