Mohave County miner., 1900-05-05

pensates the traveller from having a
little cream-colored mud spattered on
his Sunday clothes. 1t we're better if
this same mud were more in evidence
throughout the territory. The road
from the Warrior on west toward the
Continental is steep in places, but in
good condition. superintendent Par
nails road to the Continental is the
finest in the county. Judging from its
condition the owners of the Continen-
tai must have vast faith in its re-
sources. All indications lead us to ex.
pect that it will rival any property in
the county when properly developed,
and the present management has
shown ample determination and capac-
ity for that purpose. The country in
that section is covered with chaparral
which accounts for the fact that it is
prospected slowly. and new discover les
may be expected for years. 1t will pay
any one who is interested in mining
to visit this remarkable district
Globe Times.
Messrs. Tim Donahue and Tom Hall,
who own fine copper and gold prop
erty situate near the river and about
three miles below Kelvin, have determ-
ined to sink the discovery shaft to a
depth of 200 feet and are pushing the
work a. fast as powder and muscle can
accomplish it. They shipped a large
mill sample of the ore to FL Paso, re-
Gently, and it vent 30s gold to the ton,
and 38 per cent copper. This is GER
tainly flattering result.-Blade.
Deputy Sheriff Cavanaugh brings
good reports from the Belcher mine,
where Foreman Dave Bruner has about
30 miners at work. Bruner worked on
the Belcher nine years ago, when it
was famous gold producer, and has
a very good idea of the general lay Of
the ore bodies. In this mine there are
two parallel veins. On the lower vein,
about $50 feet in, a few days ago, Brun-
ner ran upon streak Of ore two feet
wide, which carries 44S to the ton

As indicating what intelligent de-
velopment has done and can yet ac-
complish in the Cochiti country, a
scrap of history may interest New
Mexico readers, says a correspondent
of the New Mexican. Two years ago
known mining experts in Colorado Wis
tied this camp, sampled the Albemarle
vein, wrote an elaborate report turn
ing it down, aud recommended to his
financial clients that they let it severe
ly alone. Later o. p. Posey purchased
the property for 50,000S; also two years
ago the Star group of claims in Pine
canyon went begging for buyer at
4oOO0S. Denver aud Cleveland, o., ex-
perts condemned it. A Mr.. McFarlane
of Chicago, took it in as "fyer" in
the way of side speculation, opened its
immense pay veins and sold IL to the
Posey people for 20O,O00s These prop
critics have recently been consolidated
and the present actual cash value OF
these two groups of mines, according
: TO the opinion of mem bers of the Bos
ton Mining Exchange as expressed in
daily transactions. backed by the cash
is 4,687, ,0OOs That is, the consolidated
stock of the Cochiti Gold Mining Com
pany is now ruling strong in Boston
on this basis of valuation. So the ex
perts don't know it all, after all. Nc
man can go through these mines, as
the writer has in the past few days, AND
conclude otherwise than that they are
: we'll worth every dollar that has gone
into their stock shares, and more, fol
i'm their workings nearly 3O,0O0,OOOS OF
ore, worth SO to l2s per ton, is nov
: blocked out and in sight. There are
dozen more just such properties in the
, camp. but it will take big money anc
brains to operate them.
