Mohave County miner., 1900-02-10

George M. Bowers, who recently pur-
chased the interests of his partners in
the Primrose, Todd Basin, has several
men at work driving the tunnel ahead,
in the breast of the tunnel there's now
two feet of solid ore that gives an aver
age sample of 100 ounces of silve, y
ounces of gold and 10 per cent copper
The tunnel is in $50 feet and ore shows
nearly all the way. Mr.. Bowers will
drive the tunnel ahead at least 100 feet
and then sink a winze on the ore body
Machinery will have to be put on, as
the mine is very wet. Specimens OF
the ore show native silver and copper
all through it. Mr.. Bowers is highly
sIated with his good luck aud his many
friends rejoice with him.

down to Aubrey district last week to
sample and examine the Ben Butler

mining company are doing develop

and had number of assays made that
proved highly satisfactory. The shaft

have out on the dumps ore enough to
warrant the erection of mill, but the
company intend to continue develop

from the ore now out assay close to

tons of this kind of ore ready to mill

relieved by the discovery of rich gold
mines, which yield an output of about
500, 000, 900 a year, and by the bank
ing and currency act, which add large
~ to the circulating medium. The
circulation is now larger than at any
other time in the history OF the coun-
try. The Mckinley administration
has been such as to inspire and retain
the confidence Of the nations and the
confidence of the business world, and
the result has been a period of COM

Judge E. H. Norton, of Platte City,
Mo-, ex-member Of the Missouri Su-
preme Court, an old-time Democrat,
did not approve his party's platform

has not taken up the cry Of imperial
ism in this campaign. He regards 1t
as a false issue and says: 81 regard
It as a mere blind behind which to
hide the real issue, viz: the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the ra-
ito Of 16 to 1. The charge of imper-
ialism is based by Mr.. Bryan upon the
action of President Mckinley, in en-
deavoring to maintain the authority OF
the United States in the Philippine
islands, by putting down by force the
armed rebellion of Aguinaldo. I re-
gard the silver plank in the platform,
together with the assailment of the
integrity OF the courts. as revolution
