Dan McGowau, the well-known min.
er, has discovered and located two
veins which carry a very rare mineral,
known as aikenite. The find is located
a few miles To the south of Prescott

quartz streaked with what at first
looked like wire silver. He thought it
was gold and silver rock when he first
made the discovery and had it assayed
for the two metals, but found it free of
both. He then forwarded some speci.
mems to the Colorado school of mines,
with the result that he now finds him
self the possessor of two veins which
carry a metal worth about 75s pound,
1t is used much in the arts.-Prescott
