Mining the Safest of Invest

MohaVe County Offers Great Induce
ments for Investment of Capital.
nlentS.

There is no kind of investment, in
the entire range of possibilities, which
is at the same time so safe, so certain,
and so beneficial to all the parties con-
cerned, as the purchase and scientific
working of good mine.
To the miner working for daily
wages, 1t offers better pay than any
thing else, to the owner it gives more
than interest on his capital, and to no
person on earth does it entail the
smallest harm. 1t adds to the in
creased value of the products of the
country, puts money into circulation.
builds up the state or territory, at.
tracts population, and gives the politi-
cal economist grand field for the
exploitation of his favorite pursuit.
Further, the greater the sum used as
capital, by so much the greater be-
comes the certainty that profits will
be reinvested, and the basic foundation
of the country more firmly established.
The recent influx of noted prospec-
tors from the greatest mining camps
known to the world, has given the
mines of Mohave county an import
ance which they have never before at
tanned, and the reports which these
careful, brave, wide.awake men have
made regarding the existence of great
possibilities in our very midst, are
calculated to gain for our county, the
attention of some of the abest fnan-
cal mining men, who are to be found
from Salt Lake City to New York and
the far East.
We have had the pleasure of an in
terview with DR.. J. p. Wallace, who has
spent a considerable portion of his
life in examining and developing min
ing properties.
DIR. Wallace came hither some
months ago, and since his arrival has
been very quietly, very carefully, aud
with great thoroughness, examining
the different sections of the mineral
zone OF AlOndVe county
His opinion of the future of this
camp is emphasized by his taking a
house and sending for his family. He
says, in effect, that he is much pleased
with the outlook He finds the min
eral deposits chiefly associated with
eruptive rocks, which is a com bination
most favorable for extensive ore depo-
sition.
Many of the veins are what We know
as contact veins" and lie either be-
tween granite and porphyry, or sven.
lite and porphyry, while others are
mineralized porphyry bikes.
la the Cerbat range however, the
formation may be described as meta
morphic, belonging to the granite
SERIES The veins are large, well de-
fined, true assures, porphyritic in
character.
Many of these veins have parallel
streaks of high grade ore. The general
course is northwest and southeast,
with vertical dip or inclining slightly
to the east. This is the identical for
nation which has made Gilpin county,
Colorado, famous.
These forma tions are regarded with
favor by expert mining men, who ex-
pect with them to find bodies of ore of
immense extent, and great value. As
a rule the veins are strong, large,
clearly defined, and the grade Of ores
in many of them is very high, some
being exceptionally rich.
While economic conditions seem
al first glance, serious, especially to
the new conner, it soon becomes evil
dent that when compared with heavy

ern ATTITUDES. the balance of evidence
sustains the assertion that Arizona is
really entitled to the preference, es-
pecially when the fact that our mines
may be worked every day in the year,
Is proved beyond dispute.
The very newness of this great min
eral county, IL reason why investors
should prefer it, for mine may be
purchased in Mohave county today,
for a sum which would not make the
first payment upon Cripple Creek
property.
The older camps are pre- empted, oc-
