 Copper minirlg in Arizona Is sound and reliable investment. for wf.n re-
 quislte rrscaution it dan be made as certain as any form of work can be ap- proxsnsuted. Where needed surveys are made, where the ground is thoroughly tested and the quality and quantity of
 the ground asoertained. where rroper calculation Is n.alje as to reeiiad bower. and where the proper form of miacGllne- ny is correctly determined and the need ed capital duly provided. the pioposi- ton can have nearly every element Of risk eliminated from 1t and become a simple ma,ller Of what may be consid- cred steady output os the finished pro- ntuct fEOin tine raw mritertal; the ccfl1 and profit as readily determined as in the case Of the manufacture of and ar- illcle for which there is a constant and unlimited demand.-Ex

 William Hetmroli returned last Wed nescly from the Boundary Cone corcl- try, where he has been examining min Ing properties. He says that the recent l strike made by Ben Paddock is a won 1 der In places along ;he ledge the gold | sticks out in big nuggets while the oh ! CT parts of the vein show well in fine | gold. The vein has been run over for | years and has been located many tEmes | by well known prospectors who failed | to find the righla spot on it. Paddock | sils aiken cut abcat five hundred ! pounds os the ere that will run about | l.50 10 the pound. Paddock claims that he knows of q her veins ;ihat he can take equally as rich gold ore as from this one There Ia no doubt that i1ere are nany rich gold bearing veins Tn the river range as well as placer de- posits. from which the ancients obi,ain- ed tlaeir supply of gold wfich was used In the manufacture of jewels and to- Sers cf value. They also mined the tur- Iuclse or this couTty and carried it to Mexico. where it was made into all forms of jewels The Mohaves are aware of the existence If gold in that sountry. but appear to have a supersti- ious dread of the mines being founl by White men Some of the mere enlght- ,ned of the tribe arc willing to take the whites to the claims, but are deterred )y fsar of The vengeance of the older members of th'e tribe.
