Rich Gold Belt.

One of the principal gold belts of
Mohave county, and in fact of the ter
ritory, crosses the southern part of the
county from east to west, and from
the Congress and Rich Hill mines on
the east to the Chemehuevis placers on
the west, this belt, from 26 to 80 miles
In width, is studded with rich gold
mlnes, both quartz and placer. The
great Vulture mine lies in this belt, as
does the Congress, Rich Hill, the Santa
Maria placers, the peculiar gold depos-
its of Burro Greek, Greenwood. Groom's
Peak, Potts Mountain, and the Cheme-
huevis Placers. Most of this region is
very rugged and inaccessible, render
ing the mining and reduction of the
ores difficult and expensive. But
where this belt is cut through by the
canyons of the Big Sandy creek in
southern Mohave county much of this
difficulty and expense is obviated
Between the head of the First Canyon
and the mouth of the Sandy, some 35
miles, there are at least 100 mining
claims located within three miles of
the creek. All these claims carry free
gold. The majority of them are owned
by Mexicans, who work them in a crude
way from time to time, arastraing
enough ore to keep themselves sup.
piled with beans and chilli Recently
the attention of mining men has been
directed toward this section, and with
the facilities for water power reduction
plants, and the nearness of the mines
to the creek, it is believed that in
short time the Sandy will be one of
the most active mining sections of the
county. One mile below Signal sur.
veys have been made that show 600
cubic feet of water passing a given
point per minute. With the fall obtain
able in the canyon, such a stream of
water will furnish abundant power.
The formation in this section is of the
kind considered by mining men as in
dicating permauency. Great noun.
tains OF basaltic rock traverse the
region from north to south, while the
ore veins usually lie in contact with
dykes of porphyry on one wall and
feldspathic granite on the other. The
strangest thing about this section is
that it has SO long escaped the notice
Of mining men, but we believe that at
no distant date the advantages offered
will be appreciated and taken advan
tage OF. Already local firm, Messrs.
Ewing & Heimrod, have bonded
nun Der of claims near the Sandy and
are preparing to erect a water power
mill.
