Mohave County miner., 1902-01-04

W. b. Stephens, of the Big Sandy, is
in Kingman. A few months ago Mr..
Stephens appeared to be in fair way
to gather in fortune from a reputed
tin mine in the Sandy country, but
later developments have knocked the
tiu theory in the head. Samples from
the mine, taken by c. L. Constant, an
expert on the ores of tin, was given
result of over rs per cent by Denver
assayers. Mr.. Constant took samples
to New York aud made determination
in his own laboratory and found that
the metal contained In the rock was
bismuth. Sample seut by the MINER
TO the Arizona School of Mines re-
turned 62 per cent lead and the ore
was declared to be cerusi,e (white, or
carbonate Of iead), which it more re-
sembles than it does the other alleged
minerals. There Is not the least doubt
that the miner al Is not tIu.

Il. Il. Thorn pson this week visited the
Vanderbilt mine, at Cerbat, and l.
more than pleased with the showing
made by that property. The recent
strike of sulphide ore was made in u
drift that had been run off from deep
winze. This wnze is ll6 feet below
the tunnel level aud from the bottom
the drift Is now in 81 feet. The ore
shows up two feet wide aud has value
of sos in gold to the ton. The surface
ores OF this niue we're extensively
worked la srastr as by the pioneer min.
ers of the county, the vein being opened
mp by tunnels aud open cuts. From
these surface workings hundreds of
tons OF ore was taken that yielded re.
turns of thousands OF dollars. There
Is no reason why the sulphide ores are
not equally rs rich.

Rich Auro.cyanides.

This week G. G. Davis and O. r.
Avery received final returns from their
shipments Of auro-cyanides. One lot
OF l'6 e pounds gave tonnage result
OF l605S ounces silver, and 1888. 5.s9s
gold; the second lot Of l26 pounds
gave l4344.l0 ounces silver, and a.
l44.67s gold; the third lot of l3l 4
pounds gave l0,9S4 ouuces silver. and
l2,2SOS gold. The three lots netted
Messrs. Davis and Avery the tidy little
sum of 35s0.33s. This was taken from
the tailines of the Sheeptrail mill after
a short run. The taiings had been
tried repeatedly by cyanide experts
aud all agreed that they could not be
worked by that method. The gentle.
men worked the tailiugs to very high
percentage without sweeteDing, dem.
onstrating that the ores from the
Sheeptrail mines are susceptible of
working very closely by this method.

4HE YOUNG KING OF SPAIN.

Houston Post.

Houston Post.
The eccentric behavior of AL
fonso KILLS causing in the royal
household considerable anxiety for
the future of the young king of
Spain.
After angering the military
authorities and antagOnizing bis
ministers, be is now on strained
terms with the queen mother, whom
he has repeatedly insulted, and has
estranged the sympathy of the
members of his court by the fond
ness he has developed for low as
sociates.
The household has made desper-
ate efforts to conceal this facts,
but a portion of the truth has
nevertheless leaked out in social
circles of Madrid.
The kings attitude toward the
queen mother is the most severely
criticised part of his conduct, for
he seems to have lost all sense of
the respect due to her, and when
in anyway crossed by her he cur
ses her in coarse language, even
though servants and others may be
present.
The king will have it clearly
understood that his word is
supreme, and at the most trifIng
opposition to his whims he be-
comes abusive.

A BRICK-LAYING MACHINE

An interesting invention Is re-
ported from Canada.
The American commercial agent
at Stanbridge, Canada, tells OF the
perfection by Canadian inventor
of a machine for laying bricks.
According to his advices to the
state department, the machine,
worked by two men and a boy,
will lay between four hundred and
six hundred bricks per hour. The
machine is suited for all plain work
aud it is said door aud window
spaces cause only slight delay.
Ii is further claimed for the ina,
chine that it does the work better
than it can be done by hand. A
greater amount of pressure is put
upon the bricks, the result being
that they are more firmly laid than
by hand.
The inventor says each machine
will do the work of seven or eight
skilled workmen. The eGtim-
ate is mede that a mschine
adapted to build a factory or
other similar plain building ap-
proximating 90 by 40 feet can be
put upon the market for $500, and
the tests made indicate that it can
be worked with skill by any work
man after two weeks instruction.

Many Metal Township citizens
have been victims of a shrewd
sharper who sold them what he said
were cucumber seeds that would
produce cucumberS two feet long.
The young man was well dressed
aUd oily tongued. He usually Sc
lected women as his victims. To
themihe sold the seeds at % cents
a package, each package said to
contain FIVE seeds.
The directions were to plant them
in a barrel nearly filled with good
rich soil, and then wait for the
garden giants.
After several weeks there being
no signs of any vines, the purchas-
ers began to believe that they had
been hoodwinked, and some Of the
victims removed the FSeeds" from
the barrel. They were surprised to
find, instead of cucumber vines
shooting forth to produce:two-fOot
cucumbers nothing but wood, which
had evidently been taken from a
maple tree and carved into the
shape Of cucumber seeds:

Portsmouth HarhOr.

There has existed a harbor at Ports
mouth, England, resorted to by fight
ing ships from the most ancient times
in our history. The Romans undoubt-
eddy used it when they had their
stronghold at Portchester, and they
appear to have named it Portus Mag
nus, or the Great Port. The footsteps
of the Roman provincials and of the
Saxons and Normans may be traced
and from these times onward the name
Of Portsmouth occurs frequently in
our history. The place had attained
some measure of Importance in the
reign Of Henry l. Richard Ceur de
Lion set sail thence when last he left
the shores of his kingdom, and in the
time of his successor a naval estab-
lishment existed at the port.-London

The Greatest Men,

1t would be difficult task, if not an
impossible one, to persuade any half
dozen men casually brought together
into unanimity Of opinion concerning
the greatest man who ever lived. Most
Of them would agree no doubt with
Lord Brougham that Julius Caesar was
'the greatest man Of ancient times"
but how many Of the six would accept
Professor Gardeners estimate Of Crom-
well as ''the greatest Englshman of all
tmesY Each Of them, we may be
reasonably sure, would accept Shake
speape as the greatest poet, yet Lord
Lytton once spoke Of Milton as 'the
greatest poet Of our country" And
where will be found two men out Of
Scotland to agree with Charles Mackey
when he says Of Burns that he was
the greatest poet next perhaps to
King David Of the Jews-whom any
age has produced?-Leslie's Weekly.
