Died.

At Signal, this county, on Friday, the
1lth inst, at 3 o'clock p. m, John II.
Meyers, aged 81 years.
Johnny Meyers, as he was familiarly
known to all of his aquaintances, was
an old time resident of Mohave county,
the last twelve or fifteen years of his
life having been passed at Signal in the
employ principally of Levy Brothers
lie had been troubled for some years
with indigestion and had been i'll for
many months but did not give up until
the 22nd of February, since which time
he had been confined to his room at
the Greenwood mine, until two weeks
ago when he was removed to Signal for
better care and treatment. A physi-
clan was sent for, but it was evident
that the sufferer was so near to deaths
door that the presence of doctor was
unnecessary. The primary cause of
death was gastric ulcer, the immediate
cause being inanition.
For the last twenty years John
Meyers had for a chum, partner aud
friend Fred Kohn. All through this
/ last illness he had the personal care OF
/ this true, devoted and loyal friend
Fred Kohn is hero. Day and night
at the side of his dying friend, antici
pating his every need, never for one
moment faltering in his labor of love
doing everything that within his power
lay to alleviate aud soothe the last
moments of the sufferer. When medi
cal aid did finally reach the poor suf
ferer he had passed the stage wher'
mortal aid could be of assistance, anC
nothing left to be done, but make tL'
passing away as easy as possible
From the morning of the 10Th until thu
release came on the following day h'
was practically free from pain and re
tanned conscious ness until twenty min
utes of his death. The funeral tool
place at Signal on Saturday at l
O'Clock in the morning.
The friendship of Damon anC
Pytnias, David and Jonathan, and th'
cardinal principles of Odd Fellowship
we're here exemplilied in real life
John II. Meyers was fortunate in th'
possession of his faithful, devoted anc
loyal friend, Fred Kohn.
He fatha
lived some years in southwest Wiscou
sin and worked in the lead mines.

Gold and Copper Mines of Wright
Creek

A strike of copper and gold ores has
been made on Wright Creek. about
twelve miles south of Peach Springs,
by William Tucker, of Ash Fork; Will
liam Crowell, j. NJ. Tuttle aud ID. VI.
Alexander, of Williams. They have
opened up one of the mining claims to
a depth of fifty feet, at which depth
the ore gives value of as high as 1873
to the ton in gold and as high as
thirty per cent copper. There is one
claim having three foot vein that
runs on an average 2lS in gold and
30 per cent copper. Another claim
runs 625OS to 1873 gold. At the depth
Of fifty feet the ore shows free gold in
the quartz.
The veins occur in the contact be.
tween slate and granite and are well
defined. The owners are at work open
ing up these veins aud have now a
splendid showing. In the creek there
is plenty of water for milling and min-
ing purposes and on the surrounding
hills there is plenty scrub timber for
fuel. 1t is easy of access from Peach
Springs, good wagon road leading to
the town.
Many years ago there was found in
that country the richest gold ore ever
discovered in the territory, the float
running as hign as S0,JOUs to the ton,
Although many searches have been
made for the vein from which the float
came no trace has ever been found. Ii
may be possible that it exists among
the gold-copper veins which have been
found by the pros spectors now in there
/ The country surrounding has beer
but little pros pected, although there i,
mineral from the Cottonwood tC
Mount Hope. Many Kiugmsn peopl,
are preparing to 20 into that country
to prospect aud it would not surpris,
us if there was a stampede in tha
direction. 1t is an ideal country t

can be desired during the summe

1t is probable that this valuable ore
exists in small quantities in this dis.

fore because very few prospectors
would recognize the ore if they should
see it. While good grade of this ore
is worth about 2OO.0OS per ton, the de-

The Overland Bonanza Founo.

Many years ago David Parks, one of
Oldest miners in the Wallapai noun
teins, discovered remarkably rich sill
ver-gold ore on the claim known as the
Overland, from the float of which he
gathered up one and ue.half tons of
ore that ran over l500S to the ton.
This ore he sold to the Mineral Park
mill. Specimens of the ore were
priced for their beauty for many years
in the county. Parks made many
attempts to find the place whence
came this float but was never able to
locate it. Many other scar he'd ror the
vein, but years passed away and the
treasure remained undiscovered
James Jackman and Harvey Hubbs To-
Gated the claim, which became aban.
doned some years ago, and have done
some work on it. A week or more ago
Jose Sigala went out to the mine to do
the assessment work for behalf of Mr..
Hubbs and in searching along on the
vein made the discovery of pocket of
ore just over "A little break in the hill
from where the rich float was found.
He worked on it for day or two and
then came to Kingman and obtained a
lease from Hubbs for his interest in
the claim. He brought in with him a
/ sample of the vein which gave re.
turn of 50OS in gold and silver to the
ton. He says that there is now in
sight an eight inch streak of this class
of ore aud that he has stripped several
hundred pounds of it before coming to
town. He and Jackman are now al
work on the ore and will soon send a
shipment to the sampler. The fioa,
found on the claim in early day:
showed an ore streak at least eightaer
inches in width, but this must have
come from the vein when the mouu
tain was considerably higher. Tn,
float lay in the soil on the mountain
side aud at first appeared to be a ledge
in place and the sinking of shaft OIL
