Mines of the County

We understand that the Enterprise

ore in one Of its mining claims in the
north end of the Wallapai mountain.
The ore runs we'll up in silver and

Mohave County miner., 1902-10-25

In an upper drift in tho Alpha mine
Peter Catfrey has opened up splendid
bIdy of copper ore. The breast of the
drift has been in fault aud Mr. CAT
frey conceived the idea of drifting
through it, when he drove into a body
OF more thau four feet in width. This
ore is heavy copper sulphide and car
rie, big values in silver aud gold. The
drift will be continued on in the ore
body for some time The mine is situ-
ated at Layne Springs and is an i'm.
mense vein, but here ofore the average
values have been in lead, gold aud sill
yer. A year or 30 ago big values in
copper and silver we're found but the
body of ore was cot off by the fanlt.
Now that the ore has been found
beyond the break there is no reason
why it should not begin shipping.

aud this morning departed for Min.

mining. James Uncapher met him in
Kingman and deal for the purchase
of the Queen Bee mine was entered
into. Mr.. Detar will probably put
men to work on the mine aud open it
mp in systematic shape. The mine is
one Of the good properties of the Min
eral Park country and has more ore in
sight than any mine in that country.
Every opening shows rich ore and of a
grade that will pay we'll IL shipped to
the smelters. A reduction plant will
probably be put in to handle the ores.

@he Cost Of Profanity.

Persons with small purses should
be careful to estimate the cost of
profanity before indulging in it. A
millionaire might afford many highly
seasoned oaths at sixty-seven cents
apiece. perhaps. under the statutory
tariff; but the more common variety
of man will find it hard II he is to pay
forty cents each for those Of inferior
quality. The inveterate swearer
would do well to carry about with him
copy OF the oath tariff and to con-
suit It with great care whenever the
forbidden desire comes upon him.
