Mohave County miner., 1906-03-24

the gold mines of the river range I'M
til few years ago, when the low mar
ket value of silver drove prospectors
into the gold belts of the county.
Under the new conditions the first
mine of moment to be found was the
SNOWFALL, near Vivian. This mine
showed ore that ran as high as forty
ounces gold to the ton. 1t is now en-
braced in the German-American group
of mines. Later the Sheeptrail, in the
upper end of San Francisco district,
was found. One of the mines, the
Minnie, showed ore that ran thousands
of dollars to the ton. Work is now
progressing on the Sheeptrail group.
Later the Gold Road mines were
found. and it is to these mines that
San Francisco district owes its present
prosperity.
The Gold Road mine was discovered
by Jose Jeres, who was grubstaked by
Henry Lovin. The grubstake amount
ed to thirteen dollars. Jeres repre-
sented to several Kingman gentlemen
that he knew the whereabouts of a
rich ledge of gold ore in the country
bordering on Eldorado Canyon and
tried to get a grubstake, but failed
until he ran across Henry Lovin, who
listened to his story and gave him
what he wanted. Jeres was camped
on the Colorado river and was on his
way back there with his provisions
when he accidently discovered gold
in the great vein now known as the
Gold Road lode. Breaking off some of
the ore, which showed free gold, he
returned to Kingman and reported
his find. The assays from the outcrOp
gave results of forty ounces gold to the
ton. A rush was made in there and
soon the whole country was staked off.
Lovin and JereS did their location
work and when the shaft on the Gold
Road was fifteen feet deep they bond
ed the property to Los Angeles people
for 50,00OS. Later the property was
sold to Joseph Burkhardt, who worked
it for some time and then disposed of
it to Posey, Baily and Mccormick for
275,0OOS. a French syndicate bought
an interest in the property paying a
half-million dollars for one-fourth of
the stock. Since the inception of this
company work has been carried on sys-
tematically and at the present time
the main shaft has reached a depth of
600 feet. The levels run off show the
mine to be one of the greatest in the
country. On the 400 and 500 levels
the ore bodies are immense and the
values range from pos to 3O,0OOS to the

San Francisco District
Its Early History and Treas
ures of Gold.
A Rockribbed Mountainous Region, Grid.
ironed by Veins of Precious Metal.

Since the days of Won Humboldt
writer's on geological and mineralogi-
cal topics have adverted to the fact
that the desert country of the south
west would some day surprise the
world with its riches of base and prec-
ious metals. That these writers were
not dreamers has been verified by the
great discoveries of gold, silver, lead
and copper throughout what was at
one time termed the ''Great American
Desert, the country west of the Con-
tinental Divide. Twenty-Five years
ago this great stretch of country was
indeed a desert waste, practically
without habitations for hundreds of
miles in every direction, while today
it is teeming with life and energy.
Twenty-Five years ago the old stage
routes across this desert section were
practically abandoned and between
Mineral Park, in Arizona, to San Ber-
nardino, in California, there were not
a dozen people to be found. Then
Calico was discovered and a rush was
made to that place, but the deprecia-
tion of silver and the pockety nature
of the veins soon caused desertion of
the camp. Montgomery camp was
then discovered and many people BRAY
ed the superheated atmosphere OF
Death Valley in search of gold. The
long distance from the base of supplies
killed Montgomery camp and also the
properties on the Amargosa, which
were then in active operation. The
Death Valley section has been known
for years to be gold bearing, but the
ores would not stand the hundreds OF
miles of wagon haulage and. therefore,
no effort was made to work them.
Along the Panamint range mines have
been held for more than thirty years
by men who believed that some day
they would become valuable. Silver
Peak, west of TOnOpah, was worked in
the latter part of the sixties, mines
were located, worked and patents is.
sued to the owners at Manhattan in
1864. And were conditions the same
today as in those early days there
would be no rush to the Death Valley
country. Now that the railroads have
Mohave County miner., 1906-03-24

made it possible to ship low grades of
ores to the smelters, and the markets
having been brought nearer that sec
tion mine owners are enabled to work
their mines at a great profit. And it
was the ability to work the mines that
caused the strikes of rich ores in that
section, and what is more to the point,
the exploitation of that country has
just begun.
But we did not start out In this ar
ticle to dilate on the merits of the
great gold belt of southern Nevada,
but to call attention of the trend Of
this belt to the southeastward and in
to this county. A glance at the map,
and it is a correct one, will convince
the reader that the strike of the gold
belt of the desert is southeasterly,
passing from Virginia City, the great
est camp the world has ever known,
through the broken and detached
ranges of the east side of the Sierra
Nevada range, through Hawthorne,
Tonopah, Goldfield, Bullfrog, Sandy,
Vanderbilt, Searchlight, Eldorado Can
yon, and the San Francisco and other
districts in the Blue Ridge range, on
the east side of the Colorado river.
and south into the lower end of the
Wallapais and Bill Williams Fork sec
ton, Santa Maria and Wickenburg.
While along this great gold belt there
are broken and non-mineraliZed sec
tions. it is true that the mineralized
zones are extremely wide, especially
near Goldfeld, Bullfrog, Searchlight
and Gold Road. At the latter place
the entire range north and south for a
distance of one hundred miles is gold
bearing, while below this range on
the south is another mineralized range
for a distance of sixty miles. On each
side of Searchlight the naturalization
shows from north of Eldorado Canyon
to south of Needles.
Like the Manhatten country, mines
were discovered in the Gold Road sec
tion in the early sixties and worked
to some extent, considerable of the ore
being sent to San Francisco by way of
the Colorado river and the Gulf of
California. Later a small iron-frame
ten stamp mill was erected at Hardy
vile to handle the ore from the old
Moss mine, but it was not a success.
Then came the Indian trouble and in
the years that followed little mining
was done in any part of this county.
The discovery of silver-gold ores in
the mountains of the Cerbat and Wall
apai ranges in the early seventies
drew the attention of prospectors from

ENGL4ND's MUNICIPAL REVOLUT!Oy.

The impressive municipal revolution which
has been effected in England this week is proD-
erly to be regarded a matter of business
economics rather than of general politics. 1t
is true that the lines of demarcation between
the Reformers and the ProgresSiveS coincided
pretty closely with those between Cnionists and
Liberals and TO some extent the extraordinary
result of the lOca! elections will be interpreted
as d Unionist victory and Liberal defeat No
issues of national politics We're. however in
volved in the contest. and there is 10 reason
why UnioniSt should not be a Progressive
Liberal a Reformer-thoush rs Il matter
of fact, he seldom if ever is. The real uues-
ton IL issue was one of municipal business
administration and it amounted substantially
10 this: Whether the system of municipal OWN
erShip and operation of all sorts of public
ami private utilities should he continued and
extended so TO make the local government
vast cleemosynary institution OF municfpal
affairs should be conducted on a practical anI
solvent business basis The answer. as given
in the elections appears to be unmistakable
and we cannot regard it at all surprising
The fact is that for some time under the
exuberant impulse of various sentimental fads
local governments in England have been in
large measure extravagantly, not TO say reck
lessly. conducted. We would not say they have
been prOfiigate since there is no considerable
indication Of dishonesty Bat there has been
far too great an inclination to do things which
seemed TO be for the public good without paus-
ing to consider the cost. We shall probably do
TO injustice if we assume that some municipal
politicians have deliberately ignored the uues-
ton Of cost. because they thought the cost
would fall upon the taXpaying minority, while
the benekt of the works would be enjoyed by
the supposedly nOn-taXpayns majority. and
nority for the sake OF winning those of the
ma jOrity For a time that shortsighted policy
was successful. Men said: I'VE don't paw
taxes, so we don't care how much the County
Council spends: and do like to have
cheap carfares and luxurious baths and or
mate theatres So they voted to put and TO
keep in office men who would spend money

Since 1895 the Republicans have been in COM
plete control of the state government In that
period they have passed 1O3 measures asked
for and intended to benefit the industrial work
ers. They have removed the limit on the
amount recoverable for injury or death through
the negligence of any person or corporation.
They have abolished the competition of prison
labor with free labor. They have greatly ex-
tended the laws against sweatshoDs and uIl-
healthful conditions of labor both in factories
ana in mercantile houses. They passed the
tenement house laws and the laws for the reg
ulation of employment agencies and the pro-
lection of work seekers Mr.. Hearst when he

PRESIDENT HADLEY ON MORALITY.
Deplores Difference of Standards for Private
and Public Life.

President Arthur T Hadley of Yale University
in q lecture on Modern Ethical Ideals yesterday
afternoon before the New York School Of Philan-
thropy. said that of the strangest features IN
the life of the American people at the present
day the contrast between its standards of
private and of public morality. The lecture was
held in the assembly hail of the United Charities
Building No. 107 East 22d street President Had
ley went on to say:
The whom you could trust to help a weaker
neghbor will nevertheless to all lengths TO hurt
a weaker competitor for money or for Once A
man who in private life would despise snoobshness
and servility of every kind will in business or poll
tics, cringe to the stronger power for the sake
of his personal advantage
The difference between our private and our pubhc
morality is that public sentiment is clear in one
case and obscure sef-contradctOry in the other.
In private life despise in ourselves and our
friends the things which condemn in our enc
mics This makes our condemnation effective. IN
public matters. whether of business or oc politics,
our condemnation is too often that o. the lips
alone, rather than OF the heart w. condemn
a man for succeeding wher: his success Is detrimen-
tai TO u.s. but for the most part we have identified
ourselves with methods of getting little more
money or a little political influence which are
much like his that it takes the force out of
their condemnation.

and of value of products about 40 per cent or

wages. The number of employees increased
by 24.5 per cent while the amount paid in
wnges increased by 34.T per cent, showing a
material increase in the average rate of wages
Suggestive also is the comparison between the
remuneration of wage earners and that of
salaried officers of corporations. The average
yearly pay Of the employees is little less than
$500, including those of both and all
ages, while that of the officers is less than
S1,2J0. 1t may be that the former is not a
large amount to earn for a years TOLL but
neither is the latter by any means the "blOated

rapid and substantial and which appears to
result in reasonably equitable division Of

fact is particularly creditabe to the people of
the state, when circumstances are considered,
for, while New Jersey has the advantage of
