Mohave County miner., 1907-05-18

R. w. Hunt returned last evening from Los Angeles, where he was un- der the care of the physician.
 Dr. J. R. Whiteside came over from Chloride Thursday last and remained in town a few hours renewing ac- quaintance with his many friends.
 E. P. Lambert, of St. Louis, arrived in Kingman Tuesday morning and was met by his son-in-law, E. J. McNulty, and the gentlemen departed the fol- lowing day to Mineral Park, where Mr. Lambert will visit for several months.
 J. w. Johnson came up from Planet this week. He and Henry Slicter re- gently sold group of mining claims in the Bill Williams Fork section to w. w. Whitney and others, of Pasa- dena, and are to receive good round sum of money for them.
 Otto Korn, of Empire Flat, arrived in Kingman few days ago and has been busily engaged in making the ac- quaintance of the good people of King man. Last evening he was inducted into the mysteries of the order of Elks and says he likes the experience.
 R. G. Ferguson, of Chloride, was in Kingman Thursday on the evening train. They went out to Chloride this morning. MT. Ferguson shipped a car load of Redemption ore to the smelter last week and has just received grati- flying returns.
 Louis Greer, of Blackberry, has gone to Los Angeles, where he will take treatment at one of the hospitals. MT. Greer has been ailing for several months and believes that course of medical treatment will put him in trim again.
 The mines of the northern part of this county are attracting attention from copper men. The mines have not been sunk below the surface cap- ping, but in the sandstone they have shown wonderful values. Thousands of tons of ore running from fifty to sixty per cent copper has been shipped to the sm elters from them and thous- ands of tons of lower grade ore is on the dumps. Should a railroad be built in to the mines from the Clark road there is no doubt that it would be but short time when our northern possess ion would be asking for the formatiCn n of a new county, with the river as the dividing line. All over the north part of the county copper is to be found in the sandstones, the flow coming up from the lime underlying the great sandstone belt of that region. All the ores are wonderfully rich, but as is usually the case, the deposits are in pockets of from one ton to a thousand tons in extent. At the Grand Gulch mines, in Bently district, the overflow from the veins followed the sandstone seams down the canyon for more than one mile and was scooped up and ship ped by the early miners in that re- zion. An old shelter was operated there about thirty years ago and the copper used in Utah for commercial purposes. The railroad is now but forty miles from the Adams lode and not much farther from the mines at Hidden Spring and Savanic. East of these mines, which are in or close to the Grand Gulch, are the mines of the great Buckskin mountain region, which are said to be among the best in that country, but are so remote from railroad communication that it is practically impossible to work. The section is on northwesterly line from the great mines of Jerome and are supposed to be continuation of that belt. A railroad along the Grand Canyon of the Colorado would be sol ution of the problem, with great power house in the canyons depth harnessed to the rushing waters of this wonderful Colorado river, where enough power to handle railroad and machinery could be readily generated.
