Mohave County miner., 1908-09-19

efgy.
 John Jamison is in from Layne Springs, where he owns rich gold-cop-
 per property. He reports Peter Catfery
 running the deep tunnel on the Alpha
 mine and getting some good copper
 ore.
 Charles Parisia came in from Chlor-
 idle Tuesday last with carload of ore
 which he and partners took from the
 Towne mine. The ore is said to be quite rich, carrying values in gold and silver.
 E. R. Bush, of New York, is investi-
 gating the property of J. D. Spargo, in Chloride. The mines are rich in gold and silver, and we hope the con-
 pany will take them up and develop them on a proper scale.
 Work is being pushed on the mines in Weaver district by the Utah-Ari- zona Gold Mining company. A large force of men are at work on the prop- critics and milling plant will soon be in operation. The ores are quite rich in gold.
 E. B. Frederick, formerly of this county, has contract to do 1000 feet of work or the Alunite mines, near Vegas Wash, on the Nevada side of the Colorado river. The mines were recently struck and are said to be opening up splendidly. Mohave coun- ty prospectors found mines in that sec tion in the early eighties, but the country was one of the most isolated in all the section of desert. From the river side the mines were practically inaccessible, but with the advent of the Salt Lake railroad these mines are brought close to civilization and their working made possible.
 General Manager Witnny, of the McCracken Hill Mines Company, was in Kingman this week on his way to Los Angeles, where he will confer with some of the m mbers of the con- pany. For some unexplained reason the company has closed down work on the property and will probably release the bonds covering the entire group. A nd this ic Inna in tho fact that the consulting engineer re- ported that there was enough ore in sight to pay for the property, erect reduction plant, extract the ores, in- stall required machinery, and then leave net margin of profit of ?, 300, ,OOOS When the mine was examined it was estimated that there was 45, 900. .OOOS in sight and since that time more and better ore has been opened up. Great bodies of ore carrying high values were encountered in the old works, being separated from the other rich extracted by but seam of waste. Mir. Witney is of the opinion that the shut down will be but tenn porary, although when started up again it will be by other people. Pos sibly no other mine in the territory, or on the coast for that matter shows such possibilities as does the McCrack- en and the people are assured that it can not long remain idle. While | worked under Mr. Witney's manage ment the mine made record for fast work. The big three compartment shaft was sunk at the rate of more than three feet every twenty-four hours, while the drifts were carried on 1t a still greater pace. More than f 1000 feet of work was done in nine months time in the way of drifts, shafts and winzes. At the same time m unusual amount of surface work was done, roads built, dumps graded put, open cuts run, the vein exposed wherever possible, and scientific ex- )loitation of the mine had.

gether with several prominent mining men of Plumas county, have formed a corporation which is known as the California and Nevada Consolidated Mining Company, with capitalization of l,5OO,OO0s. This company is to op- crate in Plumas county. A fifty-ton mill is to be erected. That the mine is a bonanza the owners say is fact. They have an abundant faith in the proposition, and backed their belief by good hard cash. Assays of the ore show from AS to 24.40S per ton. This ore can be work ed at cost of 80 cents per ton. - Chico Enterprise.
 People who come in from the Tom Reed camp report the mill grinding away on splendid ore. So far no stop ing has been necessary, all the ore coming from the winzes and drifts. Although less than fifty per cent of the gold value is extracted on the plates the production of bullion is without precedent9,in in this territory. A small cyanide plant is doing good work on the tailings, extracting practically all the values and turning out big bars of bullion weekly. It is said that the entire breast of the drift on the l5O level is in ore averaging over 30O$ to the ton. The entire mine shows wonderful ore bodies and big values. , :r'.416
 Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tofte returned last Saturday evening from Atchison, Kansas, where they visited with relatives of Mr. Tofte They were pleased to get home again, the climate Of Mohave county being good enough for them for life. Mr. and Mrs. Tofte are the owners of large amount of mining property in the Chloride sect ion and expect to do great things with these properties this fall and winter.
 John c. Potts is at his mines in the Union Pass section, where some work is now being carried on. The proper ties show splendid milling values and there is no doubt that they will be taken over by company of sufficient capital to put them on a proper work ing basis.
 The Needles shelter is being remod- eled, much new machinery going in and the plant put in an uptodate con- dition. The shelter has been running steadily on ore from the desert mines and gives good satisfaction.
 L. Hoffman, general manager of the Arizona Southwestern Copper con- pany, paid the mines a visit this week. He reports that the mines are looking better and better with every foot of develOpment.

Coffin says that in the exercises this year
as we'll as last year, the need of boats
was greatly felt There is only one mar

be left to the imagination when the term
naval attack is used in connection with
the exercises In his opinion the only VA
ration in the attack can be had by the
use of many boats, especially small craft,
which can work in near the shore ami

the means of employing landing parties

RARE CASE l. PARALYSIS.

a form of PARALYSIS while inhaling the

Ten minutes later. when he tried to

Surprising that h" had suffered a sud
den stroke of paralysis, Mr.. MacCreary
called to his wife, who summoned DR..
Mercer. The doctor, upon Xaminatlon
found that Mr.. MacCrhary was suffer
ing from some strange malady which,
although he was not pFraayZed in the
ordinary sense in any part of the BODY
and his mental faculties remained per-
fectly clear, prevented him from NOV

Investigation on the part Of the spe-
c~ialists who were called in disclosed
the fact that a blood clot had formed
at the base of the brain. The result or
this clOt formation was to prevent Mr.
MacCreary from moving for weeks, and
the only cause for it that the physicians
have been able to discovea: was thea c-
ton of the fumes of the cigaret.
For several weeks application of
mustard plasters to the feet and other
measures to reduce the size of the clot
proved Intellectual. An-operation was
then decided upon and proved success
ful.
Strict instructions were given by the
doctor to the two trained nurses who
watched over Mr.. MacCreary during
the long period of conValescence that

HOW FLOWERS HIDE HONEY.

Pits Where Sweets Arc stored In
tho Lily.
Before the bee sucks" as Ariel put
1t, he must find the wonderful places
where the flowers hide away their
honey, to be found like the priests
hiding holes in ancient mansions, by
the right sort of visitor, and to keep
away all intruders.
IN the recesses of the crown imperial
lily at the centcr can be seen six large
honey pits, one on every floral leaf, and
each is trimming over with a big drop
of honey and glistening like a teardrop.
Shake the flower and it 'weeps' as the
big drops fall from it, soon to be re-
placed by other tears in the rapidly
secreting flower. The simple folk call
the flower 'Job's tears"
The snowdrop is literally flowing
with honey, for In swollen veins trav-
ersing It's fragile whiteness are rivers
of nectar. The petals of the columbine
are ingeniously and deliberately design
ed with a view to providing good places
of hiding for the honey. Each is cir
cular, hollow, shaped like a horn. In
each the honey is secreted in a round
knob at what would be the mouthpfece
end of the horn, and the five are ar
ranged in a ring. side by side, with the
honey knobs aloft. Though the honey
store is obvious from without, yet the
insects who would sip it must creep
into the flower and penetrate with a
long nose up the curving horn to the
knob.
Sometimes the petals are all Joined
together into n tube and the sweet nee
tar simply exudes from the inner side
of the wall and collects at the bottom.
This is the case in the dead nettle, the
tube of which forms so toothsome a
morsel that some children call 1t suck
ies.' The honeysuckle is similarly
planned, and its sweetness is so strils-
ing as to have furnished its name.
The monkshood has quaint hectares.
If the hood be drawn back there sud
denly spring into sight two objects on
long stalks, which are sometimes like
a French horn, sometimes like a cowl,
or, looked at sideways, sno unlike a
pair of doves. Their presence within
he hood has provided the nicknames
adam and Eve" and 'Noah's Ark"
Thus the honey bags are carefully
tucked away and protected.-Chicago
Tribune.

in Peru.

According to social usage, women in
Peru cannot attend funerals, and they
do not appear at weddings unless they
are very intimate friends. When a
funeral procession passes through the
streets the coffin is carried upon the
shoulders of the p~allbearers, who are
followed by an empty hearse drawn by
two. four or six horses, according to
the means of the mourners and their
desire for display. All he male mem
bers of the family and friends Of the
decease follow on foot, with a line Of
empty carriages behind them. AS long
as they are in the presence of the dead
it is considered a proper and necessary
evidence Of respect to walk. After the
body has been committed to the grave
those who attend the funeral are
brought home in carriages.

DISCOVERIES Ar KNossos.
Results of ths Recent Excavations
by DIR. Evans in Crete.

Results of the Recent Excavations
by DR.. Evans in Crete.
May I beg q little space to inform
those interested in Cretan exploration
of a series Of discoveries lately made
at knossos? says a writer in the Lon
don Times. The news from DR.. Evans
Is exceedingly good. He has been
working all the season in the large
house which lies to the west Of the pal
ace, but unfortunately is deeply buried
under the talus of a hill. With great
labor DR.. Evans has now reached the
further limit Of this building, and on
his way has found much..A magnificent
steatite vase in the shape of a bulls
head. with inlay of cut shell about the
nostrils and with crystal %eyebails, the
iris being painted ON the back of the
crystal, reveals to us d new technic.
In another quarter, on the north, a
great hoard Of bronze implements and
utensils, including a large tripod caul-
dron in perfect preservation, will much
increase our knowledge Of the finer do
nestle apparatus of Minoan ciyiliza-
ton. As DR.. Evans speaks Of having
unearthed a great number of early
vases with these tools there should be
no difficulty in dating the latter and
thereby getting standard forms.
On the south of the palace a range
of buildings has been found at a lower
level, largely buried under debris of the
palace itself. The latter included a
mass of ivory fragments, the remains
of carved Baskets and of fresce paint
ings. Inside the south building itself,
under a staircase, a small hoard of sill
yer vessels bas come to light--some
bowls and a jug. These will be vel
coined as first fruits Of that work in
precious metals which so greatly infiu-
eneed the ceramic artists of the middle
Minoan periods, but has generally dis
appeared. We hear, too, of fine vases
OF various kinds, one with papyrus
plant ornament In relief and others in
the best palace style" Work Is also
proceeding actively on the restoration
the royal apartments on the east
Of the palace, and every effort Is being
made to get into the great dome tomb
found last year and to find other tombs.

High RnchinH.

The new plaitings and frills at the
top of boned stocks are growing higher
than ever. There seems no limit to
what can be done, in the height of the,
collar and the size Of the hat. Very
few faces can stand as much ruching
as tile fashion prescribes, but these are
til" very faces that will wear 1T. While
tl,c small, plated frill is pretty, the
extra large one is not. Remember al
ways to have the stock very high If you
wear one of these ruchings. Nothing is
uslier than the tight stock that is an
iieeli too low, with the plating that
droops over it's edges.
