Mohave County miner., 1910-01-08

During the year just past the posit-
ion of mining in the worlds activities
has been accentuated to a marked
degree. Throughout the country the
mining has furnished the greater part
of the business of railroads and public
carriers, the actual percentage being
nearly seventy, as compared with the
thirty per cent of all other traffic. 1t
would appear to US that with this
great traffic a bureau of mines or a
secretary of mines would be a neces-
sity under our government, and that
our congress should take measures TO
place mining on a plane with agricul-
ture in the Nations cabinet. Mining
has brought to the people a high civil
lizing influence, opened new worlds,
blazed trails over burning sands, pene-
trated the wilderness. and brought
manifold blessings TO all humanity.
For investment it is safer than agri-
cultural pursuits, and those engaged in
it are freer from the antagonisms of
trade than any other business. Its
money is clean, and every dollar pro.
duced adds to the wealth of the world.
Judge Doe this week handed down a
decision in the matter of Thomas
Brannock and T. E. McClelland against
J. NJ. Miller and others, confirming
title to all but one of the Union Pass
claims in the plaintiff. Defendants are
given one of the disputed claims.
Major McClelland now intends to be-
gin active development of the proper
ties, having the ma ter of finance well
in hand. The mines are situated at
what is known TO all old timers of the
county as Meyers Well, about six
miles from the Colorado river, on the
old Hardyville DAD. The vein is one
of the largest mineral bearing body
in the county and is said to carry good
values in gold.
Policeman Jack is just in from his
mining claims, near Boulder Springs,
six or seven miles south of Kingman,
where he completed the annual work
on the properties. He reports that ne
has a fine showing of ore, the pay
seteak being about fifteen inches wide.
Although no mornings have been made
of the ore the Indian believes il is
quite rich, the iron showing all
through the rock, the usual indication
of good ore in that Sc ,tion. Mrs.
Mary Sweeny is interested with JACK
in the mines.

tai Of Young Man Who Had
Brilliant Future Before
Him.
FROM ULCERATED TOOTH
Was Son Of Rev. DR.. Charles Henry
Moscrip and Served for Five
Years in United States
Marine Corps.

Born in Keokuk thirty years ago
and just beginning a successful news
paper career, Charles Moscrip died
last Friday in Rochester, N. Y. He
will be remembered by many here.
The following from the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle of Saturday,
tells of his death:
There died yesterday afternoon at /
o'clock at the Homeopathic hospital,
Charles Bell Moscrip, who, despite the
briefness Of his career, stood in the
front rank of Rochester newspaper |
men. He had been i'll just week,
and he died of blood poisoning from
an abscess in his throat which. devel- |
oped from an liberated tooth. He is |
survived by his wife, who was Miss
Elsie Seymour of this city, to whom
he was married February q, 1909. HIS
other relatives in Rochester include
| his mother, grandmother, sister and
brother.
Mr.. Moscrip was born in Keokuk,
Iowa, April II, 1880, the eldest son OF
Rev. Charles Henry Moscrip, D. D.,

L which was no less than a passion witt
:. him, brought him quickly to the front
~ His sincere and loyal good-fellowshil

Dailv Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, H., June S.-Wheat-
Rain quite general over the west and
southwest. Traders are all showing
disposition to await the government
report; market is of saclping char
acter and likely to continue so. With
the rapid reduction of stocks TIE pit
situation is increasingly bullish and
we believe purchases of July wheat
on soft spots will eventually result in
handsome profits.
Corn-Weather conditions more sat
isfactory but not entirely favorable for
the new crop. Complaints have been
numerous and are still coming in. 1t
seems altogether probable that the
corn area will be short. Bulls have
had a hard Jolt and are slow to take
hold again, but we feel that purchases
of September corn on soft spots will
result profitably.
Oats-Liberal rains and compare
| lively low temperatures are keeping
the crop backward. Nothing has been
heard from oats for July shipment and
i it is reasonably certain that July oats
will be old crop which, with rapidly
decreasing stocks makes it look as
though the long side of July on the
soft spots would be profitable.

CHARGES AGAINST Patent Medicines

Most of the charges against patent
medicines as class have no founda-
ton in fact and are manifestly I'M
fair and unjust.
There are large number of stand
ard remedies like Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound used in thous-
ands of American Homes which have
saved hundreds of dollars to families
who could not afford to consult a
physician, and they have answered the
purpose equally as well.

Money Saved Through Anty Drudge.

Mrs. Youngoe lat telephone) Hello Harry, you don't
need to order those new tablecloths and napkins at
Blashmans after all. Anty Drudge came in this
morning and showed me how Fels-Naptha soap
would take the stains out of the old ones They're
as clean and white as new now"
A usy asn
thing you wash will wear so much longer. It'll save
your health and beauty, too.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1910-06-08

Stains are the great trial Of woman
who does the family wash in the old way.
Coffee stains, fruit stains, egg stains, occa-
sonally blood stains, and many others which
defy all ordinary soaps and hard rubbing
as we'll In despair, the housewife boils
the clothes until their fibre is softened and
weakened, but even then the shadows Of
the stains remain.
Such stains are easy for Fels-Naptha
soap. They are but minute particles Of
colored matter clinging to threads Of the
cloth The Fels-Naptha dissolves them
into tiny atoms which can't cling to any
thing. A rinsing separates them from the
clothes entirely. The stain is gone, leav-
ing the clothes clean, white and pure.
And mind you, all this is done in cold or
lukewarm water, without boiling or hard
rubbing. Fels-Naptha does not in the
slightest degree harm the fibre Of the cloth
as boiling does No other soap, no matter
what it is called, will take out stains with
out boiling. Be sure to get the genuine
Fels-Naptha. Itcomes in the red and green
wrapper.
