mines of the world. It is in this great
belt that all the big copper mines of
Arizona, Mexico, and Nevada are
situated. Through Mohave county the
deposition of copper is not as general
as in the other localities, but gold and
silver appear TO predominate to a
marked degree. Millions in gold and
silver have been produced in this
great belt in the past twenty years in
Arizona and Mohave county has been
one of the most persistent producers
of them all, especially in gold and sill
yer. And yet the mines of this county
have not been more than scratched
over, the deepest shaft being not more
than 700 feet below the collar.
To the DrOspector it offers a field
rich in possibilities. Only TO a small
extent have the various districts been
prospected over, leaving miles of VIII
gin mountain yet TO be searched over
for its treasures of gold and silver.
Along the mountain ranges have been
found float rock rich in gold and sill
yer, the veins whence it came never
having been found. The Cerbat range
has many such places, while there are
lost mines throughout the other parts
of the county too numerous TO mention
But aside from the possibility of find
ing the rich pockets that gave of the
float found years ago, there are un-
dOubtedly more veins TO discover than
have ever been found. Miles and
miles of the Wallapai mountains have
never been trod by the foot of a hu-
man being and the north part of the
Blue Ridge is practically an unknown
region. And throughout the region
prospecting can be carried on all year
around without hindrance from wealth
er conditions.

The Tom Reed, Gold Road and Ruth
are now the only mines in the district,
or rather the south end of the district,
that are producing, the Frisco Mines
q Power company, being the only pro-
ducer in the north end. These four
properties have milling plants and are
capable of turning out large monthly

with the introduction of cheaper pow
er the big veins of lower grade ores
might be made profitable.
In the Wallapai district a number of
mines are now producing. The ores
are base, carrying galena, copper, zinc,
and other metals, besides gold and
silver. Among these is the Tennes-
see, where a big shaft has been sunk
to the 700 level and the vein cut at
that depth. Shipments are being sent
to the company's smelter at Needles,
about forty tons going out daily.
This ore is heavy lead, carrying fairly
good values in gold and silver. The
mine is owned and operated by the
Needles Mining & Smelling company,
a subsidiary company of the United
States Smelling, Refining & Mining
company. This same big corporation
is the owner of the Banner, at Stock

An Omission.

Last week the MINER published a
review of the new officers and in doing
so failed TO mention one of the most
important Of the officers Of the county
the County Superintendent of
Schools. Charles Metcalfe is the new
officer Mr. Metcafe has been idenIi-
fed with educational matters during
his life since early manhood and is in
every way qualified for the position.
II is safe to say that during his ad
ministration of the Office the school
system of the county will be bettered
and extended. II will be his ambition
to build up high schools wherever pos
sible and establish a more extensive
system of public schools throughout
the mining camps and rural districts.

fit Of public school education.

ton Hill, where a deep shaft has been
sunk, and whence an aerial tram con-
veys the ores to the big bins in the
level plain at the foot of the mountain.
This mine has been shipping from
thirty TO fifty tons daily the past six or
eight months, the ore averaging about
35S per ton in gold. silver and lead.
The same parent corporation owns the
Gold Road mines, holding them under
the name of the Gold Road Mines COM
pany.
tits the advent of this big corporation
that has attracted many investors, al
though it was the big output of ores
that attracted this corporation in the
first instance. The company has been
getting good results from its invest
ments and it is probable that 1t will
get in deeper. The company is one of
the largest mining corporations in the
United States, having properties in
many of the states and the Republic
of Mexico. Its management is the
best that good judgment and money
can get, and its investments in Mohave
county were made only after thorough
investigation of the properties.
Possibly there is no region on the
face of the earth where there is a
greater diversity of minerals than in
Mohave county. Every range of
mountains has its peculiarity Of
mineral deposition, although the Wal
lapais and Cerbats are much alike in
the general character of its minerals,
the Wallapais being exceptional only
in its ores of tungsten and mOlybden-
ite. Every part of the Cei bat range.
from the volcanic cliffs surrounding
Kingman on the south TO the rocky
gorge of Boulder Canyon of the Colo
RADIO river on the north, is gridlroued
with veins bearing gold, silver, cop
per, lead, zinc, antimOny, arsenic,
lead tungstate, big bodies of chrome
iron, and other minerals, and the
same is true Of the Wallapais. Along
the Blue Ridge. the great rage
bordering the east bank of the Colo
RADIO river, the minerals are confined
to gold, silver and copper, with here
and there small strata of lead. The
Aquarius mountains bear gold, silver,
some copper tungsten, and bismuth.
The Peacock range, detached part
of the Aquarius, carries gold. silver
and lead. The Grand Wash cliffs,
known locally as Music mountains,
carries gold, silver and copper. In
the north part of the county these
same cliffs carry high values in copper
with some gold and silver.
Three great chains of mountains ira
verse the county from north TO south,
the naturalization being general from
the valleys on the west to the valleys
on the east. These great chains of
mountains are in the great mineral
belt that has been mapped by the geo.

which extends from Alaska To Mexico,

At the primary election, Nils

Each had six tallies to their credit

The law provides that in cases of n

After they received the notice they
concluded to shake dice, the winner

SOME POTATOES THESE;
IRRIGATED BY PUMPING

Jas. Davis. who is experimenting
in dry farming near Oreana. was
in town over Sunday and gives a
very encouraging statement of
results obtained from pumping
operations this year.
Mr.. Davis has entered l60 acres
of land, situated on the Humboldt
river bottom about ten miles above
town. While this land is not over
ten feet above the level of the
water in The river and is adjacent
to the river banks. it has no water
available for irrigation except by
pumping. This is done from a
large dug we'll and this year g.
inch centrifugal pump has been
used to supply the ten acre patch
under cultivation. Nine acres of
this ground was planted to potatoes
last spring and now a big crop is
being harvested.
Mr.. Davis is positive that the
yield from the nire acres will be
at least 1000 sacks of potatoes
that will sell at two dollars per
sack. being $1,000 income from the
nine acres, ,and this is on a home
stead on THE Great American
Desert"
This fall Mr.. Davis expects to
put twenty-five acres additional in
to rye. and to put a much larger
pump in, ready for next seasons
pumping. The outcome of these
operations will be watched with
interest by the many interested in
dry farming here. So encouraging
has ben the result of the first years
experiment. that Mr.. Davis feels
certain that irrigation by pumping
is practicable and profitable and
will get the entire l6O-arces under
as rapidly as possible
