Mohave County miner., 1915-04-24

into Utah is what is geographically known as the Grand Wash Cliffs, but locally as Music mountain. Along these cliffs have been found many veins bearing gold and silver. Twenty-two miles north of Blackberry the Nevada Arizona Mines company is operating big group of these gold and silver mines with evident success. And still north of these are the gold mines of Lost Basin, in the same, but broken part of the Grand Wash Cliffs. Some wonderfully rich ore was taken from the surface of the mines in this district. And still in the same cliffs, but north of the Colorado river, are mines that carry copper that cannot be duplicated for its richness anywhere. These mines lie along the west of the Great Hurricane Fault, fault that has it's beginning in old Mexico and extends into Idaho. The mines of the Grand Gulch section have proven so rich that the ores could be hauled by wagon 1SO miles and then shipped by rail to the Salt Lake smelters and leave profit to the miner. And through that great section of country there are many other veins of this rich copper ore.
 The one great district carrying valu- able ores of gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead is the Wallapai. This dis rict in conjunction with Indian Secret and Gold Basin, forms the entire Cerbat chain. Wallapai district is one of the largest mineralized districts of the county, having its southern end at Kingman and reaching to Doling Springs, at a break in the hills, forming Doling Springs Pass. Every foot of this vast stretch of mountain range is scanned and Assured with veins of mineral bear ing ores. For years it's mines sustain ed the government of Mohave county and provided its miners with the means of subsistence. Its mineral veins have world wide regulations. There is not | size or consequence that has not specimen of the ores from the Rural and Buckeye mines at Mineral Parki and thousands of society women of the country are wearing the turquoise gems from it's mines. And not only is Mineral Park, set in it's surroundings of high and craggy mountains, a producer of silver and turquoise, but it is destin- ed to be large producer of copper and gold as well. In the years gone by its Keystone, Lone Star, Rattlesnake, Queen Bee and the wonderful Rural and Buckeye turned out its thousands of dollars in both gold and silver, and there is today some of the best pros poets for copper camp of any section of the state.
 And Mineral Park is not alone in the production of ores. Taking the south end of the district and passing along to the north we find the following mines have been producers: The O'Fallon, Champion, New London, '63, Mocking Bird, Time Check, Cerbat, Flores, Columbus, Fontenoy, Wild Irishman, Little Chief, Prince George, Tiger, Tigress, Cupel, Banner, de la Foun- taine, St. Louis, Golden Gem, Blue Bell, Fountain Head, Miners Hope, Blackfoot, Golconda, Orc Plata, Mexi- can, Prosperity, The Gold, Balloon, Little Boy, Nighthawk, Vanderbilt, Alpha, c. o.
