Mohave County miner., 1915-04-24
Wonderful Mineral Region
 is MOhave.

the county of MOhaVe. You may De mislead by reading of the great strike of ore in the United Eastern and Tom Reed that that district is the only one in this county, but glimpse into the vast field of naturalization that ex- tends from the eastern boundary of the county to the Colorado river, and from the Utah line on the north to Bill Will Hams Fork on the south, will convince you that you have but to name your mineral that you may have it put with in your reach in the mines of that vast area. Four distinct chains of moun- tains traverse the county from north to south, the interlying valleys taking up but small part of the space between the ranges. And in every one of these ranges mineral is to be found. There is not one of the mountains that does not have it's veins of gold, and every one of them carry silver, lead, copper, zinc, and others of the metals, while some of them carry values in tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, antimony, bis muth and various others of the rare minerals.
 With railroad facilities the Mc- Cracken mine world be as great as the Bunker Hill and Sullivan, as it is as like it in the character of its ore as two peas. This mine lies in what is known as Owen mining district, which forms the boundary line along Bill Williams Fork, on the south end of the county. In the district has been found the rich est silver ore taken from mine. That was the days of the old Rawhide. Gold was found in the Kimble mine and at the Esther and Cleopatra, and in these veins also was found copper of good grade. The district is rich in ores, but the distance to railroad puts it out of the running. The McCracken is lead and silver bearing and the veins are very large.
 To the north in the Aubrey, Cedar Valley, Wauba Yuma and Maynard districts, bisecting the Wallapai noun tains. Every one of these districts are rich in useful and precious minerals. The Aubrey district is mentioned else where. The Cedar district has a variety of minerals and should become one of the large producers of the county. The deepest shaft in that part of the mountains is the San Francisco, this being now at a depth of about 700 feet. The mine is rich in gold and sill yer, and also carries values in lead and copper. Along the range in the other districts are the old Arnold, Congress, Berkely, Echo, Montezuma, Carr, the molybdenite-copper mines of Deluge and Copper Canyons, Copperville mines of the Arizona Southwestern Copper company, the old Hibernia, the Copper World and Antler copper mines, the Sperl tungsten mines, the American Flag, Great Eastern, Antelope, Dean, Banks, Jackman, Enterprise, Last Chance and hundreds of other most in- viting mining propositions. The whole mountain is gridironed with veins of mineral-bearing ores. The range as a whole is we'll watered and the higher attitudes have produced much excellent timber.
 In the Aquarius mountains are veins of silver, gold, tungsten and bismuth. One of the largest veins in the county is situated in this range of mountains the old Burro and Telegraph. While this range has not been thoroughly prospected it is known to contain splen- did bodies of ore. In the broken range to the north of the Aquarius, on what is known as the Cottonwood range, is situated the Copper Giant and other mines. The district has not been prospected, but in small circle of the broken hills have been found some won- derful veins of gold, silver and copper ores. Along the Cottonwood creek, in the early days, considerable lead ore was taken in the lime deposits. Float rock of great richness in gold was found on the mesas in that section, but no systematic rearch was ever made for the source. Ed. Scheifflin, the dis. coyerer of Tombstone come back time
