Five dollars a ton gold? And six or
seven per cent copper. Yes, a pretty
fair indication.
Twenty dollars gold? And fifteen to
eighteen per cent copper? Why, that'll
be mine yet!
Five hundred dollars gold? And
thirty to forty per cent copper? A
few ounces of silver, too? Well, that
old prospect hole must have something
down in it after all
That's the way they look at things
out in the Harcuvars and Harqua
Halas, thanking Mineral valley, along
the Arizona e California railroad.
High-grad assays - assays that
would start stampedes in Oatman,
Goldfield Tonopah or Cripple Creek
are accepted with amazing calmness
that there in the country tributary to
Salome and Wenden, the country that
Dick Wick Hall, secretary of the Min
eral VaAey Commercial Club, calls the
"Home Of High Grade"
Truly it is a high grade country out
there on the y. q c., but a lonesome
country. neglected country. 1t is
just beginning to feel the first faint
pulsations of the prosperity that has
caused every other mining section in
Arizona to TEEN with activity.
1t takes a tremendously big assay to
create any excitement in the Harcuvars
and Harqua Halas. The desert rats"
and "burro whackers" who have To-
Gated a few Of the most promising sur
face showings in those great ranges are
not in the least excitable. They are
accustomed to high grade but are also
accustomed to having their country ne
elected. Indications are, however, that
their peace and quiet is soon to be dis
turbed, for the Mineral Valley Com
mercial Club has been formed for the
purpose Of advertising the Home of
High Grade" to the world. Oatman,
Los Angeles and Jerome people are
pouring into the country in a steadily
growing stream. Big things are COM
ing. Such country cannot long re-
main unnoticed, neglected and unde-
veloped in this era of mining prosper

made went above fifteen per cent cop

steadily with depth some of the ore
running as high as s65 gold. This
company is preparing to install a hoist

Fifteen men, employed by the Cobrita
company, are now rebuilding the road

Equipment at the Critic includes
twelve-horsepower hoist and six-drill
compressor. The hoist is soon to be
replaced with one of thirty horsepower
and then steady production Of four
carloads a month will be maintained.
Billiards. Mine
East of the Critic is the Dick Billiard
mine which was an important and
regular shipper until recently, when it
was closed down pending the outcome
of a deal. Some of the Billiard ore has
run as high as $4,000 car in gold and
copper.

Porphyry

Porphyry
On a big flat just north of the
Harqua Hala is large area of min
eralized porphyry, the same formation
Mexicans have placered over the flat
for years and recovered much gold. L.
is now held by the Martin brothers
Churn drilling is necessary to prove the
extent and character of the ore. A
shaft sunk in the middle of the flat
shows disseminated ore in the porphyry
that carries from one to five per cent
copper and from 81 to s25 ton in gold.
Tank Pass
Tank pass, through the Harcuvars, is
some seven miles northwest Of Salome.
To the west, on the south side of the
mountains, is the Glory Hole. Through
the pass, on the north side, is one of
the most remarkable mineral conditions
to be found in the state.
Here is a great limestone schist belt,
crosscut by a regular series of diabase
and diorite bikes running in a north
west-southeast direction. These bikes
show up bold and strong and can be
/ seen miles away with the naked eye.
and can be traced for miles. In fact,
this series of bikes extends all the way
from Tank Pass to Cunningham, fiji
teen miles eastward.
The diabase and diorite bikes, in
some places merging into andesite,
seem to have been the principal min
eralizing factor. High grade gold and
copper ores are found on the contacts
with the bikes or in close relation to
them. Dozens of prospects and mines
are being opened up between the two
passes and in all cases they are either
on or near one of the dark basic bikes
that form so prominent a feature OF
the range Surface indications of pay
ore usually consist of either quartz and
iron groupings, or iron stains. Some
times there is copper stain but in the
vicinity of Tank pass the ground is
generally barren right on the surface
A few feet of work usually is suffi-
cient to open ore showing values rang
ing from few dollars>a ton up to sew
eral hundred. The ores of the Harcu-
var range as rule average from five
to 35 per cent copper and from $4 or
IS to $500 ton in gold. The general
character of the ore is the same al
, along the range, except in the lime
stone and schist requirements. Many
large iron outcrops remain untouched
} and the development for the most part
has been confined to lodges and bikes
/ where shipping ore has been found
| within few feet of the surface.

time. Torres had located several new
claims adjoining the Edna May on the
west, which he was convinced far out
classed any of his previous discoveries.
The property now consists of fourteen
full claims and development work is be-
ing confined to the Torres end, al
though several shipments of high-g grade
ore have been made from the old Edna
May shaft. Specimens of gold ore
running above $4,000 a ton have been
taken from the Edna May ledge.
The shaft that is now being sunk is
down sixty feet in soft altered for

bottom and carries a trace of silver.

horsepower compressor have been re-
ceived and are now being installed at
what is to be made the main working
shaft. A Packard truck is used in
freighting to Wenden the ore taken
out in the course of development. Sew
eral shipments that averaged nine per
cent copper and $3.50 in gold, have
been made.
Several strong leads cross the Desert
claims and copper ore shows at many
points on the surface.
Two shafts have been sunk. One
which is down 200 feet, is near the
intersection of two veins. The main
shaft is down IS feet on forty foot
ledge and is all in ore. Some of the
ore that was shipped was taken right
off the surface about ten feet from the
collar of this shaft.
! 1t is planned to timber the main
shaft. while the hoist and compressor
are being installed. All this will be
done in about two weeks and then the
work of sinking to depth will be rushed
Shipments are to be continued
Mckee Claims
A new company, the Black Reef
Copper, headed by H. L. Willhalm as
president and superintendent, has tax
en- over the C. W. Mckee group of eight
claims adjoining the Desert property or
the south. A twelve horsepower hoist
and other equipment have. been ordered

K. S. & w. holdings on the west. r. :.
R. Mcdonald is superintendent and
the principal owner. New York cap
italists are interested with him and
work has been progressing slowly but
steadily for years.
The principal working is an incline
shaft that is down 100 feet in gold
copper ore. A ninety-foot crosscut from
| the bottom of the shaft passes through
three-foot streak of ore that aver
ages l4.6 per cent copper and $3.50 in
gold. One carload of this ore has been
3shipped and another is to be marketed
soon. Sinking is to be continued. The
twelve horsepower hoist at this prop
erty will eventually be placed with one
of greater capacity.
i On the other end of the property is
the Roy shaft. which is down sixty
4 feet. A 65-foot crosscM from the bot
tom of this shaft passes through six
teen feet of ore that is three per cent
copper and runs SO a ton in gold.
Adjoining the Bonanza on the west is
a property known as the Torres group
because it was discovered by Joe

Belle Crown
Still farther west is the property
known as the Belle Crown. 1t is owned
by the Victor and Belle Grown Mining

THE REAL FARMER.

The real farmer is not the man
who farms solely for the dollars he
can and does make out of his farm,
but rather he is the man who farms
for the love of it and who delights
in the work of the farm. The man
who farms for the dollars he can
get out of the farm for his years la
Dor, has no real love for it, hence as
soon as he has accumulated a suff1-
cheney, he goes into some other line
OF business, leaves the farm for the
city and is no longer a part of the
farm community.
The real farmer is he for whom
farm life and farm surroundings con-
stitute the ideal of human happiness;
the farmer who knows as well how
many children he has as how many
mules, cattle, hogs and bales of cot
ton he has; the farmer who in his
rambles through fields and swamps
delights to find baby calf, colt, lamb
or litter of pigs, and who gets as
much or more satisfaction out Of
this as he would to grasp the price
Of fatted steer; the farmer WHO
finds satisfaction in binding up g
broken leg or giving medicine to &
sick mule or COW; the farmer t.
whom every dog, horse, cat and ever
the chickens will look to, and justly
so, as a friend; the farmer who find:
pleasure in the realization of the fac
that it is a great part of his mission
to help feed the world, and who per
forms this mission as best he can.
This is the type of man that makes
the real farmer and none other.

THE CALL OF HUMANITY.

The call Of humanity resounds all
along back into the dim vista OF
ages, and countless millions of times
has it been heard and responded to.
Back in the garden of Eden Adam
was lonely and forlorn. His spirit
cried for helpmeet, companion to
cheer and comfort him in his loneli>
ness and to help make the life that
was before him worth the living.
God heard his cry and Eve was sent,
a ray of sunshine to brighten his
existence and be his companion. This
was the first call of humanity, and
God in his boundless love responded.
So it has been all along down the
corridors of time. Humanity has
called and humanity has answered.
Time, however, has wrought its
changes, and in this day of modern
civilization the cry of humanity must
be loud and even then it is not heard
as readily as in days of yore. We are
prone to selfishness and neglect. Our
hearts do not pulsate with love for
humanity as it should, hence in this
day when some act of unselfishness
and self sacrifice reaches our ears,
our hearts are made to thrill and re-
joice that there are still some who
are willing to respond to needs of hu-
rnanity. A Georgia boy has recently
set us an example of absolute unself-
Ishness and self sacrifice that is at
once heroic and sublime in its beauty.
The incident to which we refer
happened in Atlanta. Judge Pope, a
Federal judge in New Mexico, was in
hat city ill, nigh unto death. A trans
fusion of blood was needed to make
aim well man again. A plea went
,Crth for the blood of some strong
rigorous person. Taylor Mitchell, of !
Thomas county, heard humanities
all and responded. A test was made
md his blood was found sufficient
lnto the need. Without consulting
With his parents this young man,
With great and noble heart submit
ed to an operation and his strong
,oung blood was pumped into the
'eins of the dying judge and his life
vas saved
The fact that neither of the men
Knew each other makes of the self
sacrifice an incident of more than
ordinary interest and is deserving of
more than passing notice. Taylor's
friends all over the state are proud
If his heroism, and the whole world
lpplauds his magnanimous spirit.

THE SUMTER-DOOLY BRIDGE.

The developments of the proposed
steel bridge over the Flint river at
Murray's ferry are interesting, espec-
tally as to the attitude of the two
counties.
Assuming that the Vienna News
voices the sentiments of the Dooly
commissioners and the people, their
attitude and remarks are pertinent to
the subject, and we herewith re-
produce several comments from their
paper of the current week:
Information has gone out to the eff
feet that the erection of bridge over
Flint River at Murray's Ferry is now
altogether dependent upon whether
Dooly county is willing to share one
half the expense of the entire struc-
ture The, impression that has gone
out from what has been given to the
press in regard to this has ten
dency to put Dooly in the wrong
light The commissioners of the two
counties, Messrs Johnson, Daniel
and Rylander, of Sumter, and Messrs.
Ford, Lester and Walton, of Dooly,
met last Tuesday at the Ferry to
counter with each other in regard to
this matter. The reason the plans
were not definitely arranged was be-
cause the representatives of the two
counties could not agree upon the
question of sharing the expense of
the structure. A larger part of the
river swamp lies on the Sumter side
of the river and the Sumter officials
want steel structure approach
which of course would greatly in
crease the cost of erection. The Dooly
commissioners contended that it was
only fair for Dooly to bear the ex-
pense of constructing the bridge from
the Dooly side to the center of the
river. The other commissioners were
not willing to meet them at that point
so the discussion closed with affairs
in this shape. Although it has been
announced that the construction of
the bridge is now up to Dooly, the
commissioners of Dooly say it is al
together up to Sumter and that Dooly
is ready with the cash to pay for her
half of the structure.
"Of course it is Sumters misfor-
tune that she has more swamp land
OH her side of the river than Dooly

At best, the commissioners of the

two counties are far apart 1t is sin

bridge at Murray's ferry would be
of great benefit to both counties, ant
it is readily admitted by the actions
of the two counties in going as far as
they have in the matter.
