Post City, Texas, Now Ten
Years Old, FulfiIls Dream
Of Famous NaInesake
By A. L. Miller
Editor and Manager, the Enquirer

A"i'"A emu -hahdSeI, the EHqulre
News, Battle Creek, Mich.
The vision and energy which estab-
lished list of now familiar Ameri-
can products in the markets of the
world, through judicious advertising
also turned two hundred thousand
acres of raw western prairie land in
to a populous farming community and
built as its capital a thriving mod
ern city
There was observed in West Texas
a short time ago a unique ceremony
which attested one of the triumphs of
national manufacture and national ad-
vertising
Post City, Texas, had its first fall
festival last fall, and laid the foun-
dations of an annual West Texas ex-
position. There were present and par
ticipating all the $500 inhabitants of
Post City, and the farmers of the
fruitful country surrounding. They
celebrated the fact that they have
one of the best and most modern cot
ton mills in the United States; city
with "all the modern conveniences, !"
and country whose richness in agri-
cultural resources is fully established.
1t was the tenth anniversary of the
beginning of things.
Ten years ago Post City was an
open cattle range, and the great "cap
rock" of the Texas high plains look
ed down on a wilderness broken only
by an occasional ranch house and wind
mill tower.
There has been worked out in West
Texas the fulfillment. of dream of
home making, which was dominat
ing purpose in the life of the late G.
w Post, manufacturer Of cereal foods.
Reads Like Romance.
There is a strong element of rom
ance in the business story of Mr..
Post, in that he built his great for
tune after middle age, when his life
had been despaired of by the best

financial reverse5 had combined with
failing health to add to the causes of
discouragement.
His first sure returns from business
were devoted to the easy payment

Those who ares strong enough to do
so should help others to stand on their

the influence or the power of one be

Mr.. Post purchased total of 2lS,-

A Sign Board Needed

A travelling man who comes tt
Benson frequently says he hap
pened to be going through on the
train the other day, and observed
that there was quite little curios
ity on the part of some of the pas
sengers regarding Benson and the
country around. He says there
happened to be no one present
other than himself able to give any
information on the subject. which
he did to the best of his ability
He suggested that it would be {
good idea in his opinion to put ur
a board in some position where il
could be readily seen, containing
information likely to be of interes
to settlers climate, rainfall
farm land, etc.
The suggestion is a good one
and would not be an expensive un
dertaking.

REPORT OF pROpERTY OF DOS CA
BEZAS GOLD RIDGE MINING
CORPORATION
The property consists of seven
full mining claims and one frac-
tional claim, known as Gold Ridge,
Gold Ridge No. /, Gold Ridge No.
2, Juno No. /, East Juno, West
Juno and North Juno.
TITLE
l made no effort to investigate
the title but was assured by the
vice-president of the corporation
that the title was perfect.
LOCATION
The property is located sixteen
miles from Wilcox, Arizona, and
two miles from the terminus of the
Mascot & Western Railroad, and
adjoins the Mascot mining proper
ty on the south.
TOPOGRAPHY
The topography of the property
consists of several low hills and a
long high ridge with deep can
yon cutting the property at the
base of the ridge. the ridge rising
some FIVE hundred feet above the
bed of the canyon.
GEOLOGY
The geology of the property is
very simple, the country rock be-
ing granite and scl1ist, cut with a
large quartzite dyke and numerous
quartz veins.
NATURALIZATION
The entire property is highly
mineralized, all the quartz and
quartzite carrying values in gold
and silver
WATER AND MILL SITE
There is a natural mill site on
the property, and plenty of water
for all mining aud. milling pur-
poses.
DEVELOPMENT
There has been about 1900 feet
of work done on the property, con-
sisting of shafts, tunnels, drifts
and winzes. The principal ore vein
cuts the long ridge near the center
in an easterly and westerly direc-
ton. Near the west end OF this
ridge there is tunnel 700 feet in
length, cutting the vein at a depth

of 400 feet below the outcrop, show
ing the vein to be four feet in
width at this point. Near the east
end of the property on the Henry
Clay claims, owned by Mr.. Balm,
there is tunnel cutting the vein
at the same depth and shows it to
be "a feet and 4 inches in width at
that point, which practically blocks
a vein of ore varying in width from
four feet to thirty-four feet for a
distance of 1850 feet across the
property with an average depth of
400 feet This vein carries values
of from $12 to $50 per ton, and
will average better than $50 per
ton, and as the vein widens aud in
creases in values from the surface
to the 400 foot level, it is reason
able to expect both increased val
ues and tonnage at greater depth.
There are seven other veins On
the property running into the main
vein from the northeast, north and
northwest. varying in width from
few inches to FIVE feet and carry
ing values of from $50 to $500 per
ton. Considerable work has been
done opening up these small veins.
Cut of a large number of samples
taken from the property the lowest
assay was $2.24 and the highest
was 81 ,o12.44.
VALUE
I estimate there to be 100000
tons of ore blocked out that can be
mined and placed on the dump
without hosting a pound, that has
a gross value of $22, 500, 900.
COST OF MINING.
The cost of mining will be about
the same as it is in other camps of
Arizona.
RECOMMENDATIONS
l recommend that a tunnel be
driven from a point near the north
west corner of the West Juno claim
in a southerly direction to where it
will intersect the main vein of ore
near the west end of the West Juno
claim. By driving your tunnel
from this point you will cut the
vein about $50 feet below the out
crop and will drain the water from
your works above that point. |
would then cross cut the vein and
run a raise to the surface. Also
sink from that point. One hun
dred feet below the point where
you intersect the vein you will en-
counter large bodies of high grade
copper, which will be a large asset
to your already wonderful ore
body.

day of March, 1917.

Amateur Sport FlourlSheS
In the Mexican Capital

Mexico City, Aug. l0.-That anna
teur sport is Aourishing in the Mexi-
can acpital is shown by the fact that
there are l02 organized amateur base
ball mines in the city and its suburbs
and over fifty soccer foot bali teams.
The season for all varieties of sport
in Mexico lasts twelve months a
year, as the climate permits play at
all times. Even during the rainy sea-
son the mornings are almost always
clear and sunshipy and the nature of
the soil and the high dry atmosphere
makes delay on account oi wet
grounds almost unknown. ..
No regular league series are play
ed by the base ball clubs but short
series between three or more selected
teams are arranged from month to
month. The games usually are played
Sunday morning or on feast days and
holidays and as a general things no
admission is charged.
Many of the larger athletic clubs
and colleges and professional schools
have three or four. teams each, the
first team drafting players from the
lesser teams as they are developed.

HAIL HARRY GREB
As NEXT CHAMPION
Pittsburgh Experts Declare the

the Peer of Mike
Gibbons.

In the middle west they are hailing
Harry Greb OF Pittsburgh city as the
next holder of the middleweight
championship, Since the deatl, OF Les
Darcy the title has unanimously been
awarded to Mike Gibbons, but in the
smoky city they declare that Greb
will take the crown away from the
"St. Paul Phantom" the first time
that Gibbons agrees to give him a
return bout.
Recently Greb outpointed Dillon
in ten fast rounds in Pittsburgh, and
ever since the experts in Pittsburgh
have been convinced that Greb can
take Gibbons into camp" Gibbons
and Greb met some time ago in
Philadelphia and ever since, it is
charged, Gibbons has been side step.
ping another meeting with the Pitts
burgh middleweight., 1t is admitted
that Greb is not as cleyer as Gibbons;
that he cannot box in the same class
with Gibbons, but it is contended that
Creb's aggressiveness and his speed
will discount Gibbons jabbing ability;
il will offset Gibbons left hanb-the
hand THAI has won many big purses
fors Mike.
The arrival of Creb has stirred
bit OF interest in the middleweight
situation, and 1t would not be surpris-
ing II the promoters around the
country started bidding shortly for
such match. 1t is understood that
promoters have already made several
lucrative offers to Gibbons to invade
the smoky city to meet Its favorite,
but that Mike has stubbornly refused
TO consider any OF the offers.

Cardinal Park Haven for
HurIerS With Quick Throw

Observations of an umpire are al.
ways interesting as throwing new
angles on things that come up in
baseball. Here is one by Umpire Pete
Harrison of the National league:
Il have never looked up any figures
on the matter" he said, recently. but
it is my belief that more runners are
caught mapping off first base in the
Cardinals park than on any other
grounds in the league. II this is So
it is because of the nature of the soil
around the bag. The ground at this
particular spot is soft, and gives
easily, so that it does not afford a
runner good footing. A man takes q
long lead off, the pitcher throws to
the bag, the runner digs back and the
soil gives way with him, delaying hin,
for a fraction of a second, just long
enough for the first baseman to put
the ball on him.

Vulnerable occasions, and | know oi
