Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-04-19

Mention of the Apache Trail lon- jures pictures of the dim and distant past. It recalls the time when the rugged frontiersmen were the only tourists. Astride their sinewy cayuses they were won't tr lope ziong the dusty and rock-strewn paths in search of the illusive yellow metal. Or perched upon the seat of lurch- ing prairie schooner they surveyed the country for suitable desert farm.
 In striking contrast to this har- assed mode of travel, a Goodrich touring party recently made the trip over the Apache Trail. They were bolstered by the luxurious upholstery of an automobile, equipped with Goodrich tires. Although the road is exceedingly rough in many spots, the party did not experience any of the inconvenience to which autoists are usually subjected from tire trou- ble. 'f'.

though it is distinctive in the fea- ture of the "Sculptured Indian" rock, is a sample of some of the scenery and picturesque formations to be seen on long stretches of the Apache Trail. Although not to be compared in immensity to the yawn- ing chasms in the Grand Canyon, the formation is similar in many places and gives the same softened and changing hues with the dawn ing and dying day.
 It was along this same Apache Trail in the early days that the Red Men lurked in the hills and gulches and emerged from their mountain strongholds to attack the unwary prospector and make war on the peaceful Maricopas.
 Visitors and tourists to Arizona should not fail tc take in the beau lt ties of the scenery along the Apache Trail, and the travel along this road will undoubtedly be greatly increased after the improvements are complet- ed by the State Government.

would cause great hardships among the men who have been in their em- ploy for a long time, who have been encouraged to build their own homes, and would throw large number of men out of employment, thus greatly disturbing the industrial situation of the country at large.
 With the exception of the mines Of Jerome, which were closed on ac- count of strike, and which have not reopened, and the Shannon Copper Co. which went out of business, the mines of Arizona have not closed, and and have not disturbed the labor situ- ation to any extent. They have had to curtail production, as practically no copper is being sold, and consequently to cut down their working force, but in doing this, have laid off practically all single men.
 With the curtailed production, it has not been possible to keep on produ- cton all of the men who have been

old Indian war path.

Winding among precipitous and unusually picturesque formations, the road affords much of interest to the tourist
 When it is improved in accordance with the program which the State Government of Arizona has laid out, it will provide an excellent road through a country rich in scenic beauty of striking. and unusual type, and will undoubtedly attract many thousands of tourists from all parts of the United States.
 Along one portion of the road, the Goodrich touring party passed what is known as the "Sculptured Indian" rock. This rock shows the profiles and figures of Indians, and is fan tistically and picturesquely colored. It is one of the show places to which the people of'Arizona are proud to conduct their tourist friends, and entertain them with sights unmatched in any other part of the country.

NEVADA'S GREATEST MINES STILL HOLD
 THE TRADE BOARDS

Interest is steadily growing in the Divide district, the new mining sensa tion in Nevada. The excitement is in- tense and while trading in the shares of the companies operating in the new district is confined largely at the pres ent time to Nevada, the Pacific coast and the New York Curb markets, it will eventually take on the proportions of the nationwide buying that devel- oped during the Goldfield and Tono- pah boom days. The immense body of silver-gold ore in the Tonopah-Divide mine and the lesser discoveries made to date in other properties of the Di- vide district have all the earmarks of another Comstock lode, which put Vir- ginia City on the map and enriched the nation to the extent of around $7OO,OO0,OOO. San Francisco has pleas ant recollections of the Comstock lode and of the many fortunes made by California men operating on that big bonanza. San Francisco is the center for trading in shares of the Divide district today, just as it was the big center for trading in the shares of the Comstock just after the Civil war. Brokerage houses in San Francisco have been taxed to keep pace with the rush of orders for Divide shares.
 The Divide district, was during the Tonopah- -Goldfield boom days, known as the Gold Mountain district. There was, in the early days, stampede to Gold Mountain from Tonopah, but the camp was deserted and forgotten ex- cept by few old-timers when the wonderful Mohawk find was made in the Goldfield district. Later on pros pectors opened small bodies of ore and one shipment of 800 tons of SIS ore was sent from the camp. More re- gently, Cal Brougher an old-time min ing man of Nevada, decided to under take systematic exploration of the dis trict. His main work was started in April of 1917 and it was usually a nip and tuck struggle to meet the pay roll, Many of the miners had more faith in Brougher than they had in the mine. Work was scarce and the min CTS were willing to take part of their wages in stock at and 10 cents per share. These same miners today could realize around $1O per share for their stock, which would mean about $56O per eight-hour shift. The per sistent development brought success. Every crosscut that has been driven on this big vein has disclosed more sem sational values.
 There has been a stampede to the Divide district and, lying as it does, between the camp of Tonopah and Geldfield, is we'll situated for rapid development. Every mine was once prospect and the hundreds of prospec- tors whoin the early days tramped over the Divide district on their pill grimage to Goldfield had little idea of the great wealth under foot. Once in about every ten years a new bonan- ga district is developed in America and while pessimists have said that all the real big mines have been discovered, the Tonopah Divide and the new camp of Divide should show how easily they may be mistaken. Today strings of teams are hauling ore out of the district to the mills, and smelters and the new rich camp at Tonopah's very back door has started new mining boom.-Mining Record.

in their employ sufficient time to have establishd their house in the community, and in some. cases, as that of the Copper Queen, development work is being done to give these men employment, which, from financial and economic point of view, is not justified under the present conditions.
 The companies all over the country have agreed to curtail production in order that the world surplus may not become top heavy, and to allow for the demand to catch up to the supply. The real seriousness of the large sur plus stock of copper is in the fact that for the most part it was produced on the maximum basis of cost with the expectation of realizing 26 cents per pound.

UNEMPLOYED MINERS
 IN NEW OCCUPATIONS

Bisbee, April 18-The call of the corn field, the field and stream and the oil fields played an important part in the lives of men leaving the em- ploy of the Copper Queen Branch of the Phelps Dodge Corporation during the month of March.
 Some sought fields to blow.
 Some longed for vacation fields, with fishing and boating. -
 Still others had itching feet for the petroleum fields of Texas.
 In all 90 voluntarily quit the com pany during the month. Of this num- Der 22 quit on account of their own or family sickness, or to visit families, or for vacations.
 Fourteen didn't like mining and were frank about it.
 Twenty eight quit to go into other work, large majority of them with better places into which to step, and nearly all of them with better oppor- tunity in the future.
 The farm called II; the oil excite ment in Texas impelled five to pack up and leave; six failed to return at the expiration of their 30-day fur tough, while fifteen preferred not to give reasons for quitting
 And only one "beat" his board bill, and "beat it".
 How long an organization can keep men employed upon development work and other operations merely for the purpose of giving employment to old employees and returning soldiers, is problematical; in some cases opera tons are being maintained where the cost of producing the copper is great CT than the present selling price.
 The faith of the Arizona producers in the future copper market, upon which so much of the prosperity of Arizona depends, is clearly shown by their attitude in preventing, in so far as it is possible, unemployment.
 Without doubt many of the copper producers in the country would make money by closing down; this, however,

BONUS SYSTEM IN USE

Twenty one hundred and twenty employees of the Copper Queen conn pany completed at least one year of continuous service in January, 1919, and received bonuses amounting to $226,73O. Fourteen hundred and sev- enty three men had completed at least two years continuous service, which entitled them to $11O service bonus.
