Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-10-07

eAmong the gold fields of the United (tates that of the Blue Ridge range
 Mohave county is fast assuming Fst place. Since the civil war days bld has been mined in this range of fountains, and today two of the large spducers of the yellow metal are
 eding forth their monthly output to
 g hints. For nearly 20 years the
 m Reed has been a producer of gold nd since the 1st of January, 1917, the Spited Eastern has passed all other old mines in this country in it's out g1t of gold and rate of dividend pay 6ents. In four years it has returned
 it's shareholders approximately 100000 in dividends and has ex-
 scted from it's ores close to $10,000,- Do. The Goldroad, lying to the north the United Eastern, has produced approximately $9,OOO,O0O, and still has everal hundred thousand tons of pay

gressive and the troops were recalled to California, the post in this county being abandoned. Later the post was re-established and the soldier boys took up the mining game and familiar ized themselves with the various forms of mining. Only black powder was available and they had a hard time carrying their shafts and drifts below water level. The Moss and the Leland were the first mines discovered and these were producers of high grade ores, but the faulting of the veins dis heartened the miners and they quit when the ore cut out.
 West of Union Pass miners held many claims, one in particular that the writer remembers, was situated to the north of what is now known as the Frisco, where tunnel was driven into a copper bearing vein from the level of a deep canyon. Although this vein has been searched for a great many times it has never been discov Sltu. OIilcI NSlllS III IlltI tIed NClc worked upon, but none of them to our knowledge has been re-discovered. And it is for this reason that we believe that important finds will be made in the territory toward the higher range.
 In the canyon below the Frisco gold float that was immensely rich was picked up, but nothing of the charac- ter of the rock has been found in any of the veins now under development. And so it goes throughout the whole territory. The veins of that region are large and we'll mineralized, and the vein filling appears to be of the same general character throughout the district, being quartz and calcite. As depth is gained the calcite fast dis appears, the quartz showing improve ment in values.
 West of the Colorado river, lying in the foothills of the Spirit mountains,
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-10-07

are many veins of high grade gold ores, the district being a continuation of the Katherine vein system. Some of these veins have been opened to an extent that predicates the same general values as found in the Ari- zona zone. That territory is quite i'm portant, as predicating the opening of a widely mineralized section. In looking down from the vantage point of the high range a person must be instantly impressed with the beauty of the country, with it's pinnacles of highly colored rocks, its deep canyons, with the green lined Colorado river in the distance. And to cap this inter- esting panorama comes to the knoWl- edge that you are gazing on one of the largest gold sections of the United States; that this territory is staging attractions that appeal to all men the lure of gold. It was gold. that brought the adventurous Spaniards into this country and it is the same lure that has made the western hills the objective of every young fellow who has the right sort of blood run ming through his veins; and it is this lure that has weaned the man away from the old farm to make rapid for tune in galnering the gold of the mines, and it will continue through out all time to be more fascinating to man than any other pursuit. On the other hand it is the mines that have made the country, built the railroads, furnished the freight, and stabilized governments. It is the thing that men have fought, bled and died for, and we have it here in such magnificent abundance in these enormous veins that the whole world will respond to the impuse that its production will give.

 During the civil war the first road was built across Union Pass, remnants of this old road still being visible across the hills, mail route estab- lished and a rider put on the route. This was later developed into a stage line that had it's termini at San Ber- nardino, California, and through the then territory of Arizona to Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was during the time the First California regiment was stationed at Fort Mohave that the SOL diers went out and made the discover ies that first attracted attention to the district that is now Oatman. Later these troopers sallied forth as far as the territory near Cerbat and discov- cred the mines there, but their incur sions into the country was short lived, as the Wallapai Indians became az

verted into fertilizer. This fertilizer was being manufactured under a new secret process, the plant extracting nitre from the air and being mixed with the sulphate. It is the opinion that this nitre (saltpetre) has an ex- plosive force in itself, contact with wood, coal or some like substance causing it to heat and explode. Amer ican firms are making fertilizer out of practically the same substances, but so far there have been no explosions, the manufacturers going ahead with

FRANCE REPLACES PAPER
 FRANCS WITH SILVER

One of the most promising reports to the silver miner that comes to us from France is that the government is at work coining silver to replace the 300,000,000 of outstanding paper francs. Already 100000 silver has been converted and more will follow as fast as the government is able to mint the new pieces. It is understood that other European countries are to follow suit, although it has always been the purpose of France to stand in the front ranks of the double standard countries. The French peo- pie have always maintained the right to pay off the public in whatever money she had the most of and could best spare, and this method kept that country at the head of the govern ments of Europe financially.
 Now that France is taking the lead in the acquisition and coinage of sil- yer the other countries must, per- force, protect themselves, in which event silver would go above a dol- lar almost immediately. This week silver made jump of about 4 1-2 cents an ounce on foreign silver, go- ing to the high for this year of T 3-4 cents. Coming on the heels of the French coinage is the report that India is again in the London market for gold. This means that India, having surfeited itself with silver is now willing to trade that commodity for gold. England cannot we'll spare her gold, as the excehquer is quite low in the yellow metal and the de- mands of India may bring on a crisis. This situation can only be relieved by an international agreement for the coinage of gold and silver at proper ratio, the coinage to be universal.

ore in sight. These properties are all
 we'll equipped and are capable of
 turning out millions of dollars every
 year for years to come. South and
 east of the big mines of Oatman are
 other veins that are showing potential
 ore bodies and carrying valuable ores, while to the west and north are some fof the great veins of the country. Such veins as the Mossback, Old Moss, Ruth, Woodrow Wilson group, Ara
 bian, and the great mass of veins in the Secret Pass section. Farther to |the north is the Thumb Butte, the Ara bian, Bonanza, Sheeptrail, Roadside, Revenue, Tyro and the gridironed ter
 ritory surrounding the Katherine. At the present time there is hardly a
 piece of ground between the Colorado
 river and the Sheeptrail that is not kslnder location, yet there is ample op- -pertunity in the higher range and in the abutting hills for the real pros
 pector to go in and get something worth while. All the territory to the north of the Gold Chain and extend- , ing to the Portland Sunshine group is practically a terra incognito. While gold hunters have superficially gone over it, no attempt has even been made to systematically prospect that sec
 ion. It is related by many old timers { that in traversing that country, many years ago, they found gold and silver
 bearing galena ore, but up to date
 there has not been found a vein that
 carries that metal in pay quantity,
 aside from vein that was taken over ksome time ago by James Keezler and
 Charles Metcalfe, and this is situated 1close to the Katherine, while the other purported discovery was made on the
 mesa many miles away. The whole
 country to the north of the Katherine
 is mineralized, many veins producing kigh grade gold and silver ores, some
