Death Valley Chuck-Walla
Seeking the Mother Lode
The Mohawk of Greenwater is a
name that local mining men are using
when they speak of a series of gigantic
Andesite dykes that have a beginning
in the two Gold Crown claims belonging
to the Schwab mine and extending
in a southeasterly direction. These
dykes cut through the Red Boy claims, the Saratoga
claims and the property of the Greenwater Copper Mining
Company. Across a flat two miles wide these great
dykes relppear again on the property of thq Greenwater
Consolidated, owned by the Schwab interests.
In the flat between these Andesite dykes is lying what
is believed to be the treasure chest of the Funeral range.
Here diamond drills have been set to work by the Greenwater
Brokerage Company, and the search for the Mohawk
of Greenwater has been commenced. Local mining
men, men who know the copper deposits in the Funeral
range like a book, have taken an interest in this search
for the mother lode. That there is such a lode of copper
ore in the Funeral range is the firm belief of every prospector,
and from indication it would appear that these
Andesite dykes mark the course which it follows. If
this be so the proper place to look for It is in this flat, and
if it exists the men who are now looking for it will be
sure to disclose it. They have nerve, they have capital
and they employ brains in the use of both.
