Mohave County miner., 1891-07-04


richer bodies Of ore rs depth 10 being OBJ
tained than any discovered near the sur
face.
The company, now being assured Of
vast DO lies OF ore, have ordered first
class ten-stamp mill. The grading
being complete and hundreds OF tons OF
ore on the dump, the erection ot the mill
viii be commenced az soon a. the ma
chinery arrives. From what has been
done with the Kendills for nearly two
years, with all the drawbacks Of opening
up the mine and developing water sources,
great expectations may justly be indulged
ia by the owners in the future prosperity
OF this property.
THE cRRpAr MINE.
This claim is situated about one half
mile northerly from Cerbat. Its crop
pings can be seen at great distance.
THIS is one OF the old mines located by
the original discoverers OF the district in
1884, and who were driven out by the
Indians. 1t is a gold and silver vein and
is prospected TO depth OF 200 feet. This
claim belongs TO the Arizona Northern, u
corporation, with MIR. John
Barry as superintendent. The company
has done nothing practically to develop
the property, and what has been done is
due entirely to the indefatiguable energy
Of Mr.. Barry himself.
Some OF the richest gold ore ever taken
from any mine in this district was taken
from this claim, running up in the thon-
sands. II is the misfortune OF this sec
ton OF Arizona to have eastern corpora
tions formed of wealthy individuals who
advance few hundred dollars as spec
ulation, or to give position and place to
some needy relative, and then dismiss
the subject from their minds, especially
when the first outlay is paid back. Gold
and silver is not grown on trees TO be cut
down it must be dug up. The purchase
Of prospect and its development means
two different things. They are some
times induced TO buy or purchase mine
or prospect, but seldom TO develop one,
hence the many apparent failures, which
give bad name to mining district.
This depression is occasioned by or
through the knowledge of the writer that
the Cerbat mine is only one among many
OF the great possibilities which lie stran-
gled under the weight OF these "Old Men
Of the Sea-"
The Ontario, the Homestake and the
and Ely and many others that
we know OF would share the same late if
this class of eastern corporations would
sit astride OF them,
THE VANDERBILT, IDAHO AND EUREKA.
This group Of mines adjoins the Flores
mine on the east and south, and are in
all respects the counterpart Of the Flores,
being gold veins and on the same belt.
This property belongs to the Western
Mining Company, also a Philadelphia
Considerable work has
been done in developing this property.
Leyeral shafts have been sunk on each,
ranging from rs to $50 feet in depth aud
showing very fine bodies OF ore. From
The Vanderbilt alone, more than s75 900
N gold has been taken by chloriiers.
We are informed that it is the intention
,f the company to erect twenty-stamp
mill on this property, water being in
abundance in the creek within a couple
,f hundred feet. This property when de-
geloped will be one OF the great gold pro-
lucing properties Of Mohave County.
THE TWINS AND BLUE LODE.
These two mines are on the east side OF
Champion Hill and about 1900 feet dis
ant from the Champion mine. They
are similar in nearly every respect TO the
Champion mine, being galens or lead
,eins, carrying about the same quantity
n gold and silver.
There are several shafts sunk on these
,laims from IS TO i20 feet in depth the
'eins are quite large and the groupings
,old and constant. The surface ore is a
Ioft carbonate, becoming more concen-
rated with depth. They are very favor
IDLY situated for reduction, plenty of
water being running out of the mountain
,nly few hundred feet distant.
