The White Hills a Great
Camp.
Destined Soon to Have a Large
Population.

Sixty miles to the north of Kingman,
at the northern point of the Cerbat
range, is the White Hills mining camp,
destined in very few months to have
population of 5000 people. At present
there are fully 1000 people at the White
Hills, all contented, happy and making
money.
A syndicate of Colorado capitalists
has recently invested very heavily in
the Wite Hills district, and the result is
that great deal of development is in
progress. About 400 miners are em-
plo5ed by one syndicate alone, and the
monthly payroll approximates 500 600.
Among the valuable mining properties
in the White Hills are the G. A. R., the
Occident, the Chief of the Hills, the
Horn Silver, the Monster, Shafer's
Treas ure, the Emma and others. All of
these are silver ores, carrying some
gold. In addition to these mines named
there are two very rich claims in the
White Hills-the Prince Albert and the
Relief, owned by Patterson & Rowe.
The Colorado syndicate has for the
trustee and general manager OF its prop
erty in the White Hills r. T. Root, an
experienced mineralogist. e. B. Kirby
is consulting manager and Wayne
Darlington is general superintendent.
The syndicate has already invested
$3.50. 600 in the White Hills and the
property has made very satisfactory
showing.
Rich strikes are daily reported in the
White Hills district. The Blind God
dess is another very valuable claim
owned by II. P. Ewing. The Croudlet,
owned by Conkey & Tyler and Galiger
u Saufley, is also a very rich property.
Mineral Park is "a miles north of
Kingman, on the road to the White.
1t is very good camp and has made
and is making fine mineral showing,
but capital is needed to develop the
several lodes which have been discov-
cred.
On the east side of the Cerbat rarge
OF mountains. Is miles east Of the
White hills district. has been found
some very rich gold ledges. The eli.
mate in that vicinity is fine, and only a
little capital would be required to work
the lodges. This section is known as
the gold basin. Here ia fine 10 stamp
mill, which was erected some time ago,
but it has not been operated for time,
owing to disagreement among it's
owners.
West Of the White Hills, IL miles, are
located the Gold Bug claims which are
owned by Denver capitalists, including
Isaac Blake, R. 7. Crosby and others.
These claims are being extensively
worked. The ore is shipped to The
Needles, where it is put through the re-
duction works. In the Geld Bug dis
trict there is at present lack of milling
facilities.
North of the Gold Bug claims six
miles is Eugene camp, where some very
rich silver ledgeH have been discovered.
Here is Horn Silver claim No. 2, owned
by Mulligan, Smith q Shepperd. There
is great prospect at Eugene camp.
Seven miles north OF here end six
miles from the Colorado river have been
recently made some wonderful discover
les, which have attracted large crowds
of miners and prospectora Free milling
gold has been found, which is intermin-
ged with copper glauce. 1t will run
from $445 to $3.50 per ton.
1t must be admitted that Mojave
county has more mineral than any other
county in the United States and brighter
mineral prospects than any section thet
has recently been reported upon. There
is one thing though that has operated
largely against the development of min
eral property in Moiave county, and
that is this fact Within the last few
years several wildcat mining schemes
have been foated in eastern money CEN
ters, the projectors claiming that the
mines were located in Mojave county.
By means of these bogus schemes
disreputable scoundrels have robbed
eastern people out of many thousands of
dollars and given black eye to honest
mineral development in Mojave county.
The feeling of distrust which has existed
in the east in the past, though, has
largely died out. This result has been
attained bv the excellent showing that
the mines of Mojave county have made
recently in the way OF dividends.
