Mohave County miner., 1898-12-24

tains abound, can be profitsbly worked
Tue lead ores Of the several mining dis
tric,s can be concentrated or matted for
shipment to smelling points as can also
the low grade ferriferous gold and silver
ores. South oil Mineral Park are many
veins OF ore in which iron in pyrtic form
is carried to high percentage. All these
ores can be worked by electrical pro
cesses now in successful operation in
other parts OF the inter mountain mining
states and territories. The Cincinnati
vein is one OF these big hodies Of ore
wherein iron is the predominant metal
II this one could be matted the product
could be profitably shipped to the smei
ter, but 10 its present state little can be
done with it. IL is so OF many other
claims in this district, the heavy per
centsge Of iron preclnding the shipment
of ores to smelling centers. But all
mines Of w tllapai district are not iron
bearing to the extent Of exclusion from
shipment and these properties are being
worked for their gold and silver. The
Nighrhawk is one Of the most promising
producer at the present time among the
old producing mines Of the district. Its
ores are exception ally rich, the pay streak
being from fou- inches to two feet in
width. TIE ledge between walls is an
unknown quantity, bnt so far rs cross cut
SHOWS big bodies Of low grade gold ore
The ore can be readily concentrated,
fully twenty tons going into one.
Below the Niehthswk are several other
promising mining pro,oacts that can ne
pr, f'ably worked in mills under proper
processes. Plenty Of water can bs had
f,r all purposes In the L,vne Springs
gulch.
The 0ro Plata is now and has been for
go years past, the greatest producer Of
gold ore in Mohsve county. Although
me greater part OF the ~ork on the mine
has been confined to surface exploration
