Arizona republican., 1899-12-26

Lambert Smith of Kingman went to Chloride the first of last week to put men to. Work on two mining claims up- on witch the assessment work for 1899 has not yet been done.
 M. D. Rocheford returned Thursday afternoon from Mexico, where he has been looking after his mining interests, says the Kingman Miner. He was met by. M. L. Requa of San Francisco and the two gentlemen will probably out line a plan for the development of their extensive mining interests in Mohave county.
 Charles Gracey was in Kingman re- gently purchasing supplies for his mines at Virginia Camp. He bought a ten ton ore wagon and sent it to the mines, where it will be used in hauling ore to the mill. Several hundred tons win be hauled down before the ten stamps are put in operation. The mine is looking extremely well and is now capable of producing ore enough to supply far larger mill.
 While doing the annual assessment work on one of the mines of the South western Mining company at Fl Dorado
 
 did milling ore was cut. In all the other mines owned by the company good ore is now in sight The lost vein in the Wall Street mine has been recov- cred and a good quality of ore found. The company will probably put in a narrow gauge road to the mines from the river and work them on an extens- i've scale.
 oE turned a few days ago from a trip which he made in company with T. J. Grant to the mines in northern Mohave county. At the old Adams mine in Grand gulch he found many men at work in the development of one of the largest bodies of copper ore in Arizoua. The mine is located eighteen miles north of Scanlon's ferry and eighty miles south of St. George. The mine is paying $1,OO0 per day. Messrs. Dunbar and Grant visited the Copper Noun tain mines, also south of St, George, and went into the Dixie country, where they rested up from their hard trip. They are very enthusiastic over the copper prospects of the northern strip and predict great things for it in the future.
 OleInenIe halQOnar, a miner at the King. was struck by falling rock Sat urday, says the Clifton Era, and sus- tained a compound fracture of the left leg below the knee, and the limb was badly lacerated. Sunday Richard Jones, railroad employe, got one of his shoulders dislocated by a hand car running against him at Coronado.
 The new concentrator building nov under construction by the Arizona Cop per company at Clifton will be of iron. A large portion of the iron is on the ground and more is arriving daily.
 Work in crosscutting the veins of the Gerald and Surprise group in the Minnesota district of Mohave county have shown up wonderful bodies of low grade ore. In places the vein exceeds two hundred feet in width. The mines are situated in a basin on the high table lands overlooking the Colorado river.
 Dan Murphy, the we'll known Need les merchant, was in Kingman recent ly and in company with J. $. Withers went out to look at the New London mine, where he has several men at work. MT. Murphy has many interests in Mohave county mines and expects great things of them. He recently se- cured options on oil lands in California for which he has been offered a big sum of money, says the Kingman Miner.
 Russell and Ziemer have let a fifty foot contract in the shaft of the Man mine in Todd Basin, says the Kingman Miner. The shaft now stands at depth of 130 feet and a crosscut at the  On the surface the outcrop showed less than two feet, but the vein has main- tained gradual widening all the way
