Mohave County miner., 1899-04-01
Chloride and Vuemity.

School election here last Saturday Tor
one director resulted in the unanimous
choice OF J. P. Finegan.
The Merrimac mine IS having 1000
tons of ore sampled on the dumps pre-.
paratory to the shipment of this and
other ore.
The strike made by John Kay on his
mining claim at Mineral Park a short
time ago, mention of which was made
in this correspondence to the MINER at
the time, is bonanza as at fret con
jectured F. w. Theis has just made an
assay from an average Of five sacks OF
the ore which ran 723 ounces silver,
100 ounces gold and one and one. half
per cent copper. The ore body is good
one, and gives Mr.. Kay r,uch hope for
the future OF the mine.
The old Juno mine is again going to
fall into line with other rich producing
mines Of the district. No large body Of
ore has been encountered yet in the de-
veopme mt work now going on in the new
100 foot shaft, but the rock and general
character OF the ledge matter points ex.
actly to this result. Work is being
pushed very rapidly on the mine, and as
soon as the contract work is done new
company will take the place OF the pres.
ent management and work it extensively.

county for thirty odd years prospecting
and mining, has doubtless fallen into a
fortune unswares. A NJ Cummings did
the assessment work on a claim he
owned the first Of the year and after
wards decided TO z, to the Colorado
river to seek his fortune and made Mr.
Young present OF the claim, assessment
and all. L. nov develops that Mr.. Cum.
mings left a streak OF ore in the bottom
of his ten foo; ass, ssment hole, The ore
from which netted l0s sack At one Of
the samplers at Kingman. The pros
psct will bA l1)k.i into further and
should the ore continue in b>nanza, work
will commence On It
1t is no idle remark 10 make to state
that the Tennessee mine is nov in the
midst OF the largest and richest body OF
ore that that phenomenal ore producer
has ever yet encountered The three
shifts OF men now engaged at work m
the 250 foot main working shaft are in
this rich ore on all sides, and there il no
end TO speculation as TO What they will
encounter in the next few weeks work.
The concentrator is being put TO ils ex
get the old ore dump out OF the way to
make room for the new ore that il 80 fast
coming in. New and additional men are
placed at work on the mine from day to
day, and within few weeks the mum Der
Of men employed will aggregate the
largest force ever employed at any one
time.
Another big mining sale can now be
recorded for the district in the sale Of
the Bay State group Of claims belonging
to William VanAusdall. The claims are
two In number, and rank in value along
with other mines that have recently
changed hands at high figures. They
we're examined by the company, purchas
ing them through WIN. Rockford, OF
Denver, who has been in the district
some time looking at these and other
properties. The sale was timely for the
new purchasers, for in another week or
less time there would have been pur
chasing agent on the ground for
wealthy Chicago company. The ore in
the two claims are both gold and silver,
and while it records the highest value in
the latter metal, they would be paying
mines in gold alone. The new company
will not delay starting work longer than
the preliminaries OF preparation can be
made, and they will develop and work
