FEW POINTERS ABOUT TIE MINES.

prospects are that the present sta te OF
affairs will continue as such for some
time to come. While the town is over q
quarter Of a century old 1t Is only during
the past four months that the people
could boast Of railway facilities. The
mines In this vicinity have been pro.
ducers ever since the camp wa estsb.
lished. and the mineral was OF such high
values that II bore the expense Of ship
ping to smelters over two thousand miles
away. That q railroad is extended to
Chloride IL no wonder when II Is known
that every day large shipments Of con-
centrstes are consigned TO the Pueblo
and HI Paso reduction works. The price
OF provisions, machinery and building
material are greatly reduced by rates OF
transportation and rs a consequence ex.
tsnsive development In the minee Is be-
ing carried on and the homes for the em
ployes are made comfortable and conve-
nient. The population Is estimated at
about 500 people In Chloride while there
are at least 300 In the mining district q
few miles distant.
The Tennessee mine. operated by the
Wslispia Mining and Development com.
pany. with X. T. 10y, as president and
general manager. and ii. N. Botsford
as assistant, Is making excellent progress
In the development OF the mine and the
treatment OF ore. About 1000 feet of
work has been executed In the mine. and
is being worked by three eight hour
shifts. Sixty men are employed In the
mine and fifteen In the mill. The mill
Is equipped with two whitley and one
Bartlett concentrators. and IL is claimed
they a save about 90 per cent. OF the
values. The ore assays twenty ounces
four dollars In gold and about
sixty per cent lead. One hundred tons
ore Is treated every twenty.four hours,
and 1t IL learned o. good authority that
the company ships about twenty tons OF
TO the smelters daily. Fuel
can be had at small expense since the
new railroad has been built. and regard
ing the water supply there is no question.
The Schuylkill mill which WAS dog
recently by fire. Is being rebuilt,
aud the machinery having been ordered
some months z will soon be on the
ground ready for adjustment, and the
works set In motion.
Numerous other mines In the district
are being worked by competent manag-
ers and miners, and are hosting ore
every day. There il no doubt concern
ing the pernsnency Of this prosperity,
a. the values increase materially with
The Arizona and the Utah. Is the name
Of the new railroad which was complet-
cd In August last. and which connects
Chloride with the outside world. The
line extends from a point four miles
west Of Kingmau. through the Sscra.
msnto valley up to Chloride. u distance
Of twenty two miles. The officers of the
Arizona and Utah Railway company are
r. l. Underwood, president; Charles X.
Morris. secretary ard treasurer: 8. B.
McCOnnico, vice-pi 9 lident and general
manager; II NJ. Mccartney, superintend-
eat AMI chief engineer. The last
named gentleman comes frcm Salt Lake
City. Utah, and Is quite prominently
known ss "A competent and able manag-
or OF a railroad enterprise. He thorough
ly understands the work of constructing
a new road, also, as any one can verify
this statement by a single trip over the
rails. The track Is almost perfectly
smooth, and the jostling and jOlting 40
perceptible on the numerous railroads Of
the country, is particularly conspicuous
for its absence on this new stretch OF
track. Since his brief residence in this
locality, Mr.. Mccartney has won an
army OF friends by his genial nature and
and 1t Is reasonably sure that
the good people OF this city and those Of
Kingman appreciate his presence In
this section.
One train makes n round trip from
Kingman each day. and a great amount
Of freight and express Is carried.
The passenger traffic Is heavy. and by
this source q very neat little business Ia
transacted. The train Is manned by q
crew OF skilled railroad men who are we'll
