TEMPLE BAR
Temple Bar is situated on the
Colorado river, in the southern por
ton of this county and II miles
above Bonelli's Ferry. The claims
in this place are placer and are
owned by the Temple Bar Consoli-
dated mining company and the San
ia Anna mining company.
The Temple Bar Co., have erected
fine plant for hydraulic work.
Four, rs horse power boilers, 300
horse power compound engine,
thirty-inch suction pump and an
electric light plant have all been
erected at great expense. A run
was made in the winter months, but
the cost of fuel was too great as coal
had to be hauled from Kingman a
distance of70 miles, and every pound
OF coal that went into the furnace
cost them at the rate of $32 per ton.
A telephone line connects their
workings with the main Office &c
Kingman.
The Santa Anna mining company
Is operating two milea below Tenn
pie Bar, and the stock holders of
this Company are also interested in
the Temple Bar Co. The Santa An
ma company made arrangements
with some eastern parties for the
building of boat to run from Nee
dies to Temple Bar and their work
ngs. so that they could get their
supplies in cheaper and Mississippi
river pilot came out, made a couple
of trips up and down the river in a
skltf, and had the channel shot out
in few bad places. The boat cost
$50, 900 and was to make its trial run
on the first of May, on its run it was
found that the engines were too
weak to make any headway against
the current and it did not come up
to necessary guarantee, and this
mode of getting supplies to the camp
had to be abandoned. The Com
panies then joined forces, together
with the owners Of mines ia Chloride
aud the White Hills aud railroad
will be built from Kingm,n, by way
of Chloride and White Hills to Tenn
pie Bar. Twenty miles have been
cleared of brush, grading has COM
menced and two miles Of track have
been laid, and it is beng pushed as
fast as possible. Some $500, coo |
have already been spent and the fact
