 w. H. Cushing, president of the Stockton Hill mining company, ar rived in Kingman Wednesday evening last and went out the following day to look over the property of the com pany at Stockton Hill. He is greatly pleased with the possibilities of the mine and is preparing to install a large zinc plant on the property. The zinc ores will be crushed and separat- ed by the magnetic separation process, which is being used so successfully in all the zinc fields of the west. The mine has immense bodies of very high grade zinc combined with lead. A plant of this nature twill be cf great benefit to the Stockton Hill country. as there are many mines in that vii cinity that carry lead zinc ores that can be successfully separated and shipped to the smelters at a large profit. Mir. Cushing will remain here a few days and will arrange for the sinking of the shaft on the property to a considerable depth.
