Both show fine bodies of milling ore.
Streaks in the vein show splendid
specimens of free gold. 1t is also re-
ported that the mine is now under
bond for the sum of $4,000. with a good
prospect of sale.
The reorganized Elkhart Mining
company is almost ready to start up
work on that property in the Chloride
country. When everything is in readi-
ness work on large scale will be in
augurated. The mine in the cid work
ings showed great ore bodies, but the
production IVES necessarily curtailed bv
acknowledgement and the great ore
bodies that should have produced large
revenues went into the expense ac-
count.
At the Azalia mine the drift on the
vein has rea ched a depth of 80 feet
and shows ore bodies to a width of
three feet without walls being in sight
The ore show a splendid grade, much
of it being as rich as that found on the
surface. An ore sorter will go out to
the mine to dress up a carload for
shipping purpose. 1t is expected to
make this carload run more than $500
to the ton. A sack sample of the vein
gave a result of $50 to the ton in gold
and silver.
Parties recently from Pilgrim camp
report that in the lower workings on
the Dempsey O'Dea mines big bodies of
very rich gold Gre are being opened up.
The mines are looking better with ev-
cry foot of development and it is pre-
dicted that they will become the great
est producers in the county. The veins
show a width of more than ten feet
and average more than twenty dollars
to the ton in value. Three shafts have
been sunk to a depth of nearly 100 feet
and the vein crosscut at different
points. The owners are keeping stead
! lily at work, believing that they have
a big fortune in store for them.
H. ]. West came in from the Snow
! ball country a few days ago and re-
ports that the recent strike on the
Tom Reed mine, by Eli Hilty and Joe
| Anderson, is one of the most import
ant made in that country in the past
year. The outcrop showed little values.
but at a depth of six or seven feet a
splendid body of ore was encountered
! that gave values as high as SO ounces
gold to the ton. In the Horn Spoon
| every piece of ore tested showed great
strings of gold. The two men are hard
| still shows up big in the bottom. The
vein is one of the largest in the San
| Francisco district and is in one of the
most accessible sections Of that coun-
| try.
The Gold Road mill was compelled
I to suspend operations two days this
week on account of the lack or fuel.
Last week the company made one OF
the largest weekly shipments of bull
| lion in the history of the property.
John G. Potts and Fred Brumbach,
who have been at work on the mines
| of Potts & Kimerly, near Thumb
Butte, arrived in Kingman yesterday.
! They have developed considerable wa
ter at the mine and are confident that
enough can beN obtained for a milling
plant.
Between the Gracey mill and the
Ramrod mine, in Weaver district, VIII
Cook made an important discovery OF
| gold ore this week. The find was made
! by Mr.. Cook while taking a short cut
| from the mill to his old camp near the
Ramrod. Groupings broken from the
| vein show the rock to be laced togeth-
er with gold. The ore is a white spar
and is literally filled with the yellow
metal.
The Sorpresa Gold Mining & Milling
! company has been reorganiZed, the
capital stock being reduced from II.
| 5OO,OOO to $500, 900. We understand
that large sum of money has been
| raised by the incorporators and that
work will be commenced on several OF
the claims owned by the company four
miles south of Kingman. The company
is the owner of the old Blake mine
which is said to have a nice body o.
ten dollar ore, which can readily be
| cyanided at a good profit.
