river, south of Needles, Cal, in eastern
San Bernardino county, Cal, and north
western Yuma county, Arlz., is the
scene Of great activity at the present
time. Several hundred men are en-
ployed in the different properties in
that section, and large bodies OF copper
and gold ores are being opened up.
On The Colorado River Gold & Copper
company's property flve-foot ledge Of
copper sulphide ore was struck last
week In the big tunnel, carrying high
values In gold. The ledge on this prop
erty Is continuous and unbroken for
a distance of over 1000 feet and varies
| In width from three to twelve feet. The
property Is opened up in several DIFF
ferent places by shafts, tunnels and
crosscuts, and the general average Of
| the ore all over the ledge, as reported
| by the last expert examination, made
last September was $4905 per ton, gold
and copper The latest strike, however,
will bring the general average UP to
n higher standard as the ore Is very
rich in copper and will assay well in
| gold. This company in connection with
others In the same section are making
arrangements to install a large smelter
on their properties this winter, which
Will be in working order within the
next three or four months.
| One of the largest properties In the
country, consisting of 104 full sized
mining claims, 2080 acres, owned by the
Quartz King Mining company, located
on the Arizona side of the Colorado
river, has had force of men en-
ployed for the past year, and the COM
pany Is making arrangements for the
installation of 100-stamp mill this Win
ter. M. p. Boss, engineer of San Fran
cisco, has completed the plans for the
mill and will commence the erection

critics in this section owned princip-
ally by Los Angeles people, some by
individuals and some by corporations.
They are all being worked more or
less and large bodies of ore are being
discovered and opened up all over the
district. This entire region is directly
tributary to Los Angeles, buying all
it's supplies here. When the Arizona
& California railroad is completed it
will bring this great mineral belt within
ten hours ride of Los Angeles.

entire section, showing the different
mines and the location of each.
Activity at GoIdfieId
Goldfeld Daily Sun: There are more
men at work in the Goldfeld district
now, three to one, than there We're last
spring, and tremendous activity is OBJ
served in every direction. The ship
ment of ore to the samplers and smell
ters of Goldfield is rapidly shatterng
all previous records of mining districts.
This has not been so much in the gross
tonnage as in the remarkable high
average in the values. During the re-
naming three months of 1905 the out
put of Goldfield is conservatively esti-
mated by Mining Engineers j. F.
Mitchell and w. A. Stanton at over
$750,000 per month. The first weeks
output from the district, dating from
the completion of the railroad, Sep
tember IA, aggregated 2940 tons of ore,
having a total value of 1920, 1872. This
is at the rate of $1,2S0,52S per month.
A total of 1401 tons of ore, having
a gross valuation of $211, ,120, is the
record of the camp for last week. OF
this tonnage there was shipped out
over the railroad twenty-three cars
containing 537 tons of a gross value of
$50, 700.
The January mine, one of the camps
most famous properties and already
with a record of million production,
comes to the front again. Superinten-
dent Sol Camp, who only recently took
charge of the property, reports the
finding of ore on three separate levels
The ore being hoisted is some of the
richest yet found in the camp. Some
of 1t runs as high as $4,000 to the ton.
the average is $400
A forty ton shipment was made from
the Kendall property last week. Part of
the ore is very high grade, two tons
running as high as $4,000 to the ton.
and the balance, about thirty-three
tons, will run all the way from $50
to $50.
