Last Saturday evening W. H. Cush-
ing, president of the Stockton Hill
Mining Co., arrived in Kingman and
at once made arrangements for the re-
sumption of work on the De La Foun-
tame mine. Thursday George Kemp
with a force of men went out to the
mine, and are at work arranging for
the resumption of work. Yesterday
H. T. Blackwell, the well known Chic
ride engineer, went out to the mine in
company with Mr.. Cushing and is get
ting the machinery in order. 1t is pro-
posed to drive the east and west drifts
on the 400 level one hundred or more
feet, and it is more than likely that the
shaft will be sunk to a depth below
the permanent water level. The mine
is one of the largest in the county, and
has immense bodies Of rich lead zinc
ore. This ore viii be separated and
the product shipped to different smelt-
ing eenters.
James Uncapher of Mineral Park,
was in Kingman few days this week.
He reports that the drift into the foot
wall of the Keystone mine has opened
up an immense body Of rich ore So far
the drift is all in ore, and its value is
away above anything ever taken from
the mine in its palmy days. 1t is pre-
sumed that when this body has been
exploited a erosseut win be run from
the bottom drift to cut the shoot.
The keystone is one of the best mines
in Wallapai district. and only needs
development to put it among the big
producers of the territory.
James Dundon, who owns mining pro-
perty in the Cerbat section. was in
Kingman a few days ago after sup
plies. He has bonded mine frac-
ton between the Tub and Silver, I'm
ion Basin, to f. NJ. Carson. and re-
ceived a cash payment on same. Mr..
Carson now has an unbroken group Of
mines in the Union and Todd Basins
that are especially promising. The
Green Linnet tunnel is to be driven I'M
der the mines, cutting them at depths
of from 200 to 300 feet, and draining
them of water. Every one of the
mines has produced rich ores from the
outcrop downward, and have every in
dieation of permanent ore bodies at
depth.
I. NJ. George visited the Gold Road
section this week. He reports mining
matters in that section looking pros
porous, and that it is the general belief
that this winter will see more activity
along the river range than ever before.
Many new mines are being developed,
and a number of rich strikes are re-
ported. The Gold Road mill continues
20 turn out it's usual big bars of bui- I
ion, and the mine is getting better ev- {
Try day. {
General Manager Mensch, of the En- |
erprise Mining company, is making
extensive preparation for the resump- ,
ion of work on the property. The [
new hosting plant has been hauled {
tut, and is being put in place by com
,etent engineer. Sinking will be re- :
iumed on the mine as soon as the hoist '
s placed in commission. The Enter {
Prise is one of the biggest copper pro- ;
positions in the Wallapai mountains. {
md is sure to be winner with depth. |
Sam Withers and Richard Lloyd
paid Il visit to Mr.. Withers' group of t
mines, south of Union Pass, last Sun s
lay. Samples were brought to town s
from an Is foot shaft that shows con- {
siderable mineral. 1t is stated that S
tour feet of the vein runs above forty /;
dollars in gold, with a trace of copper. {
All the ore shows copper and it is be-
ieved that it will eventually open into ]
4 big body of that metal. {
]. w. Gerritt visited the Orc Plata
mine this week to prepare for active
work on the property. John Boyle, !
he new general manager of the Orc {
Plata company, is expected in King
man about the 18th of the month, and
will at once begin unwatering the mine {
and putting men to work. The main
shaft will be sunk several hundred .
feet and the old drifts will be run
