Mohave County miner., 1905-11-25

are at work on the Slgnal mlnlng com pany's group and also on the Osborn Butler groups.
 Work on the De la FOuntaine mine is progressing nicely. In the east drift on the 400 fine body of lead ore is in the breast and is widening with every foot of progress. In the west drift on the same level the ore is zinc-lead, the value in zinc predOminating This property is destined to be one of the greatest zinc-lead mines of the Pacific coast.
 Philip Smith writes from the molyb- denite mines, near Berkely, that a fine body of the ore has been opened up in the Laviathan and Whale claims. In the lower part of the drift all cop per has disappeared and only molyb- denite and quarts remains. Much sol i'd metal is being taken out. These two claims are the largest moly bdenite bearing veins in the United States.
 P. M. Paulson, who recently made application to the Los Angeles city council for permit to erect an acid works in that city, was in Kingman yesterday and departed to the Stock ton, Hill country, where he will exam inc several copper, zinc and lead prop critics. Mir. Paulson is interested in an acid works in San Francisco and desires to close deal for copper or zinc mines in this county, provided he can yet suitable properties.
 E. B. Pine passed through Kingman last Tuesday on his way to Chloride, where he will outfit for trip to Lost Basin, where he has contract to do assessment work on the Salt Springs group of mines, owned by Hon. J. F. Luthy, of Albuquerque. These mines carry values in gold and are situated near the Colorado river where an abundance of, water can be had for milling purposes. The veins are quite large and have promising futures.
 T. R. Garnier, of Los Angeles, ar rived in Kingman last Monday and is looking after his mining interests in the Cerbat section. Yesterday he re- ceived samples of ore from the breast of the upper tunnel on the St. Louis mine, which looks good. The ore is full of lead and appears to be close to big body of that metal. This vein is four and one-half feet wide in the breast of the tunnel and is widening as work progresses. This tunnel will be driven ahead as fast as possible and big things are expected when it gets below the old workings. Mir. Garnier has been quite ill with typhoid fever the past several months, but is now rapidly recovering his health
 J. w. Quinn, foreman at the Enter prise mine, was in Kingman few days this week. He reports that the shaft has been timbered up to the III oO lCNCi uleA lilC CdSO oTllU Cl6dF6u of debris. Work on timbering up the shaft to the second level is progressing and it is expected to finish within a few weeks. The mine is being put in condition to carry the shaft, to the 300 as soon as the big sinking pump is installed. In the east drift cave showed up a. fine body of ore, samples of which are on exhibition in King man. Eleven men are at work in the mine and more will be put on as soon as sinking commences. The new hoist is in commission and is working smoothly. During the past month a number of men have been at work in the big timber to the south of the mine getting out tagging, stulls and shaft sets. A good we'll of water has also been opened up and pipes are be- ing laid into camp for the purpose of carrying the water in, instead of hav- ing to pack mile or more. Every- thing is activity at this property and it is destined to become one of the big producers of the county.
