CHLORIDE MINES
OVER IN ARIZONA
What "0ur Mineral Wealth
Has TO Say About
Some NeighbOrS.
GOOD SHOWING FOR GOOD WORK

The big Minnesota-C Conner concen-
traitor is getting down to fine work
and the concentrates are clean. I'm
til the mill started they had a jam of
broken ore, but a passage is now
open to the richer bodies of ore being
opened up in the lower levels. Both
on the 400 and 500 high grade ore is
being drifted on. Ten thousand dol
lars worth of timbers have been put
into the mines since the last start
up, until o the mine is in good
shape for safe work. Fifty men are
employed, with prospects of double
that number by Xmas. The condi-
tions of smelling rates and transpor-
tation are much better now than form
erly and when the Kingman smelter
blows in it will be better still. The
Minnesota-Connor is situated among
a net work of veins and the cross cuts
now being run both ways on the 500
is liable TO bring new ore bodies at
any time. The development money is
being spent underground on the Min
nesota-ConnOr and not scattered over
many claims, as formerly. The pres.
ent method means dividends.
Manager Stull has the water out OF
the Lucky Boy and will increase his
force of men. The Lucky Boy is a
high grade shipper, as well as large
quantities Of milling ore.
The Chloride Gold Mining company
and it's new neighbors, have fifteen
men at work, and the high grade ship
ping ore is coming out in quantity

Nine miles west of Chloride, the
Commonwealth company are working
twenty men and have a shaft 400 fee
down the auriferous strata. The Pill

gold mines.

McCabe visiting relatives.
The dancing season opened Satur
day night at City hall.
Manager Eckels of Midnight-Pink
ham made a business trip to Los An
geles, Saturday. The lower levels o
the Pinkham Is showing an abund
ance of fine ore and every openins
on the vein from the surface to
depth of $50 feet is pay ore. These
properties are developing into won
derful copper mines, second to none
in the territory. Mining men will
capital behind them are beginning t.
realize that the Chloride copper ifs
sure is, as far as development hal
gone, all right.
The Pay Roll, one of the big prop
critics of the district, is under bond t,
the Kingman smelter people, and un
