A carload of ore is almost ready for
shipment to the smelter from the Mer-
rimac mine, at Chloride. This prop
erty is owned by the p. & A. company,
and is under lease to George Fisher,
Asa Mcnamara and Jack Flynn. The
leasers are sinking a Wine from the
40 level and have a splendid showing,
the ore body being three feet in width
and carrying values of about 500 ounces
silver to the ton. The water is being
taken from the main shaft and an eff
fort is being made to get into the drift
at the 2l0 level for the purpose of
crossing to the ore body that is known
to be at that point. Six men are en-
ployed by the leasers and they expect
to put on more as soon as openings can
be made. The mine is showing up
well and it is an unexplained mystery
why the company did not take out this
big body of ore when it was working
the property. Every pound taken out
is shipable ore, carrying values of at
least 1908 to the ton. The leasers are
all first class men and know how to
handle a property.

A telegram from w. H. Cushing
from Kansas City, conveys the infor-
nation that he has purchased a one
hundred ton mill for the De la Foun-
tame and Cupel mines. The mill will
he shipped from Kansas City inside of
ten days and will be erected on the
Cupel mine as soon as possible. The
two mines will keep this plant running
for year or more without opening
up any new ore bodies, there being
more than 10000 tons of ore in sight
in the De la Fountaine mine alone. In
the Cupel there are large ore bodies
that can be handled in the mill. At
the $50 level of the De la Fountaine
mine the east drift is all in a fine
quality of concentrating ore. The
drift has been driven into this ore
body distance of 35 feet and the ore
is improving with every foot gained.
1t is estimated that the ore body is
over six feet wide and not particle is
barren. In the west drift from the
same level the ore body is somewhat
broken but good ore appears all
through the vein. The water stands
at this level and is slowly raising.

The Vivian mill has been completed
and ready for operation. 1t was found
in making the trial run at the mill
that some changes were necessary and
these have been made. The plant is
designed to handle sixty tons of ore
daily when run to its full capacity.
The big compressor has been put in
commission and is doing good work.
The Vivian mine is considered one of
the best properties in the district and
has been opened to a depth of several
hundred feet. This mine was located
by Ben Paddock, a half-breed Mohave
Indian, several years ago: and its dis
covery created more excitement than
any other strike in the county. The
man was riding his pony over the trail
and saw something glittering in the
rocks where a wagon had recently
the shining object was gold. He To-
Gated the claim and took with him to
Fort Mohave that day as much of the
rock as he could pack conveniently on
his pony, from which he obtained 5O0S.
Along the surface of the claim a large
amount of this rich ore was found and
extracted. Later the claim was sold
to Judge Z. NJ. Ross and Col. Thomas
Ewing, who have brought the property
to its present state of development.
Parties that have just come in from
the Copper Prince mine, south of Bill
Williams Fork, report that the mine
is developing into one of the best cop
per properties in the territory. Cross
cuts and drifts from the bottom of the
new shaft have shown the ore to have
an immense extent and the value to be
exceptionally good. Col. H. G. Heff-
ron is manager of the property and is
rushing work. o. P. Posey, of the
Gold Road, is heavily interested in
the property, and is expected at the
mine this week to make an examina-
ton. Col. Heffron stated to the
MINER man that it was the intention
of the company to build branch rail-
road in from some point on the Ari-
IONA & California railroad within a
year, should the property hold up to
present indications. This mine was
recently sold to the Signal Copper
company by J. w. johnson, James A.
RoSbOrough and J. w. Thompson for
24,OO)S and by this company disposed
of to the Posey company for 5OO,OOOS.
The new company is working quite a
force of men at the mine and this force
will be added to largely after Mr..
Posey's visit.

much improved in health. He reports
that the cyanide plant on which NJ.

work the past year at McCabe has
been completed and is now doing
great work, SO per cent of the values
being extracted.

Frank 1. Todd has disposed of his
interests in a group of mines in the
Union Pass section to the San Diego
mining company. This group is known
as the Roadside group and embraces
five partly developed claims. One of
the properties has had great deal of
development done on it and shows big
bodies of high grade gold ore. 1t will
be further exploited by the purchaser
and later a milling plant is to be
erected on it for the reduction of the
ores.

r. J. Ferguson, of Chloride, has
been in Kingman several days this
week on business connected with his
mining operations. He is at work on
a concentrating plant for his Redemp-
tion and Clyde mines and expects to
have it in operation within thirty days.
The ores are copper, carrying values
in gold and silver. The mines are
capable of producing large tonnage
of ores susceptible of being concen-
trated to a value of about zoos per ton
at a small cost.

Charles Goodchild, who at one time
owned the Victor and Virgin mines
and disposed of them to Col. Thomas
Ewing, is still hustling TO- mines in
the San Francisco district. He is now
developing a group of mines south of
the Victor and Virgin and has a good
showing of ore. Mr.. Goodchild was
one of the first men in the San Fran
cisco district and has shown his faith
in its ultimate recognition by staying
with it many years.

Sam Butler is taking great copper
ore from his mine on Bill Williams
Fork. This property is owned by Mr..
Butler and has been in process of dc
velopment several months. A shaft
has been sunk to a depth of 100 feet
and ore averaging better than 90 per
cent copper taken out. A carload of
this ore is to be shipped to the smelter
at once. Mr.. Butler is working
force of men on the mine and expects
to make it one of the best producers
in that section.

E. NJ. Carson, who is operating the
Payroll mine, is getting splendid ship
ping ore. The mine has one of the
largest bodies oe ore of any of the
Chloride properties and should become
a larger shipper. A straight shaft was
sunk to a depth of 200 feet and the
vein crossed at the 400 level. a great
flow of water was encountered in the
vein and it was some time before it
could be pumped out and work re-
sumed. The people having the work
in charge finding the vein somewhat
broken at this level, gave the property
up. 1t is to be regretted that the mine
has never been in the hands of first
class mining man, as it has great pos
sibilities.

Fred H. Stull and Thomas Brayil
are Incorporating the Lucky Boy
group of mines and will begin active
work at once. At present only one
man is at work on the mines, but as
soon as the incorporation is complete
force of miners will be put on. The
mines are the richest in the Chloride
section and have been producers for
years.

1t is reported that the Minnesota
Common mines will be taken over by a
new company shortly and the main
shaft sunk to depth of eight or nine
hundred feet. A mining man of ex-
perience will be put in charge of the
work and the mines developed syste-
matically. These mines are among
the best properties ofs the county and
under proper development ought to
become large dividend payers.

Owing to the bad condition of the
boilers at the Elkhart and Tennessee
mines work has had to be suspended
on these properties until the defect
can be remedied. 1t is understood
that new boilers will be put in at once
and the mines put in first class shape.
The properties are all right, but it
will take considerable money to put in
the necessary machinery and open
them up as they should be.
The shaft on the Alfalfa mine is be-
ing sunk deeper. At a depth of 100
feet it is in ore that fills the shaft.
The grade of the ore is said to be as
high as any heretofore shipped from
that property. The ore was found in
cutting out for station at the 100
level and has been carried down in
the shaft to the present level. A. H.
Dryden is superintendent of the prop
erty and is getting it in shape to make
a large output this year.

J. B. Jensen, representing the Unit
ed States smelling company visited
the Chloride section last week in the
interest Of the big smelling concern.
Sunday last he visited the Stockton
Hill section in company of the editor
of the MINER and was surprised with
the evidence of prosperity of that
camp. After making an examination
of the De la Fountaine mine he stated
that he never saw such big bodies of
ore anywhere, as show in this proper
ty, with the same amount of develop
ment. He also visited the c. o. D.
mine and expressed the opinion that
this property would become again one
of the big producers of the county.
Mr.. Jensen will return to this county
in few months and may conclude to
take up some of the good things that
now offer inducements to investors.

w. C. Howard came in from the
Pyramid mill last Sunday. Owing to
the failure to obtain sufficient wood
for fuel he was compelled to contract
for oil in Kingman and wagon load
will 90 out this week. Hereafter it is
proposed to use fuel oil at mine and
mill and as soon as a supply is receiv-
ed the mill will be started up for a
continuous run on Katherine and
Sheeptrail ores. Several hundred
tons of ore is now on hand and the
slopes are pushed sufficiently ahead
into the ore body to insure a sufficient
supply for eight or ten months.

Mines of the County

Kean and John St. Charles shipped
a carload of ore from the Midnight
mine to the Humboldt smelter last
Thursday. The ore is from the 20 foot
level of the mine and is said to carry
good values in copper, gold and silver.
The mine is showing up large bodies
of high grade ores, which will be

Interest Here in Automobiles.

A great many prospective buyers of
automobiles of this city are making pre-
paratons to attend the automobile shows
which will be held in New York city du.-
Ing the week of January 18th to 10th.
These shows promise to surpass anything
ever attempted since the first automobile
exhibit, which was held in Madison
Square Garden In nineteen hundred.
The American cars have certainly made
great strides during the last year, and
to-day nearly every American. manufac-
turer stands ready to place his cars in
competition against the foreign build
ers. the American cars having proven by
severe tests of endurance during the year
of 1906 their ability to perform even
better than the foreign cars here on our
American roads.
Richmond is becoming one OF the lead
ing automobile cities of the South and
the buyers of cars are by no means con-
flning themselves to the small cars. Quite
a large number have already placed ord
ers FOR high powered machines for dellv-
cry during February and March.
