nearly as muchinore. Taking the two
properties together it is estimated
that no better showings exist in the
county.
In and around Stockton Hill, if the
reader will observe the plat, there
are hundreds of veins of mineral bear
ing ores that have been more or less
worked on and which have produced
many thousands of dollars. In fact the
whole Stockton Hill country is scanned
and gridironed with veins of ore. The
Robin Hood, at one time known as
the Moonbeam, produced more than
100, COOS from one small shoot. 1t lies
near the Cupel and is believed to be
a part of that rich vein.
The great, big vein of the camp is
the Prince George. 1t has many To-
cations on it and the most prominent
of these is the Prince George. This
mine produced about 150,O0OS from one
shoot above the 100 level. This shoot
was thirteen feet in width and the ore
gave an average return of nearly two
hundred dollars by the carload. The
vein was crossed with a diamond drill
eighty-nine feet and immense ore bod
les were passed through. No syste-
matte work was ever done on the mine
and no attempt is being made to de-
velop its great bodies of low grade
ores. 1t is undoubtedly one of the
greatest mines in the territory but
considerable investment of money and
systematic mining will be necessary to
put the property on proper produc-
ing basis. The man that takes up this
property and develops it will make no
mistake. 1t has the ore body from
which great things may be expected.
There are large number of locations
along this great vein and the outcrop
shows ore in many places.
The trend of all the veins is from
the northwest to the southeast and
along this belt of veins are some show
ings of ore that would create a rush if
found in the boom camps of Nevada
or elsewhere. The fact that it is an
old camp is against the boomer, but
Just now some shrewd mining men
are getting in and are sure to make a
stir. In the lower part of the belt the
mines bear silver and lead, but near
the apex of the mountain are veins of
gold, silver, copper and lead, the gold
appearing to increase as the apex of
the mountain is reached. This rule
holds good in all the veins.

Stockton Hill Mines.
Rich Section of the Wallapai
Mining District.
Plat of the Mines IN that Great Mineral Belt
From Actual Surveys.

Wallapai mining district was one of
the first sections of the Cerbat range
to be invaded by the white man in
search of gold and silver. The ores
found in the outcrop were found to be
very rich, especially in silver. The
district was christened Sacramento,
but later, after Indian hoStilities had
subsidized, and with the advent of many
new prospectors the district was re-
named Wallapai, after the tribe of In
dams inhabiting this section of the
county. When the first mines were
discovered the county was part of New
Mexico, although an act for the sepa-
ration of the county west of the Rio
Granda river had at that time been in
troduced in congress and the early
map makers had shown the segregated
area on their maps of the United
States.
Wallapai mining district covers a
rugged section of the Cerbat range,
Kingman being the south extremity
and Chloride the north extremity of
the district. The length of the dis
trict is about twenty-five miles by ten
miles in width. 1t takes in the mining
camps of Chloride, Mineral Park,
Layne Springs, Todd and Union Bas-
ms, Cerbat, Stockton Hill, and c. o.
D. Stockton Hill lies near the apex
of the Cerbat range, and Cerbat lies
in the Canyon directly west, the
mines of the latter camp lying along
the detached foothills.
At Stockton Hill the mines have
been worked for thirty years and have
furnished millions of dollars to the
wealth of the world. The mines of
that section carry gold, silver, lead
and copper ores so rich that the early
miners were able to make shipments
to Swansea, Wales, by way of the
Colorado river, Gulf of California, and
around the Horn, and then get net re-
turns of hundreds of dollars to the ton.
One of the first mines discovered in
the district and one of the properties
lying at the southern extremity of the
Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1906-04-14

about ten feet in width and the pay
ore runs from fourteen inches to three
and one-half feet. For a hundred OF
more feet from the breast the ore
shows big values in silver and gold
the gold value alone running three
ounces on an average. The ore is
veined with silver and some of it is
laced together with wire silver. The
mine is one of the richest of the gold.
silver mines of the district.
The Cupel mine is possibly the old,
est known location on what is properly
known as Stockton Hill. 1t was 10
Gated in the sixties and was worked
Internationally for many years. In the
late seventies it was made to pay
handsomely by tributers and later in
the eighties it was opened up to the
400 foot level by an incline shaft by
Spruance, Stanly & company, of San
Francisco. From this shaft more than
5O0,O00S in silver and gold was taken
and there are large bodies of splendid
milling ore still in the property. The
mine is now about to be equipped with
an up-to-date mill to handle the lower
grades of ore, the plant to be in COM
mission in a few months. This mine
has been one of the most consistent ore
producers in this district, having re-
turned to the owners and tributers
more than 800, zoos from sales of ores
above the 400 level. In connection
with the Cupel the De la Fountaine
mine is to be worked. This mine is
opened by shaft to depth of 400 feet
and immense bodies of lead-zinc ore
opened. At the level of the adit drift
there is body of ore nearly ten feet
in thickness that averages thirty per
cent zinc and ten per cent lead. This
ore body has length of 40 feet and
reaches from close to the surface to a
depth of $50 feet, at which low point
it has again been cut. To the east of
this ore body and on the same level,
is shoot two hundred feet in length
of rich lead, unmixed with zinc. This
ore has just been cut in the $50 level,
where it is four feet thick. Every
foot of ground now opened shows
splendid ore bodies. The ore is to be
extracted and worked in the mill to
be placed on the Cupel mine. With a
fifty ton mill in operation the two
mines will be making a fine output of
ore and concentrates. In the De la
Fountaine it is estimated that there is
nearly 20O,OOOS worth of lead and zinc
in sight and in the Cupel there is

ore bearing zone, is the old '63. This
mine was located in the year that
bears it its name and from it was ia
ken some of the richest silver ore
mined in the county. From the sur
face was taken ore that ran almost
solid silver. Hundreds of tons of the
ore ran up in the thousands of dollars
per ton. There was no bases in it
and the mills of the county worked it
up to high percentage without roast
ing. The mine was worked through a
series of adit drifts and at the present
time the workings are quite shallow.
The vein was in places three feet in
width and every particle of matter
taken out was shippable ore. After
the first owners had worked the mine
for few years it was disposed of to a
San Francisco company that worked it
several years with good results. Later
it was leased out and no tributer ever
left it in debt. The mine lies. south of
Stockton Hill, short distance west of
the Treasure Hill mines. At the pres
ent price of silver it would be one of
the best chloriding propositions in the
county. The ground is easily worked
and the ore bodies are big and rich.
In and around Stockton Hill are
hundreds of veins of rich ore, but
many of them have been Quilted of
their riches to the water level and
there abandoned, only the annual work
being kept up. These mines are I'M
doubtedly rich below the water level,
as every mine in that section that has
been worked to depth has shown i'm
, provement in the ore and stability of
the ore bodies. Notably is this the
case with the Infallible and Star Span
gled Banner mines, now being worked
by the Arizona-Mexican mining COM
pany. These mines have an adit drift
run more than fifteen hundred feet on
the vein and gaining depth of sew
eral hundred feet. In the breast of
this drift the ore is far better than in
any part of the property and has been
constantly improving with every foot
gained in depth. The property has
produced thousands of dollars in gold,
silver and lead. The company is now
preparing to erect mill to handle the
low grade lead-zinc ores, and will soon
be making by-product of the latter
metal. Heretofore the zinc was as
sorted from the ores and allowed to lie
on the dumps. Now, with improved
facilities this can be made to pay hand
somely. The vein in this mine is

vein that has produced rich gold, ST.
yer and lead ores. The vein is large
and outcrops for long distance. 1t
has been opened to a superficial depth,
the greatest shaft being about sixty
feet. Within the side lines of the
claim are several veins, all ore bear
ing. Along the strike of the vein,
west of the main lead, are many other
veins of ore that carry rich values in
gold and copper. Among tlese are
the Bryan, Silver Legion, Vigilant,
Blue Bell, Brown, Coronation and Val
liant. On the northeast side of the
canyon is the Alta, Pure Metal, Earl,
Miners Hope and others. South of
the Fountain Head are the Q. NJ. D.,
Tigress, Little Chief, Stockton, Win
chester, Jubilee, Blue Jay and others
All of these properties have been pro-
ducers of good ore and are capable of
making big output of ore under proper
conditions. Many of them are now
into water and will have TO be equip
ped with machinery, but should some
of the big veins be sunk to depth and
the water pumped out it will drain
the whole belt and allow of the hand
ling of the smaller properties. The
belt of mines runs to the foot of the
Hill and down into the valley. Close
in are the properties of the Treasure
Hill company. These mines have been
good producers, but too much water
has been encountered to allow of
handling with the present machinery.
1t is proposed to install heavier ma
chinery shortly and begin active de-
velopment of the properties.
The mines of Stockton Hill proper
are among the richest in the territory
and the introduction of capital into,
these properties will return to the in
weston an hundred fold on his invest
ment. Now is the time to get in. The
mines can be had on reasonable terms i.
and small outlay will bring big re-
suits.
To the northwest. and in the Stock
ton Hill mineral belt, are the Night
hawk, Alpha, Mint, Silver Monster,
Cincinnati, and many other mines. In
recent years, the Nighthawk has pro-
duced thousands of dollars in gold and
silver. while the Alpha has also been,
a big producer. The Nighthawk is,
opened by tunnel 1900 feet in length,
which reaches depth of over 700 feet
on the vein.. These. mines can be-
reached by a road over the mountain,
but from the west a road has already.
