Buck Mountain Gold Strike.

This week Kingman awoke to the realization that big strike of gold ore had been made in Buck Mountain, detached part of the Chemehuevis, and all the available teams and ve- hicles to be. had in the town were pressed into use. Needles also furn- ished its quoto to the rush into the new colorado. Although the strike was made a month or more ago noth- ing was thought of it until the dis coverer came to Kingman and had number of assays of the ore made. The find was made by Joe Brittan, who had been grubstaked by Mrs. Mary Sweeney. Assays from the find ran from one ounce to eighteen ounces | gold to the ton. The vein is situated in the north end of the Buck Noun tain, about fifteen miles south of Fran conia and almost the same distance from Haviland. The ore was capped with andesite and the good ore was not found until this cap was cut through. The vein is porphyritic and the gold is free. It is stated that the ledge is quite large, but the streak of rich ore is small. About one hundred people have gone to the mines and many locations have been made. Mrs. Sweeney, $. R. Porter and Lew Soth- CT, of the Gold Road company, have gone to the mines and it is rumOred that the Gold Road company has taken an option on the mines.
 The location of the new find is in the low rolling hills to the east of the Chemehuevis range and below the placer diggings, where so much plac- CT gold was extracted from the con- glOmerate ground some years ago. The hills are broken and shows prac- tically the same geueral country as that at Gold Road, with the exception that there is no spar in the veins. The hills are cut in all directions by min eral bearing veins, many of which have been held by location for years. While no very rich ore was found until the present time it was thought that good ore existed there. The ma jority of the veins are large and carry low values so far as worked. Water exists only in tanks in the mountains, that necessary for camp use having to be hauled in from Haviland or Scott's We'll, the only source of supply of potable water. There is no doubt -thGt the new camp will become one of the big producers of the desert.

The Needles Shelter is running sue cessfully, having about six weeks ore on hand. With the introduction of a copper stack the plant will be able to handle all classes of ores readily and especially the dry selicious ores of this county. The Banner group, at Stock ton Hill, is shipping steadily to the shelter and as soon as the mill has been put in commission large ton mage will be forwarded daily. The mine is looking fine and large bodies of ore are being blocked out. This mine is furnishing a large part of the lead base needed in the handling of the dry ores.

E. Fleming L'Engle, ore buyer for the Arizona Smelling company, was in Kingman Thursday last on his way to Chloride, where he will look after the interests of his company. He re- ports that the company is preparing to build 800 ton blast furnace in con- nection with the big reverberatory furnaces for the purpose of handling the heavy sulphide ores. The sulphide ores are now roasted and then smelted in the reverberatory furnaces, oil be- ing used for fuel in roasting and smelt- ing. This is the first shelter using oil throughout its entire works and work ing successfully. The plant is crowd ed with ore and it is probable that larger capacity furnaces will have to be added.

It is understood that the Minnesota Conner company is to be reorganized under some other name about the first of July and that a deep shaft will be sunk on the property as fast as ma chimes can do it. The mine has been badly worked and its failure to net the companies operating it big money is entirely chargeable to the manage ment. The mine is all right and un- der proper management will become a big dividend payer.
