John Jamison has gone to Layne
Springs, where he will take out ore
for shipment to the smelter.
L. w. Page came in from California
few days ago and is looking after his
mining interests south of Kingman.
Ralph Bulkely, one of the big
cattlemen and ranchers of the Big
Sandy country, was in Kingman few
days ago. He reports feed in splendid
condition in his home section.
On the old Nightingale mine, Union
Basin, J. C. Noble has several men at
work running on the vein. At one
time this mine produced large quanti-
ties of rich gold ore.
Several thousand head of sheep are
being driven through Mohave county
to Phenix, where they have been pur-
chased by big sheepman. The sheep
have been on the road several months,
out are III PRIME COnulllOn.
Hall brothers are getting splendid
ore in the Alger claim, near the Great
West, in Weaver district. The ore is
said to be far richer than that found
on the surface of the vein, which
created a sensation when first found.
NTa(Na,.r, xf-hn hal hAnr, 1nn1y
ing over the mines of Chloride, is in
Kingman. Mr.. McCarn is a mining
man of large experience and it is to be
hoped that he will take up some of
the numerous mining propositions of
the district.
Alexander & Morgan have an adver-
tisement in this issue of the MINER
calling attention to the fact that they
act as shippers agent for the sale ald
sampling of ores at the Humboldt and
Rigby Reduction plants. They furn-
ish the best of reference to ore ship
pers.
The preliminary tests in the canyon
south of Kingman has convinced the
Santa Fe people that there is enough
fine gravel in place to ballast a hun
bred miles of the roadbed. About one
hundred men will be employed a large
part of this spring and summer exca-
waiting this big pit. -
The Western Railway of Arizona,
formerly the A. & C., is now doing
more business than any time in its
history. Scarcely 4 trip is made with
less than six or seven cars of freight
and many passengers. 1t is proposed
to run the train daily, which would be
a great convenience to the public.
C. H. Hooper of Los Angeles, who
has bond on the Pinkham mine at
Chloride, passed through here last
Tuesday on his way to that property,
accompanied by mining expert. 1t
is believed that this big copper prop
erty will soon be taken over by people
who are financially able to handle it.
Many big lead mining claims in
Wallapai mountain will be worked
this summer by the owners. Arrang,-
ments are now being perfected by
number of gentlemen who own mines
in that section to handle the ores. A
small milling plant will be put in to
handle the lower grades while the
higher grades of lead will be shipped
without dressing.
1t is expected to strike the vein in
the cross drift, which is being run to
tap the Climax vein, in Union Basin.
The drift will be run on the vein to
open up the ore body and drain the
mine of water. In the bottom of the
shaft, which stands at depth of 10
feet. there is a nice body of ore that is
said to average better than zoos to the
ton.
Rogers & company, of Los Angeles,
are working on their mining property
in the Union Pass section and have a
splendid showing. The company has
fitted up a healthy and commodious
camp west of the Todd property and
intend to do great deal of develop
ment work this spring. There is no
doubt of the value of the mines, but
it takes work and money to put a gold
mine on a pay basis.
Mrs. A. Harrell will be in Kingman
about Anril ID with q cnmnlete line of
