Mohave County miner., 1907-11-02

is working good sized force of men on the mines and getting good gem stones.
 w. H. Nelson and a force of men have gone to Stockton Hill, where they will do the annual work on a group of mines, owned by himself and mother. The property is copper bear ing and is said to have good values in the precious metals also
 Owing to the nonarrival of the pump for the Mckesson mine, work on that property is at standstill at present. In the bottom of the shaft there was nice body of gold ore, which will be fully exploited as soon as the pump is received and put in place.
 Superintendent o. F. Kuencer, of the Golden Star Mining company, came in from Los Angeles Wednesday last and departed yesterday to the mines at Cerbat. It is expected that this company will soon begin the work of sinking the main shaft on the Gem mine below the present level.
 w. G. Kelly, who owns with other Winslowites several mining claims at Cerbat, was over there this week ar ranging for the annual work. He says that pumping plant is to be installed at one of the claims and that work will be done in the bottom of the shaft. The mine shows good ore bodies.
 Frank R. Sperl, who is owner of many promising mining claims in the region of the Copper World mines, east of Yucca, was in Kingman We'd nesday last to meet an eastern man who went with him to look at the property. The veins are in the lime belt and show good values in gold and copper.
 Yesterday F. P. Andreas made the second payment on the purchase price of the Golden Eagle group of mines, s. A. Tyler, the owner, getting the payment. Mir. Andreas has been work ing force of men on the mines the past several months and has made good showing in the property. The mines are situated at the summit of the Cerbat range, above old Canyon Station. It is understood that before the next payment on the properties comes due milling plant will have been installed and in running order.
 Adin Alexander returned last Tues day evening from the Weaver district. where he made an examination of the Jennie mine, in which he is interested with s. c. Bagg. He also took look over the mines at White Hills, where MT. Bagg has some interests that are showing up nicely at present. Mr. Alexander came here from Los An geles a few weeks ago to look after litigation in the district court over the title to the Pinkham mine, which he was successful in quieting.
 At a meeting of the directors of the Gold Road Mining X Explorations con- pany, held in Los Angeles few days ago, it was agreed that a deep shaft was necessity on the property and arrangements were at once made to begin the sinking of the main shaft to depth of 400 feet (6OO feet below the present leveD. To do this work the present holster will have to be re- placed by an immense electric machine capable of going down 2OOO feet or more. The shaft now in use will have to be enlarged and reconstructed to meet the demands that will be placed upon it by the increased output from the mine. Other changes will be made in the surface plans of the company. one of which will be an entirely new milling plant and the substitution of filters in place of the present tankage system. When the contemplated changes have been made the mine and mill will be on the most economical basis of any property in the territory.
