Mohave County miner., 1907-07-27

The work of putting in the steam boiler at the Treasure Hill mines is under way and the pumps will soon be taking the water from the shaft. At present the flow of water is very strong and handling it with the big bucket becomes more serious each day. The ore streak in the bottom of the shaft is showing up wonderfully we'll, the values running higher and higher as depth is gained. Specimens from this ore body are the finest ever taken from a mine at Stockton Hill.

The city of Chihuahua is facing rent problem which is going to ruin busi- ness if owners of property continue to pile up the same unreasonable rates which they are doing now. AS every one knows, there are very few build- ings in the business center which are adapted to business purposes, yet own CTS ask rentals which would be high for quarters in modern business blocks. And these same owners can not be prevailed upon but in few instances to make Improvements. Business is good in Chihuahua, but nothing can interfere with prosperous conditions with greater force than unreasonable rents.-Chihuahua Enterprise.

George E. Ayers came over from Goldroad Tuesday last with bar of bullion weighing over 2,00O ounces in gold. The bullion is valued at some- thing over l6$ per ounce, which would make this bar worth over 32,000$, the result of one weeks cleanup. It is re- ported that the ore from the lower level of the mine is far richer than that from the stopes above.

He was surprised with the extent and richness of the ore bodies in that great lead-zinc property and believes it will become one of the greatest producers in the territory. Capt. Dahlgren has acquired bond on the old Moss prop erty and will arrange for the sinking of big shaft below the old level.
 J. N. Cohenour, superintendent of the Banner mines, at Stockton Hill, was in Kingman yesterday. The mines are turning out large tonnage of ore and the mill is kept steadily at work on high grade of mill ore. A car load of concentrates is now in the bins and several tons daily are being added to the pile. The tables and jigs are making big saving of the metals, only about one dollar ton going into the tails. About four thousand tons of ore is ready to be sent through the mill. Water is being obtained from the Banner and Alta mines for milling purposes.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 9.-Attorney
General Stead, in an opinion submit
ted to- Governor Deneen, expresses
doubt as to whether it is the province
of the state of Illinois TO proceed
against E. H. Hartman and his asso-
ciates for the alleged manipulation of
the Chicago e Alton railroad proper
ties. If the state should revoke the
cOmpany's charter the loss would fall
on the stockholders, the Hartman peo-
pie already having disposed of large
portion of their holdings. The attor-
ney general concludes, therefore, that
the best plan would be for the COM
pany itself to seek remedy for the
situation, or even for one or more
stockholders to act.
AT the same time Mr.. Stead assures
the governor that should he become
convinced on further investigation that
the state can relieve the roads condi-
ton, he will take the necessary steps
at once. notwithstanding his convic-
tons as to the wisdom of immediate
action, Mr. Stead insists there is not
