Down below the Bill Williams Fork great activity is noticeable among the mines. At the Osborn grougs many men are being employed and the other camps are getting things in shape to make things hum during the fall and winter. The railroad has given this section great stimulous and another year will see thousands of men en- ployed between Congress and the Col orado river.

Mines of the County

Some handsome specimens of ore from the Treasure Hill mines were ex- hibited in Kingman today by J. D. Jordan. The ore now being taken from the property runs as high as 700 ounces silver to the ton

Peter Caffery is at work on the AL pha mines, at Layne Springs. The lower tunnel is being run on the vein and good ore is showing up in the breast. These mines are among the best copper properties in the county and with proper development would become big producers.

J. M. Little, of Wright Creek, was in Kingman few days this week. He has just completed the assessment work on the mining properties of the Crowell estate and reports having opened up nice body of gold ore in one of the veins. MT. Little is inter- ested in group of mines in that sec tion and believes some day these prop critics will become good producers.

J. F. Burkhart made an examina- tion of the McKesson mines, south of Kingman, this week and it is under- stood has taken a bond on them. The mines are said to be showing up splen- did bodies of gold ore under the devel- opment of the past three months. The mines are east of McConnico and outcrop in the ridges running off into the Sacramento Valley. Some of the outcrops are but small stringers of quartz, but at depth they round out into large bodies of high grade ore. Some of the handsomest gold speci- mems ever taken from a mine in the county recently came from these mines.

Concentrates are now being hauled in from the Cupel mill, of the Stock ton Hill mining company. The con- centrates run high in lead and are a most desirable product. The mill is making several tons of concentrates daily and will soon be able to ship about two cars weekly to the shelter. At the mine great body of lead ore has been opened up in both the up- raise and the winze on the old tunnel level. A considerable part of this ore will run as high as eighty per cent lead, while the balance of the five foot width of shaft will run nearly sixty per cent. The lead in this mine is the richest ever found in the county. At the mill a nice zinc product is also being made, which will be shipped to the Missouri zinc smelters.

Messrs. English, who have been ex- pecting new dry washer from Den- yer the past week are preparing to go into the section south of Kingman to test the gold bearing sands. The ma chine is operated by gasoline motor and will handle large tonnage of dirt. It saves both coarse and fine gold. In the gulches below town there is good deal of gold, but whether it will pay to work will have to be dem- onstrated by the machine.

Eli Hilty returned the first of the week from the old McCracken mines, where he is interested in few min ing claims. He believes the big deal on the property will go through and that the camp will be one of the larg- est in the territory within two years. While there has been some jumping of claims there the old owners of the property do not appear to be uneasy over the ultimate outcome. The claims said to have been jumped have been held by the same owner for more than twenty years and a large amount of work has been done on them.

c. B. Chittenton and Frank Buchan- an came up from their mines in Me- Kesson last Tuesday to attend to im- portant business. These gentlemen have located large group of claims in that section and are hard at work perfecting the titles. They brought with them handsome samples of gold, which they obtained from their claims lying close in to the railroad. Any one seeing this gold ore would agree that there is ore in the mines of that section that cannot be beat for values. Were these mines hundred miles off in the desert wilds there would be one of the biggest rushes to it in the his tory of the county.
Mohave County miner., 1907-09-28

Judge Wm. T. Kendrick, of Los An geles, is in Kingman examining the titles of the groups of mines at Min eral Park that are under bond to P. R. Smith, of Deming. It is expected that as soon as the titles have been approved the purchasers will be here and work will at once be commenced on the mines. Judge Kendrick is an old mining man himself and it would not be surprising if he took an interest in mining property in this section.
 w. c. Benedict, who has a bond on the Frost and Mehaffy properties at Wallapai Springs, was in Kingman Monday looking after business affairs. He is running crosscountry tunnel to tap the vein at a depth of 200 feet, the drift to be about 300 feet in length. This will open up fine back of ore, the shaft already exposing a big body of lead to depth of 100 feet On all the veins of the group good ore is showing.

Undersheriff J. P. Gideon and Geo. Ayers came in from Goldroad Monday morning last with another of those handsome bars of bullion from the Gold Road mill. This bar weighed 3O,OOOS and was one of the best looking bars that has come from the mill in many weeks. The big mill is now shipping from 25,OOOS to 3O,OOOS week. ly, the bullion being shipped either Saturday or Sunday. The 800 level of the mines is proving up wonderfully we'll, the ore being of higher grade than that on the upper levels.

Carey Land at Aberdeen Sells for $63 per Acre

William Morton has sold his eighty
acre Carey farm near Aberdeen, for
$63 per acre. So far as known this is
the record price for land under the
American Falls Canal. Last spring the
tract was all sagebrish. This season

acres in fall wheat. There is small

set out on his Carey farm next spring
The varieties are Greening and other
hardy kinds. A thousand trees make

apart they will plant nearly twenty
acres. Set twenty-five feet apart they
will plant more than ten acres.

of the new projects now under construc-

G. Burson Of the Beaumont Nursery company,

trees in embryo, and by next spring expects
to be prepared to set out 100000 trees
Expert Cares for Trees
Under conditions OF his contract the land will

OF two years, in which time the trees will not
only be thrifty and carefree, but Of considera-

a splendid income can be derived from a 5-acre
Beaumont eucalyptus farm, as transportation

ditions excellent. The trees thrive at Beau
mont, there being over 10000 OF them now
which we're planted twenty years ago, and
reaching maturity some of them are over seven
feet In circumference without irrigation water.
By adopting the same policy OF caring for
the lands, Prof. Burson Is also prepared to
