Mines of the County

section, spent several days this week visiting relatives in Kingman.
 A. I. Richardson has struck fine prospect in the Union Pass section, where he has been at work the past several months. The vein is excep- tionally large and the ore shows free gold.
 The contractors on the old Union Pass mine have struck fine body of ore in one of the shafts. The samples sent to Kingman will run about two ounces in gold and horn freely. The vein is one of the largest in the coun- ty and is situated within six miles of the Colorado river.
 J.. D. Jordan, we'll known mining man, and Judge W. G. Blakely, re- turned last Saturday evening from a trip into the Minnesota mining dis trict, where they made an examina- tion of the properties owned by MT. Gross, of Chicago. They report the properties to carry splendid gold values and that the veins are of good size and traceable long distance on the surface.
 Messrs. Chittenden and Buchanan, who own valuable mining roperty near the McKesson camp, were in Kingm n this week. They have been doing h title work on the mines and in many places have opened up nice bodies of gold ore. They are enthusi- astic over the prospects of the section of country south of Kingman and be- lieve before another year rolls arour d there will be big boom on. Some of the chest ore ever taken from mine on the desert has come from the mines of that locality.
 It is rumored in Kingman that a strike of great importance has been made in the German American mines, near Vivian. The mines have been opened to depth of several hundred feet and show big ore bodies in all the openings. A ten stamp mill was erect ed on the mines, but owing to lack of water the operation of the plant had to be suspended. It is now understood that water will be obtained from the Victor Gold mining company's pump ing plant and that the mill will be started up on rich ore from the new strike.
 J. L. Witney. general manager of Palo Verde Mining company, was in Kingman this week looking after busi- ness affairs of the company. He is having some big teams fitted up for hauling from Yucca to the mines. Much machinery is to be put on the mines at once and the property opened up as fast as possible. The big holster has been hauled out to the mines and will soon be in place. The drifts and adits are being cleaned out and every where big ore bodies are being uncov- cred. It is said in one place an inn mense body of rich ore has been brok- en into that really would surprise the natives.
 Work is progressing on the mines owned by Messrs. Potts, Hogan and Kimmerly, near Thumb Butte, in the Union Pass section. The mines are under bond to Memphis, Tennessee, people and force of men are at work getting camp in shape and finishing up the annual work. After the first of the year a system of development will be mapped out and lar, CT fo ce of men put on. Last winter one of the mines created some excitement by making big showing of very rich ore. A shaft was sunk and drifting reveals the vein to be one of the finest in that section. While small streaks are very rich in gold, the whole vein shows big milling values.
 J. A. Neiset and wife, Millerville, J. H. Neiset and Clary Neiset, Gibson burg, w. H. Le Long, Barberton, Nose Collar, Lodi, Ohio, arrived in Kingman few days ago and went out to the Golden Eagle group of mines, east of Mineral Park. F. P.
