Mohave County miner., 1907-04-13

The Gold Road shaft has reached a 1 depth of almost 800 feet and within a , day or two the work of cutting out a | station will be commenced. As soon as the station has been cut the shaft will be continued to the 900 level and the two levels will be fully exploited. On the 7th level the ore body is four teen feet wide and is said to be the richest ever opened up in the prop erty. Superintendent Porter was called to Los Angeles last Tuesday evening, on business, it is understood, connected with the installation of the big power plant at this place. The in- creasing richness of the Gold Road mines and the immensity of the ore bodies impress the company with the necessity of increasing the capacity of the hoisting machinery and the mod ernizing of the mill. It is expected that when Mir. Porter returns to King man all arrangements will have been thuOC iboui OhC iAiSUullutIOA oI UhC big plant at the earliest possible mo- ment. Oil for fuel purposes is costing the company, under present conditions, vast sum of money yearly and right results are unobtainable. With the introduction of electric power more than one-half of the present expense will be cut out and more satisfactory results obtained at both mine and mill
 The report covering the production of Lincoln county, Nevada, mines for the quarter ending December 3l, 1906, has just been published. It shows that the amberber-Delamar mines pro- duced in October, November and De- cember in gross bullion the sum of l34, 24l .32$, and that for that period it sustained net loss of 50,295.37$. The Quartette, at Searchlight, yielded gross bl llion to the amount of 96, ,460.4 and netled l4,O77.62s. So far this is the first time that we have noted a net bullion output from this property. The Duplex Mining Company, of Searchlight, reports gross yield of 25,OOO$, of which l5,OOO$ was net. The other mines reporting bullion products were the Christian x Lloyd. 3,509, ,54$, netting 6,3l9. lO$; E. & F. \ ming con- pany, 3,889:78$, netting a loss of .29S; Potosia Zinc-Lead company 5O,865. l5$, netting 2,299.29$. It will be observed that none of the properties, of which so much has been heard, compare with the Gold Road mines, of this county, which for the same period produced over 25O,OO0$ in Bullion.
 The Grand Gulch mining company is to build a shelter of large capacity on the Colorado river, near Gregg's Ferry. This company is composed of Salt Lake capitalists and is the owner of the Grand Gulch mines, in the Bent ly district, in the north part of this county, about forty miles from the river The ores found in this property are wonderfully rich, carrying as high as seventy per cent copper. In assort- ing the ore for shipment many thou sand tons have been left in the dumps, which will be handled at the shelter. Besides these properties there are oth- CTS In that section that may be operat- ed and the ores reduced to bullion in this shelter. It is probable that a railroad will be built into that section within the next few years, which would makeOf that country one of the richest mining sections of the territory
 A Searchlight dispatch to the Journ- al-Miner says, In the heart of the city, while excavating for the founda- tion for printing press, in an addi- tion to the Scar chlight News building, wcrkmen uncoN cred rich ledge of quartz that will assay thousands of dollars to the ton from its grassroots. The outcrop is at least three feet in width, the ere being of the same gen. eral charactes as the rich copper-vein- ed rock found in the famous Quartette mine. The discovery was made on the Little Butte claim owned by Mrs. Wheatley. The ground was thought to be barren but preparations are now being made to develop the property on a large scale.
