Mines of the County

Gus Schultz, mine owner of the Cottonwood district, is laid up in the Prescott hospital with a broken leg, cansed by cave in mine in the Par ker country.
 Allan F. Mutor, mining engineer and assayer, visited White Hills, Gold Basin and Chloride this week. He re- ports several of the leasers at White Hills doing we'll, good ore having been struck in the old workings of the prop critics. He looked over the Cyclopic and Golden Rule properties, on which $. c. Bagg has a bond, and believes there is something exceptionally good there. At Chloride he heard report that Prisk X Co. has opened up four feet of ore in the Home Pastime mine, at Mineral Park, that would run over 1000 ounces silver to the ton. At other points in the district good ore was being taken out by mine owners and leasers.
 l.. w. Johnson and Walter A. De- Liere came in from their mining camp on the Cottonwood last Tuesday even ing, bringing with them big samples of ore from recent finds They report that they have one of the most prom ising prospects in the county near the old Sandy road, some miles southeast of Blackberry. The whole mountain side is covered with float from the big vein, which runs high in copper. On other veins they have opened up good ore, values in gold, silver and copper running quite high. Taking their group as whole it is one of the most interesting in the district. The gen. tlemen believe Cottonwood is sure to make one of the big copper camps of the territory, there being sequence of veins gridironing the entire country for miles. Much of the district is lime, while the balance is shales and granite.
 Mai. A. J. Pickrell visited at the Mcguire mines last Monday, having stopped over a day while on his way home from visit at the seashore. He informed the MINER editor that work was progressing on the Mcguire prop erty and that within a month the new machinery would be on hand and the work of erecting would be under way. The company has made arrangements with the Santa Fe to put in spur of 800 feet of trackage at the mines, where the mill is to be erected. The roadmaster is awaiting orders to put in the track, all material for that pur- pose having been received. The ca pacity of the mill is to be ten stamps, which is to be used in trying out the ores and arriving at the proper meth- cd of working, after which a great plant is to be put in. The mine, even with the present development, is cap- able of keeping a 800 ton plant in op- eration for a long time. The ore is low in grade, but it is thought that it can be mined and milled for less than one dollar per ton, leaving margin of profit of nearly three dollars per ton.
 H. N. Tracy, of the Tracy Engineer ing Company, was in Kingman several days this week inspecting the work on the big power plant. He conferred with the board of supervisors on proposition to put in a big water works system for the town, which contem- plates the building of a reservoir on the high ground above the town and giving the necessary pressure for fire purposes through gravity line. He says that just as soon as the plant is ready to furnish juice the Gold Road people will be in shape to take more than 800 horse power for their new plant. Already the poles for the lines have been bought, as well as seventy two miles of heavy copper wire. It will be but few weeks until the work of stringing the wires will be under way. The system, which is commonly known as the three phase system, re- quires the stringing of three wires for the transmission of power. Brick masons are at work closing in the biz boilers, which is no small job in itself. requiring about 100000 brick for the work. The cooling tower is neariny
