Mohave County miner., 1908-10-31
Mines of the County

of the Tom Reed company, are in Kingman from their homes in Pasa- dena.
 Carl F. Schader, general manager of the German-American mining com pany, was in Kingman Sunday last. The company is working on the 35th Parallel mine and are said to be open- ing up extensive bodies of gold ore.
 Peter Gallery came down from Layne Springs few days ago. He has been working Tn the deep tunnel in the Alpha mine, and reports that he is getting good ore in the breast. The ore is a heavy copper sulphide carrying good values in silver.
 The Golden Gem mine is showing much improvement with every foot of ground made in the big shaft. From present indications it is sure to become one of the greatest gold producers in the county. With a good supply of water and great body of ore coming in the shaft there is no reason why this company should not soon be on dividend basis.
 T. E.. McClelland, who returned from the Goldroad section few days ago, reports wonderful activity in San Francisco district. At the Tom Reed, Victor, German-American, Leland, and Gold Road mines there are forces of men busily employed in the exploit ation of the mines. In his opinion this winter gives promise of great things for Mohave county's gold coun- try.
 E. H. Dickie, who has bond on the mines of the Mohave Gold Mining company, was in Kingman yesterday. Mir. Dickie intends to do consider able work on the mines this fall and winter with the intention of get ting them in shape to make big out put. The mines were worked by Philadelphia company some years ago and large amount of money spent with little improvement of the prop critics.
 J. l.. Witney this week made an ex- animation of the Pilgrim mines owned by William O'Oea and M. Dempsy. The mines were discovered several years ago and have a shaft on one of the properties at depth of about 300 feet, but owing to disagreement the parties holding the properties under bond quit work, since which time only the assessment work has been done. There is no doubt of the value of the mines and it is to be hoped that they will be taken over by strong con- pany and operated in a systematic manner. The mines are across the valley from Chloride and only a few miles from big water supply.
 Report comes from the Tom Reed section that Walter c. Fellows has re- located all the outside property of the Tom Reed company. What the reason for the location of the mines is can only be conjectured-that the company was holding the property on work done on the Tom Reed and Ben Har- rison mines as a group. Mr. Fellows was one of the owners in the Tom Reed and Ben Harrison mining claims before title passed to the Blue Ridge mining company, which con- pany is now in litigation with the Tom Reed people over possession of the mines. The locating of the claims is sure to precipitate more litigation, the end of which cannot be foretold. Mr. Fellows returned from Prescott a few days ago and made the locations on his way home, which is taken as an evi. dence that he had the advice of prom. inent Prescott attorneys in the matter.
 In doing the assessment work on mines in IXL Canyon Ed Swope re. gently discovered the source of the gold float that was found in that local. ity in years gone by. The ledge is of good width and samples from the shaft show big gold values. w. A. Studlev. of Kingman, IS interested in the strike with the boys. The mines lie to the east of the J. F. T. claim, owned bv Gaddis x Perry Company, Smith X Sawyer and the estate of the late Her. bert J. Delamer. The vein is one of
