TEN STAMPS TURNING OUT
 s2,5O0 DAILY
Wonderful Record Being Made
 By the Tom Reed Gold Mine In Moiase County-0ther Promising Properties There.

klNGMAN, Oct 9.-The cool days are here, and that great advancement In q mining way expected when the heat had departed is here and expand ing rapidly. The Tom Reed continues to hold its sensational position as a wonder, even in such a great mineral country as this. Such an output of gold from little teIRstanp mill oper- ating half the time has hardly been equaled in any country Seventy-five thousand dollars every thirty days is about the size of the shining bars. The Tom Reed bullion carries quite a little silver, some mining men holding to the opinion that a little silver mixed in a gold ore is good indication of permanencs. of the ore body. The bottom of the drift on the 25o-foot level shows the ore body is going down with great size and richness. and after driving 240 feet on that level the ore Is just as good and no narrowing of the ore body. Miners who work in the Tom Reed estimate the value of the ore in sight above the 250 at easily S2.0oe,000. The development stock started selling at IS cents. while at the present time no stock caa be had, except here and there a little lot, where the holder Heeds the money. It would be hard to estimate the value of Tom Reed stock With the same size mill in operation as the Consol- dated at Goldfeld, the output would exceed million dollars monthly.
 Since closing down their mill. to be replaced by larger one to be operated by electricity from the Kingman power plant, and to further develop their great ore bodies, the Gold Road com pany has ibuIlded better than they Rnew'' Drifting toward the Billy Bryan from the 500 level of the Gold Road shaft, one of the largest, most continuous and valuable ore bodies on the coast has been opened up. It puts the Gold Road among the picture properties. a full brother to the Tom Reed, with ore enough in sight to operate their 200-ton mill for years. These two mines, when in full opera tion at the capacity of the larger mills they will put in. will employ some thing like 800 men. The output of gold will be enormous jumping Mohave county up to the first class with clean taxable wealth The wonderful Tom Reed and it's side partner now stand far in the lead of Arizona gold mines, but all the mineral wealth of the county is not confined to these two treasure vaults.
 Jumping from free milling gold properties to mines carrying suiphides the Midnight, at Chloride, stands at the head. as far as examination has been made by the writer. This prop erty is now under bond to experienced mining men of San Francisco, who are rushing to completion fifty-ton con centrator that will be on the ground next month. The Midnight is knowr as q copper mine, but if the price oi copper and silver are low the concen 9rator can work right along on sul p1lides with good gold values, with bu little copper. Five different ore shoots are known to exist in the Mid night. and when the concentrator is ready to blow in they can take theil choice of ores. About 2,000 feet O development has been done in tht Midnight, and the showing is equal tt any of the great copper mines of Ari zona for the same extent of openings The greatest depth is POO feet I'm mine is located on low ground, wate and sulphides being reached at 50 feet Midnight concentrates will be yer. valuable fiuxing proposition, ant smelting charges, if anything, shoul be very low. The mill will be locate where the ore can be run from tn mine to rock breakers, and perhaps spur will be laid from the Chlorid depot, one mile and half distan from the mine. The falling of tn Midnight into the hands of competen and financially able people is of grea importance to Cloride and the whol county. No doubt ir is one of tn great mines. Transportation of ore over railroad to smelter at Needles low. and conditions generally are f; yorabIe to make Midnight stead producer of dividends
