Mohave County miner., 1908-09-12


 coast last night and departed this morning to White Hills. He states the company will do a large amount of work on the mines this fall and winter.
 Charles Wilkins and Morgan Jones have completed the title work on a group of claims on Stockton Hill for O. D. M. Gaddis. The Hillside and Sidehill claims, owned by Mr. Gaddis, are under bond to G. w. Gibson, of Denver, and it is to take in more ground that surrounding claims have been located, making an exceptionally attractive group of gold mines. The Hillside has produced large amount of rich gold ore, some of the handsom- est specimens of gold ever seen in 1 Kingman coming from it.
 Harvey Hubbs, of Yucca, was in Kingman several days this week wis., iting with his family. He reports that every one at Yucca believes oil exists in the we'll of the railroad company at that place, as there has been no di- minution in the flow. although the company has drained the tank, from which it was claimed the oil escaped. About two barrels have been pumped from the we'll daily the past month, which would indicate that the well was on the margin of a we'll defined oil belt.
 H. H. Tracy, of San Francisco, a member of the Tracy Engineering con- pany, accompanied by Mr. Richardson, of Los Angeles, was in Kingman Thursday last looking over the power plant. MT. Tracy informed us that it is the intention of the company to com plete the big plant at once. Arrange ments are being perfected by which the Gold Road company is to take near ly six hundred horsepower. The plant is fast approaching completion and in few weeks only the transformer build- ing and cooling tower will remain in complete.
 Alfred Morgan, one of the we'll known mining men of this county, made an examination of the mines of Hamey and Marshall, at Walnut Creek, and reports them to be among the greatest mines in the territory Samples taken across seventeen feet of vein gave result of eighteen dollars in gold. A trench had been dug across the vein distance of twenty.three feet and it was from this trench that the samples were taken. On the sur face very low values were found, which indicates that the values have been leached from the outcrop. The veins are very large and run several miles through the country without an apparent break.
 R. A. Robertson, who returned re- gently from trip into the San Fran cisco district, reports that the Victor mill has been running twelve hours daily the past month and that it is pro- ducing considerable bullion. A bar approximating 7,500S in value was shipped from the mine last week. This was the first bar of magnitude shipped from that property. It is the intention of the management to take out the milling ore in the stopes until the present exploration on the 800 is con- pleted. On the upper levels the mine looks good, but so far the ore bodies in the 800 are said to be low in value. A lower level may have to be run before the enriched ore body is found, the poor ore on the 800 being no criterion of the mine at greater depth, as in all mines poor zones are found, as we'll as rich. The present management of the property is a good one and the ore bodies are sure to be followed and ex- plotted scientifically.
 An effort is being made to revive the old King Solomon mines, near Warm Springs, in the south end of the Blue Ridge range. These mines created great excitement about fourteen years ago, practically every man in Needles. California, getting in on the mines Assays running from fifty cents to 36$ to the ton was obtained from immense veins of andesitic rocks. The excite ment finally died down and the mines
