Mines of the County

The turquoise companies, operating at Mineral Park. are employing small forces of men at the mines and getting out good gem stones.
 G. w. Brown has arranged to take over all the properties near Boulder Springs, in which Col. James Morgan was interested, and will at once begin development. A mill is soon to be erected on the mines.
 Col. James Morgan came in from Los Angeles last Sunday and has been att tending to mining business. We un- derstand that he is about to start up work on number of mining claims, south of Kingman, in which he is in- terested.
 Harry Shellhaus, c. w. Kenne and Hugh Wilson came over from Chloride yesterday afternoon and have been visiting with Kingman friends We understand that Mir. Kenne is about to take a bond on the Nighthawk mine and will start up work on the property at once.
 Manuel Ruiz came in from White Hills Thursday last, where he had been at work for the North Star min- ing company. He reports that shaft had been sunk by the company to quite depth in an effort to get water for camp and milling purposes, but no water was found. The company is the owner of the McKesson mines.
 Leonard Hoffman went to Needles Thursday evening last to look after the sampling of a carload of ore from the Samoan mine, which property is now under lease to Roy Wright. The ore is said to be far richer than any ever taken from the property, much of it being laced together with native silver. The leasers have been making big money on this lease and are con- tinuing to take out large tonnage of the same rich ore.
 Ross H. Bectel, Stuart Yer Mehr and Melville George have formed a mining partnership and have taken a lease and bond on the Brown mine, at Stockton Hill, where the two former are now at work. It is reported that they have fine streak of rock run ming over l09S to the ton in gold and copper. The Brown is. one of the largest veins in the Stockton Hill sec tion and has produced considerable rich gold-copper ore.
 J. R. Russell and s. R. Davis this week visited the Tyro mine, in the Union Pass section, in which they are interested. They report that the mine is showing up we'll, the recent work having opened up fine body of high grade milling ore. They believe the Union Pass section is soon to have a boom, many rich strikes of ore hav- ing been made there the past few months. The strike on the London mine, they say, is one of the best ever made in the county.
 The Tawa Development company this week filed it's articles of incor. poration with the county recorder, a copy of which appears in this issue of the MINER. The company recently operated the mines on Wright Creek and spent large amount of money. It is expected that the company will settle up its affairs and again begin active development of the properties. The mines are said to carry good values in copper, gold and silver. .,
 Judge M. Redman came in from his mining property in the Secret Pass section, where he has been at work the past three or four months. He re. ports that he has driven drift in on one of the veins and opened up nice body of ore, samples from which rul from three to five ounces to the ton ir gold. The surroundings of these mines is most favorable for mining and mill. ing, there being good spring of wa ter and fuel can be brought in at low haulage rate. The ores are free mill ing and large recovery can be made by the cyanide process. ;:
 County Recorder Thomas McNeely was over to Mineral Park several day.
