Mohave was not running "hog- wild"
with enthusiasm when copper was Is
cents a pound, nor is she in the

man. and Judge W. c. Blakely re-
turned last Saturday evening from
trip into the Minnesota mining dis
trict. where they made an eXamina-

Messrs. Chittenden and Buchanan.
who own valuable mining property
near the McKesson camp. were in
Kingman this week. They have been
doing the title work on the mines and
in many places have opened up nice
bodies of ore. They are enthusi-

there will be a big boom on. Some of
the richest ore ever taken from a mine
on the desert has come from the mines
OF that locality.
1t is rumored in Kingman that a
strike OF great Importance has been
made in the German American mines,
near Vivian. The mines have been
opened to a depth of several hundred
feet and show big ore bodies in all the
openings. A ten stamp mill was erect
ed on the mines. but owing TO lack Of
water the operation Of the plant had
to be suspended. II is now understood

mines created some excitement by
making a big showing of very rich
ore. A shaft was sunk and drifting

in that section. While small streaks
are very rich in gold. the whole vein
shows big milling values.
