TWO GLOBE DEALS
INVOLVE $1,45O,OOO
EASTERN MEN BUY LIVE OAK
PROPERTY
Also Figure in Transactions.
Buyers Contract to Sink
Two Shafts

GLOBE, Ariz., Dec. 6.-Two impor-
tant deals were consummated last
week. The Live Oak mine and group
of claims were bonded to H. B. How
land of Duluth, Mimi, for $780,
Manager NJ. E. Mccarthy of the Globe
Consolidated is to start the develop
ment work on the Live Oak, probably
within ties days. The initial work by
the new management will be the sink
ing of the vertical shaft, now over 200
feet deep, and which is located within
a few hundred feet of the newest drill
hole on the keystone property in which
sulphideS have been struck. In the
bottom of the Live Oak shaft, also, the
porphyry is impregnated with sulphide.
The expectation of the purchaser is to
develop in the Live Oak the extension
of the same great sulphide deposit that
has been so extensively opened by the
Miami Copper company.
The other transaction effected last
week was an option taken by j. C..
Hershay of Duluth for N. A Eaton and
himself on the property of the Arizona
National Copper company, the Pinto
Copper Mining company and adjoining
claims owned by George Bowen and o.
S. Cross. The amount involved in this
deal is considerably over 81 ZOO, 900, and
the first payment is to be made within
ninety days. The company has con-
tracted to sink two shafts, each to the
depth of 500 feet or more, one on the
Pinto Copper company's ground and
one on the Arizona Nationals property

From Needles comes the report that
President Woods of the California Hills
company is leaving no stone unturned
in his efforts to lSly all the outstand-
ing stock of that company. 1t is said
that Woods and other interested per-
sons realize that, with recent strikes to
augment matters, the California Hills
is a good property and for this reason
the stock is being gathered in as fast
as possible. 1t is said that about 75,-
900 shares are yet outstanding.
Broker G. M. Briggs has received
from d. E. DeLafe at Needles, the
following letter:
Your favor of recent date received
in regard to the Gold Bend property
referred to i'm your letter. There is a
very persistent and seemingly reliable
report current here that Mr. Woods,
who now has charge of the California
Hills company, or as formerly known
az the old Mcclure property, is not
selling any of the companys stock and
is making every effort to buy in what
little stock there is still on the market.
"B. F. Vaughn, the leading real es-
tate and mining man of the Needles,
has 81 mine a little farther south than
the Gold Bend group. and. showed me
samples of ore that would average
about $3.50 per ton gold, and he in
formed me that from what he could
gather a famous strike had been
made on the Gold Dollar claim of the
California Hills company and that the
company were jealousy guarding the
extent and richness of their find, until

LOUISA PROPERTY IN
; SEARCHLIGHT REGION
MAKES GOOD SHOWING
From Grass Roots Down New Shaft
Passes Through Pay ore-SoIid
Bottom of Quartz
Appears

SEARCHLIGHT Dec. 6.-Recent
work done on the Louisa has brought
big results, and those who have visited
the property agree that the showing
Is one of the very best in that section
of the district.
From the grass roots down the new
shaft has been in pay ore, and now at
a depth of thirty-five feet there is a
solid bottom of quartz which will av-
erage around $12
The Louisa group, consisting of the
Louisa, Viola and Leona, lies a short
distance west of the Blossom. An
exceptionally large vein crops on the
surface and extends on through to the
Koh-I-Noor. Heretofore the work
done has shown a world of ore, but
with low values. This year Nels Mel
son, the owner, picked out a likely
spot about 200 feet north of the old
shaft and gave a contract to M. r.
Moore to sink a shaft. Following the
foot wall there has been a constant
improvement as the work progressed.
Samples have gone as high as $54, but
such have been the exception and the
average has held true around the $12
mark
Among others who have been at
tracted by the strike has been G. b.
Wilson, superintendent of the Quar-
tette. He has made three visits to the
property, on each occasion carefully
sampling the vein. AS Nelson is AK
ious to secure assistance with which
to continue development, in all prob
ability a deal will be made which will
insure thorough exploitation of the
property.

GOLDFIELD DIVIDENDS
REACH HIGH FIGURE

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 6.-The mines and
leases of the district last month paid
in dividends the nice sum of $323,00O.
The Engineers lease on the Florence,
which suspended operations some six
weeks ago, was the leader with 100000.
A dividend was declared early in the
month of $1S0,000, and another of $780,
600 was paid last week, the checks be-
ing mailed from the office of H. p. Tay-
lor at Los Angeles. This is supposed to
be the last disbursement of the close
corporation of which only a few shares
We're held by the investing public.
The total dividends paid by the En-
gineers aggregated $560,00Q, derived
from ore that was shipped from June
II to October 90 the day work was sus
pended. In this time the gross value of
the ore taken out was $1,100,000. The
exact figures are not ready to be given
to the public yet in regard to all the
details of this remarkable lease.
The usual quarterly dividend of the
Florence Goldfield mine of 10 cents a
share, or $105,000, was the fourth paid
by the company, or total of 100000
for the year. The $4,000 of the Mo-
hawk Jumbo was at the rate of 3 cents
share, and brought the total of that
company to $198,000.

TONOPAH. Dec. 6.-While doing de-
velopment work several days ago on
the fifth level of the Red Plume shaft
of the Tonopah Mining company, and
at a point about 500 feet west of the
shaft, ledge was encountered. Last
night when asked about the strike and
the extent of the ledge superintendent
Blackburn said that the dimensions of
the body were unknown as the ledge
runs diagonally with the drift. He es-
timated the value of the ore at about
SIS ton.
From other sources it was learned
that the width Of the ledge is about
three and. half feet and the values
are exceptionally high, one assay Civ
ing over $500 to the ton. The char
acter of the ore is a blue sulphide
1t has been the policy of the of
ficials of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany in the past to keep the facts of
new strikes and important happen
ings in suspicious darkness, for what
reason it is impossible to determine
the benefit the strike might be to the
camp.

CASTLE DOME FAILS TO
SATISFY GoLDFIELD MAN

GOLDFIELD. Dec. Crank P.
Richardson returned last week after an
absence of three weeks in Arizona,
where he was for the purpose of ex-
aiming ground for local investors who
believed, from stories told them and
samples displayed, that there was
new district worth investigating. The
camp is known as Castle Dome, seven
ty miles northeat of Yuma 1t is in a
district that was worked fifty years
ago, when high grade lead and silver
ore was mined at big profit, as it oc-
CURED in big deposits close to the sur
face.
Richardson said last night:
II went to the camp expecting to find
some ore that was shown here. and
after prospecting the ground for five
days and not being able to secure a
color l made up my mind that it was
one of those rainbows that seem allur-
ing at a distance, with little mystery
thrown around 1T. Such is the report
l have made to the company for which
/ was working. The prospector who
had the gold in abundance all over
large acreage could not show a place
where there was an indication of pay
ore. He remained in the camp, and 1
left him quite a supply of grub, and
have come to the conclusion that he
was after a residence in a warmer cli-
mate for the winter"

CAVE CREEK MINES
PREPARE TO RESUME

PHOENIX, Dec. 6.-Each day shows
greater activity in the Cave Creek dis
trict, and it is definitely announced that
at least one of the big mines of that
section, the Kentucky Arizona, will re-
sumo operations by January /. 1t is
also expected that work win be resumed
upon the Grand Traverse and Arizona
and several other groups.
Manager Mccullough of the Ken
tucky-Arizona stated today that he is
making arrangements to put between
twenty and twenty-five men to work at
his mine on the second day of January.
No more prospect work is to be DONE
but the men will Immediately begin
sinking a 50O-foot, double compartment
working shaft.
Three shafts are already down upon
the Kentucky Arizona. One is 325 feet
deep, one 200 and the other 80. They
were sunk for the purpose of prospect
ing the ground, and ore was discovered
in all of them. They have served their
end, that of locating the ore body, and
as soon as the working shaft is down
into this body the mine will be paying
its own way.
Manager Charles Smurthwaite of the
Grand Traverse and Arizona is now in
San Francisco. and the last time Nc
Cullough heard from him he was maxi
ing arrangements to put a force of men
to work on his property about the first
Of the year.

Leaves No Stone Unturned in Buying
Outside Stock of California Hills

such time as the company could ac-
quire all the outstanding stock that it
was possible to get.
Mr.. Hail. assayer and part owner
of the smelter, informed me that some
time ago they had run some fancy ore
from the Gold Dollar claims and would
make. another run in the near future.
What the exact values were could
not ascertain.
THE company is working a large
force of men, and from all indications
the old Mcclure property is going to
make good, and that in no uncertain
manner. So far as 1 can learn the best
strike has been made ON the Gold Dol
lar claim of the California Hills COM
pany.
Now, if Mr.. Woods is buying in all
the stock as reported, and l believe he
is, you can rest assured that good
strike has been made.
II am going out to our camp tonight
and will return i'm a few days. If you
wish me to examine the property fully
and take samples 1 can arrange to go
out some time next week, although 1
do not think it will be necessary, as
know the reliability of the reports
current here as to the value of the
California Hills properties"

PARKER, Ariz., Dec. 6.-Among the
many industries that will likely be
promoted at Parker some day, is that
of manufacturing mineral paint, a
large deposit of which is located twelve
miles north of Parker in the Monu-
mental Peak mining district.
The property consists of seven loca-
tions, and is situated about eight miles
from the river on the California side
and is owned by j. F. Raney of this
place. An analysis of the substance
shows it to be a very pure quality of
ferric hydrate of iron, and shows on
the surface to be from 300 to HOO feet
wide and is located for 5000 feet. This
immense ledge pitches to the south
under Gaping of iron, lime and jas
per.
This property has been extensively
worked in the past, by whom, quite
likely, will forever remain conjecture.
Large quantities of stone hammers and
axes are to be found on the ground,
but nothing in the way of a utensil to
suggest that any modern method had
anything to do with its past explora-
ton.
This property was located over a
year ago by Dave Harris, who was
more energetic than any one has been
since in exploring the. holes made by
these prehistoric people. BY erosion
the incline shafts are largely blocked,
and one has to crawl in order to make
his way through many places. The
longest shaft Harris found to be ITS
feet to the point of his investigation,
at which place the shaft took q
SHARPER dip. Here he halted and rolled
rocks down and could hear them rum-

bottom. There are several other shafts
of more or less Importance, of one of
which Raney has a hashlight photo,
showing a large chamber, some forty
feet in diameter that has been stopped,
the roof of which is supported by pill
lars of material left for the purpose,
and others constructed of stone. Nu-
merous depressions over the surface
mark the places where workings at one
time existed but they have long since
been almost obliterated by erosion and
wash.
Expert analysis determines the ma
terial, in two instances the first as fer
ric hydrate of iron of a high order
value from $35 to $40 per ton, and the
second classed it as a high grade of
red ochre.
The thing that strikes one very for
chilly is, who it was that performed this
ancient mining What was it that
they mined? If 1t was paint, by whom
and where was it used? Evidences
prove that a vast amount of something
was mined, and if 1t was paint our
lost predecessors must nave been
very populous and highly decorative
people.
The south extension of this property
is located for its showing of high grade
copper and gold ores by Humphrey and
property is the Copper Bell and is most
favorably spoken of as having the pos
sibility of making large producer. In
this connection it Is a reasonable sup
position that Roney's paint mine is
only a leached iron cropping and that
values in copper viii be determined
upon development.

rived here last week from his Hobo
group of claims on the Skull valley and
Thumb butte divide. The rich ore was
taken out of shaft forty feet deep in
which the paystreak varies from three
to nine inches in thickness.
Uhl is enthusiastic over the POSSIBLE
tiles of the property.
The ledge is in a granite and por-
phyry contact 1t is six feet between
walls, the entire filling carrying min
eral values in some places he says, as
high as So to the ton.
Since coming into possession of the
group of three claims and a mill site,
he has done over 500 feet of develop
ment unaided. There are four tunnels,
$50 feet, 20 feet, so feet and so feet in
length respectively in addition to sew
eral shafts, in the deepest of which he
has the rich paystreak uncovered.
There is an abundance of water and
timber on the ground. and the prop
erty is admirably located from the
transportation standpoint, as Prieta
station on the S. F., p. & P. is only 1000

critics in Union Pass-Bond
Tyrol Group

KINGMAN, Dec. 6-The Lyons Gem
company of New York has contracted
for the purchase of a large acreage of
turquoise land at Mineral Park. A
representative of the company was at
the park last week and took over the
mines of John and Cordelia Kay, John
Caswen and John Goss, and entered
into a working arrangement on the
properties. The company purposes to
handle the stones at their own labora-
tory in New York and the owners of
the mines are to participate in the
profits accruing from the marketing of
the produce. They also get a good
price for the mines and are to have
charge of the respective properties.
The company is said to be one of the
best in the field.
James A. CRANE and M. J. Ryan of
San Diego are in Kingman arranging
the details of the purchase of La Cruz
and other mines in Cedar Valley min
ing district belonging to the estate of
the late Tibucio Padilla. They purpose
developing the mines as rapidly as it
is possible to equip and get camp
started The mines have a reputation
of producing extremely rich gold ore
and have been opened to some extent.
The sale was made through Joe KEEL
sey. who has been at work on the de-
tails the past year. Kelsey also puts
his own mines into the deal.
j. S. Withers and Dan S. Richards
have returned from the Union Pass
section, where they made an examina-
ton of a number of mining properties.
Richards was so we'll pleased with what
he saw in that country that he has
taken a bond on the Tyrol group and
intends to at once begin work of de-
velopment. Wires will be strung from
the electric plant at Needles to the
mines, and an electric holster will
be at once put in and shaft sunk to
a depth of several hundred feet. All
work will be rushed as fast as men
and money can drive it ahead.
Richards has also taken up the Trag-
edy group and is looking over num-
Der of other properties. With his en-
trance into xhe Union Pass field new

that before another year there will be
an influx of capital that will bring that

ment shortly which will run easily over
500 per ton.
Hartwick and associates, who own
a group adjoining the Luning syndi-
cate group. have shaft down fifty
feet and have just finished putting up
a hoist on their property. They also
have good ore in the bottom of the
shaft, and will shortly be in position

owns the Flat ledge on Gold Flat, is
highly elated over the recent strike
made by the three tributers, George
and Vernon Poston and Joe Cottrell.
Mccormack had an assay made of
the mineralized ore which showed no
free gold, and it went $745.44 to the
ton.
The ledge is of good size and the as
say is enough to make both the owner
and tributers feel good. The ledge had
been lost in the footwall and was re-
covered last week.

Gold Park Attracts Interest

The successful opening up of the big
pay gold bearing lodges at depth on
the property of the Gold Park Mining
company and the resultant regular
shipments of high-grade ore to the
outside has awakened interest in that
well known camp, which is situated
forty-three miles southwest from Aus
tin. The officers and stockholders of
the company, most of whom reside in
the east, are also enthusiastically look
ing forward to an extensive increase
in the mining and milling facilities on
the property with a consequent doub-
ling up of the output.
