Mines of the County

The playwright, Hal Reid, has writ ten many successes in the past few years but he has fairly outdone him. self in w. F. Mann's "The Cow-Punch- er," which is booked to appear at the local Opera House Saturday, February 8, 1908.
 Dr. J. T. Davis and N. M. Richard son went out to Cerbat Wednesday last to make an examination of the several mining properties in which the doctor is interested. They returned to Kingman Thursday afternoon. Dr.. Davis is said to have strong company back of him and contemplates doing a large amount of work this spring.
 The big strike of gold ore in the Richardson mine, near Union Pass, is said to be holding out and many tons of extremely rich ore are on the dump. MT. Richardson is driving ahead on the ore and intends to thoroughly de- velop the property before making an effort to get in plant for the treat ment of the ores.
 J. D. Spargo, who has lease and bond on the Brown mine, at Stockton Hill, has opened up fine body of ore in that property. It is quite probable that the mine will be taken over by a company and put in high state of development. The mine carries high grade copper, gold and silver values It is in the gold copper belt of Stock ton Hill and has an immense vein.
 Thomas Lowell has opened up gold bearing vein of ore about four miles from the McCracken mine, from which some of the handsomest speci- mems of gold ever seen Tn this county have been taken. A specimen of the ore was exibited in Kingman this week by Harvey Hubbs that was a mass of gold in calcite on black spar. It is said that the ore comes from be- low water level and that there is big body of it.
 It is reported in Kingman that J. D. Jordan and Fred w. Morrison have gone to Los Angeles to close up deal for the Bohemian group of mines, near the old Copper World, twelve miles east of Yucca, to Jan Kubelick, the great impressario, who is now playing date in Los Angeles. Should the deal be consummated- work will be started up on the property at an early date. The mines are situated in belt of limestone and shale and show out crops of good grade copper.
 O. E. Selzer, of Los Angeles, who is interested with Messrs. Chittenden and Buchanan, was looking over the mines south of town the past ten days. He is much pleased with the outlook of that locality and believes that it will become one of the best gold min- ing fields in the southwest. The gen. tlemen are getting ready to do a large amount of work on their mines and will put in milling plant as soon as the required amount of water is de- veloped.
 J. E. Rose was in from the placer mines, near Temple Bar, this week, engaging teams to haul supplies and fuel to the mines. He reports that the big plant is fast assuming shape and that within short time it will be placed in commission. It is the inten- tion to force water from the Colorado river against the banks of gold bearing gravel and recover the gold in the ground sluices. The gold is heavy and the gravel is said to carry big pay values.
 c. w. Benedict, who recently made payment on the purchase of mining property, near Wallapai Springs, own ed by O. D. M. Gaddis, w. E. Frost and Harry Mehatfy, was. a Kingman visitor this week. MT. Benedict is driving a drift into the vein on one of the claims, where he expects to en- counter good ore when the vein is in- tersected. In the shaft, which was sunk to water level, the ore was of an excellent quality and the body was of good width. It is expected that this property will be shipping ore to the shelter in few months.
