CAPITALIZATION AT
 OVER TWO MILLION
Other Important Deals Made in Mining Properties in
 This District

KINGMAN, Ariz., December 1.-I One of the most important mining tran sections ever made in Mohave county was effected a few days ago when all the property of the Mexico-Arizona Smelling X Refining company, operating the Needles shelter, was transferred to A. P. Anderson of Almeda county, Cal, attorney for the United States Smelling & Refining company, The filing with the recorder at Kingman of deed conveying the above property puts an. end to the speculation regard ing the many purchases of MOhave mines recently made by Dr. l.. B. God shall, manager of the Needles shelter. While it has been generally understood here that the latter was buying either directly for the United States company or for his own with a view of later transferring to the big trust, nothing definite could be learned from Dr. God. shall save that he was representing big capital
 The deal, which is signed by w. K. Hartzell, president, II. H. GOdshall, see retary and by stockholders representing more than two-thirds of the stock in the Nexico-Arizona company, includes a statement by the secretary showing that the total capitalization of $2,500,- 900 divided into 2j0,0O0 shares, there had been issued S,725, and that of the latter 190,66l shares are represented in this transfer.
 The property conveyed includes the shelter and real estate in Needles; the Iron Bar group of mining claims near Siam and a lime quarry at Vanderbilt, both in San BernardinO county, Cal, and the following mines in the Walla- pal district of Mohave county: Infal lible, Star Spangled Banner, Alta, Twins, Blue Lode, Twin Gulch, Cham. pion, Champion No. ?, Twin Gulch No. ?, Arizona No. |, and the north half of the Winchester This makes the to- tai number of mining claims now owned in this county by Mir. Anderson, or to be more exact, the United States Smelling & Refining company to thirty.
 In the Chloride district, A. l.. White, of Lima Ohio, and associates, who, re- gently acquired possession of the Mid night mine, have bonded the adjoining Pinkham mine, and are now examining the contiguous property owned by George Beebe and D. F. Meredith. The Pinkham was acquired from John Boyle, Jr, manager of the Golconda mine, who has held an option for some time. Mir. Boyle has had the shaft en- tirely retimbered so that the new owners can start work immediately. The Mid
 l. |. I sE.. resumed on the 200-foot level. The above mines lie about two miles south of Chloride and have produced many hundred thousand dollars in gold, sil- yer and copper, though the maximum depth reached is less than 300 feet.
 Mir. White and his company own complete electric power plant in Needles which was formerly used to operate the Victor mine in the Vivian district of this county, and it is proposed to ul- timately move this machinery to Chlo- ride should the development work planned and already started justify such change. Chloride is centrally located for the operation of large number of mines and well equipped with water and transportation facilities. NAlu IHt itnuilpt Ol.

 A small stampede took place at Gold Road several days ago when feet of $22 ore were cut at a depth of so feet in the May Count mine, bought by A. C. Warden & Co.,, short time ago. The property lies only short distance north from Gold Road mine, and as soon as the strike became known there was a general rush for ground, and the dis trict already well covered by locations was again monumented. A tunnel on Jim McConnell's Lilly prospect, which adjOins the Werdcn property, is now so feet in ore that assays from $3 to $25 per ton in free milling gold.
 At the Bi Metal mine, where Engi- neers Spur and Cox are still conducting mill tests for John Hays Hammon6 there is reported a strike of rich ore assaying as high as 5000 per ton. This has undoubtedly affected the milling ore, which is plating $s instead the $49O, the former average value.
 The local power plant, supplying the Gold Road and Tom Reed mines and the town of Kingman, is running att full capacity. H.. N. Tracy of Los An. geles, president of the power company, who inspected the plant a few days ago, stated that another unit would soon be added, making total of 200 horse power.
