Mohave County miner., 1909-11-13

here by his brother Frank, of Colorado l Springs, and the two men have gone to the mines they are operating near the Tom Reed. The mines owned by the | Woods Brothers surround the Tom Reed and are said to be on the big vein. Work is now progressing on a number of the claims and an applica- tion for patent will soon be made. These gentlemen were among the largest operators in the boom days of Cripple Creek, controlling the Gold Coin, one of the largest producers in that famous district.
 This week Mrs. Cordela Kay, of Mineral Park, advertises her mines at that place for sale. Mrs. Kay has been resident of Mineral Park about twenty five years and during that time has acquired some of the best mines of the locality. Among the properties are veins bearing copper, gold, silver and zinc. She also owns a group of turquoise claims from which large amount of valuable gem stone has been extracted Some of the largest masses of gem in the matrix ever taken from a mine at the Park was taken from these mines. Several of the copper mines have had large amount of work done on them and show good bodies of ore.
 F. B. Gabbert passed through King man Monday last on his way to the , old Moss mine, where he is looking af- ter affairs for the company. He in- formed the MINER that the old Gold Giant company was being reorganized and would soon be at work on the mines. The company will be under the management of w. H. Clune, of Los Angeles, who is firm believer in the mines of Silver Creek. The Moss f mine was under control of inefficient managers when last worked, but it is the intention of the new company to put a thorough mining man in the property when work is resumed. The old shaft on the Moss was sunk into broken ground and instead of sinking through the break drifts were run in circles through the country in search of the vein, when the starting point in | each instance was on the vein. About year ago Messrs. Gabbert, Shaw and Suther took lease on the property and had they the financial backing neces- sary to carry their plans through they would undoubtedly have made pro- ducer Of the mines.
 Jack Sales, one of the best known copper mining experts on the coast, and one of the officials of the Giroux Copper Company, of Ely, Nevada, has Just returned from the south part of the county, where he made an exami- nation of the old Price property, on i Bill Williams Fork, and other prop critics in that vicinity. He was quite enthusiastic over the copper outlook in that quarter and believes that with in six months the Amalgamated peo- pie will be taken hand in the game. It is probable that the people repre- scented by Mir. Sales will take over group of mines and will commence their active development. Owing to the conformation of the country in and around Bill Williams Fork the ore bodies can be prospected with core, many of the veins lying at dip of about twenty degrees. The veins hav- ing greater inclination than twenty are not in the same formation as that along the north bank of the Fork and above Planet crossing. The Copper Prince is almost vertical and is opened by shaft to depth of about 300 feet. The Planet has dip of about twenty feet and is also opened by shaft, but l good work could have been done on it by drilling. The Price and other mines lying along the Planet belt can be tested throughout by core drills at small expense and it is probable that this method will be employed.
