Mines of the County

J. Connolly. Rich gold ore was found
on an old claim and from all reports
another good mine will be added to
the list of producers.
Assessment work is about completed
on outside properties of the Enterprise
group of mines, and within a few days
force of men will be put to work to
sink the shaft on the main mine to a
depth of 400 feet.
The Treasurer Key Mining Co.,
working the Treasurer Key mine at
Vivian, has discovered very rich ore at
the 2OO-level. C. J. Rhodes, the man
ager, who visited Kingman this week,
thinks the nine is bonanza.
NJ. A. Moore came in from the Dixie
Queen mine the first of the week. A
good road to the mine is about COM
pleted. Mr.. Moore contemplates put
ting on an auto-truck with which to
do his freighting from the railroad.
The crew which is putting in holes
for the poles of the power plant line to
Gold Road, is now working on the
western end and eamped at Little
Meadows. Both pumping stations will
be put in commission when the power
is turned on.
T. S. O'Brien, who has charge of
the work on the Golconda zinc mine,
is ia town. He says the mine is
looking better as development pro-
ceeds. At present more than five hun
dred feet of ore has been exposed to a
depth of more than two hundred feet
in the two lodges.
Henry Lovin returned from Kelvin
Tuesday. He is manager of two
stores, one at Kelvin, the other at
Ray, assisted by an able lieutenant,
Chas. McNeely. Both stores he re-
ports as doing good business. Hen
ry brought specimen taken from
strike near there that makes a mining
man want to take off his hat and
hurrah for Arizona. II is a chunk of
gold, destitute of quartz, worth about
sixty dollars.
The Los Angeles papers announce
that the contract for the mill to be
erected at Gold Road by the Gold
Road Mining and Exploration Co., has
been let to the Llewellyn Iron Works
Of hot aff hn l.
at 50,000S. While the papers speak of a
40 stamp mill, no mention is made of
the two tube mills, which increase the
capacity of the plant to equal hun
dred stamp mill. The foundation for
the mill has already been laid and a
vast amount of lumber for the big
building hauled out, but it will be
some months before the machinery is
placed in position and the crush
ing of ore begins.
News has reached Kingman of an
important find of gold ore made in the
Expansion mine, at Union Pass at a
depth of $50 feet. At this depth ore
has been encountered in the great
vein that would create an excitement
in any other country where such
strikes were not as common as they
are in the range of mountains which
border the river. Gold visible to the
eye is found in much of the rock,
while the entire shaft is in milling
ore. The Expansion group is situated
along the immense vein which out
crops boldly through the country for
distance of six miles, and many good
properties are found on it. The day
is not far distant when there will be a
number of mills working on ore from
this great ledge.
A few weeks ago, Jack Flynn pros
pected the country near Jenney's
spring, on the road from White Hills
to Eldorado Canyon, and located a
property north of the road for himself
and Hugh Wilson of Chloride. A lit
tie development showed phenomenal
values and the Pierson brothers of
Tonapah, were communicated with and
Immediately came to the scene of the
strike. So impressed were they with
its Importance, that they collected all
necessary reports, including long list
of high assays and samples of ore that
fairly glistened with gold, and in COM
pany with Flynn, left Tuesday night !
for New York city, where they expect
to place the property. The assays show
that find of more than usual import
ance has been made, as they denote |
ore valued at from sos to 5OOOS in gold |
and samples brought to kingman show
