Mohave County miner., 1909-07-17
Mines of the County

man Thursday night ana are Outnttlng for trip to the Burro mines, where it is probable they will do large amount of work. This property is being pro- noted by Capt. $. E. Rose, who was here about month looking over Mo- have county property.
 Tom J. Grant, superintendent of the Nevada Arizona Gold Mines company, was a Kinglnan visitor this week. Mir. Grant is getting things in good shape at the mines and will soon have the properties opened in best of shape to make big output of milling ore. The adit drifts on the mines are eX- pected to tap the best of the ore bodies at great depth.
 John Barry and wife departed to Los Angeles last Thursday evening, where they will remain some time. Mr. Barry is the owner of valuable mining property in Chloride, upon which he has been doing large amount of devel- opment work the past year. At the Towne mine he has opened up great bodies of high grade gold ore, much of it running into the hundreds of dollars to the ton.
 Sam and Charles Butler, formerly Of this county, but not owners of valuable mining property in the Bill Williams Fork section, departed to Los Angeles a few days ago. Sam Butler has been managing the Corona Copper company, near Bouse, the past year and has ob- tained big results. The mines for merly belonged to Mir. Butler but were sold to the company for large amount of money, although all the pay ments have not yet been made. This company contemplates the building of a great dam in Striped Canyon, on Bill Williams Fork, where power for min ing and other purposes will be gener ated Ed. Fuller, formerly resident of this county, sold the dam site to the company.
 George Ayers and Tom Patterson have their shaft on a mining claim, paralleling the Railroad, down 50 feet and report having nice body of ore in the bottom. This vein is claimed to be the Goldroad vein, and many peo- pie believe it to be true, as it--shows all the indications of bearing the same character of ore as that found in all the other openings on the big lode. Patterson has been at work long time tracing out the big vein and it is possible that he has at last found the right spot Heretofore it has been ac- cepted without question that the vein the Railroad and Last Chance lodes, and it is more than proba ble that these locations contain part of the big vein, at least. All along the Last Chance is to be found immense vein matter and even on the east side of the noun tain the vein matter is as large as that shown in the Goldroad.
 J. w. Moore, president of the Gold en Star Mining company, was King man visitor this week. Mir. Moore re- ports that the company has closed down work on the Golden Gem mine for the present, but it seems to us too valuable mine to lie idle long. The company has been handicapped the past year by lack of water, sulphur retted waters in the mine and other causes which have initiated against the mine and mill. Now. that this company feels itself unable to finance this property, we would like to see some well financed company take over the group of mines surrounding the anderbilt, Columbus, Idaho and Flores-and consolidate them, sinking a deep shaft and working all the properties through one opening. There is no question of the values con- tained in these mines nor is there any question of the ores responding to metallurgical treatment on the ground. A deep shaft would furnish the neces- sary water for milling purposes and the complex ores that the mines would furnish would make it possible to put in separating plant that would make large number of marketable products that under present condition go to waste. It has been our opinion, and also that of many mining men, that
