Mines of the County

Gardiner, between Goldroad and Oat- man is still showing pict, re ore at the one hundred foot level.
 H. A. Perkins, who is interested in mines in the Gold Flat section has re- lrned after an absence of nearly a year and will resume w' rk on his prop critics.
 U. s. Mineral Surveyor P. McCar- dell has been employed to survey four teen claims for A. w. Bratland. This group is on Silver Creek, about four miles southwest of Goldroad.
 At Mineral Park, Joe Prisk and Pardue are still getting rich silver ore from the Home Pastime. This mine is like bank to the boys. For the past year it has yielded many ship ments of high grade silver ore.
 J. A. Hamme, who operated at Gold Flat last year, has returned from an extended trip on the coast and will re- sume mining. He has sold an interest in several properties and has con. tract to sink two fifty-foot holes.
 An automobile took out party, co . sisting of E. N. Lamont, O. D. M. Cad dis, Geo. H. Geary and Walter Fello s to the Pilgrim mine, where an ex- a nination of this noted property will be made. They returned Thursday.
 L. D. Godshall was in Kingman Monday and made payment on the Alpha mine, which he has under bond. Work will be in progress soon on this property. The parties receiving the payment were P. Caffrey, Mrs. Foster Dennis and Mrs. E. B. Smith.
 Work is to be resumed on the mines at Cedar. Preliminary to operating the mines, the road leading from Yucca will be put in shape. A prop osition was made to the county to put up half the expense, the mining con- pany standing the other half, and the work is now in progress.
 The Bunker Hill mine is being de- veloped by tunnel which will cut the ore shoot which has yielded such fine copper ore, at depth of more than 100 feet It is now in 112 feet and is about 25 feet from the shoot. T. s. O'Brien, who has the property under bond, is pushing the work.
 At the foot of Sherum's Peak near the Rural and Buckeye mines, Mir. Peck of the Los Angeles Turquoise Co.,, has departed from gem finding and taken over mine which was for meply chlorided on by some Mexicans, and will develop it for silver and gold It yielded rich ore in the early days of mining in Mineral Park.
 The shaft on the Horseshoe mine at Cerbat, has reached a depth of 270 feet. At three hundred and fifty feet a station will be cut and levels run to the two outside lodges. On account of the great distance it is necessary to run these drifts they are only made every two hundred feet. The vein on which the shaft was sunk is giving good values in gold.
 The Arizona Gold Mines Company is making preparations to survey for pat ent ten claims, including the famous Bi-Metalic or Mcguire mine. This property, which is three miles south of Kingman, is destined to be one of the great low grade mines of the west. Many of the outlying claims show con- ditions similar to the mine now being operated, and will doubtless be big producers.
 The shaft on the Golconda has reached depth of 335 feet and the ore in the bottom still holds as good as that mined above. An output of car of Al per cent zinc ore, daily, still con- tinues. MT. Boyle will shortly start a tunnel from surface ground on the Tub mine, which will be 800 feet long and cut the Golconda vein at depth of $50 feet. This will do away with the necessity of wire tram, which has been contemplated.
 This week George Lockwood brought in from his mining camp, near the old Sixty three, samples of ore from his property that was masses of horn sill yer. The ore was taken from good sized vein to the southwest of the old
