Mines of the County


 copper ores daily.
 The drifts from the 70 foot level of the Ruth mine, near the old Moss, is now in quite distance and showing ore running above eos to the ton. When equipped with holster the shaft will be sunk to depth of 800 feet.
 The shaft on the Carter Gold Mines company property passed the 100 foot this week. The machine drills will be in use tomorrow and greater speed in sinking may then be looked for. The ore body is showing up splendidly and the vein is widening.
 The party of Goldfield men that went down to sample the Burro and other mines on Burro Creek, returned to Kingman this week. They were well pleased with the mines of that region and especially the possibilities of generating large water power for mining and milling purposes.
 Robert J. Ferguson and wife came in from Chloride last Thursday and are attending to business affairs. Mr. Furguson reports the Redemption mine looking fine and that the milling plant will soon be ready to begin dressing up the lower grade ores from the property for shipment 10 the smell ters.
 Ed. Patterson, who owns the bonan- ga mine under the escarpment of the range, high above the Tom Reed, is sacking rich gold ore for shipment to the smelter. Mr. Patterson has been at work on the mine the past several months and has shown up one of the finest bodies of ore in San Francisco district. Charles Goodrich of Gold road is interested in the property with MT. Patterson.
 It is reported that the Cedar mines are soon to resume operations. If the options of the Benedictine company on the properties are not taken up within the next month the old Cedar con- pany will begin work. The mines are undoubtedly all right, but the com panies have always put all their money into road building enterprises at the expense of the mines. Three roads have already been built into the mines at the cost of approximately 100,
 Chas. Metcalf and Dan s. Richards visited the mines of the Arizona Great Eastern group, in Wallapai mountains, last Monday. Mir. Richards was we'll pleased with the immense possibilities of this group of mines and freely ex- pressed himself to that effect. The veins of the group are among the larg- est in the entire mountain and show good values in lead, gold and silver. The property is well situated for eco- homie work, being among the tall pine timbers and close to a running SUredu OI WdUer.
 The Tom Reed people have succeed ed in reducing the flow of water in the main shaft on the mine and have cross- cut the vein to the other wall. Eff teen feet of good milling ore was cut, the ore being of better value than that found in the works above. The shaft was sunk outside the vein and at point where entry was made to the low grade part of the vein. Drifting to the high grade part of the vein and connection with the winze now be- ing sunk from the 25O level is under way. As soon as connection is made stopes will be opened and the mill will be furnished with large tonnage of the richest ore ever run through mill in the territory.
 Last Tuesday Jesse A. Tarr, in his touring car, brought from White Hills Malcom McLeish, J. F. Jones and the Root brothers. MT. Jones has been experimenting operations on the White Hills mines the past year, and MT. McLeish has been making tests on the ores from the big silver mines to ascertain their adaptibility to cy- anide treatment. It is understood that the tests were not very successful, but nevertheless the company intend to do a large amount of work in the near future for the purpose of opening
