Mohave County miner., 1909-07-03

teams prevent the handling of forty tons of shipping ore daily, although there is being sent out car each day to the shelter. There are about 75 men working in the mine, besides teamsters and roustabouts. The con- pany is also working small force of men on the Tub mine and good ore is showing up in the opening.
 E. F. Warner, president of the Ne vada- Arizona Mines Company, was in Kingman few days ago on his way to Los Angeles, where he will buy lum- Der and timbers for the mines at Mus ic mountain. Superintendent T. J. Grant came in with him and returned to the mines the following day. The company is preparing to sink the main shaft on the old Tomanotta mine to a depth of 800 feet and open the prop- erty thoroughly to that depth. The shaft now stands at depth of 200 feet, where recent cave disclosed another vein that carried values of 25$ per ton. The ground is quite heavy and it is probable that the shaft will have to be retimbered with heavier timbers. A small mill is to be put in as soon as sufficient water has been developed. The holster will be put on the shaft at once and work rushed. Two tunnels are being driven into the mountains, the adits being at the same point, for the purpose of tapping two veins at a depth of about 800 feet. It is expected that these tunnels will develop water in quantity. The mill is to be placed below the dumps of the tunnels and ore run into the bunkers from each place. A spring above the camp is being developed, the source being tapped with short drift. Water from this spring will be carried into camp for domestic and other uses. Mir. Warner believes the company has an excellena group of mines and pro- poses to develop them into the produc- ing stage as rapidly as men and money can do it.
 Ed. Frankforter came up from the Chemehuevis mountains this week, the hot weather in that locality being too much for him. He will return to the mines as soon as the weather moder- ates. The old School Marm mine, on which he has been at work, is one of the best of the small gold properties in that section, having yielded many thousands of dollars in the past ten or fifteen years.
 Harry Jorgensen, who recently left here for the mines of Sierra county, California, writes the editor of the Miner that the mine owners of Ale gheny are running around with big chunks of gold in their pockets. A man named Johnson has taken loo, ,OOO$ in gold from his claim so far and has 60,000S in gold nuggets stored in his houoC. Nii oho ihiuC o"hCIS are pFOS- porous and many miners are employed at good wages.
 Will Darling and four other miners have opened up a wonderful body of ore on a mining claim. close in to the Carter mines, in Tom Reed section. A shaft was sunk on the property and at superficial depth rich ore was en- countered. The vein has been opened in many places by the men and free gold has been found. From miners that have looked the property over we learn that it is one of the best in the district.
 Dan R. Richards passed through here a few days ago on his way to the Red Gap mine, which he is operating on lease and bond for his eastern as- sociates. He reports having discon- tinued work on the Green Cam pbell mines at Vanderbilt, the workmen be- ing brought over to work on the Red Gap.
 Prospectors returning from the mountains of this county report that the small springs are practically dried up and the big springs show greatly diminished supply.
 Charles Metcalfe spent several days this week at the Horseshoe mines, at
