Mines of the County

pany will begin active operations sometime next month.
 w. c. Bishop and w. D. Grannis are having the title work done on large group of mines in the neighborhood of Vivian and Tom Reed. Some of the claims show good ore bodies and ex- ceptionally good values.
 J. T. Wallace is interested in a group of mines northwest of White Hills that give every evidence of prov ing up big at depth. Recently an engineer named D. R. Emmett made an examination of the group and thought quite we'll of it. The veins are very large and we'll situated for economic working.
 The shaft on the Holy Moses mine, south of Kingman, is being sunk to the POO level. The ground at the 100 level is much broken, although some nice ore was found through the mass. Above that level there is fine body of ore, which was recently tried out in the little mill with gratifying results. The company is also doing some work on the Santa Fe mine, in the same vein, and is getting some splendid ore. With greater depth on the property it is believed that water in sufficient quantity for all milling purposes will be developed
 Work on the new shaft of the Ari- zona Gold Mines is progressing rapidly depth of about seventy feet having been obtained. It is expected that air drills will be used in this shaft and work rushed from now on. The new machines have been installed and will be working in few days. It is probable that water will be struck in large quantities in this shaft with a depth of few hundred feet, which can be used for milling purposes. The shaft is being put down on the north wall of the mine, in which portion of the property the richest ore has been found.
 Charles J. Hutchison arrived in Kingman yesterday from the mines of the Expansion Gold Mines company, at Union Pass. He reports that the mill is fast approaching completion, and that work is progressing on the two drifts now being run into the vein. One of these drifts will tap the shaft recently sunk in the big vein and which is said to have a fine showing of milling ore. It will be through this drift that all ore for the mill will be drawn. Machines are now being used in driving ahead and the intervening space will be cut through inside of a month.
 J. D. Leedy and J. L. Pierce return ed from Phenix last Thursday, where they have been looking into the mat ter of incorporating their mining con- pany on the Rattan mines. Associated with these gentlemen in the promo tion of the Rattan-Ruth mines is Rex Beach, author of the Spoilers" and other novels that have met the popu. lar approval. The gentlemen have been operating a close corporation, but now contemplate branching out on a wider scale. The work of carrying the shaft on the Ruth mine to con- siderable depth is being pushed under the management of Eli Hilty, an ex- cellent mine manager. Good ore has been found all the way in this shaft. much of the ore running over sixty dollars to the ton and the average be- ing about sos to the ton in gold.
 Thomas Hogan and L. Kimberley, who have been at work on the Allan. tic X Pacific mines, near Thumb Butte, over in the Union Pass section, are in Kingman. Mir. Hogan brought with him fifteen pounds of ore from one of the claims, from which he ob- tained nearly thirty dollars in gold, or an average of about two dollars Der pound. He had the gold cast into small buttons, which would make beautiful shirt buttons or for other ornamental use. The Atlantic X Pa citic mines are owned by Thomas Ho. gan, L. Kimberley and J. c. Potts. The gentlemen have done a large amount of work on the veins and now have fine showing of rich ore. One of the veins is mite larne and tho nno
