can do the work to depth far below
the present level of that property.
R. J. Ferguson, general manager of
the Redemption Copper company, is in
Kingman. The company has been at
work the past several months on its
property, arranging for the erection
of a mill and developing the property.
This company has one of the best
properties in the Chloride section and
is getting it in shape to make big
output.
J. H. Hobbs, of Denver, has been
looking over the mines in the Vivian
section this week. 1t is understood
that he has made an offer for the Tom
Reed mines, but that the offer is in
allegiance pending the litigation over
the property. Mr.. Hobbs represents
some of the best people in the United
States and it Is to be hoped that he
gets in right in this county.
The Expansion mine continues to
show up great values in the ore in the
shaft. which was recently encountered
in sinking below the old level. Some
of the samples brought to Kingman
show up handsomely in free gold.
The management of the property is
iubilant over the strike and is making
strenuous effort to get down on it
and open a stope before the mill has
been put in commission.
There was a rumor on the streets of
Kingman this week that great strike
Of rich ore was recently made 10 the
Tom Reed mine, at Oatman. The ore
was reported to be the richest ever
taken from a mine in the territory,
running into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the ton. No authoritative
information can at this time be OBJ
tanned and we give the rumor for what
it is worth.
Judge and Mrs. H. F. Best departed
Thursday night TO their old home in
Savannah. Mo-, where they will re-
main several months. During the
past winter Judge Best operated the
Treasure Hill group of mines, driving
the shafts deeper and extending the
drifts. The last shipment of ore from
the property, which was sold 10 the
Needles smelter, gave an average
value of 260 ounces silver to the ton.
The mine never looked better, large
bodies of ore having been opened up
in the lower drifts.
In prosecuting the vein of the Sun
shine mine, at Union Pass, J. d. Rich
ardson, last week, opened up a splen-
did vein of ore running up into the
hundreds of dollars to the ton in value.
Some of the ore was brought to King
man that shows gold all through il.
The specimens are similar in character
to that of the Billy Bryan mine, at
Goldroad. MIR. Richardson has opened
the mine in many places by crosscuts
and drifts along the strike of the vein
an everywhere was found good ore.
Thomas Hogan came in from the
Thumb Butte group of mines, over in
the Union Pass section, last Saturday.
He reports that work on the Atlantic
Pacific claims has developed some
wonderful bodies of ore. In the drift
a small stringer of ore running over
3O,OOOS in gold was found, the ore run.
ming more than forty feet in the drift.
While small the stringer throughout
shows wonderful values. On the sur.
face the same stringer showed values
exceeding 5,000S in gold. The entire
six feet of vein matter runs high in
gold. Mr.. Hogan and associates, J. c.
TUtts and l.. Kimberly, are jubilanl
over the big strike.
The Desert Power and Water Com
pany this week received another con
signment of poles from California
These poles are cedar and are of large
size. Four carloads were dropped of
at McConnicO, from which point they
will be distributed across the VALLEY
to Gold Road and Oatman. The othel
carloads are to be sent out from King
man. The company also received ;
large consignment of water and steam
pipe for the big plant in this place
The expectation now is that befor,
sixty days the big plant will be put il
