Mohave County miner., 1909-12-18

Angeles few days ago and is getting things in shape to go to the P. K. and K. P. mines, in the IXL Basin to do the annual work. These mines were located year ago by Ed Swope and in litigation over the title the court ordered the quieting against 1. M. George, who purchased the property at trustees sale, Mir. George dis claiming any right in the mines on the trial. Now, it is probable that more litigation will follow any attempt to do assessment work on the mines.
 Tom. J. Grant, superintendent of the Arizona Nevada G. M. company, is in town. He reports work progress sinp nicely on the property of the company and that rich find of ore was uncovered in the shaft of the old Ellen Jane mine, now known as the Lucknow. The ore is in parallel vein and a cave in the shaft brought it to light. Good buildings have been erected and the camp is one of the most comfortable in the county. The milling plant will soon be in operation and the shareholders will soon be treated to dividends.
 The trustee for the old Consolidated Arizona Smelling company, at one time operating the big smelter at Humbolt, this week paid off all liens for labor and ores on basis of ninety cents on the dollar. Payments were made at Prescott and more than fifty thousand dollars was disbursed. Ore shippers in Mohave county were caught in the crash when the smelter company went to the wall and they will now get something for the ores shipped two years ago. The Treasure Hill company had 3,900$ tied up in this company for ores shipped some months before the company failed.
 Messrs. Claire and Green, who are financing the Frisco Mining & Power company, departed to their homes last Saturday, after an inspection of the Gold Grown property, at Union Pass. The gentlemen are we'll pleased with the developments made on the property by Supt. Barton and believe they have one of the big things of the territory. MT. Green, we'll known mining engineer, is quite enthusiastic over the groperty and informed the editor of the Miner that the company contemplated big things for the prop erty during the coming year. The Gold Grown is being opened by a long tunnel that will tap the vein at great depth. The heading is now within less than one hundred feet of the vein and small stringers of ore are already showing up.
 Work is progressing steadily on the Cyclopic mines, at Gold Basin, S. c. Bagg being in charge of the opera tions. Enough of the ore taken from the developments is milled to pay all expense. No asserting is done, the ore taken from the shafts and drifts being miled just as it is broken down. The saving runs above 95 per cent, the average saving for the entire year being 1l.20S per ton. The ore is crushed through a twenty mesh screen and cyanided. Shafts are being sunk on the property and the vein cut in many places, showing an ore body six feet wide and averaging about fifteen dollars throughout the entire develop ed part of the vein. The management is working along conservatively, making it's expenses as it goes and opening up one of the most promising properties in the territory.
 Yesterday morning James Nelson, August Ekman, Andrew Anderson, John Burkman, of Minneapolis, and pr. F. Royce, of Brookings, s. D., ar- rived in Kingman and departed to the mines of the Hercules Mining con- pany. The gentlemen have been car rying the financial end of the company with little outside aid the past year and it is understood that no stock is now on the market. The company has been operating the property on a small scale, but has succeeded in op- ening up several splendid ore bodies. Rich ore was encountered in one of the openings few weeks ago, the
