Mohave County miner., 1909-10-30

this morning conveys the information that a strike of 125$ ore was made last night in the west drift of the Carter mine. The drift was run diagOnally through the vein and at distance of about thirty feet from the shaft the big ore body was encountered. The strike is said to be one of the best in that property and the shareholders at , Oatman and Gold Road are jubilant.
 Count Apponyl, related by mar riage to the Vanderbilts, claims to have located damsite on the Colorado riv- CT 180 miles above Needles, where he and associates will put in a dam to generate power for transmission to Los Angeles, Nevada and Arizona points. The site of the proposed dam is at point in the Black Canyon, above Eldorado Canyon, but just where is not indicated. The Count evidently did not have preliminary survey of the situation, or he has gotten his plans twisted. Eldorado Canyon is only 75 miles above Needles, while the mouth of the Virgin is not over 50 miles above the Canyon, which would bring the site somewhere in Boulder canyon, and above the Ne vada line. But nevertheless, the Count is on the right track. A dam for power purposes in any of the Can- yons of the Colorado river would be one of the greatest wealth producing projects in the country and would be of inestimable benefit in the rapid de- velopment of the country bordering on the river. We hope the Count may induce his moneyed relatives to take up the scheme and carry it through to successful issue.
 c. J. Hutchison, who went to Los Angeles last week to purchase milling machinery for the Expansion mine, re- turned the first of the week, having purchased a mill and an electric light plant. The mill will be put in at once and the ores now on the dumps treated by the cyanide process. The mine is now capable of making large output, which will later require mill of large capacity to handle.
 R. H. Corbett, of San Diego, Texas, was visitor in Kingman this week Mir. Corbett was interested to some extent in Mohave county mines few years ago, and being guardian of the estate of Jerald Delamer, is looking into some mining interests that the young man owns. Mr. Corbett is one of the wealthiest land owners in south Texas.
 c. J. Rhodes, wife and two children came up from Needles the first of the week and will make Kingman their home for the winter. Mr. Rhodes is heavily interested in the Treasure Key and other mines near Oatman, O. which large amount of work is being done. The Treasure Key is said to be showing splendid bodies of ore of a very high grade.
 D. M. Martin, who promoted the Colorado River Irrigation company, in the Mohave valley, some years ago, but which company was wiped out by the high water of the past few years, has new project on hand, which con- templates the irrigation of the valley lands by means of canals and the dyk. ing of the river to prevent it's over- flowing the lands.
 Mr. and Mrs. David Nelson have been visiting with friends in Kingman the past few weeks. It is understood that the firm of cattlemen, of which Mir. Nelson is the senior member, is fast selling off its cattle and have pur- chased the E. c. Smith sheep and will gradually cover their territory with sheep.
 It is understood that the new Mill of the Tom Reed will be placed in con- mission about the fifteenth of the month. With this new mill pounding away on the rich ores from the winze and 300 level of the mine the bullion output will be surprise to the people of the country.
