Mohave County miner., 1909-09-11

He reports having recently opened up splendid body of ore in the big vein at depth of about POO feet below the apex. The ore carries good values in gold, silver and lead. This ore is heavily copper stained, but the copper values are small.
 A station has been cut at the level of the Holy Moses mine, now be- ing operated by the Arizona South western Copper company, and the crosscut to the vein is expected to be completed within day or two. Super intendent Hoffman is expecting the good news that rich ore has been en- countered at any moment, the ore above indicating that big body may be expected in the vein at the deeper level.
 A. c. Werden and w. H. Cullen, of Denver, who have been examining the mining property at Goldroad, recently acquired, passed through Kingman on their way home last Thursday. The property was formerly owned by Messrs. Sullivan and Mullen and lies close in to the Gold Road company's holdings. It is understood that work will be commenced on the mines at once and the veins opened to depth of five or six hundred feet. The sur face shows some good values, but it is believed that better ore will be en- countered with depth. E. A. Shaw is also interested in some of the property taken over by these people.
 Dan s. Richards, general manager of the Red Gap and other properties in this county, has been at the Red Gap the past few days. It is reported that the mine is showing up wonderful ore bodies, the recent cutting of the vein in the drift opening up a wonder ful body of ore averaging above sos to the ton. Should later development , demonstrate the ore to be as extensive as at present believed by the owners it will be one of the greatest proper ties in the county. The mine is situ- ated in an accessible locality and it's equipment will be but the work of a few weeks, as the company has ample machinery in this county that can, be removed to it on short notice. The same company is the owner of the big power plant at Needles and "juice" from this plant can be transmitted from the Victor mines at small cost.
 Walter Meyers came in from the Last Chance mine, at Wallapai Springs, Thursday last with the first bar of bullion from the little mill. He reports that saying of 25$ gold per ton was effected on the plates, but the base metals were allowed to go in- to the tailing pit, no means to save the values economically having yet been put in. The ore as it went over the plates showed that it contained good values in lead, which later on will be concentrated out. The mill is capable of hand ing about seven tons every fourteen hours. Water sufficient for all purposes has been developed close by the mine. A large boiler is to be put in and concentrating table. The mine from which the ore comes shows some good ore bodies, the shaft being sunk entirely in the class of ore that has been tried out in the mill. w. E. Frost, Walter Meyers, o. D. M. Cad dis and Harry Mehaffy are the owners of the property.
 s. R. Porter, of Los Angeles, and c. H. Scheu. of Salt Lake City, passed through Kingmah last Saturday on their way to Mineral Park, where they examined the properties owned by James Uncapher and Thomas Mc- Nicely. The gentlemen came in from that camp Wednesday, accompanied by Messrs. Uncapher and McNeely. and the following day contract was en- tered into by the terms of which Messrs. Porter and Scheu take over the famous old Keystone and many other properties in Mineral Park bas- in. It is understood that the purchase price is very large and that the guar antees are to begin work at once on the mines and exploit them to depth of many hundred feet The big cop- per vein at the entrance to the basin | ;e ha hu !, l;o,oo-l l.,n
