Mines of the County

This company has a shaft on the vein
one hundred feet in depth and have
opened up fine body of lead and gold
bearing ore.
$. E. Barron. of the Revenue Gold
Mines company, was in Kingman the
past two days on business connected
with that corporation. The company
is preparing to work group of claims
in the Chemehuevis mountains, in the
neiyhborhood of Scott's Well. 1t is
said the company has big showing of
gold and lead ore.
James CRANE, of San Diego, to-
gether with other associates of the
Bay City, have taken over the Cruz
mine. at Cedar, and will at once begin
its exploitation. The mine is an ex-
tension of the San Francisco and S
said to be very rich in gold. Speci
mems exhibited in Kingman about a
year ago were the richest ever taken
from a Mohave county mine.
George Klemp, who has been at
work on the Summit mine, near Layne
Springs, for James Bone, is in King
man. Mr.. Klemp has been making
good Roadway with the work on the
deep cross country drift, but it will be
some months before it reaches the
vein. The Summit vein is one of the
largest in that section and carries ore
of good milling values.
A rumor is current in Kingman that
a big strike of gold ore was made this
week in one of the dykes near Mud
Springs by E. w. Walker. The strike
was made on a vein running in the d.
rection of the Pilgrim mines and is
near the summit of the Blue Ridge
range, about half way between Burns
ranch and Mud Springs. Several pros
pectors have gone to the scene of the
strike and within a few days we will
be able To obtain more definite news.
J. S Withers spent Sunday and
Monday last at Chloride and looked over
a mum Der of the mining properties of
the camp. He visited the Rainbow
group and was shown through that
property by II. L. McCarn, general
manager. The shaft on this property
has reached a depth of 80 feet, levels
have been run off at the 100, $50, 200
aud 240. AT all these points fine ore
has been opened up. AT the 240 level
there is an unbroken body of ore, four
ct in width and 200 feet in length,
which carries good values in gold, sill
yer and lead. 1t is the intention of
the management to sink two more
lifts, run levels and put the mine in
thorough shape before any stopping
whatever will be done. 1t is thought
enough ore is now in sight to pay divi-
dends on the issued stock of the CON-
pany for several years. The company
has been quietly at work the past two
years, having equipped the property
with machinery and working a force
of men in development continuously.
In the early days it produced thou
sands of tons of heavy lead ore and
always yielded profit.
There is one locality in the Cerbat
section that has always appealed to us
as an ideal spot for the sinking of a
deep prospecting shaft, and that is
either on the Golden Gem, the Idaho,
or the Flores, from which shaft one OF
the greatest systems of veins could be
cut in a distance of less than 700 feet.
Everyone of these veins is ore bearing
and have been heavy producers of gold
and silver. The Flores is one of the
Oldest of that section and was worked
fully forty years ago by the Mexicans
and whites when the camp was first
d scovered. A consolidation of all in.
terests should be perfected, bringing
every interest under one head anC
work every vein through one big shaft
The Gem now has a shaft 600 feet deer
and this could be continued to 1000 feet
and crosscut run through to the
Flores, which is the westermost of the
nest of veins, a distance of six or sever
hundred feet. At this depth water
for milling purposes would undoubt
eddy be developed and the rim rock
broken through. 1t has always beer
the opinion of biologists that below
the rim rock of Wallapai district lie:
a much softer country rock and thai
the veins will be found much larger
and better mineralized than in the
tight ground of the upper rim rock
formation. This shaft Wo,lld solve thi.
