Mines of the County

The holster for the Carter Mining company was received in Kingman yes terday and is loaded ready to send on to the mines, Grading for the holster is under way at the mine and within few days it will be ready to place the big machine. This plant is equipped with three drill compressor and all necessary equipment for the machines.
 Elsmer Bessenyoy, of N. Szalonta, Hungary, brother-in-law of Kubelik, the noted violinist. arrived in King m n few days ago to look after mat ters connected with the International Mining Company, in which he and Kubelik are interested. It is his in- tention to get matters strengthened out and it is probable that work will be started up on the mines as soon as financial matters have been arranged.
 w. A. Mensch, president of the En- terprise mining company, has gone to Philadelphia, where he will look after business connected with the operations of the company in this county. The shaft is now being sunk on this mine to depth of several hundred feet be- low the present level and the ground is to be explored at regular intervals. In the level from the POO nice body of copper ore has been opened and this is being explored with view to get ting at its extent.
 J. w. Morgan, superintendent of the Golden Gem mines, was King man visitor this week. He is awaiting the analysis of the ores of the Gem be- fore further mill work is undertaken, as the loss is too great under present conditions. It may be possible that a scheme can be devised that will effect ually eliminate the present difficulty in the matter of milling and saving the gold values on plates at the little plant. The mine never looked better nor did it ever have so much ore of a milling grade in sight, but the water contains a solution that is detrimental to the amalgamation of the ores, and this will have to be eliminated in some way. Of course, concentration of the ores is possible, but in this there is loss that could readily be placed in the profit column by plate amalgamation, which had heretofore been carried on so successfully before the change was encountered in the waters of the mine.
 H. N. Tracey, of the Tracey Engin- eering company, is looking over the power lines to Gold Road. The pole line is completed to Little Meadows and the work of carrying the poles over the mountain is now in progress. The first wire for stringing was sent out yesterday and the line men will soon be at work. Yesterday the trans formers were received and are being placed in the big plant. These trans. formers weigh about four tons each and are of the latest design. At the present time everything is in readiness to start up, although the connection has not yet been made between the dynamos, switchboard and transform CTS, which will take but a few days longer. Steam will probably be gen. erated in the boilers this coming week and the engines turned over and dyna- mos tested out. While Gold Road will not be ready to receive power before the first of August it is certain that transmission can be made by the first of July.
 Last Wednesday J. c. Goulding, driver of the big Hutchison auto, drove the machine to Eldorado Canyon with four passengers, J. F. Withers, John Hamilton, Thomas Devine and R. M. Bechtel. The trip was made in excellent time, the party arriving at the camp of the Colorado River Dredg- ing company in about three hours, where they were handsomely enter. tained by the company. Leaving the camp late in the afternoon the party passed several hours in Chloride, ar. irving in Kingman about one a. m. Thursday morning, the trip of l5C miles having been made in about 1s hours. At the dredger camp the vis- itors found that work had been almost
