mines show great bodies of milling ore
and water sufficient for the plant has
been developed near by.
George A. Sewers, " mo has charge
of the operations of a mining company,
in the Wright Creek section of Cot
tonwood mining district, is in town.
He reports work on the mines giving
satisfactory results. The mines were
formerly owned by the estate of the
late VIM. Crowell and show good
values wherever opened.
Mrs. Cordelia Kay, who is now in
Los Angeles, is said to have sold more
than 3,OOOS worth of turquoise from her
mines at Mineral Park and has made
some good investments in its manufac-
ture in that city. She recently enter
ed into a working agreement with a
company and is getting out the gem
one on marketing basis.
W. J. Wilson and wife came in from
L
ing out to Mineral Park the following
day in company of Ross H. Blakely.
Mr.. Wilson is general manager of the
Los Angeles Turquoise company and is
operating a tract of ground at Mineral
Park. He departed Wednesday night
TO Chicago, where the company has a
lapadary.
Thomas Hogan and L. Kimm erlyare
driving a drift on the vein of the At
lantic and Pacific mines, at Thun b
Butte. in the Union Pass section, ard
are opening up a splendid body of mill
ing ore. The Thumb Butte mines have
a splendid showing of ore and ought
u be attractive to mining investors.
This property is owned by John c.
Potts, chairman of the board of super
visors of this county, Thomas Hogan
and Lewis Kimmerly. They have
opened it by shaft and adit drift and
have ore in all the openings.
John Boyle, Jr., returned from st.
L lis last Saturday evening and is
cooking after his prosperous mining
business in Union Basin. He reports
having won the suit in the U. S. Cir
cult court, at St. Louis which was in
stituted by a man named Wyman, who
alleged that he was damaged to the
extent of 40,0O0S on account of trans
actions growing out of the sale of the
Orc Plata mines to a company of ST.
Louis men. The suit was practically
decided on the pleadings, the court
holding that Wyman had no cause of
action. While at St. Louis Mr.. Boyle
made arrangements for the taking up
of another large mining proposition.
Water has been brought in from the
Pasadena mines to the Tom Reed mill
and stamps began to drop last night.
Owing to the scarcity of water and the
installation Of new machinery the mill
has been idle the past few months.
Hereafter the mill will be run night
and day. All the bins and slopes are
full of rich ore and it. is expected that
the output of bullion from now on will
be great. On the levels splendid ore
has been opened up, at one place the
vein sho wing nine feet wide and the
ore averaging more than COS per ton.
In one of the Slopes there is three feet
of ore that gives results better than
3)0S per ton. All the values are in
gold. The property is one of the rich
est in the territory from present APP
pearances and should it develop the
same rich ore below the older ande-
sites it will be one of the greatest
properties on the coast.
Thomas McNeely, who has been at
work on the big conglomerate deposit
near Mineral Park the past six months,
has at last found the vein from which
the flow originally came. The vein
was cut from the bottom of a twenty
foot shaft, and, although it has not
been cut from wall to wall enough has
been seen to warrant him in the belief
that it is one of the big things of that
country. The conglomerates carry
values of five per cent copper, but the
vein carries better values in copper
and precious metals. The new ore is
grass green and is very handsome. For
years people have wondered whence
came this great mass of conglomerates
and various has been the conjectures
of mining men who have come from all
parts of the country to see and sample
it. Mr.. McNeely is continuing his
nroSnect work and eXDectS IN cut the
