Mines of the County

w. B. Campbell, the well known mining man of Cerbat, was King m visitor this week.
 It is now probable that the power plant at Needles will be removed to Kingman and another unit added, the power to be transmitted to the mining camps along the range to the north of Kingman. Should the White interests take over the Midnight and other mines at Chloride the big power plant will surely be brought here.
 s. R. Porter, accompanied by Col. l.. P. Hanson, of Pasadena, and s. H. DeWade, of Los Angeles, arrived in Kingman few days ago and went out to Mineral Park, where they examined the Keystone and other properties Leld under bond by Mr. Porter. The ger tlemen were much pleased with the mining outlook of Mineral Park and predict great future for the mines.
 Work is now in progress on the big moly ybdente group of mines in Copper Canyon, Cedar district, owned by l.. J. Lassell, w. J. Connor, and Smith x Sawyer. The mines compose large group and are situated in one of the greatest mineralized sections of the district. Nature has done large amount of mining in that section, cut ting the veins at right angles by deep ravines and eroding away the softer rocks from. the veins, leaving them standing high above their former en- closing walls. Every vein in the group is exposed in this manner, some of them to such an extent that they can be seen for miles standing bold and prominent across canyon and mountain.
 Tom Grant, superintendent of the Arizona Nevada Mines Company, at Music Mountain, was in town a few days ago. He reports that the shaft on the Lucknow has been timbered to the 200 level and that sinking will be commenced within a few days. There is no doubt that thls property will make splendid producer. Miners that caught up cave in this shaft a few years ago told the editor of the MINER that there was large parallel vein close to the Lucknow, the cave carrying ore from it through the cave. . This ore horned about 25S gold to the ton. The company is also getting along nicely with its other work and soon expects to begin placing the mill machinery.
 Charles Grimes and Mir. Welman, a representative of the Young Construc- tion company, passed through King man yesterday on their way to the Tom Reed mine, where the big mill ing plant is now in course of construc- tion. MT. Grimes, who is president of the Tom Reed company. stated that the big mill will he in commission by the tenth Of December, after which time bullion will be turned out in great bars. With the ore bodies now ready for stoping the product of the mine with the new mill in commission will certainly be immense. At present the output of the product is about 30,- OO0$ monthly, which will be more than trebled under the new conditions. Every effort is being made to create greater ore reserves and within a short time the larger mill can be de- luged with the richest product of the property. New shafts are now being sunk on the vein and the ore bodies will be reached at great depth. Drifting is being carried on on the lowest level and ore body systematic- ally opened.
 Col. l.. P. Hanson and Col T. E. McClelland visited the Union Pass mines this week and made an exami- nation of the great ore deposit near Meyers We'll. This group of mines is now in controversy between Col. Nc Cleland and Bob Brannock and the Union Pass mining company. Mr. Brannock obtained judgment against the company for salary and wages and the mines were sold tO satisfy tho
