Mines of the County

J. D. Leedy, of the Ruth mine, San Francisco district, is in Kingman look ing after mining matters.
 Work is progressing on the shaft on the Big Bethel mine, in Todd Basin, and the new holster will soon be in place.
 The Bi-Metal mill will soon be SUD- piled with water supply sufficient to make it possible to run the full twen- ty-four hours. A gasoline pump is be- ing installed on one of the wells and the other well is being equipped with an electric pump.
 Fred Brown, who has been working on contract at Music Mountain, came in from that camp last night. He re- ports that things are shaping up well at the mines and that he believes the company has one of the best looking gold properties in that section of the county.
 O. B. Amsden, general manager of the Gold Bug mine, was in Kingman this week. Mr. Amsden is systemati- cally opening up the Gold Bug and will soon have it in shape to produce a large daily tonnage of high grade milling ore. The ore body in the lower levels of the property is improv- ing with every foot of development.
 George w. Gibson, who is largely interested in the Wallapai Precious Metals company, of Stockton Hill, de- parted last Saturday to his home in Denver. He will return to Kingman in few weeks to look after mining interests. Work is now being carried on in tunnel on the property of the company on the Hillside mine.
 A large amount of machinery is go- ing out by the Chloride train every other day consigned to the Expansion Gold Mines company, at Union, from which point teams are hauling out to the mines. A milling plant will soon be delivered at the mine and before many months it will be in commission and pounding out the yellow metal.
 A representative of Beer, Sond- heimer and Company, one of the larg- est ore buying concerns in Germany, is in Kingman negotiating for the out put of several large zinc properties. Beer, Sondheimer x Company has offices in Frankfort, Germany, and New York City. It has smelters in the United States and Europe and handles its product until it reaches the hands of the consumer.
 T. E. O'Brien, who, with Eli Hilty, promoted the deal on the Ruth and Rattan mines, in the San Francisco district, made an examination of the property this week. He reports that the mine is looking fine. The main shaft has reached depth of about 100 feet and shows big body of high grade milling ore. Another lift will be sunk on the property and levels run in the sulphide zone.
 Otto Sussman, representing the American Lead and Zinc company, a Guggenhelm concern, is examining mining property in this county. It is probable that his people will enter the county and take over several of the large zinc properties. The people represented by Mr. Sussman are among the largest lead and zinc oper. ators in the world and Mohave county will be benefited to marked degree by the entry of this company.
 Henry Lang and J. D. Jordan went out to Union Pass to look over the White Bird group of mines. While examining one of the veins Mr. Jor- dan discovered a streak of immensely | rich gold ore, specimens of which | were brought to town for exhibition. The mines are owned by Mike Cole man and Henry Lang. Considerable work has been done on the properties the past two years and the showing is one of the best in that section. The newly found ore body will be opened by the owners as soon as possible.
 A. l.. White, of Lima, Ohio, owner of the Victor mine and mill in this county and the Needles power plant, is looking over mining property here, accompanied by Dan s. Richards and
