Mines of the County

in the Chloride section looking over mining properties. The gentlemen are well pleased with the mining out look and believe that this county is destined to become one of the big pro- ducers of the territory.
 William Ochs, of Salt Lake City, who has a bond on the McKesson mines, near Little Meadows, was in Kingman several days this week and visited the property. It is understood that work is to be started up on the mines soon.
 Fred D. Brown came in from the Chemehuevis mountain few days ago having completed assessment work on the claims of Manuel Ruiz. Mir. Brown made the fifteen miles on foot between the mines and the railroad, and ar rived here with the impression that Arizona miles are longer than the old English statute mile.
 Manuel Cervantes has made a dis covery of copper ore, near the old Mineral Park graveyard, that is as- suming considerable importance. The find is in the big porphyry belt run ming through that section and the ore is said to be extremely rich in the red metal. Mir. Cervantes is taking ore from the mine and will soon be able to make shipment to the shelter.
 w. A. Mcclure and wife, who have been Kingman visitors the past two weeks. MT. Mcclure looking after min- ing interests In this district, departed to their home in Chicago last Monday, making the trip by way of Los Angeles Mir. Mcclure is developing the Alpha mine, at Layne Springs. driving deep drift under the old works. It is ex- pected to reach the ore body within the next 100 feet.
 Tom Sickels has gone to Wallapai mountain where he will do assessment work on the Great Eastern group of mines, owned by the Great Eastern mining company. The main vein in this group is one of the largest in the Wheeler Wash section of Wallapai mountain and gives evidence of becom- ing large producer under develop ment. The ore is heavy in lead and carries some gold and silver values.
 George Aitken came in from the Cy- clopic mines Thursday last. He re. ports that diamond drill has been ordered and that as soon as it arrives at the mines it will be operated in drilling the ground in search of the ore body. The veins of Gold Basin are peculiar to that region, many oi them lying at dip of twenty from the horizontal and are much broken by the recent Holdings. Practically all the surface ores of these veins are rich and easily workable.
 H. N. Tracy and Joe Steed returned yesterday from Goldroad, where they made a survey for the power line that is to run from point below Goldroac to the Ruth mine, by way of the Moss back. The line to the Mossback will be of heavy copper wire, but to the Ruth property the line will be of the ordinary copper transmission wire. Ii is the intention of the company 10 later carry the line north from the Mossback to the country in Union Pass and mak. ing loop back to Kingman. The line to the Hercules runs out from the Tom Reed station, instead of being taker of the Ruth line. The company will soon have the lines in that section ir shape to furnish power to all the mines.
 J. M. Little, owner of mining prop erty in the Wright Creek section o Cottonwood district, is in Kingman MT. Little has been at work the pas summer on his mines and has made splendid headway. The main vein O his group runs through a great DOT phyry belt and shows ore practically the entire length of his locations. A shaft has been sunk to a depth of 4 feet and a crosscut driven through the vein 45 feet, showing a well minera lized vein. Several other superficial shafts and open cuts on the property show it to have unusual width. Som, of the ore gives averages above eigh per cent copper, but in the main tht ore is of low grade. MT. Little be lieves that when he reaches the sul phide he will have one of the best cop per propositions in the county. Tn,
