Mohave County miner., 1910-12-03
Mines of the County


 trict the past week. Those that have come here are of the opinion that thls county will be one of the liveliest sec tions of the territory this winter.
 George Hanson and L. Kimberly have completed the assessment work on the Red Hills mines, south of town for T. L. Ayers. The mines have been known as the Fay since the dis covery, and have produced some re- markedly good gold ore.
 Everything about the mill of the Frisco Power and Mining company is being gotten in readiness to begin the crushing of ore and we understand that the mill will be in commission about the fifteenth of the month. The company has great reserves of ore to work on and he values are said to be exceptionally high.
 The New Jersey mine, at Chloride, is now one of the shippers of that camp, a large shipment of ore having been sent to Needles last week. The mine is showing up big in ore possi- bilities and ought to become a regular shipper Much of the ore from this property can be handled through the concentrator, high grade smelling product resulting from the elimination of the silica.
 The big engine at the power house is being gotten in place and will be in commission within a short time. Along the transmission line work is under way diverting the juice to other points beyond Goldroad and north of the Tom Reed. With the new unit the plant will be able to supply the differ ent camps with double the horsepower now in use. H. N. Tracy, general manager of the company, is out along the line getting the new installations set and looking after the stringing of the heavy transmission wires to other camps.
 James H. Huron, president of the Wallapai Mining & Development con- pany, owning the Tennessee group of mines, at Chloride, came in from Los Angeles last Saturday and has been looking over the holdings of hls con- pany. Last Monday the shareholders of the company held a meeting at Chlo- ride and approved the agreement made by the directors authorizing the sale of the mines and mill to the Need les Mining & Smelling company. The latter company has been operating the mines the past year and have made big progress in the opening of the property by a new shaft. It is expect ed that within short time the Needles Mining & Smelling company will be able to reach the old ore bodies and regular shipments will then be made to the shelter.
 F. D. Mcdonald, who has been do- ing assessment work on the molyb- denum mines, in Copper Canyon, ar
  brings news of the opening of a great body of ore in the Whale mine, of the group. In a letter from w. r. Carr, who has charge of the work, the state ment is made that the drift shows five feet of ore and that the hanging wall of the vein has not been reached. Samples of native and cuprite copper were brought in from the mine that show the copper to be massive. MT. Mcdonald says that the ore body is widening and his belief is that within the next fifty feet the vein will be as large as the outcrop, where nearly twenty feet of ledge shows up. The Whale vein is one of the largest in the Cedar section and the showing of ore is remarkable.
 George W. Gibson, of Denver, and $. A. Giles, of Colorado Springs, ar rived in Kingman yesterday morning and have gone out to Stockton Hill, where they will look over properties owned by the Precious Metals com pany, and also make an examination of the J. F. T. group. The latter group of mines is owned by Smith & Sawyer, Gaddis & Perry Company, W. A. Studley and E. D. Swope, consisting of nine claims on the great porphyry dike running through the district. This dike is one of the best mineralized of any of the great dikes of the county, carrying immense veins of gold, sil- yer, copper, lead and zinc. At no point on the veins, extending over an -E ---..--....l ..sl..- L. .L-.--
