Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1910-05-07

ing vein OF mineral.
J. J. Connolly, who has been at the
Crow Canyon mines, at COpperville
the past several months, has gone to
Todd Basin, where he will do a large
amount of work on his mining proper
~. He states that he has a number OF
promising claims in that section and
that he will sink shaft to a depth of
about 100 feet to see what they may be
able to turn out.
Work is now under way on the tun-
mel that is to tap the Minnesota Con-
nor mines at a depth of several hun
dred feet below the old workings in
that property. 1t will also cut other
veins in crossing the country into the
company's ground Should this tun-
mel be driven to connection with the
vein it will undoubtedly open up one
of the best systems of veins in the
Chloride section.
D. H. Richards is in Kingman from
the Alum Wash mines, where his COM
pany is doing large amount of work
A crosscut tunnel is now being driven
to cut one of the best looking veins of
the group at depth, where it is expect
ed that rich copper ore will be en-
countered. Mr.. Richards is interested
in some lands in the Wallapai valley
and believes that should water be
found there these lands will jump to
high prices per acre.
Some of the richest ore ever taken
from the G. o. d. mine is now being
taken out of the new shaft on that
property. Specimens of the ore that
have been sent to Kingman show much
native silver. Assays from a poorer
grade of ore gave results of more than
500 ounces silver and some gold. The
new ore ought to run nearly 1000
ounces silver, and appears to be get
ting better with every foot gained in
the drift. The ore body is getting
larger and more compact.
At the Redemption and Clyde mines
work Is being carried on by a small
work has been carried on so far that
it is probable that it will be placed in
commission next week. Ore is coming
from the mine and it is expected that
two carloads of rich shipping ore and
one car of concentrates will be sent to
the smelter within the next two
weeks. The ore now coming from the
mine is the richest ever produced by
the property, so it is reported.
A representative of the Giroux Cop
per company has located large num-
Der of properties in the .neighborhood
of the old Diamond Joe mine, in Cedar
district, and has had force of men at
work completing the title. 1t is I'M
derstood that the company will soon
have machinery on these mines and
drive them down several hundred feet.
The mines are in the copper belt that
runs along the east side of the Cedar
district, coming up from the Aubrey
district section. Some of the veins
are very large and show good copper
values on the surface.
A. NJ. and A. H. Smith, who are
getting things in shape for the start
ing up of work on the old Mexican
mines, were in Kingman this week on
business. They have completed a road
from the main wagon road to the mine
and have everything in shape for the
carrying out of plans that mean the
employment of many men and large
developments on the property. In
looking over the mine fine ore was
found in one of the old shafts and it is
probable that this shaft will be con-
tinued 10 a depth of a hundred or
more feet, while the main tunnel is be-
ing driven in under the works.
G. f. Richardson, one of the Oldest
residents of the Yuma desert section,
arrived in Kingman last evening from
the McCracken country. He reports
that the big smelter at Swansea is
running in full blast and that bullion
is being turned out at a rapid rate.
AT the old Copper Prince mine good
strike of native ore was made on the
300 level and that the mine was look
ing fine. Mr.. Richardson has num-
Der of promising mining properties in
that section and at the McCracken.
He brought with him samples from
recent discovery near Potts Tanks
that show good values in copper and it
is believed to carry good values in
gold as we'll. He says that the vein
