Mohave County miner., 1910-12-03

the Chemehuevis mountains, and the men in charge will soon be making a test run on ores from the mines.
 W. L. Mckay, of Goldfeld, an old friend of T. J. Grant, was a Kingman visitor this week. MT. Mckay is look ing around to see some of the good things that he has been told are to be had in this county.
 Ex-U. S. Marshall Ben Daniels, now residing in Tucson, was a Kingman visitor the early part of the week and visited the mines contiguous to town. He was much impressed with mining conditions in the county and believes kingman and the mining section have great futures. He says that every where this county is spoken of by min ing men as one of the richest sections of the territory and believes now is the time for investment in the mines.
 A prospector by the name of Smith, who was recently grubstsked by w. F. Jagger, is reported to have discovered vein of gold bearing ore in the foot hills below Canyon Station. Samples from the new find have given values as high as 7Os gold, while other parts of the veln show well in the yellow metal. A group of seventeen claims have been staked of and work is now being done to perfect the title. For many years rich gold float has been f und in that section and many pros pectors have searched for the lead, but until the present without success.
 The Frisco Power and Mining con- pany this week received a consign- ment of engine oil from the east over the Tehauntepec route. This cargo was on the road only few weeks from the Atlantic coast, while a shipment of oil, on hurry order, has not yet arrived, both shipments leaving New York the same day. The freight over the ocean route made the cost of the oil laid down about seventeen cents, while that by railroad will have cost 26 cents when delivered at Union sta tion. From this it looks as though the Tehauntepec route will be the favored one for shippers to the interior of Ari- zona.
 John P. Jacobson is here from the placer fields of the Chemehuevis val ley, where he has been looking after the annual work on the claims. He reports having located large acreage of gold bearing gravel, in which Messrs. Wilkerson and Hedburg are interested. These latter gentlemen are still at the mines engaged in sink ing shafts and driving drifts into the deep banks of gravel. Some of the gravel shows extremely high values and is easily workable. The proper ties have been examined by Portland mining men and the result of the ex- animation is being awaited with some interest.
 This week Eli Hilty exhibited a large specimen of rock from the re- cent discovery of ore in the Dr. George property, three miles west of Goldroad, which sparkled all over with gold. He reports that the vein has been ex- posed for depth of 26 feet and width of nine feet. The ore gives a very high average in gold. MT. George is working early and late to get the shaft down to a depth of 100 feet, where crosscut of the vein will be made. The property lies north of the Hercules and almost adjoining that rich group. It is said by those that have seen the new discovery that it is one of the best ever made in that sec tion and that everywhere the vein is opened it shows good gold values.
 Fred H. Stull, who is in charge of the Scott interests at Chloride, has been in Kingman several days this week. He is awaiting the results of bids on the 200 feet of shaft work on the Brighter Days claim of the Lucky Boy group, and as soon as the contract is let work will be rushed. The shaft has been eqipped with holster and everything made ready for the contrac- tors to begin the work. The Lucky Boy group has been a good producer of ore in the past and the old mine workings show large bodies of milling ore. Through the Brighter Days shaft it is expected to reach the ores in the Lucky Boy, and at the same time a body of water sufficient for milling
