Mines of the County

Alpha company, arrived in Kingman
last evening, and in company of DR.. L.
D. Godshall, went out to the Alpha
mine this morning. Mr.. Mcclure has
been developing the Alpha mine the
past six months and is getting the
property in good shape.
John Boyle, Jr., and wife and Miss
Lena Tast have gone to the Golconda
mine, where they will hereafter re-
side. The growing interests of the
Union Basin company compels Mr..
Boyle's presence at the property at all
times and it was thought best to re-
move the family and office force to the
mines. where commodious quarters
have been prepared.
DR.. L. D. Godshall, A. P. Anderson
and Supt. Muir have been out through
the hills looking over the properties of
the Needles Mining and Smelling COM
pany, this week. Work is progressing
all along the line on the company's
properties in this county and it will
not be long before shipments of ores
will be made regularly to the big
smelling plant of the company at
Needles.
In The north drift from the 300 level
of the Siamese mine, of the Arizona
Southwestern Copper company, at
Copperville, a fine body of ore has
been encountered. While the ore at
present is of concentrating class it is
expected that within short time the
main ore body will be encountered and
shipping grade opened. The mine is
showing well and work is being rush
ed
This week another car of machinery
was received at Kingman consigned to
the Frisco Power and Mining company.
The consignment consists of a tube
mill and other machinery, and is to be
the second unit of the big mill that is
TO form the reduction plant of this
company in the Union Pass section.
The whole plant will be able to han
die about 100 tons of ore daily. Work
on the plant is progressing rapidly and
the mill will be in commission some
time this month.
Work on the second unit of the big
power plant is being rushed to COM
pletion, twenty men now being en-
ployed in getting the foundations
ready for the 800 horse power tur-
bine engine. The tanks and other
necessities have been completed and |
the annex is we'll under way. The |
new unit should be in commission by
the first of November, which will give
many new projects in the outlying dis
tricts the necessary power to draw on.
The prOspectors that went to Bill |
Williams Fork to look over a new find
of tungsten have arrived in Swansea
and brought with them large samples
from the outcrop of the veins. They
believe they have one of the largest
propositions in the country. The mines
are close to water and fuel and the
mining of the mineral will be accom-
plished with less expense than any,
where in the country. Some of the
hills ranging along Bill Williams Fork
show large areas veined with the
tungsten.
c. d. Atlee, general manager of the
IXL mines, was in Kingman this week
and reports that work on the shaft on
that property had reached a depth of
over 100 feet and that good progress
was being made. Sinking to deeper
level will be maintained until deptb
of at least loo feet below the
old workings was obtained.
In breaking into the vein good ore was
shown to be in evidence and it is ex-
pected that a great body of ore will be
found on the deep level. The mine
has been producer of exceptionally
rich ore in the past. ;
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Williams came I'D
from the tungsten mines in the Aouar-
Jus range this week and is getting
things in shape to remove his family
to the mines. Mr.. Williams has been
at work on the mines doing develop q
ment work the past year and now has =
them in shape to make large produc-
tiOn. The ores run about twenty per .
cent as taken from the mines and r
these ores will be dressed up for ship r
ment to the smelters in the east. 1t is
