KINGMON, Ariz., Nov. S.-Emersor
Gee, the we'll known mining engineer
George A. Smith and d. A. Mcmillan
of Los Angeles have made a deal
whereby the property of A. L. Nc
Kesson, near Little Meadows, was TAX
en- over They will make arrange
ments at once for the development OF
the property. Mr.. Smith and d. A
Mcmillan are largely interested in the
oil business in California and Mexico
They are encouraged over their new
purchase and believe they have one OF
the most promising gold properties in
the territory. The mine will be opened
under competent management and J.
l.. Whitney, 1t is said, is about to begin
work on the Blue Mary mine, sixteen
miles east of Yucca. About year ago
rich ore was struck in drift in the
mine and the property gave such prom
Use of big things at depth that Mr. Wit
ney concluded to take it over and ex-
feet. - - 9 p'' ''''"' i'''i -
Superintendent P. n. Mclaughlin
last week took a big car of C. o. D
ore to the smelter at Needles. The
cars was made up of the rich ore from
the stope on the 200 level and is said
to have been one of the richest cars of
ore ever shipped from that property.
At the $50 level the drifts are being
run on splendid ore, the shoot from
the levels above evidently penetrating
the lower ore zone. The ore in this
part of the mine appears to be rich in
gold, something unusui-l for the mine,
taken from the standpoint of ship
ments from the old slopes. There the
ore ran high In silver, the gold values
seldom running above $5 to the ton,
while in this newly opened part of the
mine large values are to be had. Some
of the ore from the top of stope on
the 200 level was found to run as high
as $2010 in gold and correspondingly
high In silver One day the latter
part of October two miners took from
the stope seventeen sacks of this high
grade ore.
SURVEYS ST. LOUIS MINE
T. r. GARNER has had a survey of
the underground working of the st.
Louis mine, at Cerbat, made by p
McCardell, and finds that the deep
tunnel Is now within few feet of the
ore body known to exist in the lower
workings of the PROPERTY. A contract
has been let to II. e. Petit to drive
quite a lot of work in the way of de-
velopment. This work win be begun
at once.
P. MoCardell, the we'll known min
eral surveyor, has gone to the Gold
Crown camp, where he will make a
survey of a large group of claims for
purpose of patent. The Gold Crown
people (the Frisco Power and Mining
company is doing a large amount of
work on the properties and will soon
have in commission a big crushing
and cyanide plant. The tonnage of ore
now blocked out in the mine is said to
be sufficient to keep the mill employed
for years to come. The report is cur
rent in Kingman that the company
refused an offer of $1,000,000 for the
property from one of the largest op-
Grating companies in the United States.
Big teams are hauling ore from the
Champion mine to the railroad for
shipment to the Needles smelter.
A gasoline holster was taken out to
Stockton Hill last Tuesday for the
Needles Mining & Smelling company
to be used on one of the mines under
operation by that company.
The mill at the Dixie Queen mine
has been runnink steadily on go ore
the past two weeks. No cleanup has
been made of the plates but it is un-
derstood that the saving of values is
high.
Immense quantities of mining tim
bers are being received at Kingman
station and are being hauled to the
mines contiguous to this place. The
timbers now in use in the Gold Road
mines are round, 1t being the i'm
preston that round timbers have
greater tensile strength than the sawed
timbers.
