Mines of the County

uperintendent P. H. Mclaughlin
 and wife were in from the c. O. D
 mine yesterday. At the mine work i.
 going on steadily and it will be but 2
 short time until the 300 level is
 reached. Below this level the mine
 will be opened and thousands of tons
 of rich ore will be obtained.
 A carload of Redemption ore was
 shipped to the Needles shelter last
 week. The ore was of high grade and
 brought a good figure to the company.
 The Redemption is capable of shipping
 regularly and it is the intention of the
 management to make regular ship
 ments both of concentrates and raw
 ore.
 E. H. Barton has gone to Los An
 geles to look after business matters.
 After his return to Kingman he ex-
 poets to begin receiving the machin-
 cry for the new mill, part of which
 has already been shipped from Chi cago. The plant is to be composed of crushers and tube mills. For the use of the tube mills pebbles can be had along the mesas below the mine. greatly reducing the cost of this class of milling.
 Robert s. Roe has just received re- turns from nine tons of ore shipped from his mines in the Weaver district to the Needles Shelter. The ore ran high in silver and carried twenty-nine per cent copper. The ore was very fine smelling material and in quantity would bring the highest price paid for copper at the smelters. It is the in- tention of the owners of the property to ship another car of the ore as soon as the weather moderates.
 Peter Caffery was in town from his Hassayampa mines, in the Layne Springs basin, this week, and reports that the ore body is showing up nicely the entire shaft being in lead ore. Samples from the mine ran as high as fifty ounces silver and a low percent age of lead. The ground still shows teaching, but it is expected to get be- low the leached zone within the next fifty feet. The vein is a large one and | the owners believe they have one of the big properties of that section.
 Orders have been sent to the local railroad force to begin the construc- tion of spur nine hundred feet in | len{t from the main line of the West ern Railway of Arizona, at Mineral, toward the town of Mineral Park. It is understood that this spur may be continued to the mouth of Mineral | Park canyon. where a depot and ore shoot will be put up. Should this be done it will be of great convenience to the people of the little city in the hills
 George w. Gibson. general manager of the Wallapai Precious Metals con- pany, was at Stockton Hill Thursday last and got work under way widening and timbering the shaft on the Hill side property. It is the intention of the company to sink the shaft on this property several hundred feet and make it the main working shaft for the development of the mines. The Hillside has been a producer of some of the richest gold ore ever taken from a mine in the Stockton Hill sec tion.
 Last Thursday Deputy Sheriff J. P. Gideon brought in from Goldroad a bar of bullion weighing 25,OOOS. The bar was the result of a weeks cleanup of the big mill. At the mine the showing of ore reserves is growing iaily and keeping far ID the lead of the mill. Even with the new ma ,hines, which will add greatly to the capacity of the plant, the develop nents are nearly four years in advance of any call the mill may make on the reserves. The grade of the ore is keeping well above fifteen dollars per .On and ln some of the stopes the grade $ increasing with every round of holes.
 At the mines on Lorena Flat, now ( being worked by the Venture mining l company, the crosscut from the 100 evel reached the vein and found good a ore. Drifts are now being carried [ both ways on the vein. The shaft is ' being sunk in very hard rock and slow l progress is being made. It is expect d to sink the shaft to a depth of 800 eet and use it for a main working haft. The ore body in the. mine is ..r..l-.. L...-ll-- q
