Mohave County miner., 1910-03-12

vicinity of the Mcguire mines, south O
 Kingman. The ore shows well in free
 gold and the vein is said to be of good
 size.
 Charles Metcalfe has been appointed
 deputy assessor of this county and
 will make the listment of property in Kingman. Mir. Metcalfe has a good general knowledge of values in the town and the results will probably be good.
 William Roe and L. M. Bechtel returned few days ago from the Big Sandy, where they have been prospect ing for some rare minerals. Mir. Roe is quite familiar with the Aquarius range and believes there are many of the rare minerals to be found in that section.
 It is reported that hundreds of lambs have been slaughtered by sheepmen in this county to save the lives of the mothers that have become weakly by reason of lack of green feed. The sheepowners expect to lose the in- crease this year on account of the hard winter and backward spring.
 The people of Kingman will regret to learn that Mir. and Mrs. F. c. Shaw, who have been in charge of the local Harvey house the past two years, have been ordered to Gallup, New Mexico, where they will have charge of a much larger house. Mir. and Mrs. Shaw have a host of friends in the town that will regret their departure.
 Last Saturday Philip Smith brought in from his mines, one mile north of McConnico, some of the finest looking gold rock ever taken out in that locali- ty. Free gold shows all through the rock and the indication is that it will run away up in the hundreds of dollars to the ton. A shaft is being sunk on the new ore body and will be prose- cuted to a depth of one hundred feet at the present time.
 The Grand Gulch mining company last year shipped 505 tons of copper ore averaging B per cent. Shipments have been made by way of MOapa to the Salt Lake smelters. The mine has thousands of tons of lower grade ore on the dumps, which can be han dled when cheap transportation is pro vided. The mine is one of the most peculiar known to geologists and of- fers a subject for study to the student.
 A twenty minute sketch entitled ''The Juniper Tree" written by Mrs. Chas. Metcalfe of Kingman, was pro- duced at Keith & Proctors' Fifth Avenue theater, in New York last week, and the audience pronounced the initial performance a success by six curtain calls. FlaJtering offers have been made for the production of the play in vaudeville houses and it will now be taken on the road.
 A daily stage is now running be- tween Kingman and Golconda mine, by way of Cerbat. This will be found of great convenience to the travelling public. A daily stage now runs to Stockton Hill, and it is probable that automobile service will soon be put on the two routes. The camps up the range are gradually becoming the most important in the county and every convenience will be necessary to facilitate travel between the railroad and the camps.
 The amount of business now being done along the line of the Western Railway of Arizona would warrant the company in putting on a daily train service between Kingman and Chloride. The fact that a train runs but twice a week curtails much of the business that would be offered were it to operate daily trains. Few people care to go to Chloride or intermediate points by train because of the fact that they would have to be gone three days or more. With a daily service the passenger trafic would increase until it would become paying business. We hope the company will give the mat ter it's consideration when put up to it by the Chamber of Mines and at least give the service a trial.
