Mines of the County

Dlg mining iueu Ol OOlOi dNOS hoo bOCh looking over the promising mines of Silver Creek the past week and is much pleased with the showing made in the Ruth and other properties.
 Fred w. Dunn, who placed the Ouartette mine. at Searchlight, Neva- da, among the big gold properties of that state, is in kingman. He is at present developing a group of mines below the Needles.
 Work on the tunnel of the Prosper ity mine is progressing rapidly and it will be but short time when it will enter the Golconda ground. The Pros perity should open some rich shoots of ore in the ground lying close to the Golconda line, as the surface indicates a high degree of naturalization.
 The mill for the Gold Crown prop erty will soon be received at Union station, on the Western Railway, from which point it will be hauled to Union Pass and installed on the mines. The mines are showing up good ore bodies, the deep development opening bodies of exceptionally rich gold ore.
 A fine vein of ore was opened up in the old Blue Mary claim, near the. old Viccars ranch, east of Yucca, recently, while doing the annual assessment work. The vein is one of the largest in that section and shows much rich silver ore. The property is owned by Edna Steen and J. J. Jerome.
 Steve A. Tyler, owner of valuable mining property in the Mineral Park section, is in Kingman. He believes that the present work on the c. O. D. mine, with which he is familiar, will open up great body of ore in virgin group, the shaft being sunk on what is known as the footwall vein and which was never entered by the old work
 Machinery for the Dixie Queen mine h has been carried on on the property during the past eighteen months and a big showing of ore is reported by the superintendent, NJ. A. Moore The new milling plant will be able to handle the product of the mine and it is expected to make good saving of the values.
 It is reported in Kingman that a great strike of ore has been made by the Needles Mining and Smeleing con- pany on the Silver property, in Todd Basin. The crosscut from the 200 level has entered the Silver vein through the dike and splendid ore opened. The veins lie only a short distance apart and can readily be worked through one shaft.
 N. M. Richardson. one of the owners of the London and other mines in the Union Pass section, returned the first of the week from Los Angeles, where he presented his mining propositions to a group of mining investors. He was accompanied on his return by a mining man and the property has been examined and is now under considera- tion of the investors. The London is one of the good things of the Union Pass section that ought to appeal to almost any mining investor.
 A deep tunnel to cut the Golconda, Tub, Blackfoot and many other veir in the Union and Todd Basins would open up one of the best mineralized territories in the county. The present tunnel on the Green Linnet mine ought to be enlarged and driven ahead to cut all the veins between the adit and the summit of the mountain. It would reach the summit at a depth of nearly two thousand feet. The entire territory to be cut by a tunnel is gridironed with veins of rich mineral. The water that would be obtained from the ground cut by the tunnel could be used in the operation of separating plant in the Basin.
 A. H. Smith, who with his brother A. M, is taking over the old Mexican mine, in Todd Basin, arrived from his home in Clermont, California, a few days ago and has gone to the mine, where he will begin operations. He will drive Q lonU drift intO the rnOun tain, where he expects to open up the mine and find large bodies of ore. The Mexican is one of the old prop critics of Todd Basin camp and in years
