Mines of the County

 Smith to the molybdenite-copper mines of Copper Canyon, near Cedar, this week.
 James Dundon, owner of several large groups of mines in the Cerbat section, was in Kingman a few days this week. He is doing considerable work on his mining claims and recent ly turned over one of the groups to a mining syndicate on a working bond.
 The tram that is being built from the Golconda mill to the level road near the mouth of Union Basin, is nearing completion. It will reduce the cost of transportation from the mine and mill to the railroad to a minimum.
 Yesterday a train load of zinc ore came in over the Western Railway from the Golconda mine. Day by day the output of thIs property is increas- ing until daily trips will have to be made over the Western Railway to handle the product.
 Ed Williams is at his wolfram mines, in the Aquarius range, and will soon have a shipment of the metal on the way to market. There is a large and growing demand for tungsten and the mines of the county should soon be getting the benefit of the high prices now obtaining in the market.
 Thursday last a gasoline holster was taken out to the property of the Ven ture Mining & Exploration company, at Lorena Flat, where it will be at once placed in position on the prop erty. The new shaft has been sunk to depth of about fifty feet on the prop erty and as soon as the holster is placed in commission the work will be rushed by three shifts of miners. The mines recently taken over by this com pany have shown rich ore in the super ficial workings and the veins are very large. J. R. Hamilton, of the Cactus Copper company, is in charge of the company's operations.
 The ore body in the c. O. D. mine continues to improve The solid ore is fourteen inches in width, while the shaft is filled with broken up mass of vein matter that carries a very good value. The management of the prop erty is jubilant over the prospect for the opening of one of the biggest ore bodies ever brought to light in the county. It was not expected that ore would be found in this shaft above the 100 level, but in a mine like the c. O. D. it is the unexpected that is sure to happen. The mine below the 100 is known to have large bodies of excel lent ore and shipments are liable to be made within the next few months. The mill is being put in shape to han dle the low grade ores now on the dumps and stopes in the mine.
 The first carload of machinery for the Bi Metal mill was received at the property last Thursday. From now on the receipts of machinery will be of daily occurrence until the entire forty stamp mill is assembled. The mill is to be complete in every particular, from the big stamps to the grinding mills that will regrind the product af- ter it passes over the plates, until the valueless pulp is deposited in the tail ings pits. It is more than probable that the entire plant, as we'll as the mine will be driven by electricity.
 H. L. McCarn, general manager of the Rainbow Mountain Mining com pany, came over from Chloride last Saturday and remained in town sev- eral days. MT. McCarn has opened the Rainbow mine more energetically than any other mining man in the county and now has blocked out great bodies of shippable ore. The mine is opened to a depth approximating 300 feet and practically all of this is vir- gin ground, only a small area having been stopped in the early days.
 The Tub mine, at Union Basin, operated by John Boyle, jr., is said to have opened an immense body of rich ore. The Tub mine is one of the larg- est of the mineral bearing veins in that region and has been a producer of good ore in the past. Owing to the caving of the main shaft on the prop erty several years ago the owners never tried to operate the mine and it was eventually sold to John Boyle
