One by one the mining companies
which suspended operations In this
county in the panicky days of few
years ago, are resuming, and the
latest TO get into an active condi.
ton is the Climax Mining company,
on Cherry Creek. Recent develop.

has been deemed advisable to revive
the company and TO expend big

A. exempli6ed so fsvorably at other
mines near by.
Before closing down, the Climax
company had accomplished about 800
feet Of workings, but no extensive
exploitation was given, although the
indications prevailing supported a
continuance Of the plans outlined be.

BIG SHIPMENTS FROM

kINGMAN, Ariz, hpri w"
shipments were brought In yesterday
from the Gold Road and Tom Reed
mines, which establish new records
for these properties. The Gold Road
output, consisting Of nearly 900
pounds Of precipitates, Is valued at
approximately s25,oo0, and represents
an eleven days run Of the 200 ton
mill. The Tom Reed sent in 159
pounds of bullion, worth about e37,-
900, and is the result Of twelve
days run in a ten stamp mill.
In both mines, the average OF the
ore now being stopped IL better than
ever, and the new ore bodies being
developed are showing up larger and
| richer. Manager Phillips estimated
the March production Of the Gold
Road at about t55.000, which Will
probably be exceeded easily In April,
Judging from yesterdays shipment.
