Mohave County miner., 1910-06-11

I late George M. Bowers were sold at public sale by the administrator this week, the amounts realized being in excess of the appraised value.
 Joe Kelsey, a we'll known mine owner of the Cedar country, was taken to San Diego last week, where he had an operation performed on one of his eyes. Some time ago he was struck in the eye by piece of rock and the sight destroyed.
 Sinking is now under way on the Summit mine, of the Needles Mining x Smelling company, on the back bone of the Cerbat range, north of Stockton Hill. The vein is one of the largest in that section and the crosscuts show sixteen feet of solid ore. This ore carries lead, gold and silver, together with about forty per cent iron, mak- ing it most desirable smelling ore.
 William Maupin, who was brought in from the Champion mine at Cerbat, last week. died at the hospital last night. The cause of death is given as typhoid fever. Maupin had lived in this county the past year, being en- ployed at several of the mining prop critics in this vicinity as superintend- ent and foreman. He leaves wife in f Los Angeles.
 A report has been circulated in Kingman that great strike of ore was made few days ago on the prop erty near Oatman. now being operated by D. P. Wright. The ore coming from the shaft is said to have a value of los per pound. Inquiry this morn | ing at Oatman confirms the strike, but we were unable to learn the extent of the ore body. Mir. Wright has just in- stalled hoisting plant on the proper ty and is sinking a working shaft.
 P. H. Mclaughlin, general manager of the c. O. D. mine. was in Kingman a few days ago. He reports that a station is being cut on the POO level in the new shaft and that a crosscut will soon be run to the vein. It is ex- pected that a much better showing of ore will be found on this level, as on the level above the ore in the floor was larger and better than that show ing in the roof. From appearances it IS the opinion of the management that the first level was just cutting the apex of the ore shoot.
 l. M. George, J. S. Withers and E. F. Thompson went over to Mineral Park the first of the week in Mir. Thompson's E. NJ. E. automobile. They visited the Keystone and are talking big of what they saw at that great property. On the l50 level of the property there is four feet of ore that will run into the thousands of ounces per ton. This ore is a mass of silver, the metal being in the form of wire and heavy native flakes and ruby. The drift has been in this class of ore quite a distance. The mine is one of the best equipped properties in the county, everything being new and ad- equate to all demands that may be made upon it.
 w. P. Carr, of Cedar, was in King man this week. He had just made a | trip to Swansea, where he looked over | the mining situation. He reports that the Clara Con. M. x s. company has | about 600 men on the pay roll and is | sinking three shifts ou the old Copper Prince mine, at one time owned by | James Rosborough and ]. w. Johnson. | The shelter is doing good work and | the company claim to have an abund- | ance of ore in sight and ready for stoping in its properties to keep it in steady operation for two years Three big shafts are being sunk on the mine. | On Bill Williams Fork everybody has the oil fever and the whole country is being covered with locations. The man that has a nose for oil is the one having the call in that section. The prospector rubs two pieces of rock to- gether and the resulting smell from the friction will tell him if the rock is oil bearing or otherwise. Among the miners the saying "He has nose for ore" is being exemplified.
