The Bunker Hill property is one o.
the best showings in that section anC
should soon be a shipper of some mag
nitude. The ore carries high values
in gold and copper.
W. J. Tarr came over from Mineral
Park a few days ago to have a piece
of quartz extracted from his eye. He
reports the Park section looking up
along mining lines and that while no
boom was as yet on there was a good
healthy growth.
The patrons of the MINER will note
by the advertisement of 1. NJ. George
that he is one of the most up-to-date
and wide awake business men now do
ing business in the county. He can
deliver the goods and the quality is
always the best.
1t is reported that Mrs. Lowery,
well known in Kingman, has purchas-
ed the Commercial hotel from w. J.
Prout, paying 10.O00S therefor. The
Commercial has been a paying prop
osition the past several years and it is
to be expected that it will continue
to return a good interest on the in
vestment.
r. ]. Holmes, owner of some of the
good mining property in the Silver
Creek section, of San Francisco dis
trict, passed through Kingman this
week on his way to Phenix, where he
will visit with his son and look after
property interests. He intends to
spend the warm months in the north
west.
William Warren, who was severely
injured by bucking horse. on the Big
Sandy, few weeks ago, has returned
to his home at the old Cornwall ranch.
much improved and it is thought that
he will entirely recover. The young
man was injured internally and lost
considerable blood through internal
hemorrhages. 1t was a week after the
accident before the hemorrhages
ceased, which weakened the sufferer
very much.
II. N. Tracy, of the Tracy Engineer
ing company, accompanied by a num-
her of gentlemen interested in the |
electric plant, arrived in Kingman |
Thursday last and are looking over
the big plant. 1t is understood that
the plant will have another unit added |
to supply the present and future de-
mands for power, a turbine engine of
at least 800 horse power to be placed
beside one of the other big engines.
The plant is now practically supplying
power to its capacity.
Last Thursday, at the Russell ranch.
On the Big Sandy, the infant child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell was severely
burned about the legs and body. The
,hild's dress caught from a burning
rash fire in ditch, the little one fall
ng and rolling into it. A little four
year old child pulled the baby out of
he flames or it would have been burn
ID to death. Mrs. Russell brought ;
he little one to town and under the
icctor's care it is getting along nicely.
The Planet company is drilling all
VI its ground with a view of reach
ng sulphide ore, as that is the TO. m
hat the Swansea smelter is now paw
ng the highest price for. The Planet
nine has thousands of tons of rich
,xide ore blocked and ready for ex-
raction, but it has been unable to find
he vein at depth, or at least to find it
n the deeper holes that have been
unk by the drills. 1t is possible that
instead of ranging back under the
mountain the vein takes a sudden din
downward and that the drills have
,een operated to far back. A general
Irilling of the ground may reveal Just
What the company is looking for.
