Mines of the County

III IuC
 All claims against the Enterprise
 mine have been paid off and the man. agement is getting things in shape to
 begin active development of the prop
 erty. Major Mensch is now in the east and it is understood that he is ar ranging for the installation of a large milling plant to handle the complex ores of the mine. A .concentrator will take out the zinc and put the other metals in desirable condition for the shelter.
 G. W. Gibson, of Denver, arrived in Kingman last Monday and has been looking at mining property of this sec tion. He is interested in the Walla- pal Precious Metals company, having p 'operty on Stockton Hill, which is soon to be operated through a long tunnel. The mines show splendid values in the surface outcrop and it is thought that in running the long tun- mel series of veins will be cut, among which will be the Golconda and Tubb and other veins of Union Basin.
 Charles Grimes, president and gen. eral manager of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company, arrived in Kingman Thursday last from Pasadena and de- parted yesterday morning to the mines. It is understood that the mine is show ing wonderful bodies of ore and that there Is large reserve in the stopes New work is opening up the ore bod ies at the lowest depth, where it is un derstood that a great showing of ore is being brought to light. The mill is working smoothly and the saving of values is very high.
 Last Saturday afternoon J. P. Cid con brought from Goldroad one of those delightfully."- big yellow bars of bullion that weighed in at Wells, Far go & Company's at a little over 2, ,OOOS. The last bar received from the Gold Road mill weighed 23,OOOS. so ''23'' must be lucky number at that plant These weekly bars of bullion show what the big mill is doing, as the monthly total would appear to run up above 90,OO0S. The tonnage handled by the mill runs about 572O tons monthly and the value saved above l5S per ton.
 J. M. Farley is getting things in ] shape to go to the Gold Hills property. i where he will sink shafts to a depth of several hundred feet. This week E. B. and c. B. Van Deman, accompanied by A. w. Bratland, paid a visit to the property for the purpose of mapping out the new work that is to be done It is the belief of these gentlemen that the mines are among the best proper ! ties in that section (Weaver district), | and that with small amount of de- velopment the properties will be put ! on pay basis. The ore is of good | grade and readily handled by milling on the ground.
 A. w. Bratland, general manager of ! the Hercules Mining company, was Kingman visitor this week. He re- ports that the wires from the power 5ltion have almost reached his camp and that within a few days the ma chinery will be connected up. The company is to sink the shaft on the property to a depth of several hundred feet and thoroI ghly exploit the mines. So far as developed these properties hlve a fine showing of milling ore and 1t Is believed that with proper de- yelopment they will become large pro- ducers of gold. The mines are situat- ed Tn the upper part of the Silver Creek, San Francisco district.
 The great showing of ore in the Keystone mine, at Mineral Park. is causing the other old properties of that camp to be looked up and it is probable that before winter comes on many mines will be in operation in the basin. The Lone Star. Rural. Buckeye, Jthica, Queen Bee, Setting Sun. and many other veins in that sec tion were worked and produced many thousands of dollars in the old days and it is more than probable that they will again become rich producers. Some of the richest ore ever taken from mines in the Mineral Park basin was taken from the Metallic Accident. Retort and Quick Relief properties. The Retort ore always ran about l.OOO ounces to the ton, while from the Quick Relief many tons were shipped that ran close to 1000 ounces silver. Some of the Metallic Accident ore.
