Mohave County miner., 1910-04-02

the marSnall-GraVeS property ln Alum Wash, is in Kingman looking after business affairs. He believes the mines will prove up bonanzas, and intends to do large amount of work on them during the year. The ores show we'll in copper, gold and silver and the bodies appear to be large.
 John F. Withers went out to Todd Basin Thursday last in his automobile and visited the Mint mine, in which he is interested with George Klemp. Mir. Klemp has just entered a body of extremely rich silver ore and believes that within a few feet he will open a bonanza. The mine is on the divide between Todd Basin and Layne Springs, and was one of the early producers of that region.
 E. B. Van Deman and c. NJ. Stowe have gone to the mines of the Gold Hill Mining company, in the Weaver district, where they are having con siderable work done on the properties recently acquired from Barney Mccall. A shaft is being sunk and it is intend ed that development work will be car ried on systematically to great depth. A mill will be put in as soon as the development and ascertainment of the character of the ore at depth will war rant.
 s. R. Porter, who is operating the Keystone mine. at Mineral Park, pas sed through Kingman few days ago from Los Angeles on his way to the mines. He is installing heavy machin- cry on the Keystone and intends to sink the main shaft to a depth of several hundred feet below the present level. A big steam boiler and holster is being put in place and steam com. pressor will be added and the work done by machines. It is expected that the big drills will make rapid progress in sinking the shaft through the hard SIOuuu Ill JlC hOgSOOlCs
 Several mining men have been look ing over the Cyclopic and other mines in the Gold Basin district the past week. The Cyclopic is the one mine in that section on which the eyes of the investor is resting hungryly, but it will take a goodly sum of money to convince Messrs. Bagg and Jacobson that they ought to part with it. The mine has been paying its way the past year, while large amount of develop ment work has been carried on. The mine is we'll situated for economic min ing, being but nine or ten miles east of White Hills, and will be close to the new railroad that is designed to pass through that part of the county with in the next year.
 Last Saturday morning, at the Ban neI mine, Stockton Hill, Joe Martinez was injured in peculiar manner. He was working in the winze below the 100 station, where there is a trap door that closes when the bucket is being pulled to the surface. In dumping the bucket at the surface a rock fell back into the shaft and passed directly through a small hole in the trap door, striking Martinez on the head, inflict- ing a bad scalp wound and knocking him down. There was but one small hole in the trap door, scarcely larger than the rock that struck Martinez, but it fell through the shaft in such way that it passed through as though fired from a gun. Martinez was brought to Kingman and had his wound dressed by the doctor. While the injury is a painful one he will be laid up but few days.
 E. s. sborne, who is so well known in this county, has interested a con- pany of Denver, Colorado, men in his copper properties, near Bill Williams Fork. Some time ago he made sale of the mines to the Empire Copper company, but that corporation was unable to finance the deal and the mines eventually went back to Osborne and Wardwell. Now these gentlemen are to work the properties on a large scale, having made the necessary financial arrangement. They intend to put in auto trucks to haul the ores from the various properties to the railroad, each truck to have capacity of seven or eight tons. By this method it is believed that the handling of the ores will be much cheapened The
