C. O. D. WORKS ON OLD DUMP

KINGMAN, May 31.-The Gold Road
company has shipped three large boxes
of auro-eyanides reputed to have
value of about 100000 1t is under
stood that the company will return
TO the smelling of the bullion at the
mill. although it is claimed that bet
ter results are obtainable from ship
ments OF the prec1pltates. The com
pany is handling Il big tonnage of
ore, but the reserves warrant q much
larger milling plant. Everywhere
that the vein is being broken into big
ore bodies are cut 1t is the opinion
of those in close touch with the man
agement that a much larger mill will
be in operation before the year is out,
and that thereafter more than 500 tons
daily will be crushed. Water for the
new mill can readily be had and the
conditions all along the line warrant
the increase.
The C. o. D. mine will soon ship a
carload of rich ore to the smelter.
The mill is in shape and will soon be
turning out a large tonnage of desir-
able concentrates from the ores Of the
old dumps. The new developments
continue to show big ore, specimens
showing masses Of native silver The
company is in a strong financial con-
dition, which enables it to carry out
the big undertakings as planned.
is removing it's engine and compress
sor from the Samoan mine, near the
top of the mountain, above Chloride,
and putting 1t in place at the site of
the proposed tunnel. The grading for
the tunnel adit is completed and the
machinery will be set right away. 1t
is expected that the big drills will
bore into the mountain at rapid rate
and that the veins will be tapped at a
depth of nearly 1000 feet within year.
In driving this tunnel many veins will
be cut and other properties besides
the Samoan will be enabled to work
cheaply through this bore. L. Hoff-
man is the manager of the company
and is getting things in shape as fast
as possible.
Frank L. Mahoney has gone to the
northern part of Gila county, where
he will do the title work on a group
of iron mines. 1t is understood that
as soon as title to the mines is per-
fected they will be taken over by a
large steel making concern. The
mines show great bodies of high
grade iron.
The big shaft on the Tennessee
mine has reached a depth of ninety
feet and is now in the vein. This
shaft will be continued to a depth of
about 1000 feet and the great Ten
nessee vein opened and drained of
water permitting the mining Of the
ore bodies at a low cost. 1t is ex-
pected that ore will be opened in the
mine before the shaft reaches the 200
level and that this ground can be
blocked out as the shaft progresses
downward.
Frank r. Sperl has sold his interest
in the tungsten properties to ]. A.
Vondracek of Phoenix. 1t is under
stood that Mr. Vondracek will put
several men to work on the mines,
which are located about twelve miles
easterly from Yucca.
Several miners have gone to the
Gold Hills mines in Weaver district,
where they have a contract to sink
two shafts, 100 feet each. The Gold
Hills mines were formerly the prop
erty of Barney Mccall and are be-
lieved to be among the best mines of
the Weaver section.
