Mines of the County

A. IL. NlCh6SSOLls NhO ACSChOAg hoNS a discovery of gold in the section near Little Meadows, was in Kingman this week attending court. He reports that there are many prospectors in that region and that some good finds are being made. On his discovery he has been at work and is opening up a splendid property.
 Three shifts are to be put on the c. O. D. shaft tomorrow. The new shaft has reached a depth of about 100 feet and will be driven to the 300 as fast as possible. At that depth the shaft will be connected up with the old works and the property put in shape to pro duce. After this work is done the shaft will be continued to the 800 level.
 The cutting of big ore body in the dike that separates the Big Bethel and Silver mines, in Todd Basin, il- lustrates what may be expected when the great dikes that traverse Wallapai district are developed. Few of these dikes that do not show naturalization on the surface, but many of them are cut and scanned with small streaks of rich ore. It is quite probable that all carry mineral in pay quantities and that the opening of the dike on the Big Bethel at a depth of 200 feet will give mining men some idea of the great possibilities of these immense intrusions.
 w. P. Carr reports that he has dis covered a big vein of ore carrying gold, silver, copper and lead in the Copper Canyon section, of Cedar Val ley mining district. The discovery is but short distance from the mines bearing the high grade molybdenite. Seven feet of ore runs above three per cent copper and carries gold and silver enough to make it a most desirable shipping product. The main streak in the vein, which is about eighteen inches in width, gave results of about fourteen per cent copper. This vein can be traced on the surface a long distance. Mir. Carr and associates propose to do considerable work on the property within the next few months.
 Tomorrow the sixth dividend of tEe Union Basin mining company will be sent out to stockholders of record. This company has been paying dividends for a year, approximately at the rate of eighteen per cent, and this while in a development stage. When the mine is opened by the big drift that is being driven in from the Prosperity dividends will be doubled or trebled. The mine improves with every days work, and while it is to- day one of the greatest properties in the district, with the new work that Is mapped out it will surpass anything ever opened in the county.
 Charles Hansen and a relative have made one of the most important dis coveries ever found in the Weaver district. The discovery was made in one of the old mines of that section, Hansen and partner sinking a super ficial shaft only few feet before they came upon a streak of ore that gave results of 34OS gold and more than 12O0 ounces silver to the ton. The ore streak is said to be more than eight inches wide, while the entire shaft carries values Of milling grade. The men have been at work on the new find but a short time, but have enough ore already on the dump to repay them for a years work.
 Col. F. W. Dunn, of Salt Lake City, spent several days this week in King man, departing to his home in Needles Tuesday evening. He is at present engaged in working a property south of Needles and reports having an ex- ceptionally good showing. In conver- sation with the MINER editor he stated that the country below the Needles had some of the most promising miner- al veins in the state of California, and that practically all the minerals could be found there. The mines are well situated for access and can be reached from the Colorado river by good wagon roads. Many corporations are invest ing in the properties along the river and it will be but a short time until cheaper power will be put in and the lower grade properties developed. Mr. Dunn organized and promoted the
