ing enough water for the big mill of
the Arizona Gold Mines company.
The company will sink large number
of wells and operate them with
electric pumps.
L. W. Johnson and Lane C. Gillian
went up to Cottonwood district early
this week and Mr.. Gillian made an
examination of mining property. Mr..
johnson states that it is quite probable
that work will soon be started up on
the Copper Giant claim, all litigation
effecting the title to property having
been settled.
A corp of engineers is at work max
ing typographical map of the Stock
ton Hill section for the Needles Min
ing & Smelling company. The system
of veins in that section are being trac-
ed out, elevations taken, and when
complete will be of great benefit to
the company in the operation of the
properties.
1t is expected that the Gold Road
company will hereafter convert all
auro-cyanides into bullion at the mill,
and big bars will be sent to the mint
through Kingman. Next week the
first bar is to be shipped and it is to
be expected that a big one will Re
cast. The Tom Reed will also send in

Miners coming in from Copperville
report that the mines of the Arizona
Southwestern Copper company are
showing up some good bodies of ore.
In the latest vein to be opened by the
company large body of lead ore has
been cut and a drift is now being
driven from the deep shaft on the
Siamese claim to cut this vein at a
depth of about 500 feet.
S. A. Baugh, jr., James Mouatt and
J. r. Hawks, who have been visiting
and looking over mining property in
the Gold Basin mining district. The
young men came in from the mines
Thursday and departed to their homes
in Detroit 1t is probable that during
the summer months and the fall a
large amount of work will be done on
the properties.
The shaft on the Bellefower has
reached a depth of nearly ninety feet.
A level is to be run off when the shaft
reaches 100 feet, and the mine is to be
thoroughly explored to that depth.
So far five feet of ore shows in the
shaft, much of it being of a high mill
ing grade. 1t is probable tibet test
mill run will be made on the general
run of ore from the shaft to ascertain
its milling value and the method to be
employed in handling the product.
Jay J. Cleeland. owner of the Min
nesota Common mines, at Chloride, has
been looking over the property and it
is understood that work will be started
up on them by lessees within the next
month. The mines are all right, but
it is necessary that a greater depth
must be obtained before the property
can be made to produce, as nearly all
the ore has been cut out above the
present level. The mines have been
large pro lucers of good ore and should
again be brought into the productive
list.
Fitz-Mac and J. J. Brown. who made
an examination of the Sperl copper
properties, have gone to Parker by
way of Needles, where Fitz-Mac will
look over the Riverside section. The
gentlemen were well pleased with the
property of Frank Sperl and asso-
GATES and it is possible thai these peo-
pie will take them over. Fitz-Mac is
an authority on copper deposition and
geology and has been employed the
past two years in Arizona examining
the different copper belts of the terri !
tory.
This week John Boyle and associ1t-
Is have organized the Arizona Zinc !
company, with a capitalization of three
millions of dollars. This company will |
take over the holdings of Mr.. Boyle in |
Union and Todd Basins and possibly |
merge all the properties now produc- |
ing zinc ore. This will give the new |
company the best area of ground in
that section and at the same time give
them two big shippers of zinc. The
company now owns the properties and
there will be no cessation in the work
of development. The Tub, which
goes into the merger, is now being
