KEYSTONE MAKES
 RICH ORE SHIPMENT
(Mohave County Miner.)

(Mohave County Miner.)
 The Keystone mine made its first
 car shipment of ore to the smelter
 last Saturday. The ore came from
 the new workings, and is said to be
 extremely rich in gold and silver
 values. Following this initial ship
 ment will follow many more from the mine and dumps and by the time
 the shaft reaches a new level the stopes will have been opened in the levels above and the property made a regular shipper. At present all the ore that goes into the shipments is taken from the drifts, the dump ores being shipped by themselves on account of the freight rating. A short spur of track is being put in to accommodate a chute and ware house for the accommodation of the company, near Mineral. Later it is expected that a spur will be con- tinued to the mouth of Mineral Park wash and possibly to the mine.
 William and Frank O'Dea have been working on the Pilgrim group of mines, west of Chloride, and re- port mas it that a big body of rich gold ore has been cut at the 200 foot level. The shaft was sunk on the ore following the hanging wall and no attention paid to the vein lying below the fault. The owners have run a erosscut through the faulted ground and on the footwall opened the best body of ore ever seen in the property. Specimens taken from the opening snow it to be freely sprinkled with free gold. This strike gives the mines a value far above that placed on them by the owners the past several years, at a big profit. The properties are well situated for economic work and water can be had from nearby springs for milling purposes. It is how probable that the footwall streak will now be worked and that raises will connect it with the surface.
 An immense motor was hauled out to the Tom Reed mines yesterday. The machine weighed nearly sixteen tons, being one of the largest the company will have in use. This mo- tor will go into the new mill and will handle the tube mill and some other machinery.
