Mineral Park Activities

The old camp at Mineral Park, first
Mojave county seat and for long time
its foremost mineral producer, is again
coming to the front after many years
of neglect, throughout which turquoise
has been its only product. Three of the
best mines have recently changed
hands and the work planned in these
and already begun will probably result
in a general revival of operations
throughout the camY.
One of these, the keystone, from
which nearly $500, 900 was shipped with
a maximum depth OF only $50 feet. had
been practically idle for 35 years up to
several months ago, when s. r. Porter
and associates of Los Angeles took
hold. The main shaft has been retim-
bered and a new steam hoist and air
compressor just purchased, which Will
be installed at once.
The keystone ledge. with a width of
IA to 40 feet, is one of the biggest in
the county and its ore is fairly typical
of the entire Cerbat range, carrying
gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc.
