Mohave County miner., 1910-11-26
Mines of the County

O. B. Amsden has just returned from trip to Parker, where he ex- amined the mines of the Riverside Copper company for interested parties.
 E. B. Van Deman, for the Ruth Mining company, has let contract to sink the new shaft on the mine 15O feet deeper. The construction com pany has made camp at the mines and is getting things in shape to begin the removal of the stamp mill from the river and put in the new gold saving apparatus. It is expected that the work will be completed within sixty days.
 The last months output of the Tom Reed mines is said to have been 56,- O0OS from ten stamp mill. The mill is now reported to be treating ore that runs better than eos per ton and mak- ing a big saving of values. President Charles Grimes of the company passed through here yerterday on his way to the property. It is expected to have the new mill unit in oIe ation shoI ty. The mine is being further equipped with all the labor saving machinery possible, big compressor and new holster going out there this week.
 Louis D. Gordon, of Salt Lake City, passed through Kingman yesterday on his way to Secret Pass, where he will make an examination of the property now being operated by L. R. Scott for Goldfeld interests. MT. Gordon is one O. the heavy operators of the Goldfeld section and is connected up with some of the heavy interests of the Sagebrush state. Should the mines appeal to him it is expected that large plant of ma chinery will be put on at once and the property opened to depth.
 It is reported here that the Needles Mining and Smelling company is nego- tiating for one of the largest proper ties in the county and that as soon as examination is made it will be taken over. The company is in shape to handle large tonnage of ore at it's mill and smelter and this will have to be met by big output from its own properties until such time as the other base metal mines are in shipping shape.

 The Hercules Mining company is fast getting its machinery at the mine, where everything is being electrically equipped. The property will soon be in shape to output, but the manage ment believes that it is better to await developments on the mine than to rush in a milling plant and soon find it un- suitable to the ores at depth. Mir. Bratlund, manager of the property is one of the brightest mining men in the business and is putting his proper ty on a proper basis for large future output.
 Charles Parisia and John Mcdonald, who own the north extension of the Juno vein, are shipping a carload of ore to the Needles shelter. The ore is said to be the richest ever taken from the property, being massive ruby silver and carrying some values in gold. The gentlemen have splendid showing of the ore and it is said have refused an offer of 50,OOOS for the prop erty. They have been at work devel- oping the mine the past six months and have been rewarded by one of the finest bodies of ore ever seen in the district.
 H. L. McCarn came over from Chlo- ride last Saturday and went on to Needles to look after the sampling of a carload of ore from the Rainbow mine, of which property he is the general manager. Mr. McCarn was much im- pressed with the importance of the big smelling plant and its auxiliary con- centrating and milling plant and be- heves that it will be of inestimable value to the mines of this section. The new concentrator plant will soon be in commission and will handle all classes of ore that can be concentrated readily. During the past two years MT. McCaTn has opened up the Rain- bow mine systematically and now has great bodies of ore in the stopes ready to be broken down and shipped to the smelter.
