Mohave County miner., 1910-11-05

Alpha mine yesterday evening and re-
 ports that good ore is being encounter
 ed in the lower drift on the property.
 Copper is coming in with the iron and
 it is expected that soon good copper
 bodies will be encountered.
 Charles Gracey and wife are King
 man visitors, having come in from the
 coast Thursday. MT. Gracey is on his
 way to Weaver district, where he is
 interested in mining property. He
 will have the assessment work done on
 the mines and will consider the open
 ing of the property for the purpose of
 blocking out ore for milling purposes.
 The mine is the old Klondike, said to
 be one of the large gold properties of Virginia Camp.
 Emerson Gee, the well known min ing engineer, accompanied by George A. Smith and D. A. McMillan, of Los Angeles, this week made deal where by the property of A. L. McKesson, near Little Meadows, was taken over. The gentlemen departed to Los An geles Thursday evening and will make arrangements for the development of the property. Mir. Smith is one of the best known of Los Angeles citizens, having been the republican candidate for mayor of the city at the last cleo tion. With D. A. McMillan he is largely interested in the oil business in California and Mexico. The gentle men are enthusiastic over their new purchase and believe they have one of the most promising gold properties in the territory. The mine will be open ed under competent management and we may soon have a new gold pro- ducer added to the list of Mohave county mines.
 Superintendent P. M. Mclaughlin this week took big car of c. O. D. ore to the shelter at Needles. The car was made up of the rich ore from the stope on the 200 level and is said to have been one of the richest cars of ore ever shipped from that property. At the 250 level the drifts are being run on splendid ore, the shoot from the levels above evidently penetrating the lower ore zone. The ore in this part of the mine appears to be rich in gold, something unusual for the mine, taken from-thsst4ndpo point of shipments from the old stopes. There the ore ran high in silver, the gold values sell dom running above five dollars to the ton, while in this newly opened part of the mine large values are to be had. Some of the ore from the top of stope on the 200 level was found to run as high as 2O1OS in gold and correspond ingly high in silver. One day the latter part of October two miners took from the stope seventeen sacks of this high grade ore.
 H. N. Tracy, of the Tracy Engineer ing company, and manager of the Desert Power and Water company, who has been looking after the affairs of the company in this county the past few weeks, was interviewed by the Los Angeles Express last Thursday. In this interview MT. Tracy gave his views on the mining sections con- tiguous to Kingman and stated what is now apparent to everybody that the river range is fast advancing to the point of a second Cripple Creek, the developed mines increasing their pro- duction of gold month by month and new mines being brought to the pro- ducing stage. He also struck the nail | on the head when he stated that Los has persistently refused to in- vest in any of the enterprises connect ed with mining in this county, the | promoters having to obtain funds in the east for all such investment. In | Los Angeles has lost the trade of this country and | sooner or later will lose the other trade with which it has been favored. Mohave county has been treated badly by the business interests of Los An geles and MT. Tracy but told the truth when he pointed this out to the re- porter of the Express.
