Mines of the County


 near Golconda, is in Kingman. Mir. Connolly has been at work on the mines the past six or eight months and claims to have opened up large body of good ore. The veins in that section are very large and of rather good grade in general.
 Fred Brawn and Fred Collidge have
 gone to the Nighthawk mine, where they are doing the assessment work on the Nighthawk and Rip Van Wrinkle claims. These two mines are among the old producers of this district, hav- ing paid many thousands of dollars in dividends to their owners during the past twenty-five years.
 Dr. L. D. Godshall general manager of the Needles Mining & Smelling company, was a visitor to Kingman this week, going from here to the various camps of the company. It is understood that this is the last visit of Dr. Godshall to the company's prop erty, his resignation as an official of the company taking effect on the first of January. It is probable that he will be heavily interested in other properties in this county the coming year and will give some of them his personal supervision.
 J. L. Phillips, who has been manag- ing head of the Gold Road M. & E. company the past two years, is being superseded by new man at the mines. It is understood that Mir. Phillips will still remain with the Gold Road com pany in the capacity of consulting en- gineer. MT. Phillips has made of the Gold Road one of the great mines of the world, and has left to the new management an ore reserve that can not be depleted within the next twelve years.
 We understand that W. E. Hughes, who holds a bond on the Keystone mine, is expected to begin operations on the property shortly and that ar engagements are now under way to that end. There has been some misunder- standing but this will soon be strengthened out and the mines opened to great depth. The Keystone is one of the first discoveries in Mineral Park Basin and has always been con- sidered one of the best mines in the district.
 John Levizey, well known Colorado mining man, now residing in Los Angeles, has been looking over the properties he recently acquired near the Tom Reed. This week he bought all the interests of Ed. Gardner in the Big Wonder claim. an extension of one of the mines taken over some time ago by Mr. Levizey. The group is said to have some great showings of gold ore and that with development the mines give promise of becoming producers of large tonnage of rich ore.
 The United States Smelling company. of which company the Needles Mining x Smelling company is an auxiliary, claims to have successfully demon strated the handling of complex ores by the Huff electrostatic process, and at its plants are ready to treat ores har irrh iy, vin on a custom basis. It is not known that this process will be put in at Needles, but the ores of this county that are offered for treatment are of this class. The tonnage that can be obtained of ores running in zinc. lead and iron overshadows that of any oth- CT complex ore. At the Elkhart there are many thousand tons of this class of ore that is easy of extraction and would present an ideal ore on which to do experimental work.
 P. H. Mclaughlin and Marvin Ish have just returned from a trip to the Union Pass section, where they ex- amined a large number of mining properties. While there they took look through the Gold Grown proper ties and were agreeably surprised with | the immense showing of ore in that great mine. It is estimated that there | is fully 100000 tons of milling ore in sight that has value of over l2S a | ton. The vein is immense and mo- where that they banned the ore did they fail to get gold. Mir. Mclaughlin is of the opinion that this property is one of the greatest in the territory and is sure to make a record when the new | mill is in commission. The mine has
