Machine shops there, as Kelvin is
situated almost midway between the
company's mines and reduction
plant. The company has title, based
on q. S. patents, to nearly all the
ground at Kelvin, and owing to the
typogra ply of this ground it makes
an ideal townsite.
Prescott Courier: At deptr of
eighty feet in the main shaft beng
sunk on one of the claims owned by
the Skull Valley Mining and Milling
company three feet of ore was en-
couutered last week. The shaft has
been sunk several feet since and the
paystreak shows strong and perma-
nent and samples were brought to
Prescott by G. E. Williams, director
of the company. The assay returns
are better than expected and sinking
is being pushed with more than
usual vigor.
Florence Blade-Tribune: Billy
Davidson, of Superior, has located
temporarily in Ray. He and James
Neary still hold their. copper claims
at Superior and have discovered on
the initial claim of the group, an
east and west fault fssure, similar to
that of the Silver Queen which lies
about one mile to the north on the
same ore zone. The Queen fissure
has been prospected to a depth of
l00 feet and IN ha
levels, remarkable values in silver
and copper. The same amount of
development work on the Davis
Neary, fissure should show the same
results.
Kingman Gner: Joe Prisk and
Charles Perdue have carload of ore
from the Home Pastime mine, at
Mineral Park, at the Needles
smelter. This ore was taken out
during the past two months and is
said to be very rich The leasors Oh
this property have been offered Sl5.-
900 for their lease during the past
week, but refused the offer. Owing
to the heavy body of water in the
mine, sinking was stopped at the
present level, but it is the intention
of the owners and leasers to sink be-
low that level as soon as possible. A
pump will have to be put in TO handle
the water, as a bucket will not do
the work with the present appli-
ances.
Florence Blade-Tribune: Robert
Cadie was down from his Box Canyon
mining camp last week. He has Just
completed the work of hoistsng a
large amount of waste and ore from
the 1OO-foot level of the Arizona
King mine which had been left there
by leasers. The mine is now clean
and looks we'll in the lower workings.
At one point in the I00-foot level the
vein shows a width of ten feet. and
at the bottom of a 50-foot winze
sunk from this level shows a width of
eight feet. The level, which is over
100 feet long, is all in ore. At the
north end the ore streak contracted,
but expanded again after a few feet
had been shot out. The owner, c.
W. Werner, is preparing to patent
the claim and its extensions.
Phoenix Mining Journal: E. L.
Griffin has a contract to drive a
crosscut tunnel a distance of 500 feet
in the mine of the Telurium Mining
and Smelling company, of which A.
J. Chandler is principal owner, north |
of Mesa, Arizona, of which he has al
ready completed 2O6. The tunnel is
run in a mountain 500 feet high, the
tunnel being just above the water
level. The ledges on which the four
teen claims of the company are
located can be traced on the
surface for over a mile, and
fully mile of outcrop is located by
the company. At a distance of
seventy feet, a vein of sulphide ore
was cut that assays Si5 ton in gold. |
This vein where opened at the sur
face was only four feet wide and had
lower values.
Kingman Miner: Wonderful good
fortune seems to be attending the
men who for years have been trying
to develop that most wonderful of
districts, the Weaver. The latest re-
ports, which are said to be from re-
liable sources, are to the effect that
a strike of extremely rich ore has
been made in the Deyonshire mine
which is being operated by E. L.
Bartholomew and James Rees. The
report says that the pay streak is
about two and a half feet in thick
ness and samples $50 to the ton, also
that a small streak about an inch
and a half is almost half gold
Messrs. Bartholomew and Rees own a
half interest in the property and
have bond and lease on the other
half which belongs to the Gillespie
heirs. 1t is said that Bartholomew
and Rees will ship some of the ore
and expect to ship enough to pay
the heirs for their interest before the
purchase price is due.
