Mohave County miner., 1910-03-12

s. S. Jones, superintendent of the
 Tom Reed Gold Mines company was Kingman visitor this week. He
 reports that drifting from the 25Olevel
 of the new shaft toward the old shaft
 is now under way and that big progress
 is being made in the work. This drift
 will reach the drift from the old shaft
 and open up splendid shoot of ore
 known to be in that part of the con-
 pany's territory.
 H. L. McCarn is getting the Rain
 bow mine, at Chloride, in the best
 possible shape to output a large ton-
 mage of ore. This mine has been
 worked more systematically than any
 mine ever opened in the county and
 when the company gets ready to begin
 stoping it will know just what tonnage
 the mine will be able to deliver daily
 for at least two years. Development
 will at all times keep pace with the
 depletion of the reserves in the upper
 portion of the mine and the property
 kept on a firm base.
 A holster and other equipment has been ordered for the Oneida mine, Lorena Flat, at Stockton Hill. The property is in charge of J. P Hamilton, one of the member of the Cactus Cop per company. one of the big concerns of Globe. It is purposed to sink the shaft to a depth of several hundred feet and crosscuJ to the vein, thus obviating the necessity of handling water while sinking. The Oneida is on the same vein as that of the J. F. T. and the mines owned by Studley and Swope, in IXL Basin, one of the largest mineralized veins in the county.
 Work on the new mill of the Arizona Gold Mines company will be commenc- ed about the fifteenth of April The equipment is to be the best that money can buy and its operation is to be automatic, the ore going from the mine to the mill without rehandling until it gives up its gold and goes to the bullion pot and the tailings pit When in commission the mill is designed to handle about POO tons of ore daily. The water problem is being solved by the drilling of wells and should these not prove uD in volume other wells will be drilled in the vol canic rock, of the Kingman basin. where sure supply can be had.
 George Klemp, who has been at work the past several months on his Mint mine, near Layne Springs, is in He has driven the tunnel | on this property 300 feet into the mountain and is now getting some very rich ore. There has been a con- plete change in the character of the ground the past twenty feet, the vein up and looking very favor able for the opening of a large ore body. Heretofore the ground was un- usually hard. The Mint has produced some exceptionally rich quicksilver ore and it is believed that when the tun- nel reaches a point below the old ore shoot big body of ore will be found.
 This morning telephone message was received from the c. O. D. mine that the ore body, which so far has been broken up and the ore lying in kidneys, had become a solid body of 'ich sulphide ore. The strike is of great importance, as that part of the ,. O. D. vein is virgin ground. The will drive the shaft through this virgin ground to a con- lection with the drift on the 300 level, where it will open up that part of the 7ein for air, the shaft to be driven to he 800 before stopes are opened. The character of this ore IS very much diff erent from that found in the old works, being heavy silver in the form 1f native and ruby in the arsenical ron. The company has taken over all he interests that have heretofore been in the property and will work it as a unit, which greatly adds O the value of the stock. Should the Ire body continue the stock of the con- ,any will soon be quoted at par.
