Mines of the County

John JamlSon IS working on his cop
 per claim near Bismark Canyon, where
 he is getting good shipping ore. The
 ore from this vein carries high values
 in gold.
 J. D. Spargo, one of the best mining
 men in the country, was a Kingman
 visitor from Chloride the latter part
 of last week. MT. Sparge has been
 resident manager of the Marietta
 mines and is awaiting advices to start up the property.
 Marshall D. Draper, a well known
 mining engineer, has been in the Stockton Hill section all of this week examining mining property. MT. Draper was at one time connected with the Minnesota Connor mines, at ChlO- ride.
 Work on the Pilgrim group of mines continues and the showing of ore in the new crosscut is good. It is under stool that the mines will soon be talk en over by Salt Lake people and a large amount of development work done on them. The property is now owned by William O'Dea, the original discoverer.
 Mai. W. A. Mensch was in Kingman from the Enterprise mine a few days this week and took out with him an engine and blower to be installed on the property. A number of men are now at work on the mine and the pr, psrty will be developed to a depth of several hundred feet below the pres ent level.
 Work is now under way in the shaft of the London mine, near old Meyers Well, in the Union Pass section. The main shaft has reached a depth of 100 feet and it is the intention of the own CTS, Richardson brothers, to sink it several hundred feet below the present level. The ore body shows good grade of value and should it, continue to greater depth the property will be one of the best in that part of the county.
 The work of getting the mill of the Gold Grown mines together is we'll un- der way and if no serious difficulties intervene the plant will be in commis- sion by at least the first of December. The company is putting in a complete gold saving plant, which is expected | to do great work in the matter of the recovery of gold. The ores from the mine are reputed to be exceptionally | rich and the big bars of gold that will | be sent out each month will materially | swell the output of this county.
 P. H. Mclaughlin, superintendent Of the c. O. D. mine, was a Kingman visitor yesterday. He reports that the worK of sinking below the 300 level is well under way and that a new station will soon be cut. The flow of water in the mine has been caught up at the 200 and station pump is handling it readily. Below this level there is lit tie water and this can be controlled by the sinking bucket. When the vein is opened on the 400 level it is ex- pected that big body of ore will be cut in the footwall.
 Austin H. Smith, of the Wallapai King Mining Company, is in Kingman from the companys property at Todd Basin, and reports that the shaft has reached depth of llO feet, where a big body of nice looking ore has been encountered. The shaft will be con- tinued to the POO level as fast as possi- ble. It is the general belief that when the ore is cut below the water level a big and rich body of sulphide ore will be found. The ores throughout the zone have been found very rich in gold and silver, but show evil dences of teaching. The company is in good financial condition and is able to drive the shaft to great depth.
 Work is progressing on the new working shaft of the Ruth company. which has been located about 1 70 feet west of the old shaft. It is expected that this shaft will reach the ore body opened up in the west drift at the 100 level and penetrate the ore body to a depth of several hundred feet. The ore at that point is said to be quite rich, averaging high in gold. Assays taken from the breast ran up in the thousands, but the general average is said 10 be about sos. A milling plant
