TWO BARS FROM KINGMAN
GOLD MINE WEIGH $4,000
Handsome Shipment Made from
Tom Reed-RiCh Strike
at 0atman

KINGMAN, ARIZ., June 1.-TWO
big bars of bullion were brought in
from the Tom Reed Mill last Saturday
evening by Burt Lunceford. The bars
weighed about $4,000 and were the
handsomest ever shipped from the
property They were made from a
cleanup of the plates, the auro-cya-
hides not having been melted down at
the time to enable shipment to be made
Saturday. The mine is said TO be pro-
ducing a much higher grade of ore
than at any time in its history ana
the mill is handling large tonnage
A. H, Smith of Los Angeles is at the
old Mexican mine in Todd Basin, where
he is getting in new machinery
tine hcister !s being hauled cut te me
property and will soon be in commls-
sion. A shaft will be sunk on the ore
body in the mine to a depth of several
hundred feet. At the point where the
shaft will be sunk a fine body of rich
ore was found many years ago.
Report from the Tub mine has it
that forty feet of heavily mineralized
ore has been opened on the deepest
level. This ore is complex, carrying
values in gold, silver, lead, copper and
zinc. Some of the ore is clear zinc and
easily assorted by hand into the proper
grade for shipping, while the greater
part of the massive vein will furnish
milling ore. With a mill on this prop
erty capable of handling a thousand
tons of ore daily it would soon be one
of the biggest payers in this part of
the territory.
TEN DOLLARS A POUND
A report has been circulated in King
man that a great strike of ore was
made a few days ago on the property
near Oatman, now being operated by
D. P. Wright. The ore coming from
the shaft is said to have value of $40
a pound Inquiry at Oatman confirms
the strike, but not the extent of the
ore body. Mr.. Wright has just in
stalled a hoisting plant on the prop
erty and is sinking a working shaft.
Sinking is now under way on the
Summit mine of the Needles Mining
and Smelling company, on the back
bone of the Cerbat range, north of
Stockton Hill. The vein is one of the
largest in that section and the cross
cuts show sixteen feet Of solid ore.
This ore carries lead, gold and silver,
together with about 40 per cent iron
making it most desirable smelling ore.
The Gold Cross people are now at
work building a road into the property
and as soon as this is accomplished
the work of opening the mine at depth
will be commenced. 1t is said that the
mine shows a good body of milling
ore and that there are many small
streaks through the mass that are eX-
ceptionally rich. The company is well
able financially to carry on its under
takings.
PREPARES FOR MACHINERY
The wagon road into IXL Basin,
under construction by the Arizona
Turquoise company. will be completed
by the first of the month. When this
road is ready for use machinery will
be hauled in and the work of opening
up the old IXL mile will be COM
menced. The property is a good one
and the people back of the project
have the means to carry out the work
of developing the mine to a producing
stage.
Charles Hanson and son, who have
been working on their mining claim in
Minnesota district, have opened one of
the richest bodies of ore ever found in
that section of country Some of the
ore will run as high as $4,000 to the
ton, while much of it will run into the
hundreds of dollars. The property Is
owned by Hanson and son and James
Burrows. This property is one of the
first discoveries in Minnesota district
and the surface ores produced some
very rich ore.
