Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1910-01-01

W. EOECS Has SOuC W Ills tungsten
properties, twelve miles east of Yucca,
where he is engaged in doing the an
nual work. He claims to have a group
of mines with big showing Of the rare
mineral.
H. NJ. Bowen is working a small
force of men at the Bellehower mine,
southwest of Kingman. 1t is under
stood that the holster and machine
drill plant will be put on the mine as
soon as possible.
The showing in the tunnel of the
Gold Crown mines is said to show
much improvement as the vein rs en-
tered toward the hanging wall. All
the ore give results in gold and much
of it shows rich stratas.
w. II. Smith and a number of rel
atiYes are at work on their mines near
the McCracken. They have many
good showings of ore and it is expect
ed that the mines will be merged into
the big deal on the old property.
The Gold Cross company is soon to
put in a mill at the property near
Cedar. 1t is said that large body of
ore running about twenty-five dollars
to the ton in gold has been opened up
and that good supply of water Is
obtainable for milling purposes.
Peter White, one of the owners OF
the Tyro mines, is in Kingman. He
reports that in doing the assessment
work on the property good ore was
found in many places. The Tyro is
one of the largest veins in the north
end of the San Francisco district.
J. S. Withers was over in the Union
Pass section this week, where he is
interested in large and promising
group of gold mines. He reports that
there is much activity in that section
and believes that another year will
see many properties operated on a
large scale.
The drift on the Alpha mine has
been run in thirty feet the past month
and shows a well mineralized vein of
ore, some of which appears to carry
values in zinc. The ground is stiffen-
ing up and it is probable the old ore
body will soon be reached. The work
is being pressed to completion as fast
as possible, when another contract
will be let.
The United States Mining and
Smelling company is working quite
force of men at the Banner and other
mines, at Stockton Hill. The roads
to the mines are being repaired and
new roads built to accommodate the
haulage of supplies to the properties
on which work is soon to be done. !
Everything is being put in readiness
for the employment of large forces of
men at all the properties. The CON-
pauy will spend an immense sum of
money in the development of the
mines and shafts are to be run down |
to depth of about one thousand feet.
An Office has been opened in Kingman,
from which point all work will be
directed. The company also is get
ting things in shape for work on the
Tennessee mine, at Chloride, which
was recently taken over. After the
first of the year things will commence
to hum all along the mining line with
this company.
Don't forget that Arizona is beco m
ing the most widely known of all the
mining states of the Union, it's con-
sistent high production of copper,
gold, silver, lead and zinc, attracting
mining investors from all sections of
the globe. While American invest
ors were passing up the mines of Ariz-
ona for those of Mexico, European
investors were disbursing millions
yearly in dividends from the copper
mines of the territory. Now, the big
fellows of the United States are look
ing the territory over for likely prop
erty, and do not appear to care just
what the metal is, so long as there is
a possibility of a dividend behind it
when properly financed and equipped.
Arizona within five years will be the
banner producer of the base and
precious metals, every part of the
territory experiencing a boom in its
mining industry.
