new find in that section. Nothing is
known of the values found in the prop
critics, but it is understood to be good.
Work is progressing nicely on the
Gold Cross mine, at Cedar. The new
road from Eshom ranch is now com
pleted and an easy grade allows of the
haulage of freight to that place at low
cost. The other grade to the camp is
also to be repaired, so that either road
can be used in emergency. When this
property is outputting it will add
largely to the gold product of this
county.
The Cedar Valley Mining company
has given a bond on its property to
another mining corporation and work
is to be soon under way. Men are now
employed fixing up the road from the
mines to Yucca, where supplies will
be shipped in and hauled out by wag-
oas The company is said to have a
large treasury behind it, which, by
careful management, would insure the
success of the undertaking. The mines
are all right and ought to be big pro-
ducers of gold and silver.
Frank L. Mahoney, who has a 400
foot contract driving the lower adit drift
on the Alpha mine, is working two
shifts on the work and making reason
ably good progress. The breast of the
drift is now in about 430 feet and is
showing some good ore. Only part of
the vein is showing in the drift, the
impression being that it is ten or
twelve feet wide at this point. With
in few feet more the drift will be
under the old ore shoot from which
some of the richest ore ever taken
from the mine was shipped. The
whole breast of the drift shows miner
al, some of it being a good grade of
copper.
The Bellehower mining company has
been organized by n. F. Marsh and II.
Nj. Bowen, with a capitalization of
500, 900 one dollar shares. The COM
pany is the owner of the Bellefower
group of mines, situated about six
miles southwest of Kingman, which
was recently purchased from Rothe
a d Olson, these gentlemen taking the
property over from Robert Kier. The
Belle6ower shows some very rich ore
wherever opened, many tons from
which was shipped to the smelters.
1t is the intention of the new CON-
pany to develop the mines to a depth
of several hundred feet and plant to
handle the ores will probably be put
in.
A prospector came in from the Bill
Williams Fork country this week
bringing with him some fine speci-
mems of tungsten ore, which he claims
TO have discovered in one of the noun
tains bordering that stream. He in
terested fellow miner and the two
men departed to the discovery, where
thorough examination of the prop
erty will be made. Tungsten ore is
now worth 1903 per unit. and the de-
mand in the market of the world is
growing day by day. The uses of
tungsten are numerous and growing.
a big body of the ore in this county
would give US a new industry, as most
of the ore would have to be milled
and dressed up on the ground. If the
property is on Bill Williams Fork
plenty of water can be had for all
milling purposes.
Last Thursday the c. o. D. mine
shipped another carload of ore from
the property that is said to be one of
the richest cars of ore ever taken
from that wonderful old mine. This
ore has been taken from the new work,
more than four hundred feet from the
old works. from which more than one
million dollars was taken in the early
days of the county. The ore taken
from the shaft has practically paid
for all the work that has been done on
the mine. The shaft is now down
about go feet and will soon reach a
connection with the 1000 foot drift
from the old 200 level. The water will
be pumped from this level and all the
old works drained, enabling the reop-
ening of this ground and making it
possible to secure the thousands of
tons of rich milling ore in the old
slopes. The property will be able to
deliver to the smelter at least car
load of good ore dallv from the big
