Park, came over to Kingman last
Wednesday evening to meet Mr.. Nc
Nulty's sister, who came in from the
east. They have returned to the
Park, where Mr.. McNulty is in charge
of the properties of the Aztec Tur-
quoise company.
S. w. Mudd, G. A. Lonsbery and
Il. w. Squires, of Los Angeles, looked
over the mines of this county this
week. The two first named gentle
men are among the best known mining
engineers of the coast, while Mr..
Squires is a well known fnancier of
Los Angeles. The gentlemen visited
and examined the Midnight mine, at
Chloride. The property is owned by
Kean and John st. Charles and Wilbur
Babcock, and is one of the big copper
bearing lodes of that section. The
gentlemen also visited the Gold Road
and Tom Reed properties.
This week A W. st. Clair closed a
deal on the Kokomo group of mines,
near the Tom Reed, owned by Gardner
and Goodrich, for the interest of John
Levizey, one of the best known of the
big Leadville mining operators. Mr..
Levizey is expected in Kingman today.
and will go at once to the mines to
begin operations. The property taken
over lies under the escarpement of the
volcanic bluffs, high above the Tom
Reed. The owners have been at work
on the property the past two years and
have fine showing of gold ore, some
of which is said to run we'll up into the
hundreds of dollars to the ton. The
new owner will develop the property
to considerable extent and later will
put in a reduction plant.
One day this week two men took
from the Slope on the 200 level of the
c. o. D. mine II sacks of ore having
value above 2,OOOs per ton. In this
stope the values run to gold, some
thing unheard of in that rich property.
Owing to the heavy flow of water a
drift is being carried off at the $50
level, where good ore is being taken
out of a new vein, a recent discovery. !
this drift the water in the
old works is being lowered and when
the 300 is reached it is thought that
the water pressure from the old works
will have been reduced TO a minimum. |
When the mine has been oper ed and
made with the 300 level an
immense tonnage of ore will be OBJ
tanned and regular shipments made to
the smelter. The mine is now more |
than paying all expense of de-
something that few of the
mines in the territory can boast of.
The big power plant in Kingman,
with its two units in operation, Is des-
tined to be one of the largest steam
plants on the Pacific coast.
The third unit is now being construct
ed and will give the plant a capacity
Of 5000 horse power under ordinary
pressure and nearly 5000 horse power
lnder high pressure. This unit is
being built with a view to adding to it
with a minimum of expense in the
uture. Twenty-Five men are working
IN the plant and expect to have it
complete in sixty days. The company
S to run new lines out to the mining
lamps in Union Pass, making a loop
rom the Tom Reed through Silver
Creek, Barton's Camp, Expansion,
,ver the Union Pass and back to King
nan by way of Coyote Hill. This new
oop will give the company a circuit
If all the big mines of San Francisco
district and enable the properties in
he isolated sections to operate at a
minimum of the old cost of power gen.
'ration. Within the year the power
ines will be carried out to the north.
where properties are now being op-
.rated with high priced gasoline gen.
'rators. The sales OF power will soon
exceed 1000 horse power in the San
district and fully LOCO horse
'ower can be sold in Wallapai district,
With the demand growing every day.
