Charles Grimes, of Pasadena. presi-
dent of the Tom Reed Gold Mines
company, accompanied by William
Braley, of New York, passed through |
Kingman a few days ago on their way
to the mines at Oatman. Mr.. Grimes
is firm believer in the future of this !
county and is figuring on the drilling
of a deep well in the Wallapai valley
TO test that locality for artesian water.
On his return TO Pasadena he will at
once set the ball rolling to carry out
the project. Should water be found
he will be in position to control a
large acreage of land.
The four stamp Nlssen mill of the |
Dixie Queen Mining company is ready
to go into commission. The company
has been working a force of men on
the plant the past six months and have
completed one of the most up to date
milling plants in the county. AT the
mine there is a large tonnage of ore
blocked out and the values are high.
NJ. A. Moore, who has been in charge
of the property the past two years, is
a practical mining man and has sue
ceeded in opening the property up in
fine shape. An abundant supply OF
water has also been developed and
when the mill is started it is safe to
say that it will have a prosperous run.
r. n. Dickman, one of the noted
mining engineers of the United States,
with offices IN Chicago, arrived in
Kingman a few days ago and made an
examination of the Alpha mine. Re-
turning to Kingman he departed yes
terday morning by automobile to the
Big Sandy region, where he will ex-
anime the Williams tungsten mines
for large syndicate of tungsten man.
ufacturers. Mr.. Clark of Parker, was
instrumental in bringing the property
to the attention of the people. The
property has produced some of the
richest ore ever taken from a mine
in the United States. Shipments have
been made to Pennsylvania, the ores
netting about 50OS per ton. Mr.. Will
Jams has been working on the mines
the past year and is now said to have
a wonderful showing. He has removed
his family to the mines, and if a sale
is not consummated, viii begin the
extraction of ore for shipment.
W. A. Mcclure and wife, of Chi
cago. accompanied by W. H. Cook and
wife, of Duluth, arrived in Kingman
last week Friday and the following
day the gentlemen departed to the
Alpha mine, accompanied by DR.. L.
D. Godshall. These gentlemen are in
terested in the property and were
agreeably surprised to find that fine
body of copper ore had been struck
the day before their arrival. The ore
gave an average value for four feet in
width of I l-2 per cent copper, eigh-
teen ounces silver and four dollars
gold. 1t is the belief that the vein is
very wide at the point where the
samples were taken, the ore being
massive. 1t is the intention to drive
the drift ahead several hundred feet
and crosscut the vein at different
points. The last fifty feet driven
through shows a desirable grade of
concentrating ore, and every foot of
advance shows improvement in value.
The writer has always had faith in the
Alpha and with proper development
we feel sure that it will be one of the
big properties of the territory.
Joe Prisk was in Kingman the first
of the week arranging for the transfer
Of the Home Pasuime mine, at Mineral
Park, to the newly organized Home
Pastime Mining company. This COM
pany has been organized with a CAPT.
talization of 25O,OOOS and expects to
equip the mine and at once begin the
sinking of a new working shaft. The
property is one of the rich mines of the
Mineral Park basin and has been
shipping ore to the smelter the past
two years. The shaft on the property
has reached a depth of about 100 feet,
but the main work has been done
above that level. In the floor of the
drift the ore appears richer than at
any other point in the mine and it is
expected that depth will reveal some
of the richest ore ever taken from a
Mineral Park mine. The gentlemen
at the head of the new organization
