Ed. Williams reports that snow is
too feet deep at his tungsten mines, in
the Aquarius range.
T. L Ayers and wife came in from
Cerbat Thursday last, where they
have been looking after mining affairs
the past two months. Mr.. Ayers is
the owner of the Cerbat fraction, a
piece of ground lying between the
Cerbat and Rolling Wave mines, and
also holds other interests in that
section.
h. NJ. Bowen and associates have
abandoned the old shaft on the Belle
flower mine and are now sinking a
new shaft on the property. The hoist
er and compress n have been placed
on the new shaft and big progress is
being made. IL is expected to sink
the shaft to a depth of several hundred
feet before any drifting will be done.
This mine is situated about five miles
south of Kingman and close to the W.
R. of A. railroad.
E. Il. Barton, general manager of
the Gold Crown group of mines. was
in Kingman Thursday last on company
business. He reports that the deep
drift on the prop erty has cut the vein
about twelve feet and that no wall is
in sight. Tne y, scut will be driv,
through to the hangi Y wall before
drifting on the vein will be started.
The ore now in sight is high grade
milling rock and should the balance of
the vein prove as good the company
will be confirmed in the opinion that
they have one of the biggest things in
that section of the county.
Thomas J. Grant, superintendent of
the NeYada-Arizona Gold mines com
pany, operating properties in the
Music mountain, was in Kingman
several days this week. He reports
that the chilian mill has been complet-
ed and will soon be ready to begin the
crushing of ore. The cross country
drift has been run in over 300 feet and
is thought to be within twenty or
thirty feet of the vein. When the
vein is encountered drifting will be-
carried on along the course of The
vein four or five hundred feet. Every
thing in and around the camp is in
fine shape and the company expects to
have one of the most complete camps
in the territory within the next few
months.
A. L. McKesson has discovered a !
large vein, near Little Meadows, that |
gave big results in gold. The vein is |
said to be over twenty feet in width |
and the average across the entire out |
crop was about ten dollars, while |
streaks through the vein ran as high |
as thirty dollars to the ton. The find |
is just north of the sugar-loaf noun
tain, north of the wagon road, and but |
a mile or so from Little Meadow stat /
ion. Some years ago E. B. Pine and |
others found some good veins in the |
same locality, but they did very little
work and the claims are now open |
territory. 1t is probable that there
will be rush of prospectors into that
section within the next month, as a
large section of the mountain Is still |
unprospected.
At depth Of ninety feet on the
Sunnyside mining claim, recently ac-
quired by A. c. Werden, of Denver, a
four foot streak of ore has opened up
that gave an average of about thirty
dollars. A foot of the ore on the foot
wall gave an average of sos, while a
foot on the hanging wall gave an
average of about twenty-five dollars to
the ton in gold. The vein lies Just
east of the Tom Reed and is considered
one of the good things of that section.
Mr.. Werden and associates purchased
the groud several months ago, paying /
cash. Work was commenced about
the first of December and has been
carried on uninteruptedly since that
time by small force of men. II is ]
understood that within a short time
the owners contemplate the working
of the property on large scale.
