los ANGELES MEN PLAN
To CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS
Copper Properties in Chemehue.
Wis Mountains Attract Local
Mining Investors

KINGMAN, July 25.-William Ben
nett and John A. Steele have bonded
to j. Engler and o. P. Topliff of Los
Angeles their three copper claims and
two mill sites and water rights in the
south end of the ChemehueVis noun
tanns. S J. Haynes and associates Of
Los Angeles located ten claims sur
rounding the Engler g. Topliff proper
ties, and it understood that CONSOLE
dation of interests will soon be effected.
Work on the group is to be started
about october l, or as soon as weather
conditions permit. Assays from the
ore run from per cent copper to 10
per cent, and also carries values in
gold and silver.
Kean st. Charles of the Midnight
mine at Chloride Is sinking q winze
on the ore body on the 100 level and
expects to exploit the rich body of ore
into new ground. Heretofore the boys
have been making a search through the
big vein from the 200 level and while
they have cut much ore of milling
grade they have not cut into the rich
shipping ore encountered above. BY
sinking on the ore body the develop
ment of the mine will be expedited.
The vein is said to be in the neighbor-
hood of 200 feet wide and in such a
great mass of vein matter 1t Is ad-
visable to at all times keep on the rich
ore shoot.
At the c. o. D. mine the shift on
the 200 level has broken into the old
works. When the drill cut through the
water spouted out under such pressure
that 1t knocked down one of the miners
and rolled him over on the floor of the
drift, but did not cause any injury.
The pumps are handling the water
nicely and it will not be long until the
old works to the 200 level are drained.
Splendid ore was found throughout the
new ground and the ore in the breast
of the east drift gives nearly two
ounces in gold. The company has a
car of ore on the way to the smelter
that is expected to give better results
than, the shipment sent out a month
ago. Hereafter a car will be sent out
from the mine every ten days. All
second class ore will be left on the
dump to be later handled by the mill.
Ely Hilty is getting things in shape
at the Ruth mine for active develop
ment. The property is equipped with
a holster capable of extending develop
ments to a considerable depth.
Work on the Cyclopic mine is said
to be progressing rapidly, and 1t will
not be long until the main shaft will
have reached a depth of 300 feet. The
Cyclopic vein is large and carries fine
values in gold. With greater depth it
Is the opinion that enough water will
be encountered to supply the demands
of any milling plant that may be put
in. These mines are situated in the
uppe" part of Gold Basin and in one of
the best localities in that rich section.
1t is understood that a deal has been
made on the Blue Mary mine, sixteen
miles eastetriy from Yucca, by which
Los Angeles men take over the prop
erty and will soon be at work on de-
velopment. The mines are owned by
J. J. Jerome and Mrs. Edna Steen. Re
Gently a fine streak of ore was opened
in the property, and it is proposed to
sink a shaft to a depth below the
change and develop the mine to a con-
siderable extent. The vein is a large
one and the indications are that great
bodies Of ore will be found at depth.
