Mines of the County

Col. J. c. Swickard has just received
some new ore from his find, north of
Antares, which have given better re-
suits than the surface ores. The lead
ores ran GA per cent lead, while the
dry ores gave results of over sos in
gold. The work now being done on
the find is said to be developing nice
property.
P. H. Mclaughlin, superintendent
of the c. o. D. Mining company, has
gone to Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco, where he will attend to mining
business. During Mr.. McLaughlin's
connection with the c. o. D. mine he
has done splendid work and is sure to
make of the property one of the big
mining successes of the county.
John p. jacobson is back again from
a two months trip to the Red Hills
placers, IN the Chemehuevis valley.
He left his partners, Hedburg and
Wilkinson, at the mines, where they
were making a test of the ground. 1t
is the opinion of Mr.. Jacobson and
many others that the ground is the
best in the territory and capable of
producing an immense tonnage of rich
gravel.
William Ochs, a well known Salt
Lake mining man, is in Kingman, ar
ranging for the starting up of work
on the mines recently taken over
from A. L. McKesson, and situated in
the country near Little Meadows. Mr..
Ochs is said to be one of the best of
the mining operators from our sister
state and will push development on
the properties as fast as conditions will
permit.
Work on the Tennessee shaft below
the 200 level is being rushed as fast as
possible and it is expected that the
connection with the old shaft at the
400 will be accomplished within the
next 81 days. When the property is
unwatered to the 400 it is the general
belief that the property can be opened
and the big bodies of zinc ore in the
old slopes removed and sent to the
smelter.
Richard Marsh, well known in this
county, is said to have become inter-
ested in an immense vein of tungsten
ore in the Loon Lake country of Wash
ington. The vein is one of the largest
ever discovered, and is being rapidly
developed. Marsh was one of the best
tributors in this county years ago, be-
ing successful in every venture. He
later went to the Klondike and finally
became resident of Rossland. He is
now living in Spokane, where he has
an assay Office.
L. ". johnson and Walter De Liere
are opening up fine mining property
IN the Wright Creek section. They
have run a cross country drift to the
vein, a distance of about 200 feet,
where they get about 100 feet below
the apex. At this point they cut an
ore bearing vein that shows high cop
per and gold values. The copper is
disseminated through a large area of
country below the vein. which shows
considerable teaching. The boys are
to drift on the vein and open 1t up in
a systematic manner.
w. f. Hughes and H. w. Squires,
of Los Angeles, have been here this
week arranging the final details of the
taking over of the Keystone property
and the settling up of the affairs of the
S. R. Porter Mining company, which
had deal on for the same property.
The new company is to commence work
on the mines at once and on a large
scale. Work is to be under the direc-
tion of one of the best mining engi-
neers in the business. The first pay
ment was made on the property and
regular payments will be made until
the property is taken over. The new
corporation is well able financially to
carry out any of its undertakings, and
has a splendid property to work on.
The bright days of near-winter
should attract the prospector to the
hills, where the lure of gold is always
reckoning the hardy fellow on and on.
The mountains of Mohave county Of
fer the least prospected ground to the
prospector, and with the assurance
that practically every metal in the
world can be found here, our hills
ought to be overrun with the men
