Mines of the County

Adm Alexander, one of the owners
in the Pinkham mine, at Chloride,
has been looking over that district the
past week.
H. W. Duker, of Los Angeles, one of
the directors of the Grand Boy Mining
company, arrived in Kingman yester-
day on his way to the mines.
Charles J. Hutchinson, of Expansion
camp, was a Kingman visitor this
week. He reports that everything at
the camp is moving along nicely and
that the new mill will soon be put in
commission.
James Dundon was in Kingman from
Cerbat, this week, in which section he
owns several groups of promising
mining claims. He reports much
activity throughout the several mining
camps and believes this will be one of
the busiest years in the history of
mining in Wallapai mining district.
1t is reported that a Mr.. Lyon has
made an important gold discovery in
the hills to the east of the Cienega
ranch, close in the GOLD Cross prop
erty. The specimens of rock exhibit
ed by him are fully half gold. The
section in which the discovery was
made is known to be gold bearing and
many pieces of rich float rock have
been picked up there in years past,
but no discovery of the vein has been
made. The ledge is said to be OF. good
proportions and the strike is one of
the most important ever made in the
Cedar country.
Walter Harvey Weed, one of the
best known mining engineers in the
business, was here from New York the
past week, accompanied by A. w.
Newberg, of Ray Arizona. Messrs.
Weed and Newberg visited the Gold
Road and Tom Reed section and was
well pleased with the conditions in
that section. He stated that the Tom
Reed mill was one of the most COM
plete gold saving plants he had ever
seen and that the saving was except
ionally close for the character of the
ore. Mr.. Weed has been looking over
some mining property for an eastern
client and may return and look over
the other districts of the county.
M. A. Moore, general manager of
the Dixie Queen Mining company, ar
rived in Kingman yesterday, with his
big auto truck, on which he is having
some repairs made. The trip from
Chic ide was made in less than three
hours. Mr.. Moore has been using the
truck to do all the heavy freighting
between the mines and Chloride and
has hauled as high as seven tons on
the machine. The road across the
valley is quite sandy, but the machine
with its big load of freight negotiates
the sand patches without visible
trouble. A more thorough trying out
of the machine will be watched with
interest by mining men and if it is
found to do the business it is probable
that more of the machines will be put
in.
Drifting is now under way from the
bottom of the 100 foot shaft on the
Bellehower mine, six miles southwest
of Kingman. A sample was taken
from a width of five feet in the bottom
of the shaft, this week, which gave a
return Of sixteen dollars gold. The
ore also carries values in silver and
lead. Several mining men have been
out to tns property and express the
opinion that it is just on the top of a
big shoot. Work will be driven ahead
as fast as possible and the mine open
ed up several hundred feet along the
vein, after which another lift of 100
feet will be sunk. The vein is one of
the best in the country south of town
and H. NJ. Bowen, the manager of the
property is jubilant over the outlook
for big winning.
The Needles Mining & Smelling
company this week received a big
White gas car direct from the factory.
The machine was especially built for
this company, having a twelve inch
clearance and forty inch wheels. The
car will be used by the management
of the properties out of Kingman and
will be found of great convenience in
visiting the mines throughout the
district. The machine negotiated the
heavy grade OF Stockton Hill, carrying
four passengers to the Summit mine,
at the apex of the Cerbat range with
