Mohave County miner., 1910-04-30
Mines of the County

1neSe properties were recently bdheu
over by George W. Gibson and as
sociates of Denver.
James Jackman is in from his mines
near Round Valley, where he has been
at work the past several months doing
development work. The mines show
good bodies of lead-silver ore, there
being large tonnage in the. shape of
float and that taken from the openings
in the property.
A big compressor and air holder
passed through here this week, con-
signed to the Needles Smelling and
Mining company, at Chloride. 1t will
be used on the Tennessee mine. The
company is getting new machinery for
all of its property in this county and
it will be but a short time until every
mine upon which work is contemplated
will be fully equipped.
John c. Potts has gone to his mines
at Thumb Butte, where his partners
have been at work the past several
months. The mines are showing good
values throughout, while there are
strilgers of exceptionally rich gold
rock running through the ground. |
The mines are known as the Atlantic |
and Pacific group and are in one of the
most accessible parts of the Union ]
Pass section.
James Poison has been working on
water claim, about three miles south |
of Kingman, where he expects to de-
velop large amount of water for min
ing purposes. A cut is being run in
to the water channel and will be driv-
en- under cover. Water is now run
ming from an opening on the surface I
and it looks as though as large a sup
ply will be found as in the old Conner
well in Railroad canyon.
L. W. johnson, who has mining and
powersite interests in Cataract Can
yon, is in Kingman on business. Mr..
johnson believes that Cataract Can
yon offers one of the most feasible sites
for power generation of any part of
the Grand Canyon and that money in
vested in the scheme for the general
ion of large volume of horsepower
would be one of the greatest money
makers of all the propositions now
before the public.
Joseph Krauss, who has a group OF
mines south of the Boundary Cone.
was in Kingman several days this
week. He reports that he has been at
work on the properties and that they
are opening up we'll. One of the claims
shows three feet of ore for depth of
sixty feet, while the other shaft shows
a better grade. The mines are in a
good part of the district and 1t is more
than probable that it will net the own
ers neat fortune before long.
James Uncapher, of Mineral Park,
was in Kingman several days this
week. In speaking of mining con-
ditions in and around Mineral Park Mr..
Uncaphnr stated that never in the his
tory of that camp did business look
more prosperous and that new proper
ties were being taken up and develop.
ment started every week. At the
Keystone work was progressing rapid
ly and the new management expected
to soon have another lift opened below
the old works.
The Gold Cross company, owning
property near Cedar, is getting things
in shape to do large amount of work
This company recently took over the
Gold Cross and other properties from
the estate of the late Tibucio Padillo
and Joe Kelsey. The installation of a
mill has been considered, but it was
deemed best to open the mines up to a
depth of at least two hundred feet and
run drifts through the ore bodies be-
fore considering milling subjects
There is no doubt that the company
has good property and that with pro-
per development it can be made to pay
well. The ore runs about 25S in gold
throughout.
A few weeks ago Jay j. Creeland, of ;
Philadelphia, the owner of the Con- :
nor-Minnesota properties, was here !
and made arrangement for the sale of
the property to other parties. Mr..
Walsh is now at the mines preparing !
to start work for the new owners and
as soon as everything is gotten in {
readiness the work of unwatering the
shaft will be put under way. The
new owners are to sink the present
shaft to a depth of 1000 feet and open
