Mohave County miner., 1910-12-10
Mines of the County

departed to Los Angeles last Thurs day evening, where he will look after important business matters.
 T. R. Garnier, who is looking after annual work on several groups of mines in the Cerbat section, came to Kingman few days ago on business. He reports that the showing of ore in the St Louis mine is good and that when the main ore body is reached he expects to make regular shipments of lead ore to the shelter.
 John F. Withers, accompanied by Mr. Reeves, of Salt Lake City, and Mark Musgrove, visited the Jackman mines the early part of this week. They were much impressed with the showing of ore on that property, Mir. Jackman having done a large amount of work the past several years. MT. Withers is co-owner with Mr. Jack man in the property.
 John c. Potts came in from the Atlantic & Pacific mining claims near Thumb Butte, in the Union Pass section, last Saturday. He reports that the mines are showing up nicely and that the ore bodies have improved materially with the work done. These claims show large veins of gold bear ing rock, small stringers of which are exceptionally rich. It is the general belief that the mines will become large producers in the near future. The camp is one of the most ideally situat- ed of any in the entire range.
 Eli Hilty yesterday made a trip to the Secret Pass section, where he looked over several mining proposi- tions. He says that there are many large veins of gold bearing rock throughout that section and that the work already done has shown up some good values. Emerson Gee is working near that part of the district and is getting some good results. At the Scott camp small amount of work has been carried on and the indica- tions of opening up big property are good.
 Peter Hanson and Barney Perkins have completed the assessment work on the J. F. T. group of mines and have opened up fine body of lead ore. The vein is very large and the ore streak shows three feet in width. Samples taken from across this width gave result of 43 per cent lead, sixteen ounces silver and four dollars gold The find was made in a deep canyon on the west side of the mountain, where a drift is being driven in on the vein. By the continuation of this drift a depth of at least 800 feet can be secur- ed below the apex of the mountain, where the vein crosses from Bismark Canyon to IXL Basin.
 E F. Thompson made trip to the Golconda mine this week and reports that property looking better to him than ever. The mill was pounding away and the jigs and tables were turning out big stacks of concentrates. Everything in and around the mine was looking lively and prosperous. The dumps are being run through the mill and are producing big tonnage of zinc, while there is an immense quantity of the same class of ore bro- ken down in the stopes. A new system has been inaugurated at the mine by which all ore is now extracted on a royalty basis. The miners are making more money under the system and the company is getting better results. The Golconda is now recognized as one of the greatest of what is known as the Western zinc mines, producing more zinc ore than any mine west of Colorado.
 It is authoratively stated that Dr. L. D. Godshall has rendered his resig- nation as general manager of the Needles Mining & Smelling company to take effect the first of the year. Dr Godshall has been identified with the corporation since it's acquisition of the Needles shelter and the properties of the old Arizona-Mexican NJ. x s. com pany, of which company he had been the general manager. It is not known what Dr. Godshall intends to do after severing his connection with the big mining and smelling corporation, but iv is probable that he will again enter tho r,inipg fold in this conntv The
