report TO make, and this might help
in the probing.
Fortunately the waiting interval was
not greatly prolonged - fortunately,
since for the three young women the
reaction was come and the full horror
OF the disaster was beginning to make
itself felt. Lidgerwood contrived the
necessary diversion when the relief
train from Red Butte shot around the
curve of the hillside cutting.
"van Lew, suppose you and Jefferis
take the womenSout of the way for n
few minutes while we are making the
transfer" he suggested quietly. "There
are enough of us to do the work, and
we can spare you."
This left Flemister unaccounted for,
but with very palpable effort he
shook himself free from the spell of
whatever had been Stacking him.
'That's right" he assented briskly.

the three young women a little way

of his habitual self possession. "If

Ldgerwood interrupted sharply,

1t was not n special weakness Of

They are Erik Ruomad of Hcrman's

Gold Road Bullion.

Last Monday the court visitors in Kingman were treated to a glimpse of one of the big weekly bars of bullion that comes i n from Gold Road for shipment to the mint at San Francis co. The bar weighed 2l, ,OOOS and was the result of a cleanup of the past seven days run. From the men that have been working at the mine and mill we are informed that everything is running smoothly and that the mine is capable of flooding the mill with a better grade ore than that now being treated.
 Regarding the matter of the sale of the mines and milling plant to the United States Smelling company, locally there is little known, but those who profess to know say that the sale is sure to go through. Wm. Bayley, chief representative of the American interests in the corporation, is now in Paris, and before he returns to this country he will have arranged all de- tails for the transfer of the property. This is said to be a surety, the prop erty going for something over two millions of dollars. The ultimatum of the Gold Road company has been ac- cepted by the U. s. Smelrng, with few notifications in terms of payment.
 Mohave county will be greatly bene- fitted by the sale of thls great mine, as it will bring into the gold mining sectiUn of the county one of the great est mining and smelling corporations of the world, and with it betterments to mining and milling capacity of the property that will make the property one of the greatest gold producers of the world.

Systematic Looting of
 Gold Road Mill.

| A telegram from San Francisco, dat ed the 3lst of March, conveys the in- formation of the arrest of a man giv- ing the name of William Kellogg, who immediately confessed to the robbery of the Gold Road mill of precipitates valued at 3,555S. It appears that the police were on the track of gold stolen from the steamer Hun boldt and found precipitates in an assay office. The assayer described the man that left the bullion there and later the officers found Kellogg on the street and placed him under arrest. Under questioning Kellogg told the police that he had been engaged in the systematic loot ing of the Gold Road mill for many years, having been employed in the mill since it was first erected. He al- so gave the police the names of others who were engaged with him in the stealing. The men are well known here, Kellogg being an assumed name. It lS 6N6u SOdlOO llidb bhG J'5Culd- tions have been going on from tho in- stallation of the first mill at the Gold Road, a man now dead, having taken hand in the general footing of the precipltating tanks.
 For long time it has been apparent that there was stealing going on at the mill, but the manager has been unable to locate the leak. The ap- parent saving of values was far in ex- cess of the recovery as shown by the bullion, but just where the difference went was not discoverable.
 It is not known what action the management of the company will take in the matter, but it is probable that in the event of restitution being made there will be no prosecution. George Baily, who is interested with his fath- CT in the great property, has gone to San Francisco and will make a thor ough investigation of the affair.

Gro Plata Mine To Operate.

O. B. Stanton, a well known mining operator of New York, has been in Kingman the past two weeks looking over the Gro Plata property with the purpose of starting up work. A big Cameron pump has been ordered and as soon as it arrives will be placed in the mine and the water removed. It is purposed to reopen the mine and sink below the present level. and at the same time open the stopes and work out the thousands of tons of mil ling ore known to be left in the mine by the leasers and others working on the property in the years gone by. Mir. Stanton has been operating prop critics in other parts of the territory and believes this will be one of the richest of all mineral belts.
Mohave County miner., 1911-04-08

The big mill of the Tom Reed Gold Mines Company is in commission aud is said to be working smoothly. Tax ing it for granted that the same class of ore will be sent to the new mill as that furnished the old mill, the output of bullion will undoubtedly be in the neighborhood of 2OO,OOOS. The main working shaft of the mine has reached depth of about GOO feet and drifting for the vein is under way. Should the same grade of ore be found as that produced by the older workings the mill will at once become one of the most valuable properties in the United States. The average value of the ores sent to the mill during the past six months has been over sos per ton.
 George Aitken was over from his properties at Music mountain, where he has been working a force of men. Two shafts are being sunk on the mines and hoisting plants are soon to be put in. One of the shafts en- countered water at depth of seventy feet, while the other struck the water stratum at depth of fifty feet. To make progress against the water the hoisting plants are a necessity. The mines are showing up well and it is expected that some big bodies of gold ore will be opened. Supervisor w. B. Stephens and wife were in Kingman this week from their home on the Big Sandy, Mir. Stephens having been called here to attend the quarterly meeting of the Board of Supervisors.

Strike on the Rico.

w. c. Clack, who is in town attend ing court, reports that near the sum- init of the Cerbat range, and on the Rico ground, he has made an impor- tant discovery of ore. Some time ago he discovered float rock that gave re- suits of over 400 ounces silver and fourteen ounces gold, but was unable to find the vein whence it came. Some days ago he went to the place where he found the float and started a systematic search for the vein. Oyer two hundred feet down the hill and on the Rico vein he dug out ore that greatly resem mbled the float rock. This ore is a mass of horn silver and estimated to have a better value than that of the float. As soon as the Clack brothers are excused from at tendance at court they will go to the mine and begin development on the new find. The property is situated on the summit of the mountain, above the c. O D, and has been a producer of extremely rich quicksilver ore. The vein from which the new ore came is very wide and the impression is that the boys will open up one of the great est properties in the county.
Mohave County miner., 1911-04-08

It Is well knov-n saying in the min ing country that some men have a ''nose for ore', and this may well be said of A. L. McKesson. Wherever he goes on his prospecting trips he is sure to make finds of ore, more or less rich in value. This week he has been prospecting in the Wallapai, range, between Wallapai Springs and the Enterprise mine and returned to King man with some of the finest ore we have seen in long time. The ore is a mass of horn silver and from ap- pearances it ought to carry values in gold, but so far no assay has been made. MF. McKesson says that he went to the Coin spr.ng for water and while there saw some galena ore that had been broken down near the water trough. While looking at it he observ- ed some smoky looking quartz Tn a ledge and picking it up he was sur prised to note that it was plastered over with horn silver. The ledge is on the main traueled trail and hun dreds of people have passed over it, but owing to the appearance of the ledge have probably concluded that it contained nothing. He will at once begin active work on the mine and ex- poets to open up bonanza.
 A. w. Bratland, General Manager of the Hercules Mining Company, ar rived in Kingman yesterday from that property. He reports the property has been equipped with a 30 horse power electric hoist, pumps, and ma- chine drills. The main shaft has reached depth of I2O feet. At the 60 foot level where the shaft has been connected with the adit drift, a station has been cut where an immense body of ore shows. The shaft is to be con- tinued to a depth of POO feet from which point the vein will be crosscut and drifts run north and south. So far in the development the mine shows hOlluOIlul OI6 UOultS- V. r bFOW0. president and treasurer of the com pany, with offices in Los Angeles, was visitor at the property this week. The mine is making water rapidly and it is expected a quantity will be de- veloped sufficient for milling purposes.
 Three shifts of miners are now driv- ing the two drifts from the bottom of the Ruth shaft to a connection. It is expected the work will take the bet ter part of two months. The General Manager c. B. Van Deman wired Supt. Ely Hilty from his home in Jacksonville, Fla, to rush work with all possible dispatch in the mine, that stopes may be opened and the mill put in commission within the next sixty days. Both drifts continue to show ore values, while the vein width re- mains at better than five feet. Every foot of work shows improvement in the value of the property.
