Sampling the Gold Road Mines.

I
 A large force of men are hard at word sampling the ore bodies of the great Gold Road mines under the ] direction of seven engineers. The work is under the direct supervision of A. W. Hewitt, one of the field engi- neers of the United States Mining, Smelling & Refining company. It is estimated that at the rate the work is now being carried on an estimate can be made of the ore in sight by the first of February. The report is current that report will have to be made and the payment for the property rendered by the first of February. The ore bodies in the property are immense, running more than 1900 feet in length along the vein, practically all of which has been opened to a depth of over 700 feet, with its many levels and cross cuts. The work of sampling has been blocked out, every five feet of the work being covered by miner moiling of the face and getting thorough sam pie, with here and there a general breaking down of the vein.
 The U. s. Mining & Smelling con- pany is one of the largest corporations operating in the county, and the talk ing over of the Gold Road mines by it will add largely to the interest of the people in that property. They have the capital back of them to put the mine on proper producing basis and make it one of the greatest producers of gold on the Pacific coast. The mine has never been equipped to properly care for the immense tonnage of ore opened up in the property. nor has it ever been brought down to a minimum of cost production. The mill has been scattered over too much territory to be economically operated, when power is taken into considers tion. At the present time the mine should be making a daily production of 1000 tons or more and the mill capacity should be up to this produc- tion. No one is to blame for lack of production and the milling conditions, because of the fact that the old plant had to be added to irregularly. Probab- ly nowhere in the country has the ore been saved to such a high percentage as in this old mill, but the cost of handling is too high and more eco homie system will have to be put in. With plenty of capital back of it there is no doubt that the new corporation will make of this mine one of the big dividend payers of the world. The ore bodies have only been scratched over, practically all the mine below the 300 level being intact.

Arizona Again First in the Production
 of Copper.

The geological survey estimates the production of copper in Arizona for the year ending December 3l, 1910, at 292, 700, 900 pounds, as compared with 291, I10, ,29S pounds in 1909. During the year Montana, Arizona's nearest rival, produced 2S5, 100000 pounds, as con- pared with 314, ,S45, ,29I pounds for 1909. Owing to the curtailment of produc- tion by the big companies the produc- tion of copper has been at a standstill,
 although Nevada came into the game with a production in excess of 1OO,- 000,000 pounds. Arizona will receive the benefit of the production from a number of mines that have been under development the past several years and are now in shape to make an out put of metal, the Miami Con. and the Ray Con-, having been fully equipped and said to have ore reserves of more than 100, 900, 900 tons. There is little doubt that Arizona will now maintain its lead in copper production for all time, as year by year new mines are
 being brought in, and yet the territory has not been exploited to the extent of one per cent of it's copper bearing ground. With the new year comes the report that many of the red metal mines will be brought under one great management, as was the steel production a few years ago. Morgan stands at the head of this great com bine, which appears to give some au- thority for the announcement. By the combining of the big properties a more stable market can be maintained and the price of copper is sure to go to at least 15c, where profits can be realized from many of the low grade deposits.

Mohavs County,s Great Zinc Mine.

Mohave county last year produced practically all the zinc ore sent from the territory to the eastern smelters, the bulk of it going from the Golconda mine, owned by the Union Basin Min ing company, of which corporation John Boyle, jr., is the general mana ger. The shipments for the year ending December 31, 1910, amounted to PAP big carloads, averaging 36 tons to the car, making a total production of s. 712 tons of ore, valued at 34S, 4SOS The zinc content of the ore averaged fl per cent making the total zinc con tent of the ores shipped 4,094 tons. Besides the zinc the ores contained silver and gold, besides lead values. In the process obtaining at the smelt- CT the other values are thrown down in the shape of matt in the retorts and are gathered up and shipped to the smelters, the shipper being given the benefit of the saving obtained in this manner. The Golconda mine is situat- ed in the Union Basin, but the corpora tion is the owner of property in Todd Basin, to the north of Union. The company has been operating the prop erty several years and has pald for all the improvements on the mine and disbursed dividends of about 70,O00S to the shareholders. The management has grouped together some of the best properties in that section and when properly developed will have one of the best paying proposition in the ter ritory. Drifts have been run, tunnels and crosscuts driven, shafts sunk to a depth of 300 feet and the mine above that level thoroughly exploited. It has been estimated that more than l., 5OO,OOOS worth of zinc ore is now broken in the stopes above the 300 level, which will give some indication of the great value of the property. In the floor of the 300 level the best ore opened in the mine was found, but owing to the influx of water that part of the property could not be further exploited until the present time, the long tunnel from the Prosperity hay ing drained of the surplus water.
 A milling plant, capable of handling about 50 tons of ore daily is in opera tion on the mine and from this plant the greater part of the shipments are now being made, the ore coming largely from the big dumps. A new system has been put in effect in the mine, which is said to be working we'll, and that is the mining of the ore on ton mage basis. The men have to clean the ore to run above a certain per centage and on that basis they are paid for the mining, the lower grades going into the stopes, whence it will later be drawn and milled. The work men are making good money under this system and the management is effecting a good saving in the curtail- ment of mining expense.

In the sale of the Cleopatra group of mines to one of the big copper cor porations thls county will be greatly benefited, as well as the owners of the property. It is understood that the payments will fall due within the next six months and that the company in the mean time will have to begin active operations. Charles E. Price, one of the original owners of the mines, is to get large block of stock in the company, while J.W. Morgan, Jack Barnes and E. F.. Thompson are to get cash payments. Should the mine prove up with future develop ment as the surface showing warrants Mir. Price will become a millionaire from his holdings. The mines are situated a short distance south of Gen. tennial Wash, south of the old Me Cracken mines, in this county, and have been operated by the owners in a small way the past fifteen years. The ore gives a rather good average value in copper and carries some gold. The vein lies in lime and covers a wide area of ground.
 Work on the Music mountain mines is going steadily ahead and it will be but short time until the new mill will be in commission. The properties are certainly excellent gold bearing veins and only need a small amount of development to put them in the pro- ducing list. The ore is free milling and the average values will range about 25S to the ton.
 Will Carleton came up from the Chemehuevis mountains, where he and others have been mining and operating the little Blakely mill. He reports that owing to the cold weather in that section they were unable to operate the mill to advantage. They brought in with them a cleanup of the plates, which netted tidy little sum.
 W. W. Elliott, of Prescott, who has charge of the erection of the Gold Grown mill, arrived a few days ago from Prescott and has gone out to the camp near Union Pass. The mill will soon be in commission, only a few more details having to be worked out. The plant will be one of the most con- pact and complete mills in the county.
