FINAL PAYMENT MADE ON GOLD
 GROWN
(Mohave County Miner)

1ulS Wteh JdlutS A. hODerJS ar rived from New York city and made the final payment on account of the purchase of the Gold Crown group of mines, the amount being estimated at $65,0OO. O. D. M. Gaddis and the Sauls estate were the sellers, the money being divided evenly between them. The mines have been under operation the past two years by the Frisco Mines and Power company, the property being equipped with a big milling plant and the mines exploited to a considerable extent. Nearly a million tons of SIP ore has been blocked out and a method of treat ment evolved that gives a high say ing of values.
 Now that the company is the sole owner of the property it is probable that a great milling plant will be put in capable of working 800 or more tons of ore daily. The recent pur- chase of the Burns ranch makes it possible to get all the water that is necessary for a big mill. That the mine is capable of furnishing the ore is certain, but the big mill is neees- sary to make the proposition one of the big mines of the country.
 F. T. Powell, who recently obtained an option on the Iowa group of mines from Frank L. Hunt and others, is getting hoisting plant for the prop erty and will have it in commission within the next ten days. He is also making camp at the mines and will have every convenience. A pipe line about a mile in length will convey water to the camp. A large amount of sulphides have already gone out and more is to follow shortly. A force of men will soon be at work the main shaft and devel- oping the property below the present depth. The mine has great pOssibili- ties and is in one of the best mineral ized sections of San Francisco dis triet.
 The drift from the bottom of the 7OO-fOOt shaft of the Tennessee mine, under the operation of the Needles Mining & Smelling company, is fast the point where the old ore shoot is expected to be penetrated. Some exceptionally rich bodies of
 lead ore have already been cut, but it is thought that a regular shoot will be found under the old workings. On the 600 level. the miners that worked there claim a great ore body was opened, the floor of that drift being entirely of ore. So it is to expect big ore body 'n the 700 below that point.
 Governor John Lind came in from San Francisco last Tuesday night and departed the following morning to the Hercules camp, where he will visit a 'ew days with General Manager A. ". Bratlund of that property. Gov ,rnor Lind is interested in the Her
 ules and other mining property in hat neighbOrhood. It is probable hat he will soon visit this county
 gain and look into its possibility or large investment. The people of his county would be more than pleas d to have a man of the capability nd sterling honesty of Governor lind to settle down among them and end a helping hand in the reelama- ion of the vast tracts of rich land. CT interests of his Denver associates t Gold Road, was a Kingman visitor his week. He has made an examin- tiOn of the Dudek tungsten mines, ituated twelve miles east of Yucca, nd it is probable that development TOrk will soon be under way on the roperties. The mines have a fine hOwing of ore in all the openings, Ir. Dudek and partners having done
 large amount of work that shows up ne prospective value of the property , advantage.
 W. H. Hall, who owns valuable lining property in the Weaver dis ,iet, arrived from Los Angeles a sw days ago and went on to Chloride. IT. Hall states that the people that gently took over the Woody mines ill begin active development of the ,operty shortly. The mines showed lmense values in gold on the sur lee and produced some of the heavi- t gold ever found in that section.
