Splendid Gold Property.

Over in the Brownsville section, |
about FIVE miles south of the Truxton
Canyon Indian school, Lopez &
Carney, and associates, have opened |
splendid gold-copper property. The
vein at depth of "a feet is Al inches
wide, every inch of which is shippable
ore. The men have been working on
the property the past six months and
during that time have taken out
carload of ore that has been dressed
up and ready for shipment to the
smelter. The average of the car is
about l06S gold and three per cent
copper. They have also constructed
an arastra, which they have been
operating on the oxidized ores from
the surface of the claim and have
just shipped to the mint p ounces of
gold. The vein is crossed by the main
travelled wagon road to the camp of
Brownsville and hundreds of people
walked over il in the past few years
without suspecting that in the red
stained bank there was a great mine
of gold and copper. After the diseov-
cry of the property many other claims
were located in the neighborhood and
now there promises to be one of the
big camps of the county opened up
there. Messrs. Lopez and Carney
know the value of their property and
are making all possible effort to get
in proper state of development be-
fore bringing in mining men to see it,
although these men persist in taking
look at the property in its undevel-
oped state.

Great Flood in Colorado River.

This week the Colorado river over
flowed it's banks below Fort Mohave
and the big dixie OF the Cotton Land
company was again broken by the
rush of water. Last Spring tine dixie
was broken above Riverside and many
hundreds of feet of the embankment
melted away. The river this time
broke through the embankment in a
new place and the greater part of the
valley was flooded Just how much
damage was done cannot be ascertain
ed, but as the crops have been gather
ed for the year only the alfalfa will be
injured and that not irreparably. 1t
is said that had it not been for the
breaking of the dixie much damage
whould have resulted at Needles.
The Colorado river rose far above
the great floods of the past ten years,
when the whole Mohave valley was a
vast sea of water. Had it been con-
fined TO a narrow channel il would
surely have gone over the banks at
Needles.

Big Ore in George Washington.

George W. Peck, general manager
Of the George Washington mine. at
Mineral Park, reports that in the
deep workings of the mine he has OPP
ened a great body of exceptionally
rich ore. samples from which have
run as high as l20OS to the ton, the
highest value being in gold. The
vein at that point where the rich ore
has been found is said to be in the
neighborhoCd of six feet wide, we'll
mineralized throughout. There are
two veins in the claim, which have
recently been reached by the deeper
tunnel and the ore bodies in each of
the veins is high grade in gold and
silver. The management is opening
the property in good shape and soon
expects to have a big shipment ready
to send to the smelter. The vein is
supposed to be the west extension Of
the old Lone Star, one of the richest
of the old time properties of Mineral
Park.
Mohave County miner., 1911-10-14

Supt. Masters, who has been oper-
ating the properties of the Treasure
Hill company the past year, has re-
moved the hosting plant to another
vein and is opening up a splendid
showing of gold silver ore. The vein
is said to be very rich in gold, while
the silver Is similar to that found in
the Little Chief. The mine is situated
parallel to the Chief and lies far be-
low it on the south side of the ridge.
1t is to be hoped that the Treasure
Hill people will open up a bonanza, as
they have been consistent in the work
of development and spent every dollar
of the stockholders money in the
work, not a dollar going into the
pockets of the management for sal
aries.

Golden Waters.

That the sands and waters of Ari-
IONA are golden may well be illustrat-
ed by Jim Carter's golden traps below
the Tom Reed mill. Jim had observed
that where depressiOns existed in the
big tailings pits of the Tom Reed the
seepage waters collected and were
evaporated by the hot sun and winds,
leaving a hard crust. This crust was
assayed by HIM and found to be very
rich in gold. As the dumps were on
his ground he proceeded to make stump
holes and dam up the outlets. Then
when the process of evaporation was
we'll under way he took a square
shovel and would skim off the incrus-
tation. Last week he shipped to the
smelter at Needles 200 sacks of this
material, realizing, it is said, zoos per
ton. The crust forms like the crust
that appears on a salt vat and contains
q high percentage of lime and sill
Gates, besides much cyanide that had
been held in solution. 1t is possible
that Mr.. Carter will find some other
way to recover the values than that of
sending to the smelter, as it is possible
TO extract practically all of the gold
by the electric process that is just
now coming into use.

looks as though he would be success
full.
About sixty tons of ore is now being
hauled from Stockton Hill to Berry
Station, whence it Is shipped to Nee
dies. The big tram delivers the ore in
the bins at the foot of the Hill and
the haul is made from that place TO
the railroad in wagons. The ore is
being taken from the Banner mine.
and is said to be a very high grade
smelling product.
The adit drift that is being run on
the Alpha vein is now getting into
the old ore zone and it is expected
that shipping ore will soon be en-
countered. The ore that is now be-
ing taken from the drift is good grade
ore. Three shifts are being worked
on the property and good Roadway
is being made. Some water is now
coming in the breast of the drift, an
indication of the nearness to the
ore body.
G. D. Van Denan, secretary of the
Ruth Mines Company, has gone to

shipping bullion steadily and is now
ready to add to the milling capacity
of the plant. So far the saving of va =
ues in the mill has been very high,

now coming into use.
Thomas Gray, who has been at
work on a fraction mining claim,
near the Silver Legion, on Stockton
Hill, owned by Robert Gray, repor Is
that he has cut solid mineralized
vein more than seven feet and that
there is still no sign of wall. 1t is his
belief that the vein is fully twenty
feet wide aad that practically every
foot of it will pay to mill. The
ground now opened shows consider
able shipping ore, while the balance
is high grade milling stuff. The ore
carries gold, silver, "copper" lead and
zinc, but there are streaks in the vein
that carry high values in gold and
copper that can readily be saved and
shipped to the smelter. 1t is the OF
inion of those that have seen the prop
erty that it is one of the richest in
that great mineral section. The ex-
penditure of small amount of money
in development should make of the
property great shipper.
J. W. Cornelius, who has been oper-
atIng the Berkely mill with w. p.
Carr, wasin Kingman the first of the
week and reports that they have tried
out many of the ores of the district
with varying success. The concen-
trates that were made from the molyb-
denite mines show high values in
copper, but nothing could be done by
the wet process with the molybdenite,
which was sloughed off with the gan
que. Trials will be made To make a
separation of the mOlybdenite from
the gangue by some other process
and if successful will be used in oper-
ating the big mines carrying the
mineral in that district.
Berg & Company have been at
work on the old Mocking Bird mine,
Treasure Hill, and were getting into
good ore when the ground caved,
causing them much trouble and loss
of time in catching up the debris.
The ore that was found at the time of
the cave is said to be very rich in
silver, while the streak was about
twelve inches wide. This mine has
been noted for its exceptionally high
grade silver ore, but the bodis have
not been large. 1t is the general op-
inion that when sinking reaches below
the water level more regular ore
bodies will be found.
L. W. johnson came down from
Brownsville, a few days ago, and re-
ports that the mines of that section
are looking remarkably we'll. He and
Walter De Liere have been develop
ing their group of mines and have
succeeded in opening up wonderful
showing of copper and gold. The
main vein of the group is very wide
and the breast of the crosscut is in
good shippingvalues. With the prop
er development of the property, is
the belief of Mr.. johnson that they
would have a world-beater.
In drifting to the south from the
old works of the mine formerly
known as the Black & Tan, south of
Stockton Hill, James Dundon has I'M
covered a fine body of silver ore.
This ore lies to the west of the old '63
ore zone and is in exceptionally
favorable ground. Much rich float
rock was found along the course of
the vein in the years gone by but no
one was lucky enough to find the
vein from whence it came, until Mr..

games to his credit. He pitched two
full games against the strong Benton
Harbor team and won both games.
The II. A. A. team is exceedingly for
tunate in having so hard a working
player and also popular in baseball
circles.
Wagner, who was to catch for the
H. A. A, has a good call into another
league and has signed up with the
Clinton, H., team. In his place has
been secured Homer Hudson. who
caught for McMahan last season in the
Northern Indiana league With these
two players as the battery whose past
records show a strong battery and
fielding average, things are promising
good for the Hammond league team.
w. II. Crawley will also be tried out
for backstop. He played last year in
one of the prairie teams. Crawley is
cool headed player and well known
here.
Arrangements have been made to Sc
cure several other new players which
they have in view and if successful in
signing them up the Hammond league
will have a team TO be proud of, and
II Is to be hoped they will be the team
to hoist the flag at the end of the sea-
son.

PROSPECTS FOR HAMMOND'S
BASE BALL TEAM EXCELLENT

On Sunday. March IS. marks the first
real practice and tryout of the II. A. A.
baseball team. and il is expected by
Manager Ketchel that large number
of new players will be present to get
berth on the H. A A. team.
The reason of these early practices is
preparation for some interesting
games which have been booked with
the Cherokee Indians on April %, the
Chicago Grays on April % and the
Chicago Union Giants on April 80
This makes the twenty second base
ball season for the Union Giants and
the other two teams have also a wide
known reputation. These games are
expected to be good tryouts for the
III. A. A. team, and not only that but
1t will be great entertainment for the
Hammond public for those that have
seen the Union Giants play will have
to admit that they are better than any
vaudeville show.

known to Hammond fans, will be in a
Fl. A. A. uniform next Sunday at the IL
