Mohave County miner., 1911-02-18

Fred BrawD and Fred Coolidge have taken a bond on the Nighthawk mine and will go out to that property in a few days to begin work. They are in hopes of running into a big body of rich ore, of which that old property has been a producer.
 James McNeece, one of the owners of the Gold Cross mines, at Cedar, who has been visiting in Kingman the past week, departed to the Gold Grown mines Thursday, where he will visit with T. s. O'Brien for a few days. Messrs. McNeece and O'Brien are old mining partners, having interests in Colorado.
 Bernhardt Anderson, deputy U. s. Marshall, came up from Phenix last Saturday and summoned a number of jurors, besides serving subpoenas on witnesses that have to appear before the U. $. Court at Prescott, next Mon day. Many of the cases that are to come before the court have grown out of the sales of liquor to Indians, but other and more important cases are coming up.
 F. A. Wilde, of Milwaukee, presi- dent of the Desert Power & Water company of this place, is visiting the plant. It is understood that Mr. Wilde will remain here until after the new unit has been put in commission, which will probably be sometime next week. The plant is now one of the best in the territory and will soon have its lines reaching out to all parts of the county.
 George Aitken, who is managing his own mines at Music Mountain, which are now held under lease and bond by F. T. Powell, is in Kingman for the purpose of employing miners to go to ing established his camp at the mines and made everything comfortable for any force of men that may be employed there. The mines have been opened to some extent and the showing of ore is said to be excellent.
 J. F. Withers, who has been in Cal ifornia fixing up home for his family, returned to Kingman Thursday last and will look after his mining interests. MT. Withers IS one of the owners in the mint mine, at Layne Springs, and the Jackman mines near Round Val ley. He believes he has some splen- did property and expects soon to have them on a shipping basis. At the Mint the recent work has opened a nice body of rich silver gold ore, upon which George Klemp is now working. It is expected that another shift will be put on the mine and the drift driv- en on the vein some distance. The surface ores of the Mint were rich in gold and silver.
 It is possible that the business men of Kingman have overlooked the mat ter of good roads from the town of Kingman to the various mining camps that can be reached by wagon road. Nevertheless, the people should take this matter up seriously and have the necessary surveys made and the work of rebuilding the roads inaugurated. Coyote mountain road is really Impas- sible. At the present time the people operating in the Union Pass have been compelled to make a road around by way of McCOnnico to cut out the bad road over the mountain. This new road is longer by four miles than the mountain road, but it is easier to negotiate. Now, the people living at Cerbat and other points along the range have to use the bad road over the mountain or go somewhere else for their supplies. The old bridge at the top of the mountain can be rebuilt or new bridge thrown across the deep canyon and make the road an ideal one, and at cost of about one thousand dollars. Let the survey and estimate be made and then let the people of the town act in conjunction with the board of supervisors and have a good road built over the pass.
