Mines of the County

and the showing of ore is said to be great. At all points ore has been cut the value continues good.
 The Ruth mine is still showing great improvement in the west shaft and the drift from the bottom of the old shaft. The ore body appears to be widening in both places and in the drift the value of the ore is improving greatly.
 Henry Pauley, of Gold Basin, owner of rich mining property in that district, was Kingman visitor this week. MT. Pauly believes the Gold Basin section of this county will prove itself the richest part of the county under more favorable conditions.
 J. L. Williams, who a month or more ago made examinations of power conditions along the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon, arrived from Los Angeles Thursday last and has gone to the Big Bend of the Colo rado river, where he has located placer ground.
 F. P. Andreas has a small force of men at work on the Gold Eagle mines. at Mineral Park, making an upraise from the 3d to the 2nd level. He re- ports the ground looking good and that when the connection is made and better air conditions obtained cJnsid- erable work will be done on the 3d level.
 The Tom Reed Gold Mines company thls week received additional electric al equipment for its milling plant which will be hauled out to Oatman right away. It is evidently the in- tention of the company to get every thing in readiness for the putting in commission of the other twenty stamps, that is to give the mine an output of more than 100. OOOs monthly.
 O. F. Kuencer, who was here this week on business connected with the Golden Gem M. & M. company, ex- pressed great surprise with the rapid change that is taking place in business conditions of the county during the past few months. It is his belief that this county will be one of the greatest producers of mineral of any of the counties of the territory within the next few years, and especially along the lines of gold production.
 Emerson Gee has returned from Mex | ico and is looking after the interests | of himself and associates in the Gold Trall mines, near Little Meadows. He reports that the drift being run to tap the big vein of the group it esti- mated to be within fourteen feet of a | connection and that within few days the vein will be tapped. The drift has been run on a small vein that crosses the big one, and along the | whole length a high grade of ore has been encountered.
 The miners working on the Keystone say the property is sure to be a big one. The stopes opened on the l50 | level have splendid ore and two car loads are now at Chloride ready for shipment to the shelter. While there h IS been falling down of the con- pany having the property under option | there are many others waiting for them to get out of the way to allow of the mines being properly financed and worked. Engineers that have made | an examination of the property are of the opinion that it will become a great producer of high grade ore.
 There is a report current in King man that the people operating the CyclOpic mines, in Gold Basin, have encountered the big vein at depth | with the diamond drill and that two shafts have already been planned to tap the ore body. In one of the shafts ore has already been opened at depth far below the break in the vein. The Cyclopic mine is one of the large veins of Gold Basin mining district and the ore values are of a high mil ling grade. The mine has been work ed internationally number of years and the present is the first systematic mining done on the vein. It is to be hoped that the vein will prove up at depth and justify the conditions of the outcrop.
