Big Power Franchise.

Last Monday afternoon the board of
supervisors granted a franchise to
the Tracy Engineering Company for
the conveying of electricity from a
point on the Colorado river to various
points in Mohave county, and especial
ly to the McCracken mines. From
this application for franchise we are
to deduce the building of an immense
dam on the Colorado river and the
generation of many thousands of horse
power. Under the benign influence
of this cheap power the old McCrack-
en- mine, one of the greatest low grade
properties in the territory, will be re-
vfved and made an immense producer
of gold, silver ant lead. The big gen
orator will also contribute largely to
the successful operation of many of
the low grade properties in the San
Francisco district, and make it posi-
BILE to pump the necessary supply of
water for all milling purposes from
the Colorado river.
H. n. Tracy departed to San Fran
cisco last Monday evening, where he
and associates will work out the de-
tails of the big installation.

A Tuscon dispatch says:-For use
in constructing one of the most unique
pieces of railroad engineering i'll the
west in the shape of a bridge above a
bridge which latter bridge in turn
spans a small river. The Ely Con-
struction Company has just purchased
in Tucson a carload of 2 by l6 lumber
to be used for making concrete forms.
This is the largest single order for
lumber in straight pieces ever placed
in Tucson, it is stated.
The lumber is to unloaded at Vail,
near which the bridge is to be built.
The Ell Paso and Southwestern con-
tractors will construct a bridge 80 feet
in the clear above the present South
ern Pacific bridge, which in turn is
between 80 and 40 feet above the wat
ers of the Pantano- Cienga. This will
be the point where the Southwestern
crosses the Southern Pacific right of
way.

Negotiations are just being conclud-
ed by which owners of the Vekol mine
in the Florence district are to take
over the Lake Shore and Silver Reef
mines in the same district. 1t is also
understood that the Vekol mine is TO
be abandoned. In connection with the
operation of the Lake Shore and Sill

of the Big Sandy, has jumped the
Quartz King group of mines, near

Mines of the County

The Kay boys are doing the annual
work on the J. F. T. and Alone mines
in the Cerbat section.
J. d. Jordan is out during assess
ment work on his mining properties in
the Union Pass section. He has some
good property and some day will no
doubt realize a neat sum from them.
NJ. A. Burke, who owns a group of
mines at Stockton Hill, has just COM
pleted the assessment work and at a
depth of 60 feet in one of the veins
opened up body of ore that gave high
results in gold and silver. Some Of
the veins also carry high values in
lead.
Mike Burke is driving the adit drift
on the New York and Manhattan
claims at Stockton Hill for Smith &
Sawyer, employing one man. The
drift is now in about 26O feet and is
entering the ore zone below the old
works. The ore throughout the prop
erty carries an average value of about
two ounces gold to the ton.
+. p. Powell, who has a lease and
bond on the Iowa group of mines, near
the Tom Reed, has removed a large
gasoline holster from Gold Basin to
install on the properties, the plant
passing through kingman last Mon
day. A force of men have been busily
employed getting the camp in shape
and laying the mile of pipe line that is
to supply the camp with water.
John Boyle, Jr., general manager of
the Union Basin Mining company,
operating the Golconda group of mines,
the only zinc properties IN Arizona, re-
turned from a business trip TO St. Louis
last Saturday. Mr.. Boyle has been
getting the mines of his company in
shape to become the largest ore ship
pers in this part of Arizona and can
now turn out big monthly tonnage.
A P. Anderson, field engineer of
the o. S. Smelling company, has been
looking over the properties of the
company in this county this week, in
company of D. R. Muir, general man.
ager of the Needles Mining and Smelt-
ing company, an auxiliary of the big
corporation. The o. S. Smelling COM
pany is getting into Mohave county in
a big way and will soon be one of the
largest producers in the territory.
Peter Gallery, one of the old owners
and now a large stakeholder in the
Alpha mine, came in from that prop
erty last Monday. He reports that
the breast of the lower adit drift is
now in very high grade ore. Although
the ore body has not yet become uni
form throughout the drift, it would
appear as though the floor of the drift
was on top of big ore body. Some OF
the ore gave results of 600 ounces sill.
yer, nearly two ounces gold and nine
teen per cent copper. Some kidneys
of ore ran as high as 1000 ounces sill
yer.
Charles Metcalfe, owner of the
Great Eastern group of mines in the
Wallapai mountains. went out to the
properties last Sunday. He is putting
a force of men to work on the mines
to do the annual work. One of the
veins, known to old timers as the
Wheeler vein, is one of the largest
mineralized veins In the Wallapais and
carries exceptionally good values in
gold, silver and lead. Concentrates
of the ore would find ready market at
the smelter at a premium.
