Telegraph Wires Down For Short
Time--laborers Leaving
The Country

Bottineau county and North

real snow storm of the season
on Monday afternoon and even
ing. All main line trains from

e e h t O'Clock. Telephone
wires in many parts of the
state were down for short
time cutting off communica-
tions from the outside world.
The George Warner greenhouse
at Minot was smashed in by the
weight of the snow, causing a
$1O,OOO damage. Threshing
operations are at stand still in
this county and nearly all the
transient help has gone or is
hiking for greener fields.

been manured will produce
considerably more than un.
manured land. Growing crops

 This morning E. H. Barton, genera
 manager of the Frisco Mines and
 Power company, brought in the bi-
 weekly bar of bullion from the mill
 The bar will weigh about 7,OO0$. The
 mill is now doing nice work and the result is proving the mine to be win. ner.
 s R. Porter has been out to the Le. land group, near Vivian, which he is developing with large force of men. He is quite Jubilant over the prospects of opening up one of the greatest mines in that section, the present showing being far beyond the expecta. tions of the stockholders of the con- pany. With the driving of the shaft to greater depth it is expected that he present ore bodies will show still greater improve ment, if that were pos- sible. Some of the ore on the deep level is the richest ore in the district while the general run is above 7OS to the ton. This shows the full width of the drift and is continuous along the level.
 M. w. Musgrove returned last Thursday evening from New York, where he put up big power scheme to syndicate of moneyed men interest ed in big things. He says that repre-. sentatives Of these men will soon be on the ground and that one of the big gest power projects ever installed in the west will take shape within the next few months. The power is to he created by dam in the Colorado river at point north of KiDgman. Just where the Colorado river de. bounces from the Grand Canyon. The Westinghouse people will probably finance the scheme. and Frank Gull bertson, the well known mining en. gineer, will be consulting engineer for the project. The installation of this great power plant would be of great benefit to all sections of this county, as it would result in the re- duction of power to the users to a minimum.
 w. F. Garrison and Dr.. Ward. of Pasadena, passed through Kingman yesterday on their way to Chloride. where they will inspect the work on the Hercules and Badger claims. Dr.. Ward was elected Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight at the recent session of the Elks Grand Lodge, at Portland, and has been receiving the conyratu lations of his host of friends since his return to the southern city. Mr. Gar. rlson, who has been looking after the hnancial end of the affairs of tn in- ing company operating the Hercules and Badger claims, is we'll pleased with the outlook and expects to bring in strong winner this fall. The op. eratlng company is the California Me- vada Development company, the prin- clpal office being in Pasadena. One of the peculiar things in mining in this county is that practically all of the successful mining companies have had their home office in Pasadena.

w. D. McCright, owner of part of the old McCracken property, IS in Kingman, coming in from his home at Signal for the purpose of straighten. ing out deal covering a sale of that property. Mr. McCright has been a resident of Signal since the palmy days of the old McCracken company and has held on to his property through all the years since the prop erty was closed down from active work. He is firm in the belief that it is the greatest mine in Arizona.
 Fred Brawn, who has been with the Tom Reed Gold Mines company the past year, is visiting in Kingman where he has property interests. He reports that mining in the Tom Reed section is on the boom and that this fall and winter gives great promise to owners of mining property as we'll as prospectors. The field has not been thoroughly prospected, many sections being almost entirely neglected. With the cooler weather it is his be- lief that many prospectors from all over the coast will flock in to get something in that rich section.
 The other day w. c. Fellows, so we'll known in this county, was in Salt Lake City having tried out concen- tration tests on ores from the Ben Harrison mine, near Baker City, Oregon, of which property he has charge. It is his intention to pur- chase large mill and install it on the mine. He reports that he has opened up great bodies of antimonal silver ore, carrying values in gold, which will have to be concentrated. Mr. Fellows went up to the Ben Harrison from this county, and D. s. Richards of Kngman is one of the shareholders in the corporation operating the prop erty. Recently large part of the machinery from the Victor Gold Mines propertywas shipped to the Ben Harrison for the purpose of making the initial installation of milling ma chinery. The company is the same as that operating the Victor Gold mines in the Tom Reed section.

McCracken Mines Under Bond.

J. H. Hoffman, of Pueblo, c. L. Davidson and Throck Davidson, of
 Wichita, Kansas, have been in King. man the past several days completing arrangements for the taking over of the McCracken mines and arranging for the early operation of these prop critics. J. H. Hoffman has had the deal in hand the past six months and has secured the options on the inter- ests of Silverberg and others in San Francisco. and yesterday the taking of options on the McCright and Smith interests was completed.
 Everybody interested in mining in Arizona, and for tbat matter on the Pacific coast, are familiar with the old McCracken mine, and of the fact that it has produced many millions of dol lars from the grassroots to a depth of not more than 100 feet, and that it is still one of the greatest mines in the state. The property has strong re- sem blance to the Bunker Hill and Sul- livan mines, at Wardner, Idaho, the values being carried in silver and lead. Some of the oxidized ores run away up in the hundreds of ounces to the ton in silver, but carry little lead. The other ores carry big values in lead and silver, In some of tho new open ings, made few years ago by the Western Development company, gold ore of good values is said to have been cut. but nothing definite is known of the tonnage opened up. The people in charge of the mines at the time are authority for the statement that the mines contained ore to the value of 450, ,000S in sight, net, is being agreed that fully that amount would be neces sary to equip the mlne and extract the values, which would indicate that there was in sight more than one mil lion dollars gross. The mine is open ed by shaft to depth of 400 feet, although the ore bearing part of the vein has not been opened at that depth.
