Mines of the County

CounCry, Wnere ne Will meet WlCn mining engineer and make an exami- nation of his mining property at Del uge Wash. The property has been developed to some extent and shows gold, copper, lead and zinc.
 F. T Powell, who has the Iowa and other groups of mines in the Vivian section under option, was Kingman visitor Thursday last, coming in from Los Angeles. The Iowa group under development is said to be showing up wonderfully we'll and the impression prevails that the mines will be among the great producers of the Mohave county gold belt.
 Pierre Schon, of Kansas City, who has been introducing the Saurer trucks, has been looking over the mining country in the south end of the Wall apai mountains. He expects other members of his company to come on from the east and make thorough examination of the mine with a view to taking them over. He is much talk. en with the country and believes it has great future.
 A. w. Bratlund is now the superin- tendent of the Ruth mine, and under his able management that property is sure to make record. The Ruth is one of the big properties of the Silver Creek section that has been systemat ically developed during the past two years. The ore body is showing we'll in the lower openings and it is to be expected that developments at the 800 will bring big results.
 Pat. Folly and M. A. Burke came in from Stockton Hill yesterday, where they have been working on the de la Fountaine mine. They have their shipment of ore ready and have re- paired the road from the summit of the mountain to Berry, whence the ore will be shipped. They report that the winze from the adit level is show ing nice body of ore and that they expect to get out the next shipment in record time. The mine is producing high grade lead and zinc.
 Loviu & Withers company has the contract to haul two carloads of water pipe to oOatman for the, Tom Reed Gold Mines company. The pipe is to be laid between the mill and one of the large springs in the mountains above that property. The same com. pany also has a contract to haul three carloads of supplies to Goldroad for the United States Stores company. These companies have many carloads of supplies on the road and keep a large number of teams regularly em. ployed.
 Some people are crying hard times in Mohave county, but it does not look that way to the knowing ones. This week the Union Basin Mining con- pany was looking for more teams to haul ore from the mines to the railroad. the de la Fountaine was in with an order for teams and the Lovin & With CTS company was looking around for more teams to haul from Kingman to the Goldroad country. Contractor Welch has had scouts out looking up workmen for the railroad and with poor success. No one with or without team need be idle in Mohaye county.
 E. H. Dickie, who is operating min. ing property in the Silver Creek sec tion for Los Angeles and Pasadena associates, was in Kingman a few days ago on his way to the coast. He brought with him samples of vanad- ium ore that is said to run above ten per cent. Other samples brought from the mines run high in gold. The shafts are being carried down on the property and heavy hoisting machinery is to be installed. The finding of vanadium in the gold belt of the county is something unknown, but the assayers have given Mir. Dickie results in that metal.
 MT. and Mrs. c. G. Atlee came in from Los Angeles and San Francisco last Wednesday evening and departed the following morning to their home
