Mohave County miner., 1912-06-15
Mines of the County

 visitors this week, having come in to attend the session of the Superior Court, where they had causes pending. They returned to the mine yesterday. The Towne mine is one of the big properties of the Chloride section.
 The sinking of another POO foot lift on the l. X. L. mine will soon be un- der way. Superintendent Atlee is at the property and will have things in good shape to rush the work. The |. X. l.. company has an excellent prop erty and it should be but short time put of ore.
 An engineers report has just been received by the officers of the Gold Cross company and it is understood that acting on the report the company will provide means to sink the main shaft on the property several hundred feet below the present level. The ores opened up show excellent values and are quite regular.
 Lovin X Withers company's big teams are hauling the machinery and electrical appliances from the Victor mill for shipment from Kingman to the company's property in Oregon. The main part of the milling plant will be allowed to remain at the Vic. tor mine, but the parts that are easy of removal will be taken away.
 The people of Chloride are on the waiting list, the mines being compel led to let out their forces of miners until such time as the Santa Fe ex. tended their trackage to the Tennes- see and Rainbow mines. It is under stood that the railroad will be built just as soon as some of the contractor outfits are free to do the work, which will probably be within the next thirty days.
 Parisia x Mcdonald, who have been working on mining claim showing good gold values, near Chloride, are said to have an excellent showing of ore in the property. The mine is south of the Tuckahoe, in the vicinity of the gold find of over thirty years ago Throughout that section gold fl pat had been found for years, but no vein was ever found. It is probable that these gentlemen are the lucky finders of the lost mine.
 The Gold Berg Mining company has been organized in Utah with James Rooney, presidents; Jasper Hall vice. presidents; J, T. Williams, secretary: and Edward Wilkins, treasurer. The company is the owner of the Gold Berg and other claims in the Squaw Peak section, northwest of White Hills, upon which some of the mem. bers of the company have been operat- ing for the past two years. The main vein of the group has tunnel 100 feet under the mountain and has opened up body of good ore. The values run in copper, gold and silver. It is understood that more activity will be shown in the development hereafter and that milling plant is within the contemplation of the promoters.
 O. B. Stanton, who went to Los An geles on business last week, returned to Kingman a few days ago. Mr. Stanton is getting the Orc Plata mine in the best possible shape and with another lift of 100 feet below the pres ent depth it is probable that fine body of the old time ore will be open- ed up. So far the mine has been proven to be far greater than the old owners ever dreamed, as bodies of ore have been found paralleling the old ore bodies and carrying good values. One of the ore bodies recently cross- cut carries B per cent zinc and some gold, while other ores have been en- countered that run from POS to lOO$ to the ton. The mill turns out about carload of concentrates a week, the value running about l005 in gold
