Mines of the County

dent of the Alpha mine, has been ap- pointed superintendent of the Gold Road Mines company and has removed his family to that place. Mr. Brinton is one of the best mine managers in the state and we are pleased to see that his ability is recognized by the big gold mining corporation of this county.
 George Crerar, representing the Tralor Engineering company, of New York, is visiting the county in the in- terest of his firm. The company is the manufacturer of all kinds of mining and milling machinery and it's engi- neers will make plans for the handling of any kind and character of ore. Mir. Crerar was with the Inspiration Cop per company, of Miami, Arizona, for long time and is one of the best known of the young engineers.
 Peter Gallery, who has been at work on his mining property, lying west of the Alpha, reports that he has vein that carries lead, zinc, gold and silver values across width of twenty feet. The showing in the shaft is good, and while only small amount of work has so far been done, it is the expectation that great ore body will eventually be opened up. The vein is situated in one of the best mineralized localities of the Wallapai district.
 Dan Hanley and others, who have a lease on the Banner mine, this week shipped two carloads of ore to the Needles smelter. The ore is said to have high values in lead, the general appraisement being above sixty per cent of that metal and about 40S in gold and silver to the ton. This ore was extracted during the past month by two or three men. The Banner is one of the good mines of the Stockton Hill section and should have large force of men at work on it.
 H. l.. McCarn, general manager of the Rainbow Mountain Mining com pany, was over from Chloride the first of the week. He is awaiting the con- pleton of the branch line from the present termini of the railroad to the bins of the company at the lower end of the tram before extracting more ore from the mines. The mine stopes and all the bins are full of ore and nothing further can be done until the railroad is ready to receive ore eor shipment.
 This week manager E. H. Barton brought in from the Frisco mines a bar of bullion estimated to be worth over COOS the cleanup of two weeks run of the mill. This mine is one of the largest bodies of ore in the county and it is the general impression that with milling plant capable of hand ling 800 tons daily the property would be turning out more bullion than any mine in the San Francisco district. It is estimated that the mine has l2,OOO.- 0O0$ in sight. The vein is from 35 to 65 feet thick.
 T. J. Purdy, president of the Yucca Mining company, departed to his home in Sudbury, Pa., last Thursday even- ing, coming up from the mines near Cedar on the evening train. He has been getting things at the mine in good shape and expects to soon have the ore bodies in shape to produce quite heavily. The San Francisco mine, owned by this company, is one of the best in that section, but the company has not driven the shaft to a depth at which the ore body may be encountered below the faulting. Mr. Purdy has mapped out the fault and it is tine intention to go below the fault plane and cut the vein, while above that point the ore body will be en- countered by crosscut. The work has been going on slowly on account of the caves in the main shaft, but these have been caught up and the work from this time forward will be rapid. The ground is to be proven up by the diamond drill, which will also guard against the possibility of encountering g
