Mines of the County

dih. HIS lulnc IS Sdlu tO nave d splendid showing of ore in sight and the new owners are prepared to make good by shipping large tonnage.
 H. E. Strawbell is in Kingman, hay ing completed the assessment work on his Mendocina group of mines, at Layne Springs. He states that he has opened up great body of heavy sul- phide ore, which is of shippable grade. The vein is very large one and contains some excellent ore bodies.
 With the completion of the railroad to the Tennessee and Rainbow mines these properties will begin turning loose big daily tonnage of ore. The mines have similar ores and the values sent out will add materially to the pro- duction of the county this year. Dur ing the past year the tonnage of lead Tn Arizona fell off and it remains for Mohave county to make up the deficit in that metal this year.
 Thursday last the plant of the Primos Chemical company, operating at Clifton Station, Pa., was totally de- stroyed by fire. This company has been the purchaser of all tungsten ores produced in Arizona. It is probable that the plant will be restored within a month or more and that the pnr- chase of ores will not be interfered with.
 The last load of freight for the Me- vada. Arizona Gold Mines Company was loaded at Antarez this morning and went out to the mines. Three carloads of heavy machinery have so far been forwarded to the mines and will soon be put in place In the mill building. Several of the directors of the company are expected here about the first of September and the future operations of the property will then be mapped out. The company own excellent mining property in the Music Mountain section and have done a large amount of work in developing
 Ed Williams was a visitor in King. man last Saturday ant Sunday, coming up from his tungsten mines in the Aquarius range. During the past year he has done large amount of work hn onl hoc tonnage of good milling ore in sight The mines can easily he reached by the building of short piece of wagon road from the Sandy. and an excellent millsite may be had on the stream, where wood and water is plentiful The ore, when assorted, has been the richest ever taken from mine in the state.
 George F. Powell, who is heavily interested in Fl Tigre mines. at Posa, Sonora, Mexico, is making an exami- nation of property in the Gold Road section. MT. Powell has been a resi- dent of Mexico for some time and talks interestingly of that country and especially the incidents connected with the revolutions of recent years. It is to be hoped that he will become interested financially in the mines of this county, where revolutions are un- known and the mines are the richest in the world.
 Frank Dudek, who was one of the original locators of the tungsten mines. twelve miles east of Yucca, has just sold his interests to his partner, Joseph Pavlista. The mines will be developed by the owners just as fast as possible, it being the intention to drive the adit drift far under the mountain on the vein. The showing in the openings above is good and the probabilities are that great bodies of the metal will be found at depth. Mr. Dudek will go to Los Angeles. where he will rest up for month or more and will then go on a prospecting trip through the desert.
 The Gold Road Mines company has ordered two gasoline trucks for freighting between Kingman and Gold Road. As soon as these trucks arrive the company propose doing all it's own hauling. It is understood that the company will also put in its own com ,,,;SSary StOre at the mineS Tho ooro
