Mines of the County

county, Nevada. He was in the vici. nity of Rochester in the late sixties, but no one thought the big rdlkes of thot new gold camp contained mineral.
 Ed. Williams came in from his mines near Oak Springs, few days ago, and purchased large amount of camp supplies. He reports that he is getting things in shape to begin the work of erecting his mill to handle the ores from the tungsten mines. These mines have been developed to a stage where large tonnage of mill ore can be produced. The concentrates from the mine have averaged about 70 per cent tungstic acid.
 Edward Edholm, who has been working with Walter Burkhart on the Yellow Jacket mine, in Aubrey dis. trict, is in Kingman to take in the 4th of July with the Elks. He reports that the work Of deepening the shaft and drifting at the POO is under way. The mine is under bond to Messrs Davidson and Theis, of Wlchita Kansas. The ore body has been show ing considerable improvement below the old level, the grade of ore being good and the vein widening consider ably.
 R. M. Stene. of Yucca, who is inter- ested in mining in the Esther Basin section of southern Mohave county, was a kingman visitor yesterday. Mir. Stene has mapped the south part of the county and pointed the way to important development. In Esther basin well has been sunk to water, which opens that section to the pros- pector as well as the mine owner. A company was recently organized to work the old Esther group of mines, lying some distance east of the Cleo, patra. This group carries values in gold and copper. some of the ore being quite rich
 This week w. w. Gates struck water in the well he has been drilling for George and Carrow. The water was encountered at a depth of seventy feet and apparently has large body. Owing to the breaking of the jars work had to be discontinued tempor- arily. The well is situated in an ex- cellent part of the country, it being the intention of George X Carrow to extend their cattle ranch in that sec- ton. The fact that water is obtain. able at shallow depth will cause many other wells to be drilled to SUD- ply water for orchards and other pur- poses. The country is well adapted to fruit culture, apples growing to per lection all along the north part of the Wallapai mountains.
 This week C. l.. Davidson and wife, Throck Davidson, George and Ger Thels. w. B. Throckmorton returned in their big locomobile car from Cop perville. where they had been looking over mining property in which they are interested. While at Copperville the annual election of directors of the Arizona Southwestern Copper Co., took place, the old board being returned. The party went east Monday morning. This party will take look at the Grand Canyon, gong in by way of Williams and along the rim to the Flagstaff road and into the county seat of Coconno county. whence they will go east by way of St. Michael and Gallup. They expect to return to this county within the next few months to look after their interests. Mr. Davidson believes this county to be one of the best in the state, from a mineral standpoint.
 Sinking is to be commenced on the shaft of the Lucknow mine, of the Nevada Arizona Mines company, at Music Mountain, it being the intention of the company to try to get enough water in the mine, instead of bringing it from long distance. Owing to the unusually long period of drought that section of the country is suffering from lack of water, and it is possible that a supply will have to be provided by the opening of the mines at depth. The mill is well along toward con- pletiOn and sufficient water supply
