Mohave County miner., 1913-11-29

sell and Connor, sent in samples taken from along the vein that gave results of l9 per cent copper, ten ounces silver and three dollars gold per ton. The vein is In places twenty feet wide and shows good ore throughout the out crop. A sbaft is being sunk on the vein on the south side of Deluge Wash, where the vein has an outcrop in eX- cess of twenty feet It is probable that considerable work will be done on th's group of mines this winter, the show ing of copper and molybdenite ores en- couraging the owners to an effort to make the mines produce something worth while. Concentrates made from the ores show values in excess of lOOS in value, the values being in copper, silver and gold.
 Last Wednesday morning J. S. Withers and J. c. Potts, of the Mo- have county Board of Supervisors, ac- companied by James s. Parker, of the office of the State Engineer, and John Munds, contractor, went over the new road from Kingman to Topock for the purpose of examining the work and accepting the road on behalf of the county and state. They returned Wednesday night, having made a most successful trip. The supervisors report the road In fine condition and that when the grade from the mesa to the valley at Topock is completed the road will be turned over to the state. This read becomes part of the state highway across northern Arizona, and while it Is being built in part by the county's part of the state road fund it will later be completed from the moneys realized from the sale of the road bonds. The road is to be rolled by the big trucks now run ming between Yucca and Copperville. the Arizona Southwestern Copper company having agreed to make the trip over the grade for that purpose, The road has been built up in good shape, all sandy places having been covered with caliche for a depth of from ten to eighteen inches. This will give an excellent surface, and when rolled with the big auto trucks will become as smooth as floor. The contractors are now working on the road at Topock and it is expected to complete that part of the highway by next week Thursday. It is probable that when this part of the road is con- pleted the contractors will be put to work building the road from Yucca to Kingman. While good grade can be found for this part of the highway the present road is in an abominable condition. By going to the west of the railroad tracks it will be possible to secure a roadway that will be protected in measure by the railroad grade and that the only places that will have to be protected will be at points where the railroad has bridges or culverts. This part of the road is a necessity and it is to be hoped that it will be completed at once. The country out from Yucca is b coming of great importance and much travel will go from this place to the mining districts to the east and south, should good road be built. The best time to lay out and build this road is the present, as should the graders be allowed to go away it would be hard to get them back to
 work on small job.
 Congressman Keltner. of California. stopped off at Needles few days ago and made personal examination into the needs of wagon bridge across the Colorado river at Topock. He was taken over the new highway from Needles to the bridge site and was much impressed with the good work done. In the matter of the bridge the Indian school at Fort Mohave, through it's superintendent, A. F. Duclos, has asked the Indian department to give aid to the bridge project. With a bridge at Topock the Indians would have a market for their produce from the Mohave valley and the school would have easy access to the railroad. At the present time everything has to be ferried to the Arizona side of the
