Mines of the County

H. k. Wood, president of the Tom Reed Extension Gold mines company, has installed hoisting plant anu will begin sinking to the 300 level. The mines have an excellent showing of ore.
 l.. A. Cookery, who has charge of the development of the Pinkham mine, at Chloride, for the Cookery. .Qualey interests, passed through Klngman this week on his way to the mines from a stay of few days in Los Angeles.
 William Neagle, who is here in the interest of the United Verde company. will soon have a force of men at work on the Copper Giant mine, at Wright Creek, east of Hackberry. It is also expected that the surrounding mines will be taken in on this deal.
 J. M Little, who owns mining prop erty on Wright Creek, was King. man visitor several days this week Mr.. Little reports that the mines of J. E. Brown are looking exceptionally well, and that many strngers of rich gold ore have been found in that To- calivy recently.
 Ed. Frankforter, who has been operating his mining claim in the ChemehuevIS mountain, arrived in Kingman few days ago. He reports that mining in that section is looking up and that several companies are working groups of mining claims with good prospects of success.
 Only few men are kept at work on the San Francisco mine, the man. agement awaiting the report of the mining engineer, who recently made a thorough examination of that prop. erty. The company will be able to finance the property when the report is placed in their hands, and it is probable that new shaft will be car ried to the surface, giving better ven tilatlon and lesssning the cost of op eration materially.
 The Gold Ore Mining company, of which A. c. Werden is general mana ger, has begun the sinking of the main shaft to the $50 level. The prop erty lies to the north and parallel with the Gold Road and is said to be one of the most promising veins in that section. An open cut on the surface shows large vein with values running 26$ to the ton. The present shaft is now down l30 feet and this will be continued as fast as pos sible. Shareholders of the mine were here recently from Arkansas and went away well pleased with the outlook for the opening of great property. The recent big strike of rich ore in the Gold Road also impressed the stockholders greatly.
 A man named Stone, giving Yucca as his residence, and another named Stene of Tacoma, Washington, have filed articles of incorporation with the Corporation Commission that is unique in corporation affairs. One of its priv ileges as set out in the article reads as follows: "O To cause or allow the legal title, estate and interest in any property acquired, established or car. ried on by the company to remain or to be vested or registered in the name of or carried on by any ether company or companies, etc., etc." According to Arizona law thls proposition is fraud on It's face and we are surprised that the Corporation Commission should pass this charter. Under this charter shareholders would have no protection and certainly creditors of the concern would have hard time trying to make them stay good.
 Last Monday George Ayers brought in from Gold Road the usual weekly bar of bullion, weighing something over 20,000$. A few weeks ago, It will be remembered, that in mention Ing the shipment of bullion from this property, the MINER stated that a re- port was current that a great strike of gold was made on the 800 level of the mine, but in the Billy Bryan ground, where the drift is over 700 feet below the surface. It IS now generally known that this Strika was
