Mines of the County

Jack Hart came in from Cerbat a few days ago to lay in supplies for his camp. He is of the opinion that work will soon be under way Tn a number of Cerbat's properties.
 w. H. Smith has gone to Los Angel es, where he will look after important mining business. He is interested in several good sized groups of mines in this county and expects to have them under development shortly.
 The showing of ore in the Chester mine, at Chloride, is said to be excel. lent Recent shipments from the mine have netted big returns, the ore hay ing run we'll over lO0$ In value in silver and lead. Work below the tunnel level has opened a splendid body of rich sil- yer ore, while in the old openings are many hundreds of tons that will pay handsomely to mill.
 The first bar of bullion was this week shipped to the mint from the property of the Davis brothers. on Burro Creek While the bar was not large it is an indication of what may be done In the way of extracting values from the ores of that region. Burro Creek has many veins that carry good values in gold and are ex- cellently situated for economical min- ing and milling.
 C. l.. Davidson returned from Los Angeles last Tuesday and went out to the Yellow Jacket mine in company of R. c. Jacobson. The shaft on the property han been sunk to depth of l50 feet, where crosscutting is now in progress. When the vein is picked up at that depth drift will be run along it for some distance and further sink ing will then be resumed. Mr. David son departed east Wednesday, but ex. poets to return within the next month.
 Chris VOght was in from his mining properties in the Wauba Yuma dis trict few days ago. He reports that the work now being done on the mines is showing up some excellent ore. Samples taken from the vein ran as high as ten dollars in gold and silver and P per cent copper, while an aver age of five feet gave results of better than seven per cent copper and about ten dollars gold and silver. The vein is very large and well situated for working.
 Frank O'Dea was in from Todd Basin few days ago getting supplies for the Horseshoe camp, at Cerbat, which is to be revived at once. la doing the assessment work on the mines last fall Mr. O'Dea ran across some very good ore and it was hls be- lief that more work would lead to something good. He is to put force of men to work on the mines at once and we hope that he will bring in new producer.
 Work on the old Savanic mine, in the north part of the county, is said to be developing up big shipper of cop per ore. The mine is situated in this county some twenty miles south of St. George, in what is known as Hidden Springs canyon, canyon extending from the Grand Wash. With this property shipping high grade copper and the big shipments from the Grand Gulch mines Northern Mohave county will make a good showing this year as a copper producer.
 Tom Robinson came up from the south part of the county a few days ago. He reports that the company re- gently organized by R. M Stene and brother has been doing considerable work in the Potts Mountain and Esther Basin section south of Me Cracken, and has good showing of ore. A well was sunk to depth of l20 feet and considerable water en- countered, Heretofore water was only to be had from Potts Tanks and Hieroglyphic tanks, and this supply has about disappeared.
 The compressor has been installed at the Copper Giant mine and the first machine round of holes was put in Thursday. The new plant is working
