Mines of the County

Thomas Steinburg is completing his assessment work on the mines south of town and has very nice showing of gold ore in one of the shafts. The vein is about three feet wide and car ries values up to sos in gold.
 w. k. Frost, Walter Myers and Harry Menaify are sacklng up the rich ore at their recent gold discovery and packing it to the mill on the Last Chance mine, where it will be milled. Samples taken from the sacked ore are said to run very high in gold. The owners expect to make a big cleanup from thelr first run of ore. At other points on the vein good ore has been found and it IS the impression that the mine will turn out to be bonanza.
 Report has It that the Ruth mine has been satisfactorily financed and that work of opening the property on the lower level will soon be under way. It is the opinion of good mining men that the Ruth will make a big mine, only needing the necessary work to open the ore bodies known to exist there. With the opening of the Moss as an auxiliary to the Ruth that camp should be one of the best in the San Francisco district. E. B. VanDeman, who has been managing the mines the past year went east the first of the week to arrange the finances of the company.
 Charles Grimes, president, and $. s. Jones, superintendent of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company, came in from that property yesterday, bring ing with them the cleanup for the past month, which weighed S6,0O0S. This is rather good cleanup for short month and the difficulty experienced in keeping the plant in operation dur ing the cold weather of the first part of the month. The company expect to make big cleanup this month, un- less cold weather intervenes. The property is said to be looking ex- ceptionally well and big reserves are constantly being added.
 Thomas B. Scott, owner of the Lucky Boy group of mines, is looking over the property at Chloride. The Brighter Days mines, of the group, is Just now under development, drift ing being carried on the 200 level The property is in good shape, and it is the intention of the owner to con. tnue the work to a successful termi. nation. The mines lie to the north of the Samoan group, which is soon to be opened at depth by l400 foot tunnel. The tunnel will also strike close to the 600 level of the Lucky Boy group. These mines have been good pro- ducers of gold, silver and lead ore.
 This week w. D. Grannis and Pete Noli came up from the mines at the lower end of Deluge Wash, where they have been working on the old San Antonio claim, one of the old pro. ducers of that section. They report that the adit drift IS still in ore of an exceptionally good grade. Samples from this ore body have run high in gold. silver and lead. Mr. Grannis ex- poets to do large amount of work on the mines this year, getting them in shape for big output as soon as road conditions are made possible for ship. ments to the smelters.
 Last week Friday Frank c. Earle. one of the best known mining engi- neers of the southwest, passed away at his home in Fl Paso, after short ill- ness. Mr. Earle had not been ailing and his death came as a great surprise to his thousands of friends. For years he had been ore purchasing agent of the American Smelling X Refining company and during that time had visited every mining camp in the southwestern part of the United States and Mexico. He was well known to all the miners and mining men of this part of the state.
