Mines of the County

Al Soo NV"i VI uoShidSiS oSihS hauled to the Frisco mine to be in- stalled in the mill. When all ad ditions have been made this property will be among the big gold producers of Arizona.
 P. w. Roberts and H. R. Collins, Of Pasadena, are in Kingman on their way to the mines of the Arizona Ven ture corporation, near the old Diamond Joe. Mr. Collins is chemist and will have charge of the laboratory work, as we'll as the erection of a plant at the mine.
 The drill on the property of the Kingman Copper company, at Mineral Park, has reached a depth below 300 feet, where the striking of copper sul- phide was expected daily. Other holes that were sunk 32O feet entered the copper zone in the sulphldes. The general impression is that great copper belt will finally be opened in that section.
 D. R. Muir came in from Goldroad Thursday evening and departed to Needles to look after the operation of the shelter. Several hundred tons of ore is now going forward from the Tennessee and other mines daily and this is being either miled or smelted The Tennessee is now in splendid body of heavy lead ore that can be put through the shelter without the usual dressing up required by the other ores. The Rainbow Mountain mine is also sending out good tonnage of ore to this smeltery
 George Hansen has just returned from a trip into the east side of Wal lapai mountains and from him we learn that Tom Sckles is opening up one of the richest ore bodies ever found in that country. Specimans of the ore are laced together with gold and are very beautiful. Mr. Sickles has done considerable work on the property and the showing made is wonderful. The usual run of ore in the Wallapais is silver and it is unusual to ind gold ex- cept in combination with silver values In the old Overland the gold and silver were in combination, and while the Values were great in gold, silver value prsdominated.
 The New Jersey concentrator is about ready to go into commission. It is un- derstood that some of the owners in the property want large plant erect ed on the mine, but that Mingle inter- ests believe that the installation of a small plant will fill the bill for the present. While the New Jersey is splendid looking property it still has not been opened to an extent that would warrant the mourning of a big debt for mill. With small plant the mine can be brought up to a high state of development and the future work will predicate the necessity for future heavy machinery.
 Many of the old timers in this county and elsewhere will remember Dan. O'Leary a scout under the federal forces in the southwest in the late sixties. O'Leary was prospect or as well as scout and made many trips into the mountains of this county in search for gold. After the finding of the old Moss mine, at Silver Creek, O'Leary and Johnny Moss put in many months searching for vein whence came very rich float in what is now Moss Wash, in the Wallapai moun- tains. While going from old Fort Mo- have to Prescott. Moss found the float, but was unable to locate the vein. It is now understood that the same ore is being found in vein recently located in Moss Wash by Tom Sckes. After hunting in vain for this treasure, Moss and O'Leary went into the Aquarius mountains, toward the Santa Maria del Bac grant and there discovered cave in the mountains that was a fairy land of glistening coors formed by copper. The cave was in lime for. nation and was quite large. No such cave has been found by other white men, so far as we know. Both men are dead and it may be that this cave
