Mohave County miner., 1913-06-28


 stamps are added the sooner will the rich ore Tn the new ground be reach ed.
 A crosscut on the 250 level of the Silver Hill mines, at Chloride, dis closed body of ore ranging from five to seven feet, the average value of which is said to be in excess of 70S. This mine has been idle the past twenty-five years and the ore was only found on the property by accident. ! Mr. Reeves, who has bond on the property, was the owner of adjoining location and in tracing out his vein ran across an outcrOp of ore on the Valley View claim. He immediately began negotiating for lease and bond and secured it. Since that time he has had force of men at work on the property and has opened up consider able high grade lead ore. The first shipment to the smelter is said to have run close to l00$ per ton. The shaft was sunk within few feet of an old adit drift, no ore having been found at that point, which shows how near a mine owner may be to fortune and miss it.. The shaft has had ore all the way down and the crosscut in the deepest level gives promise of per. ,,1Nnr he pnuvlv licnoun ore bearing part of the mine. The vein is one of the largest in the dis trict and it is probable that many other large shoots of ore will be found within it's limits.
 H. J. West, formerly of Kingman, and +. w. Dunn. formerly of the Quar- tette mine, at Searchlight. have organ lzed a company in Los Angeles to es. tablish dry placer plant on gravel mines in Yuma county, Arizona. and Imperial county, Cal. The men claim that they have more than 50.0O0, OO0S in these claims. The Quinner ma chine is to be used for crushing pur- poses and another process is to be pur in to save the gold. As we under stand it the Quinner machine is no, q success, and it is improbable that it could crush the tonnage necessary to make low grade gravel deposit a world beater, as the promoters claim. The gravel is estimated to have some thing over one dollar to the yard (about 33OO pounds), which will have to be crushed to degree of fneness necessary to get large extraction. There is no doubt of many dry placers in Arizona that have better than one dollar value to the yard, but so far no method has been devised to work them to success.
 c. L. Davidson and wife. w. B. Throck morton, Geurge Theis and Ger trude Thels. and Throck Davidson arrived in Kingman a few days ago from Wichita, Kansas. having made the trip across the country in big locomobie car. They report having had no trouble on the road, only one puncture being sustained in the entire journey. The party departed Tuesday to Copperville, where they will make an examination of the mines and mill of the Arizona Southwestern Copper pany, in which they are largely interested. Mr. Davidson is also in- terested in the Yellow Jacket mine, which is Just now under development. R. c. Jacobson, the well known King man engineer, departed to Coppervle, where he will meet Mr. Davidson and party and go on to the Yellow Jacket mine to inspect the new work. The whole party is interested in Mohave county mines and may take up other properties with a view to developing them to the producing stage.
 Report has it that the Pinkham has found some very goo1 copper ore on the lower level of that property. This ore is in the north end of the claim, the mineralized part of the vein being five feet wide and the ore carrying better than four per cent copper.
