Mohave County miner., 1913-11-22

erable water no leasing has been done on the property in the past several years, although new shaft has been sunk to depth of nearly 800 feet. With big company in control of the property it is sure to become one of the big producers of Mohave county. In all the levels and stopes below the water level big ore bodies still exist. D. P. Wright, owner of a group of mines south of Boundary Cone peak, upon which considerable work has been done. has organized company to operate the property, under the name of the Black Range Mining com paay, and is east interesting capital in his venture. The Wright group is on the Nellie vein, one of the largest quartz outcrops in the district. The ores carry considerable quartz, adula- ria, and the values run from 5 to ll5S to the ton. Shafts have been sunk to uCpUuS Ol ~ lCSu, CO lCCU duo loO lCCp. The vein IS very large and some re. markabe masses of quartz carrying free gold has been taken from the workings. Mr. Wright has been work ing on the development of the prop, erty for some time, but only recently was able to secure entire control, so that he could carry out his plans for the equipment ard future develop ment of the great vein. The group is critics in the southerly part of the dis trict.
 L. A. Cookery has arranged for the sinking of the deep shaft on the old Hack berry property and this week John Angle and family passed through here from Chloride for that place, where Mr. Angle will have charge of the work. The mine is being equipp ed with a big hoisting plant and the shaft will be carried down perpen- dicularly to depth of $50 feet, where it is expected the vein will be inter- sected on it's dip about 400 feet below the present level. The vein dips away rapidly, and while the old shaft had reached a depth of 600 feet on the incline it is understood to only have a depth of 3S5 feet under the outcrop The mine was a big producer in it's day and there are big bodies of ore stlll in the property, while the new work should bring to light still better ore. The work is being done by the Dudley brothers, who hold option on the property.
 James A. Roberts and R. l.. Dim mick came in from Denver the first of the week and left at once for the Frisco mines. Mir. Roberts is one of tho directors in the company and will remain at the mines some time Mr. Dimmck is superintendent of the property. It is the general opinion that the property is now under con- sideration by one of the big mining corporations of the United States and that it is possible that great things will be doing if taken over. The present corporation has expended a large amount of money on develop ment of the mines and building a milling plant, but large part of this has been returned in bullion.
 In a communication received by the editor from H. E. Woods, who is at Oatman, we are informed that the company that recently took over the Golconda group of mines is to begin active work on the mines at once. The shaft will be equipped with a holster and sinking and crosscutting will be prosecuted with vigor.
 Joseph Krauss, who with John II. Moore, recently disposed of the old Ben Doran mines, returned from Los Angeles few days ago. He is the owner of considerable mining propel ty in the Vivian section. which he has developed to a point where production
