Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1914-09-19

quite reputation from the fact that
very high grade ore was uncovered at
and near the surface, and this strike is
conclusive that the rich material found
on the surface is emphasized at depth.
Joe Mitch, the manager, is an ex-
perienced and thoroughly competent
mining man and his work on this prop
erty is bringing the very best results.
The main working shaft was sunk to
depth of 200 feet and from the bottom
a crosscut was driven IL feet and at
this point the vein was intersected.
This crosscut was advanced a total
length of "a feet and there is only one
wall, the foot wall in sight. Along the
footwall the pay shoot is feet wide
and carries gold values of an average
of lis per ton, though considerable
high grade is found in the vein. The
whole of this "a feet is vein formation
and no doubt other rich stratas will be
opened up as the work advances.
There are three tons of high grade on
the dump which will average 5OO$ per
ton in gold. The shaft is now entirely
clear of water yet as about 5000 gallons
per day has been raised it is deemed
necessary to at once install pump in
order no trouble will be encountered in
future. A deal is on with a party of
Pasadena and Los Angeles people for
Eclipse and a party will arrive this
week to look over the property.
Experienced practical mining men
generally know that the large holdings
of w. H. Hall in the Whitebird field is
one of the very best on the great gold
zone that trends and can be traced for
100 miles in the River range. The shoots
of ore are strongly defined and gener-
ally very high grade, though there are
large bodies of lower grade which
carry general average values of $40 to
SIS in gold per ton. 1t is proposed to
increase the reduction capacity by in
stalling 10 stamps and complete cya-
hide plant. Mr.. Hall is an experienced
and conservative mining man and all
deve lopment work will be prosecuted
judic:ously and economically.
Qualey Brothers are putting in
heavier machinery on the old blackberry
mine, the present plant being made
quate to handle the large volume of
water. A big compressor plant is
among the new machinery. AS soon as
this machinery is put in and the water
reduced, sinking will again be resumed.
We have it on good authority that
the Iowa group of mines, near the Tom
Reed, is soon to be taken over under
bond. The mines are owned by As
SCISSOR F. l.. Hunt and John H. Moore,
and are among the best properties of
the district.
w. l.. MacKay, one of the most ia
vorably known mining men in the big
Nevada and Arizona camps, recently
visited the property of the Arabian
Con. in Union Pass section. The de-
velopment work consists of an incline
shaft to depth of 300 feet and dis
closes a strongly defined vein of excel
lent milling material all the way down.
At the 100-level drift was advanced
to connect with an incline on the Ara
ban claim. This work is all in good
ore. Under the personal direction of
A. B. Calhoun this property has proven
to be one of the big milling properties
for which Arizona has become famous.
Fred Brown and Manuel Reese have
gone to the Chemehuevis to do some
work on their rich gold claims. They
are negotiating for stamp mill which
will be installed at an early date This
property is near the big strike recently
made in that section. Bill Ye, the res
taurant man, is interested in the pro-
perty.
Mark Bradley, who is we'll known in
Mohave County, has a lease on the
Clack mines, on Slate Creek Yavapai
County, and is getting out splendid
shipping ore.
