! the Santa Fe at blackberry, next
month. There are number of small
claims south of Kingman on which this
plant might be profitably installed.
James Meikle, superintendent of the
Nevada Arizona Gold Mines company,
was in from Music Mountain a few
days ago. He reports that the ore
bodies on the 400 level are showing up
fine and that on the 300 the ore has
been cut and raises will be made
through the ore to the 200. The ore
carries good values in gold and some
silver.
o. F. Kuencer and associates have
taken bond on the property of Robert
Petty, some distance south of Little
Meadows, and Monday last Mr.. Kuen-
Ger let contract to Petty to sink a
shaft to depth of so feet in the best
part of the vein. The vein is said to
be one of the best looking propositions
in the country, the outcrop showing
gold wherever worked upon. 1t is adj
mirably situated for economical work.
ing, which makes it an ideal gold prop
erty to open up.
Jack Cornelius is up from the Copper
Canyon mines and reports that the
work of driving ahead in the Whale
vein is being pushed with machine
drill. In the adit drift on the Copper
Wonder the ore body shows two feet
Of fine sulphide and about two feet of
mixed ore. The drift is in over thirty
feet and it is expected that a big body
of copper will be opened. The ore at
the adit showed width of eight feet
and was Of excellent grade. At one
point in the drift the molybdenite
showed well, there being but a small
amount of copper in it. 1t is expected
that shipment of ore will be made
from this streak, the buyers making
most inviting offer for it.

O. D. M. Gaddis and Fred Stull went
down the east side of the Wallapais a
few days ago to look over the mining
claims recently located by Fred Banks
for himself, l. M. George and Joe
Ro' en- erc. They repor, t. at the claims
are looking fine and that in all the
Mornings they made of the ore from the
outcrop gold was found. The veins are
very large and appear to carry good
values wherever opened. In one of the
veins crOsscut was run across twelve
feet of ore that shows values in gold,
silver and lead. The mines are high up
on the mountain, but in an acces sable
part of the country. At present only
trail leads to the properties, but good
wagon road can be built at small ex-
pense. Mr.. Gaddis made a number of
locations for his own account and will
do some work on them right away. The
whole country in that section is a net
work of large veins and with better
transportation facilities would become
one of the greatest mining sections of
the State. Many claims have already
been located in that neighborhood and
prospectors are now going in there.
Governor Hunt appears to have the
proper idea of what to do with the I'M
employed people of Arizona. He pro-
poses to put all convicts back in the
pen and employ all possible of the I'M
employed miners of the State on road
work. This would be the proper way
to take care for our own unemployed
until the big copper mines got over
their scare and took the men back.
The State roads have to be built and
the employment Of several thousand
men that have been turned loose from
the mines would bring greater pros
perity to the state than anything else.
The possible calamity in the closing
down of the big copper mines would in
the end prove blessing if all the need
ed roads were built during the period
of depression. For this reason we feel
that even with our antagonism to the
proposed bond issue for State roads we
would feel that one and all should vote
for the bonds. Anyway we are in favor
of building the roads and we must have
the money to expend.
