Mines of the County

will begin active development of his big lead property In tho foothills of tho camp. He expects to cut the vein within short time, and should the same showing be had as is indicated by surface crop he will have g big shipper.
 Miners coming in from the Union Pass section report that the Arabian Con. Mines are showing splendid ore in all the openings. The company has been sinking four shafts on the mines and in all have encountered water. In the crosscuts the ore shows well, the values being higher than expected. On the market the shares of the parent company, the Mirss Company of America, show big gains, the mines at Union Pass being mentioned as one of the causes for the advance.
 s. E. Barron, of Oatman, has been visiting in Kingman several days this week. For the past two years he has resided in the Tom Reed camp and during that time has acquired some desirable mining property. The mines lie alongside of and take in part of the great Tom Reed vein, and it would appear to be worthy a tryout by investors. On all sides of the Tom Reed good milling grade ore has been encountered in working the veins and there IS reason to believe that the big vsin in the Barron property would prove a winner with proper develop ment.
 It is expected that the sinking of the main shaft of the Arizona South western Copper company will be under way within the next thirty days. The company is just now getting things ln shape to do some deep work and it is expected that with two hundred feet more great body of ore will be open ed The present workings have just reached the sulphides and as yet shows the effects of teaching. With greater depth any enrichment that may come from the leached ground above should show we'll in the added value of the ores. The vein is an i'm mense one and will surely produce an abundance of valuable ore. The open. ing up of great mine at Copperville means big things for that district.
 J. J. Connolly came in from his min ing camp at Bobtail Basin, few days ago, and reports that he has carload of good grade copper ore ready for shipment to the Copper Queen smelter, at Douglas. While the freight rate is somewhat high the smelter rate is low, and the terms are very inviting. Should the railroads make rate tha, will allow of shipment to the shelter ies of the south large tonnage of ore would go out in that direction from Mohave county mines. Ores from th,s county are silicious, and the smelters penalize it at rate of six cents pel unit, which is considered too high by the shippers. Silica is necessary tC some of the shelter plants and it is te be expected that payment should be made for this content instead of tn. miner paying penalty on it. Jerome penalizes below 75 per cent. and pay. for it where the silica content is high CT than that percentage.
 a. L. McCarn, of Chloride, manager of the Rainbow Mountain Mining com pany, is visiting in Kingman. He re ports that the company is working force of men on the Rainbow and tha the property is showing big improve ment. On the 400 the drift south i being extended and the ore body show' improvement with every foot, the bod being larger here than at any othe place in the property. On the 225
 crosscut IS being driven to the veil cut on the level above. but it is ex pectsd that connection will not b. made for some time. As soon as tn work of opening the new vein has ad vanced sufficiently the company vii begin tho shipment of ores to tn shelter. An immense tonnage of To, grade ore that will have to be mille was opened in the levels above the 400 some of which was milled at Needle.
