t. The pro- TT ard that water is now

E. S. Clark, the well known Prescott
lawyer, was a Kingman visitor this
week going out to the Ruth mine on
important business. He believes that
country has a bright future and that
the whole district will be one of the big
gold sections of the country.
A sample of ore sent in by W. D..
Grannis last week, which was taken
from the Waldron mine, near the mouth
of Deluge Wash, gave results of As per
cent zinc, a small percentage of lead,
and 34$ in gold and silver. Mr.. Grannis
reports that the vein shows a large
body of this class of ore. The company
is now opening the property at the 100
level and expect soon to be sinking the
shaft to another level.
Walter Myers and w. L. Frost came
in from Wallapai Springs yesterday
morning. Mr.. Myers informs US that
he has just completed the crosscut tun-
mel and tapped the vein of the Big
Pine lode, in Grant and McGreary wash,
and that four feet of fine lead ore has
been opened. The ore gave assay val
ues of SIS FER cent lead. IS gold and 20
ounces silver. This vein is one upon
which ]. j. Watts worked many years
ago, but which was abandoned by him
when he left the country. Mr.. Myers
believes he has one of the best proper
ties in the Wanapais.
George w. Mark, at one time u. S..
Assayer at the ST.. Louis office, &C
companied by Mr.. Emmich, arrived in
kingman several days ago and have
gone to the Orc Plata mine, where they
will make an examination of that prop
erty, as well as the old Cordela.. Mr..
Chamberlain and his son arrived in
Kingman and went OF t to the ORC Plata
yesterday to join Mr.. Mark in looking
over that property for the purpose of
investment. The. gentlemen are all
interested in mining, Messrs. Chamber
lain in the south part of the state and
Mr.. Mark in this county.
Miners coming in from the Copper
Giant mine report that the property is
wonder, the lower level being all in
ore OF high copper content. The ore
also runs high in gold and silver values.
Tie mine owners Of the district are
jubilant over the opening of this big
property, as it assures the camp per-
manency. The camp has many mines
that show excellent value on the surface,
many of them being immense outcrops
of quartz. To the east lies a contact
of lime, along which are some veins
carrying lead as well as copper and
gold. 1t would not oe surprising if
a great mineral belt was opened there
DUNG the next few years.
Charles Grimes and S. S. Jones were
in Kingman yesterday attending to
some important business. 1t had been
reported that the big gold mills of the
country will have difficulty in procuring
cyanide of potassium, ard in conse-
qusnce the Tom Reed and other mills
in this county would soon be compelled
to close down. The MINER ed tor n er-
70 gated Mr.. Jones regarding the matter
and he stated that the manufacturers
mad gwen them assurance that there
would be no failure of supply of cyan
ide. Plants IN New Jersey and other
places in the United States had started
up since TIE outbreak of the war ard
We're now manufacturing a supply Of
tae potassium salts sufHcieet to supply
the American demand. This is quite a
relief TO the mill operators, as well as
the miners and mlilmen of the gold
districts of the west.
Judge Carl Krook was over at the
Golconda mine this week and reports
that great zinc mine is sending about
two cars of ore to the smelter daily,
