Mohave County miner., 1914-08-01
Mines of the County

the Tennessee mine to the smelter at
Needles indicates that great body of
ore is available in the property on the
900 level. The sinking of the shaft to
the 1000 will bring in another great
back of ore, which is indicated by the
work on the 900. The opening of these
great ore bodies at depth should give
an impetus to mining in the Chloride
section.
Twenty miners were taken to the
Arabian mines last Wednesday and
will be put to work driving the drifts
on that big property, as well as sink
ing the shafts to greater depth. The
mine is said to have one of the greatest
showings ever opened in the county
and that this is so is indicated by the
big force of men now employed there.
Manager Calhoun is doing things and
we predict for him one of the greatest
successes his company has ever known.
R. l.. Dimmick, who arrived in King
man from Denver yesterday is to at
once get things in shape to begin the
sinking of deep shaft on the Frisco
Gold mines. The work will begin
about the 10th of the month and later
the big mill will be started up. 1t is
probable that the mill will be remodel
ed and its capacity increased to about
$50 tons daily. The big mine is cap
able of outputting sufficient ore to keep
the mill running continuously for years
to come.
Chris Vogt and Tom Sickles came in
from Wallapai mountains few days
ago, having completed large amount
of work on the Vogt-McCright copper
claims. Mr.. Vogt reports that he has
opened splendid showing of copper in
the big vein and that every foot of
work has opened greater bodies of the
red metal. The mines are situated in
the Wauba Yuma district, near the old
Pride of the Pines claim, which was
located in the early sixties.
Little and GARNER have Just had
their five stamp mill and concentration
plant hauled out to the property in the
fVallapai mountains, above Round VAL
ley, where it will soon be put to work
pounding out high grade of ore.
This ore carries gold, silver, and lead
in>pay quantity and the ore streak is
large enough to furnish big tonnage.
The drift has been connected by raise
with the old shaft, which allows a fine
circulation of air and at the same time
opens up good bodies of milling ore.
The, Union Basin Mining company is
row shipping two cars of heavy zinc
ore to the Bartlesville, Oklahoma, plant
daily. This ore is the best ever taken
from the property, the zinc content
running about as per cent and the gold
and silver value being very much high
er than that found in the ores above
the 9th level. The difference in the
value of the gold and silver is sufficient
to meet not only the depreciation in the
market price of zinc, but also to pay
nearly the fixed charges against the
ore. The mine is in splendid shape for
the making of big output.
Water has been taken from the Gold
en- Gem mine to the $50 level, but it is
understood that the timbers are in
rather bad shape below the 300 and may
have to be replaced. This part of the
mine was timbered up shortly before
the closing down of the mine and it
was reasonable to expect that it would
be found in fine shape. The Golden
Gem mine is one Of the best gold prop
critics in the Cerbat mountains and we
hope the people negotiating for its
purchase will go through with the deal
Messrs. Kuencer and Lawrence are
now in Pasadena closing up the deal, it
is said.
j. c. Hoffman is now manager of the
Arizona Southwestern Copper company,
vice L. Hoffman, resigned. The new
manager is conversant with the bust
ness of the company and is sure to
make good. Leonard Hoffman, the re-
firing manager, has been with the COM
|Rpany from it's inception and has done
kn immense amount of work with the
Money expended. He was untiring in
his efforts to bring success to the prop
erty and leaves it in good shape. 1t is
