Mohave County miner., 1914-12-12
The Pilgrim Mine to be Op-
 erated.

Wednesday last William O'Dea came in from his mine with George Roper, who was accompanied by two San Francisco mining men, and arrange ments were made for the commence ment of work on the Pilgrim mines. Machinery, cars and steel, as well as other materials were ordered from the Arizona Engineering Company and will be shipped direct to Chloride, whence they will be hauled out to the mines. MT. O'Dea is said to have one of the most promising gold mines in the Black Range, and with the opening up of the ore body on the 400 level it ought to soon be in the producing class. Last year, in doing the assessment work on the mine, a crosscut was run from the bottom of the 400 foot shaft to the footwall and there five feet of excel lent ore was opened. This ore was never cut by the work from the sur face down and it is thought that the big streak will be found on the other levels when the crosscuts are made. Mr. O'Dea will have charge of the work and snug sum has been placed in the bank to carry the developments to a conclusion. The Pilgrim mine is situated across the valley to the west of Chloride and in one of the most ac- cessable places in that range. It was discovered by MT. O'Dea some years ago and prospecting revealed some of the richest ore ever found in the coun- ty. In sinking the shaft the parties having the bond kept to the hanging wall, although the best ore showed on the foot. When the shaft was com pleted to the 400 the parties working the mines wanted long time exten- sion, which was refused and the work stopped. Had they continued and crosscut the vein the sale would have been made, but that is the luck of min ing.

It rises more than 2000 feet in five miles, weaves around sharp turns and passes over the Wallapai mountains at an altitude of about 5000 feet From this road the whole coun- try to the west can be seen and some of the most beautiful sunsets ever known have been observed from it's lofty height. It is not known if the two men had gone out on the road to commune with nature and witness these glorious sunsets or not but they had the right direction.

Monday is usually messenger day for the Gold Road company, and as usual George B. Ayers came in and delivered over to Wells, Fargo and Co. one of the big bars that the Gold Road company has gotten the habit of delivering fresh from the furnace. This bar weighed trife over O,O00$. It is to be hoped that these bars will continue to make their way through the lines with more frequency and of larger size. They are necessity in the daily life of not only mine, but the community that surrounds the mines.

this year will be exceptionally light.
The loss to farmers will run into many
thousands of dollars. In some orch

and in others the percentage, as COM
pared with crops Of previous years,
will be very small.

LAST WEEKS
FOREST FIRES.

Forest fires did considerable dam
age in Whatcom county during The
latter part of last week.
The home of Sam Palmer toget-
her with the barn and other build
ings on. his place ut Booths Cor
ners were totally destroyed. The
Palmers saved nothing of their
household effects excepting few
pieces of wearing apparel. and their
automobile The Swope home ut
Booths Corners also had a close
call from destruction.
The howe of w. w. Vanover,
miles south of Nooksack was de-
stroyed OH Friday. Several other
farm houses in that vicinity were
placed in serious danger, but es-
capped destruction.
Extensive fires ragged in the
North wood district. Among the
properties endangered was that of
county attorney Bixby.
The buildings of the government
fish hatchery at Baker Lake, and
those of Christy logging works near
Glacier were destroyed causing
heavy losses.
The dry spell SO early in the
year was remarkab BILE one in this
section, and as the state fire ward
ems are not due to commence their
work until next Monday, property
of residents of many OF the country
districts were more than usually en-
dangered.
Hundreds of acres of slashings
were burned over during the three
days, and the benefits are estimat-
ed ut thousands of dollars. The
reports of damage by forest fires
were considerably exaggerated and
except in comparatively few local
tiles, where thSy destroyed form
buildings, the fires proved a ben
eft to the farmers. Fortunately
the fires did not reach beyond
slashings and but very little green
timber was destroyed.
Many of Lynden's residents re-
sponded promptly to the call for
aid in fighting threatening fires.
Several of the towns business men
and their employees left their places
of business to furnish aid to those
sections requiring it. Mr. NAPLES
