Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1914-08-15

Kingman visitor yesterday. He reports
mining looking we'll in that section, but
that it is probable that the war scare
will impede present development.
William Neagle was Kingman visi-
tor yesterday, coming down from the
Copper Giant mine, where he is mana
ging the work for the United Verde
company. The mine is showing big re-
suits under his management and it is
probable that the property will be ship
ping to the smeter shortly after the
first of the year.
Yesterday morning A. P. Anderson,
of Los Angeles, field engineer of the
U. S. Smelling Reduction and Mining
company, Frederick Lyon, of Salt Lake
City, accompanied d. r. Muir, of the
Gold Road Mines company, to Chloride,
where they will look over the Tennessee
mine The gentlemen make the rounds
of the mining camps about every quar-
ter and this is one of the usual trips to
ascertain the actual condition of the
properties. 1t is understood that they
are we'll pleased with the condition of
the Arizona roperties and that it is
probable that many improvements will
result from their report. The company
is one of the largest mining corpora
tons in the United States, and owing
to conditions in Mexico they may try to
build up their American holdings to
double the present capacity.
Fred Lesser, manager of the Louis
iania-California Mining company, oper-
ating group of eight claims, about
eight miles north of Colts, California,
was visitor at the MINER Office last
Wednesday. Mr.. Lesser states that
the ores in the claims bear gold, silver,
vanadium, and also shows some radio
action. The object of Mr.. Leiser's
visit to this place to see about the let
ting of a contract to sink the main
shaft of the mines from 200 to 500 feet
deeper. BIDS for the work will be re-
ceived by the company at any time
during the next few weeks. The COM
pany will furnish all supplies at cost,
ard machines for the work are also in
place on the property. The company
had large milling plant on the prop
erty, but it was destroyed by fire on
the first of July. With further work
on the mines it is the belief of the
management that great property will
be opened.
The Mineral Separation Company,
limited, is about to institute suit
against many of the big copper COM
panies for infringement of what they
claim is their patent right of the use
of oil froth for purposes of separating
the minerals from the gangue. In the
recent proceeding in the U. S. Circuit
court, at Butte, the basic patent of the
Minerals Separation company was
denied, the court holding that no basic
patent could exist where many other
oils using processes had used the same
theory for many years prior to the is
srance of the patent to this corpora
ton. But the fact remains that the
theory on which the patent to the pro-
cess is based is not in line with that
employed by the other companies,
these using paraffin and asphaltum
oils and the Minerals Separation COM
pany an oily froth from eucalyptus.
And there are some other differences
of application, which can only be set
tied by court of last resort.
Dundon and Beauchamp have just
shipped 28-ton carload of ore to the
Ell Paso smelter. This one was taken
from their mine in Union Basin, short
distance west of the Golconda mine.
The boys have had some men at work
on the mine and have gotten good re-
suits. The ore is high grade in gold,
the values being about 1905 to the ton.
Mr.. Dundon informs us that while the
high grade streak is somewhat small
there is body of milling ore in the
drifts. 1t appears that the ore is in
small stringers throughout big por-
phyry dixie and that through the fault
ed material gold values run. The
ground is soft and easily worked. A
tunnel enters the vein about rs feet be-
low the outcrop and another tunnel is
