Mines of the County


 Smelling company received number of carloads of lum Der and timber for tho Tennessee mine. That property is being opened on the 900 level and is showing great ore.
 Tom McNeely. owner of good cop per property at Mineral Park, came over to Kingman Wednesday last to visit few days with his family. He reports mining matters showing up better and better in the region of the Park.
 Alexander and Stebbins, who have been looking over the Swastica prop erty. near the McCracken, have gone to Los Angeles to get machinery in readiness for shipment to the mine. This machinery will consist of crush ing plant and Stebbins dry concentra- tor. The plant is expected to be in com mission in sixty days.
 Adams Simonds and Dr. Furman, who have been operating mines near Thumb Butte, are in town. During the past few months they have sunk the shaft on one of the claims to depth of sixty feet, where water was encountered, making it impossible to sink to further depth until a holster was put in. The veins in the claims are large and carry big values in gold.
 James k. Babcock and J. V. Caroth- CTS came over from Eldorado Canyon Wednesday night and departed the following day to Chloride, where they will look over mining property. MT. Babcock was at Eldorado Canyon when the Indian Queto killed the doctor Gilbert, at the Goldbug mill, and took part in the chase after the murderer, but without success. Not to this day has anything been heard of the Indian.
 J. k. White this week visited the Grannis property, in the lower end of Deluge Wash and reports that the work of getting machinery to the prop erty is going along rapidly. In con- ing from the property he stopped at the Copper Canyon mines and saw the operation of the Stebbins concentrator, with which he was very much impress ed. The mine was looking fine, and to MT. White it gave the impression of opening splendid copper property.
 George B. Ayers last Tuesday came to Kingman with a bar of bullion weighing l5,OOOs, the regular weekly cleanup of the mill of the Gold Road company. This company is now work ing the largest force of men since the property was taken over by the United States Smelling, Refining and Mining company. It is the general belief that great Improvements at the mill will soon be under way. the mines having enough are in sight to warrant double the present output.
 William O'Dea, who made a spen- did strike of ore in the Pilgrim mine a week ago is taking a rest in Todd Basin, but will return to the mine shortly to drive the drift still farther into the ore body. The Pilgrim has been opened to a depth of 100 feet on the incline and it is the impression that at this depth enough ore will be opened to necessitate milling plant. The ore from the surface was very rich and some of the specimens taken from the outcrop were extremely rich.
 R. C. Jacobson sent to Kingman Thursday last sample of native cop- per ore taken from the drift that is being run on the Whale vein. He re- ports that he has his crusher in place and connected up with the engines and that the work of turning out con- csntrates is being pushed. The Steb. bins dry concentrator is doing good work, the concentrates being clean and high grade. A larger mill will soon be installed to treat the big ore bodies of ore that the mine is capable of sending out.
 w. J. .Latchford, of Los Angeles, and his engineers, R. S. Baverstock, of Tucson, and E. E. Fuller, of Phe- nix, have made an examination of the Miller properties, in Silver Creek, and if IA said that work will ha s,,,,
