Mohave County miner., 1914-06-13
Mines of the County

Basin few days ago and reports that mining is looking good throughout that part of the district.
 Mir. Bass, representing Texas pc ople, has been in Kingman the past several days inquiring into the possibility of getting large quantities of mol bdenite ores. He is also looking after tungsten and wulfnlte. He leaves today for Parker, where he will look into some wulfinite property.
 Last night T. J. Purdy came in from Sudbury, Pa., and will look after the interests of the Yucca Mining con- pany. Mir. Purdy has been with this company since it's inception. J. E. White, one of the best known engi- neers on the coast, has been manager of the property the past year and has been making success of it's opera tion.
 Braley and Shaffier have taken a bond on the property of Peter Caffery, at Layne Springs and already have be- gun work. The men are well known miners of that section and believe they will be able to open up some ex- cellent ore. The vein shows gold, sil- yer and lead values and at one time was a producer of shipping ore. Mr. Caffery has been at work on the mine some time past and already has a showing of good ore.
 Woody Alger who has been work ing on a new strike in the Hardy Butte, west of Wallapai station, re. ports that he has taken some very rich gold ore from the deposit. The strike made some time ago by A. l.. McKes- son, is on the west side of the butte, some distance from that of Alger. While the vein is small the ore is i'm mensely rich. We have always been of the opinion that that section of the county would some day show up good veins and we still believe that diligent prospecting will develop some excel lent veins of gold and silver.
 O. D. Clack, who has been at work over in California, came in from Los Angeles Thursday evening. He has been working up d deal on some rare earths and expects to some time make a barrel of money from it. The de- mand for fuller's earth is growing day by day and if some one could deliver large deposit of it he could command considerable money. The earth is used to fill cloth and enters into many other useful processes. We believe it it to be had in thls county, but so far no effort has been made to develop the deposits.
 People just In from the Tom Reed section report that that great property has opened another immense body of ore that will run close to l00$ to the ton. The body was found in a cross cut from one of the shafts. Just how great this find is cannot at this time be ascertained, as there has been no drifting on it. A week or two ago the company opened great body on the $50 level, the whole breast of the drift being in ore that ran above 64S to the ton. This ore body is being reinforced daily by the driving of the drift along this ore. and the further siuking of the winze. Probably no gold mine in the United States has a greater future than the Tom Reed
 Report comes from the Arabian mines, in the Union Pass section, now under option to the Mines Company of America, that at depth of 100 feet in one of the four shafts now being sunk on the property great body of silver ore was broken into. Just how exten- sive this ore body is cannot be ascer. tained until further work is done, but we take it that the management ex- poets great things from it. The ore is said to be the richest in silver content of anything ever found Tn the county. and that IS going some, as Mohavs county produced some of the richest silver ore ever taken from a mine any, where. The ore from this mine has been carrying milling values in gold, only small amount of silver being a "a Eris
